“We got the molcajete el chapo Guzmán. This was sooo good. The sauce was delicious. It had a kick, but I didn't feel it was too spicy. The shrimp was meaty, it was a big assortment of seafood and everything tasted delicious. I wish there was one more garlic bread since it really takes two people to finish it! Our server was very nice and explanatory. We had a great experience.”
“100/100 excelente lugar para comer, personal súper amable y atento!!! Son de los mejores mariscos de Chicago!! Recibes mucho mas por lo que pagas!! Recomendado!!”
“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!”
“He visitado este lugar en repetidas ocasiones y siempre es la mejor atención y la comida siempre deliciosa, no hay algo que yo diga que sabía mal o que no me gustara. La verdad que es mi lugar favorito, me encanta el caldo de pescado con las tortillas a mano. En esta ocasión comimos algo diferente y claro que estaba riquísimo. Lo recomiendo 100%”
“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.”
“A very warm and cozy restaurant with no loud music. The staff is real friendly. The food was delicious. I was impressed. Thank you so much. I will be back soon. Un restaurante muy encantador y acogedor, sin música alta. El personal es muy amable. La comida estaba deliciosa. Me impresionó. Muchas gracias. Volveré pronto.”
“One of the best seafood places here in Chicago. The food tastes amazing. The way they make sauce is unique and super reach of flavor. One of my favorite spot to visit from time to time.”
“The food was delicious. However, we were disappointed by the lack of transparency regarding menu prices compared to what we were ultimately charged. I also requested mayo for the fries and was surprised to see a $3 charge for it, which felt excessive. It would be more considerate to clearly communicate these additional costs to customers in advance. Also note that gratuity is already included in the bill and don’t overtip for this type of service.”
