It's a good spot to get some fresh seafood, variety is a little limited, and the price is on the extreme side but the atmosphere is nice. I had the stuffed pineapple and spicy shrimp. It's BYOB and it gets packed here. If you're in the area worth a shot but be ready to spend.

The flavor of the langostinos is great the ceviche is ok . But what dissapointed me is that we ordered the jumbo tray and the portion for the price is outrageous.
I've been to Los Corrales in cicero HUGE PORTION for the same price, same at venenos on pulaski,
Los magueyes in Burbank,
This place el cabgrejo has nuevo vallarta prices without the music I will give it another try in the future & hope the management compares pricing and portions to other locations this is constructive criticism don't over charge when there's better spots out there with better pricing .

Wow! Incredible place that I wish I knew about sooner! It's first come first serve but they put you on list and will call when your table is ready. Been here TWICE in same week! The shrimp were HUUUGE and packed with so much flavor. Their staff is nice and it's BYOB. WOOOOOO!

We enjoyed this place during our visit to Spain (we’re from United States). The views were stunning, great service, good food. If you’re visiting Spain from the US, I want to warn you that they take their sweet time to serve you. People don’t go out to eat every day or every weekend there like they do at home in America. So when they do get out, it’s like an event for whole evening. Expect to be there for few hours, especially if you’re getting dessert. But then, it’s worth sitting and relaxing sometimes and not to rush anywhere! Also, I made reservation on Friday night, but they weren’t booked at all. It’s more popular to go out on Sunday for lunch than on Friday or Saturday evening in Spain. Enjoy!

Amazing service, very delicious food that has kick but it tastes soooo good. Food wait on a Saturday was not too bad,I've been to worse places were the wait was dreadful.
To summarize, it was amazing and delicious.

I'm glad to have a great sea food place so close to home. BYOB spot with spacious interior. The decore is simple and a bit more modern than other places. The prices are right for the large portions that came with my order. Beware the orange habanero hot sauce on the table. I had the Fried Red Snapper in spicy sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked and the red sauce was amazing and not too spicy. My wife had the stuffed lobster. Which was just as delicious. The suace was creamy and flavorful. The lobster itself was large and cooked to perfection. I can't recommend this spot enough if you like Mexican style seafood.
