El Camaron Loco

The shrimp Enchiladas Mexicanas are outstanding. Both in person and delivery. Wonderful flavor. The green sauce is best but the red is also great. The rice is delicious. Steak and chicken are also good options. Chicken is better than the steak. The atmosphere is festive. The dining room is bigger than it looks from outside and there is an outside seating area as well. Friendly and efficient staff. I will return. Most definitely. I speak highly of this restaurant.

This place has the best enchiladas ever made. The sauces are the BEST! It is impossible to decide if the red is better or the green. I could go for a swim in both. In fact i am going to head there after work tonight. Mmmm

Amazing food great service and great atmosphere highly recommend for seafood lovers and in general great Mexican food. The patio looks amazing and restaurant looks clean and great. Lots of great of Changes in the restaurant so far would recommend to come and dine. 5/5

Food nasty as hell. Everything is extremely expensive for the way it tastes… Drinks are priced at $5-$6 for a normal sized soda. Environment is small inside and heard other people complaining about something being wrong with their food on the way out . First and last time going there.

Great food, reasonable price

Ordered 3 aguachiles. The first had a big chunk of tomato . Second with purple onion chunks and dried celery. Third with mainly onion and big slices of tomato. They barely had any shrimp in them, and also in my opinion aguachiles aren’t just Clamato juice and vegetables cute up like fajitas. It was like a cocktail de Camaron with big chunks of vegetables. We took it back and luckily got our money back and an apology. Even waiter said that was unacceptable and uneatable. Never eating there again.

Great seafood at good prices. The menu is extensive with many Mexican seafood staples. Great chips and salsa to start and jamaica to wash it down with. I had the Trio Costeño subbing more shrimp for the tuna empanada. Their ceviche is some of the best I've had.

This was the first time we’ve tried this restaurant. This was the worst experience of Mexican cuisine in Colorado by far. It’s like there was not effort to prepare meal at all and it tasted horrible. I don’t recommend eating here!

Solo quiero decir que este lugar es tan delicioso, es triste que no esté tan ocupado, pero la comida es fantástica, la música me recuerda a mi tío borracho. La próxima vez que venga será para el martes de tacos.

Ordered coctel de Camaron. The shrimp portion was good. Didn't have much avocado, too much onion. Could be better if they add cucumber.

Place was super good, and a popular spot in the area. If you're looking for traditional Mexican dishes this place has an abundance of them. It's best to be familiar with Spanish at these places but even if you're not the service is super friendly and helpful! The you g girls working here are all super sweet. There's plenty of seating options , and we'll be back again soon because that menu is extensive! If you're wanting a super trendy vibes or Insta space, then you need to not this is not for that buuut I don't look for places for that, personally. But if that's for you then I'm letting you know but there is patio seating and I enjoy that enough!

My favorite place to go! I have a love hate relationship here. It's usually spicy but todays wasn't, not sure what happened there!! In the past i have called one hour before they close and i was close by ready to pick up in which i let the lady in the phone know as well! Mid call the lady just hangs up, i try to call back to finish the call, and it took me 3 more attempts to get an answer! I told them my name and how i was ordering and they hang up again. Not sure why they were pissy that day but oh well!! I will start going to a different location! Food overall is really yummy!! Just needs better phone etiquette here (:

Wonderful Mexican seafood place. It's a big change up from the usual Mexican fare that's just loaded with cheese and beans and rice. Here the dishes are way different! I got the shrimp cocktail (coctel de camaron) and it was a boatload of shrimp. I think I ate too much, so I recommend you share it with one or more friends. I think it usually comes with crackers but we asked for tostada shell as the crunchy side. Please support this business and brave the road construction on Federal. Great people work here.

I really wanted to like this place -- it could've just have been a bad day to order delivery. Asada meat was so dry and everything felt like it had been sitting out all day before being out into the container. Everything looked so good at first when we first opened up the box but everything tasted like it was missing something. The barbacoa tasted like corn beef hash. Extra star for all the avocado.

Comida muy rica, porciones grandes y muy buen servicio! Los trabajadores son atentos y muy amables!

la comida estaba horrible, la verdad el AguaChile literalmente era Agua sin Chile con camarones y una cantidad exagerada de Cebolla, mi Mojarra Fruta era simplemente un pecado pasado por la freidora sin sal ni sazón tuve que pedir que me la prepararán de nuevo, es ilógico que no sepan preparar una Mojarra (la Mojarra no tenía cortes). en conclusión no recomiendo a nadie este lugar no la van a pasar bien. la instalaciones muy bien limpio el servicio al cliente las chicas excelente.

The ceviche I got was good, but they skimmed the shrimp and put more vegetables. The burrito my boyfriend got was barely packed, looked like a taco with beans and cheese, there was no protein. The ceviche tacos were straight wack. I ended up taking the ceviche from the soggy ass tortillas and mixed it in with my ceviche bowl so my man could at least enjoy the food. Honestly not worth the money.

Love this place been coming to this location since I was young...Food is always great!!

I love stopping by here to have the shrimp ceviche tostadas. The location is a bit difficult to get to with the construction on Federal Blvd, however worth the hassle if you're looking for delicious ceviche. If you have room for dessert, try their Flan, it's definitely one of the best around. The restaurant itself is a bit of a hole in the wall and pretty small but they're customer service has always been great and so has the food so I'll continue coming here for years to come

Ordered a smothered carne asada burrito and chips and salsa delivered. Chips and salsa were missing. Side of sour cream was missing. Driver said the order was sealed and he couldn't verify what was in the bag. The carne asada was chewy and the green chili was very runny. NOT authentic green chili. Definitely will not hit this place up again. Too many superb Mexican restaurants around. I am always searching for the next best green chill and burrito. This place was sub par and not fulfilling an order correctly means I'll never come back.

Great service, hot food, small atmosphere inside but great Mexican! Lots of parking and was a great place to stop before the Broncos game. Prices are a bit higher for a taco dive but will definitely be back!

Delicious! Everything I had was amazing. Their shrimp ceviche and tostada de Camaron are the best

So delicious... I'm very glad I went in after years of thinking about it. I had the chicken sopa which was 3 fried corn patties with refried bean, green chile, chicken and cojoita cheese on top. The flavors were rich and well combined. Will be back. Soon.

When someone from Mexico recommends a Mexican restaurant the recommendation is taken seriously. The hubs and I came here post couples massage and had a delicious lunch. I went with the cameron sopas with green sauce. The sopas were a delicate corn flavor packed with shrimp, green sauce, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. With three to an order, it was appropriate for a lunch. The hubs went with chicken enchiladas and they were among the best we've had. The beans and rice on the side were also stars of the show and not an after thought as so often happens. In short, the recommendation was awesome!

Just happened to wander into this place on a Saturday night. Unbelievable! The menu is a bit overwhelming, but it seemed like anything would be a great choice. My wife and I shared the #5 (shrimp sauteed in garlic butter). The 12 or so shrimp were SO amazing -- cooked perfectly and so succulent. It was served with a generous portion of perfectly cooked, tender, steamed rice, along with a small portion of salad. We also shared the #53 (shrimp cocktail). There were around 12 medium-sized boiled shrimp, several huge chunks of delicious avocado, and a nice light tomato-based sauce with ample amounts of crisp diced onion and cilantro. Service was quick, and the server came by several times to check on us and make sure everything was ok. Complimentary homemade chips and salsa were brought out first. Simple, but awesome. The salsa was fresh, tasty, and about a 6 out of 10 on the spice. We'll be back for sure.

Meh. A lot of our favorite places were closed today so went out on a limb and tried a new place. The food was good in a pinch, missed a few items we ordered on line had to catch a flight and didn't have time to wait.

Gave El Camaron Loco another chance. Delicious food as usual and delivered pretty quickly. Unfortunately, again, a missing item. I added an order of chips and salsa and again there was no salsa included with my order. Does the restaurant just not make enough salsa to get through the day?

Legit mariscos spot in Denver and Aurora... their coctel and ceviche is good. I haven't actually eaten inside the restaurant; I typically call it in and pick it up.

For Mexican seafood in a landlocked state, this place was good. Disclosure- my family is from the Baja Mexican coast so my standards for seafood are pretty high... I had the coctel de camaron, something I've been CRAVING since moving here 6 months ago! The coctel was decent, if not too oniony. The shrimp was massive and definitely came with plenty... but the garnishes of cucumber, onion, diced tomato and jalapeños were nonexistent. it was primarily onion which was a big downer. The juice was your standard Clamato and could have used a little salt/pepper. Hubs had the fish taco, another safe option. again, this could've used a little more flavor; he used tons of Valentina to get some taste in there. I'd be back, if only to get my fix ...

Damn. I really wanted to love the Crazy Shrimp, but my experience was kind of a let-down. First of all, holy expensive!! Judging from the look of the tiny, stuccoed cube with the homegrown murals painted all over its slightly run-down exterior, you wouldn't expect to see prices north of the $12 point on all but a few menu items! At least I didn't. But really, the only thing you can get for less than a ten-spot is a fish taco. ONE fish taco. Or a shrimp taco. ONE shrimp taco. Four dollars apiece. Being as how I hadn't planned on an expense-account meal, these were the two items I opted for. One of each. At $4 per, I was expecting something really, really amazing... ...but no. The fish taco, I hate to say (really, I do!), was worse than what you'd find at Rubio's, a chain. The fish was dried-out and flavorless. The shrimp taco was even worse. Those little crazies were cooked to within an inch of their lives (huh?) and then diced into oblivion so as maybe to mask the fact that they were tough and rubbery. NOT what you'd hope to find at a place with "shrimp" in its moniker! To add insult to injury, after I'd eaten my nearly-$10 meal, I was still hungry. This is not what I've come to expect from my hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints along Federal! For my money, I could've gotten 4 or 5 BETTER tacos at Tacos y Salsas and had leftovers ta' boot. Still, I'll leave The Crazy Shrimp three stars because if you're willing to throw down the cash, the fried whole fish DO look pretty tasty. Just not in this economy (I still blame Bush).

This place was fantastic! That's all there is to it. Now before we go further let's get a few things straight. 1. Expecting to get cheap seafood in a landlocked state. Look I get it, you want cheap mexican food. That's cool. We've all had those drunken moments. Go get flautas and cheese enchiladas somewhere else. This is a real seafood restaurant. This place is still better priced than red lobster (where seafood goes to die). 2. It's so expensive, what do I get for that? Well as long as you don't go getting something stupid like the tacos, you'll be fine. The portions are huge. So be brave and order something that you like the picture of. 3. I don't speak spanish.... ahhh I'm scared! I don't speak spanish. I was just fine. Look at the pictures, and if you like seafood find something that looks appealing. Again the portions on the platillo menu are giant. I had the fajitas diablo, which is basically a seafood medley for fajitas. There was too much food for me to eat all of it. The portions are great. Mine came with fish, shrimp, and octopus. All were fantastic in a spicy tomato based sauce. Can't wait to go back.

This food is awesome but the second time they made a mistake on the order. Ordered through grub hub and they forgot 6 steak burritos I bragged about their food to co workers and this is what I get and they didn't re deliver. Not making the mistake of ordering here again.

Don't let the ghetto exterior fool you. When I stepped inside I felt like I was back in Mexico in an authentic restaurant on the yucatan peninsula. The menu is large and overwhelming if you don't speak Spanish, which is probably why they have pictures. None the less, my meal was very tasty. Being a seafood lover who lives in Denver, I don't have too many options. With el camarones loco having over 90 dishes on their menu I will continue to come back. Love this hole in the wall.

This is one of my more favorite restaurants of the Denver Metro area! El Cameron Loco is actually a small local chain and many people might not know this, but they have locations on Havana Street in Aurora, another in Commerce City and one more in Brighton. I've eaten at the Brighton place a few times, all very good experiences, but the Federal Blvd. location is my spot. Nothing fancy, that's for sure. Counter service and some counter seating up front and a few bench table in the back. Here's what you need to know in advance of walking in for the first time... The menu can literally be overwhelming. It is all above the service counter, but I find it is MUCH EASIER to grab one of their paper menus located on the counter, take it to a quiet spot and study it. The menu has EIGHTY seafood items on it! So far I have found if it sounds good to you, get it! I wish I had one of their menus now so I could talk about the items more specifically. #70 I believe is their fillet of sole oven baked in foil with ham, shrimp, octopus and cheese served with a green sauce. Wow! They serve a traditional Huachinango which is a deep fried whole red snapper, another of my favorites. All the shrimp dishes I have tried there are great! Both the bacon wrapped and coconut shrimp are hard to beat! They have some great selections in either green or white sauces. They have a shrimp in 3 styles that is a good choice if you want shrimp. They have this dish, #30 I think, that is chopped up pieces of shrimp, scallops, octopus, ham and bacon and sautéed with cheese. Served with tortillas, it is almost decadent and it is a huge portion! They are quite liberal with all their portions it seems. Though I have not tried either their ceviche or cocktail de cameron, I can tell you they are both popular there! They also have homemade flan available for dessert, but I am so stuffed by the time I am done with my meal, there is no room for dessert. There are some reviewers panning this chain for their prices. I disagree with them! This is good fresh, well prepared seafood and that don't come cheap in Denver, but they have fair prices in my opinion. This is really a unique restaurant for Denver and I bring many out of towners here and they all love it!

Put in a phone order & picked up my stuffed shrimp after work one day & they did not disappoint! The shrimp are huge & are stuffed with cheese & ham & then wrapped in bacon! So many flavors! The rice was also really yummy & the guacamole was so fresh. Can't wait to try a different plate.

I really wanted to like this place, driven by it several times finally stopped in.... took forever to get my food and when I did I was surprised that this place found a way to screw up nachos, I mean it's nachos how can you mess that up???

We weren't sure what to expect when we came in here. We were looking for a nice Mexican seafood restaurant. The seafood taste less than average and the service as well.

Absolutely best shrimp burrito. "Esmothered". Place is jamming. Authentic. Get it to go. Space is limited.

Horrible restaurant. I ordered on Uber Eats, they did not send several items. I understand that mistakes happen so I just requested they refund the items I did not get. The extremely rude person who answered the phone said I was lying. When I asked if she would like to come to my hotel room to verify she hung up on me. The food was cold and very poor quality. There is plenty of great Mexican food in Denver. Find somewhere else.

I really enjoy seafood and this is my place! I had the 7 seas soup and it could be shar d with two people, it has all the sea foo that you can expect and fresh crab legs! Their fried tilapia is the best Their ceviche is so fresh and cold you can't have enough of it I have been there several,times and the food quality is just yummy !

This is for their stall on the 16th st mall! The food is good and try the xango it's delicious! The owner was really nice and the employees are friendly! You should it there it's good! Nice people and nice food!

Great fresh seafood. I like Wahoo fish tacos. I love the crazy shrimp's fish tacos. Try a shrimp cocktail or the filete and make sure to wash it down with an horchata. Not for the uninitiated in street food dining. They used to (and still do) have a "roach coach" parked on federal before they moved into this little building with a few tables in back and a narrow counter with a few bar stools by the front counter. More mexicanos than chicanos frequent this place so if Chipotle is as mexican as you eat then don't go here. De nalgas.

Hit one of the hundreds of post shops in the area then grab some Shrimp Ceviche! I am usually the only Caucasian in the place, which is a good sign. It is funny people complain about the prices, IT IS SEAFOOD. SEAFOOD COSTS MONEY IN COLORADO. Their shrimp might be the best in town. If you like mariscos, you will love this place.

Amazing Ceviche! Served with tasty tostada and avocado. Just recently tried bacon wrapped shrimp entree. Unbelievably good. Others commented on it being expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for..........EXCELLENCE!

The Crazy Shrimp is a must if you want fast fresh seafood. The filete is simple, but amazing in that crispy freshly fried fish taste that is hard to rival. The shrimp cocktails are pretty good also, if you can eat a pound of shrimp and gazpacho in one sitting. Unless you are a shrimp fanatic, you might want to split this with someone else or order another thing because they really champion the never-ending shrimp goblet.

My son told me about this place. He told me a week ago and ever since then, I've wanted to try it. Last night (Friday), I tried it. Wow! I even got the food to go. This place is the ****! They sank a ton of money into the whole concept. The food is fantastic! As far as I can tell, everything is seafood. The food is fresh and well prepared.My only complaint is that the menu is hard to read. Oh what the heck, pick anything off the menu(which I did), and you'll be happy. They don't have beans or guac but there rice is really good and I'm not a much of a rice eater. Try it, you won't be sorry.

Awesome food recommend it! Very good tacos and love the taste very awesome sea food it was delicious recommend it to family members

Amazing food. My husband and I live up north so it's a trek for is to go here, but when we do, the food is always great. One of the girls recognizes us when we come in and she's always super friendly. She has great recommendations when we want to try something new. I always get #80, it's seafood and cheese bake. Delicious!

Over priced and very disappointing fish tacos. Like eating chopped up fish sticks. Bleh.

Really good food, ambience is pretty basic, nothing fancy but the staff was helpful, friendly and again, the food so so delicious! Coctel de Camaron & Shrimp w Zucchini & onions smothered w cheese.

Perhaps the seafood here is what to get, because the other dishes aren't anything special and a bit over priced. I prefer El Zarpe down the street, or Los Carbonsitos.

The food is delicious! I love their Botana. Every time I go there they have my order ready very quick and are extremely helpful and kind. I would recomend this to all my friends for an authentic mexican takeaway.

People keep saying it's expensive, but you get a lot of food for the price and it's delicious fresh seafood. The ceviche is absolutely amazing. We love going there at work. I absolutely recommend it!

Worst place I've ever eaten! Their Octopus gave me food poisoning! I wish I would have looked this place up on the halth dept website prior to dining there. This was their review from November 2015: *NOTE: Multiple potentially hazardous foods in the cold top/low boy unit in the cashier area measured 43°F including ranch dressing (43°F), cut tomatoes (43°F), ceviche (43°F), cooked shrimp (43°F), and octopus (43°F).

really good, fresh fish and BIG portions. just slightly on the pricey side but i think it's worth it. the fried fish dishes are excellent and huge!

Delicious Mexican food with a big focus on seafood. There are many different plates that you can order and almost all of them have the range of meats available such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, steak, chicken, and pork. This place is Spanish friendly, the menus are all in spanish with some english short hand description similar to how Chinese menus usually are. It seems family oriented/owned and it is a small building, but decent enough to sit in with a couple of friends. Their service is fast and I have yet to try anything that I didn't like. So far I've had a smothered burrito, oysters with shrimp and mushroom sauce, chicken sopas, steak chimichanga, and steak tacos. When you dine in they have 6 or 7 different hot sauces available on the table which is great. I plan to come back whenever my Mexican food cravings strike again. Prices range from $9- $25 so you won't find a $5 burrito here, (except maybe off the kids menu?) but their portions are huge, and well worth it. This was my first visit to this location, but I have enjoyed their Brighton location once before.

I don't know how many times I've driven by this place before deciding to try it out, but now I'm a return customer. They have tasty, fresh, high quality food - not too greasy. The interior is bright and clean and has some very fun décor. The ladies working here are all over their job. I haven't had opportunity enough to sample the extremely large menu to give this 5 stars, but from my experiences so far I highly recommend a visit.
