“I had a great experience at this restaurant.”
I had a great experience at this restaurant! If you’re craving seafood, this is the spot to go. Everything we had was so good and properly portioned. We had the ceviche and tilapia plate. Seasoned to perfection and fried to our liking. For anyone specifically non alcoholic, all drinks were non alcoholic and also tasted great and complemented the food. I will definitely be stopping by again!

“So today, we wanted to try El Nuevo Langostino Restaurant.”
So today, we wanted to try El Nuevo Langostino Restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a big smile. The first thing we ordered was the Juarrito Loco drink. It was sweet tangy and refreshing on such a hot, humid day. We ordered #2 Levantamuertos, and it was beautifully displayed on a large platter filled with seafood. This dish included shrimp, scallops, muscles, crab legs, octopus, prawns, and surimi, all soaked in a delicious succulent spicy sauce. It also came with garlic toasted Texas bread, and we also ordered a side of the corn tortillas. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. Authentic Mexican flavor! Today is an extra special day, and people were walking in because of the 2025 Flavors of Albany Park. Everyone left with a big smile.

Amazing! The Molcajete's were among the best we have had! The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding, very fresh with perfect seasoning and beautiful presentation. The Agua Mineral Preperada was just what I needed on a Saturday morning. I can't recommend this place enough! For those not familiar with this style of food, it may be a bit intimidating. Just go. You will experience something that will quickly become one of your favorites!

“From a Mexican native perspective El Nuevo Langostino's place is clean, and there is enough space between tables.”
From a Mexican native perspective El Nuevo Langostino's place is clean, and there is enough space between tables. Mexican music is playing and has four TVs in the small business with yen tables. The waitress brings me a shrimp caldo before my order of a seafood tostada. The caldo is excellent. The tostada is very generous. The seafood taste fresh and delicious—very good lunch for $18. I definitely will be back.

“This restaurant is DELICIOUS& highly recommended.”
This restaurant is DELICIOUS& highly recommended! I went here with a group of 9 as a bday dinner and EVERYTHING we ordered was BOMB! Everything was soooo good, the service was great, all the food came out at the same time. They even sang happy bday with cooks and waitresses and we werent even expecting that. Honestly, our new favorite restaurant in the city. I live an hour away, but this restaurant is definitely worth the drive! We had enchiladas, huaraches, a mendigo, tortas, burritos and aguachiles and nothing disappointed 🤤

Literally just walked by this place and decided to try it for dinner and it was hands down one the of the most delicious seafood meals I've ever had. All the seafood tasted as it had been caught that morning and delivered straight from the ocean to your table. The tremendous flavor in every plate we ordered, it was absolutely divine. Definitely going back!
