"As you drive down Bellaire Boulevard, it’s hard to miss this festive patio and the overhanging roof on which the name “La Cruderia” is painted boldly across. The interior and the food are just as bright and colorful. Classics like tortas and tacos are easily go-tos, but the real draws are the micheladas and the seafood dishes. The Ceviche Yucateco is a tangy combination of fish and shrimp with a refreshing mix of onion, cilantro, cucumber, tomato, avocado, and habanero chili. A section of the menu is dedicated solely to its sweet and savory micheladas options, like the Gummy, a gaudy michelada topped with spicy and sweet candies, sweet and sour sauce, cucumber, Japanese peanuts, and a mango lollipop. The La Golosa — topped with beef jerky, shrimp, picked pork skins, spicy peanuts, and cucumber — is almost a meal in itself." - Minh Truong, Sean Hekmat
