"La Cruderia, a mariscos and michelada spot in Bellaire, could easily be a little shack on the beach, which makes sense, since you’re here for the oysters and seafood. While the menu here is massive, La Cruderia keeps the oyster selection focused. Order them naturales(raw, with or without pico)or gratinados (roasted, with or without serrano-piquin salsa). Throw back a couple dozen with crisp, spicy pico and lime in between some of La Cruderia’s other dishes like mountains of ceviche and tostadas, and keep it casual with a shrimp-topped michelada or a 32oz Mexican beer." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
