La Cruda Mariscos

This is one of the best mariscos restaurants in riverside. i eat here about every other week with my dad and it is always so fresh. they also have amazing drinks

Erika is the best server, she made our time here visiting such a blast. Her drinks are made with love and it’s wonderful to know she enjoys working here and making the guest feel welcomed. Thank you Erika!

The mist outstanding crudo I have ever had. Straight delicious! Service was very friendly and made it comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend!

Went with my husband to have some ceviche cocido today. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the place seemed lively and welcoming. We didn’t expect the ceviche to be so great!!! It definitely was one of the top ceviches we have had. The girls were very attentive and would check in and ask if we needed anything. Service was great. I was so impressed that I even took one of their catering menu’s for future reference. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good marisco spot!

Best spot hands down😮‍💨🤤came in hung over & left feeling brand new & ready to start day drinking again🫡😎la campachana & oyster shots hit the spot, thank you & you definitely made our day, we will be coming back soon

Food was great always is but the service sucks those girls need to work on serving the customer instead of talking and flirting. A couple of times I had to get their attention and only once the server came to ask how was everything. I had asked her for containers for my food she took a while. The girl in the bar also was busy talking I couldn’t get her attention I tried paying up in the front but of course you got a guy flirting and talking to her. I finally got the other servers attention. But other than that food is always amazing.

⸻ Had such a great experience at La Cruda Mariscos! Erika was so nice, patient, and super helpful. She took the time to explain the menu and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Her vibe was so cool and welcoming—it really made our visit even better. Definitely coming back again!

Erika is an amazing sever! Food was so good too. Definitely recommend!!!

Food: El Tri was really good, I decided to have them add pulpo to the mix. I didn't have to add any chili or lime they combination was really really good. La JAIBA was also really tasty and lemony I would highly recommend. The only one I didn't care for was the sushimi, maybe it's just not for me I didn't realize it was tuna. I thought it was salmon sushimi but that's my fault. I didn't really like the sweet sauce they put on top of it. Tasted like chamoy and fish. Not a fan but I could see why other would like it. Service: I can't complain about the service the lady that helped us was really nice and helpful. I had everything I needed. Thanks Ambiance: I like the place it's really bright inside the have tvs for the games that you can see from any seat. Clean bathroom and feels really comfortable. I will be back.

Wow! Everything was so delicious and great portions! The costumer service was amazing, very attentive although they were busy the attention given was friendly and helpful! Location was cleaned and smell so delicious!Tables floor, platting and staff very clean and presenta

Great place! The service was amazing. The young ladies were attentive and helpful. It wasn't very busy when we were there but they kept busy. Keeping the place clean and tidy. Hard working women. The food was great. Really generous portions. Great flavor. We had the Agua de limo y pepino. Super yummy. We'll definitely be back when in the area.

One of my clients ordered this to be delivered to my salon for us at least twice, and both times I just could not stop thinking about it. So today I just had to have it....still not disappointed. I cant get a diet coke here, but I don't even care. The ceviche with jaiva and cooked shrimp is so freaking good, and it's plenty for more than one meal. will 100% be back it's well worth it.

Great service! Super clean and relaxing, had lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and the food was delicious.

For years we have frequented the Mexican bakery, Yvettes, next door, but this divey little place completely slipped under our radar. We finally came, thanks to a recommendation from an acquaintance. First of all, the menu is quite limited. You will only find seafood here, shrimp, fish, oysters, scallops, octopus. It specializes in variations of ceviches, cocktails, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and lots of cerveza. It is obviously a hangout for locals who had gathered at the large bar counter this particular day. But they also have seating at tables and booths for the non-barstool types among us. Loud mariachi music blared from the speakers overhead, and a small set of shelves was stocked with nibblers to buy and t-shirts donning their adorable logo, a cartoon of a very soused red shrimp holding a green bottle of cerveza in hand. It's a happy, friendly place. We came because we were craving shrimp cocktails. They offered two sizes, 20 oz and 32 oz.. and Mr B decided to order one of each size. That's a helluva lot of shrimp, but he didn't think so. Out came two cocktail glasses filled to the brim with medium sized shrimp. I loved the big chunks of avocado and all of the chopped celery, tomato, onion, cilantro, all thrown together in lime juice and a touch of catsup. Very juicy! My only complaint was the shrimp were not deveined, and most likely farmed shrimp, but overall, the shrimp cocktails were delicious. It was without a doubt way too much to eat, even the smaller size. So home it came for another two, very filling servings. A price point that is hard to beat and pretty darn great for a low-carb meal or two.

Been hearing good things about this place. We got there at 10:00a.m. , right when they opened. We were immediately greeted and ordered our food and drinks. Everything looked good, looked fresh and was good , up until I got to the long hair in my ceviche. The waitress was understanding and asked if we wanted 1/2 an order to go. We said yes. When we got home, it was mainly all veggies and no shrimp. Wasn't happy about that, I should've requested a refund instead.

Service is always sweet, attentive and fun. Ceviche is sure to be fresh, tasty and freakin hot (and by hot i mean spicy), you can always count on a nice cold beer to make it better even though it never does!. Micheladas hit the spot especially on a Friday. Always clean and it never smells like low tide like other restaurants!

Great place very clean and fresh dishes. Food portions are huge great for my appetite. Wonderful service.

Still consistent, still fresh, and still great quality Decided to dine in recently and the service was great, still pretty bright inside but very clean! If you don't want too spicy there are some good options like Mixta, El Tri, and Callo de Hacha. They provide a great selection of condiments and their salsa is really good. They also have a pretty good tequila and beer selection.

Fresh seafood and a cute little place to grab a beer and some mariscos . The service was very fast even tho all the tables were full

Was craving mariscos & stumbled across this location. We had seen the food truck near Van Buren & it's always packed but we weren't sure if they were the same business. Turns out it is! Inside it's small it's near the 91 fwy! The service is good all the waitresses were really nice. The cocteles were so good! I got Camaron & Pulpo & my partner got Shrimp. We both got large & it was big! We were both impressed & tbh the price for the size & quality was worth it! The caldo was really good too! Definitely have returned since my first visit! Will return to try other items.

Michelle was awesome and very attentive! My wife and I come here all the time and Michelle is always willing to help and always has a smile on her face! Her service is always the best.

We've been coming to La Cruda for a few years now. It's our go to for mariscos and michelada happy hour. We usually get the El Tri and Agua Chile - the best! Erica provides great customer service! See you next time!

The food was definitely worth it, very flavorful and fresh. Parking is difficult, the parking spots are only for 20 minutes, there is parking on the side but they are usually busy, we were lucky enough to find a parking spot. This place gives me the Culichi town restaurant vibe but in a smaller version. Our waitress was okay, she was nice enough but I wasn't impressed. One thing I find super strange is the restaurant not offering free water for the customers, the only water they offer is Aguas Frescas. If you want natural water they don't offer that, I am not sure how to take that? They probably do this so the customers feel obligated to purchase a drink. Also, they have a free taco if you check in, well I couldn't redeem my free taco because the waitress said they only have cold food there. I understand she can't do nothing about that, however is not professional. Everyone is different, this is just my experience and opinion.

Service was great. Food is simple but good taste. I came this place cause I was craving for fish tacos but they don't have any. Music just ok

First time at this restaurant I ordered 2 different ceviche,Very delicious ceviche and the mixto botana little spicy but we don't care if is that good I definitely recommend this place, and Michelle the cashier very friendly she also help us to decide what to order thank you so much for your attention.

First Impression: Looks clean, Friendly staff, got busy quick Location: Corner of the plaza. Limited parking available. Food: Mediocre. Lacked in flavor and tasted bland. Expensive. Are my major take aways from our dining experience. Their marketing is on point that's how i found this location, but unfortunately their food isn't. Note: Go during Happy Hour if you want to give them a try.

This is what My second time there. I came back because I really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail not this time, I had to add a lot of tapatio and ketchup and salt. I had some oysters and I had very bad diarrhea! I won't go back, service was awesome.

Ordered 2 ceviche plates. The restaurant was busy but got my food rather quickly. Package nicely so no issues driving them home. The ceviche was good. Very spicy! This is a major positive for me and my wife. A++

BEST ceviche in the area! I always see this place driving on the 91 and it is definitely a hidden gem. So glad I finally tried it! I ordered "El Crudo" and it did not disappoint. They had two sizes- I got the smaller one and it was perfect for me. My dad got the larger size and he had some leftover. I would recommend the large size if you're sharing with another person. The restaurant is also very clean and the waitresses were all friendly. I will definitely be back to try other ceviche plates and to try their drinks!

Ceviche de Camaros cosido fresh Nicely chopped Well seasoned Not over cooked I got this for my mom she is older and she loved it. She is super picky

Bomb!!! Best places to go for simple classic ceviche place in Riverside. Great service and excellent people that welcome you take good care of you and great drink selection

Very disappointed. I was in the IE and looking forward to trying this place before heading back to the OC. We waited 10 minutes to be seated (which don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed about this part) on a pretty empty restaurant. It was 11:30am on Sunday 11/23/25. Once seated, we waited for almost 30 minutes and no one came around to even acknowledge the fact we were there. We finally got up and walked out, still not acknowledged. I even felt worse for the people that came in before us, also just waiting there to be served. The 2 girls working there look like chickens with their heads cut off. If you ever want to be and feel ignored, this is the place to go to.

If I can give a no star review I would they made my plate with so much onion and I wanted to tell the waitress and no was around or came around to ask if everything was okay and never did or was around and I told the waitress once she was around they still charged me for the plate which was stupid I will never come back

Went with my husband to have some ceviche cocido today. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the place seemed lively and welcoming. We didn't expect the ceviche to be so great!!! It definitely was one of the top ceviches we have had. The girls were very attentive and would check in and ask if we needed anything. Service was great. I was so impressed that I even took one of their catering menu's for future reference. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good marisco spot!

Ordered a full plate and it only made 2 tostadas just get half plate its full of veggies anyways

This spot never disappoints! My favorite is the Tri tostada chunky tuna pieces and shrimp marinated in lemon! Fire!!! It's a game changer and nobody does it like the cruda.

Well, I was disappointed that pictures on yelp looked good and then of course they don't have those items and it wasn't their fault, but maybe they kept up with their yelp page they could ask for those pictures to be taken down I really wanted tacos! lol We both ordered from what they had and enjoyed what we ate. The food is good. The service was OK and I can't say much about the ambience. There's nothing special on the inside. The part that really stuck with me was somehow two people got the small versions of their dinners I Ordered water and an oyster shooter so that added $10 my husband got a Michelada and somehow we spent like $70 so yeah the food wasn't worth it. Shrimp is $8.99 a pound at the store. Cucumbers are nearly free. And you're not even cooking anything. So basically, if you have the money to spend enjoy eating here, but this wouldn't be a place that we would come to on a weekly basis to enjoy And yet it's not nice enough to be a place that I would think of for a special occasion either so your prices are too high in my opinion When I ask for water, I actually don't pay for a bottle. I had a bottle of water in the car. I didn't pay three dollars for it.

La Cruda Mariscos is a small venue located in a strip mall next to couple of businesses. We were immediately acknowledged, and were seated at the bar. Later on, we got a table and couple of yummy micheladas. What did we order? A shrimp cocktail and a campechana cocktail, both super fresh and delicious. The campechana is a seafood mix, not everyone likes it, the shrimpcocktailis more everyone's cup of tea. Service could be better, but I went over there a Saturday afternoon, so I take that into consideration. Recomendado para pasar la Cruda!!!

the aguachile has decent flavor, not spicy enough but way too salty imo also the server we had was not great and not attentive and when she would come, it was like she hated life and we paid cash and they didn't have coins and our change was like almost $1 so instead of just giving us a dollar instead of like 90 cents she just didn't give us anything nor apologized so that was just weird idk

Great ceviches, oysters, and really good staff. Super family friendly place with plenty of free parking. 10/10 would recommend.

Just ordered for the first time, and I gotta say it's pretty dang good! My pet peeve is getting old ingredients in the ceviche! This order had crispy cucumbers onions and cilantro was very fresh. The shrimp as the main ingredient must be good quality and fresh to be consumed raw and this shrimp was fresh clean and good quality! Good job to the owner and staff don't change the quality unless for the better

Food is amazing we got the cerviverde , and el cocido. Customer service was great everyone was very attentive ! Music was great. Pronto regresaré con mi familia otra vez !

Came here from Long Beach to try La cruda mariscos and by far the best mariscos place I've ever tried. The micheladas are 10/10 best miches definitely recommend, will be back !

Super fresh seafood! I order the cevi verde and it does not disappoint. Whip up a mean tostada with a little mayo on the base, then layer on the cevi verde and top it off with hot sauce and/or salsa negra and a dash of salt. Yummm - I crave it all the time. Tip: It's bomb with the salsa negra, but don't say I didn't tell you it is DEF VERY SPICY! As far as service goes, I have only ordered take out in the past and this time we decided to dine in. The service was ok...kind of slow for a Thursday afternoon - could be improved.

My aunt took me here for the first time and it was soo good! Everything was so fresh and the service was amazing! Definitely will be going back!!

Buena comida y buena gente tambien. Deje mi Carter's con dinero y no me falto ni un peso. 100/100 pal restaurante

Food was very delicious great service they even had the dodger game on which was a plus I will definitely be going back !

My boyfriend and I come here all the time. Everything always tastes so good! This is for sure one of the best mariscos in the inland empire!!

1st time here. Amazing food and service! Ordered the red aguachiles and El Tri ceviche and it was excellent! Spicy and limey, just the right balance. Excellent service! The chelada beers were the finishing touch! Definitely will be back!

Esta mas omenos nada special comida ordinaria y y aburrida el servicio esta bien y muy limpio que es un plus.. precios altos para mi gusto les falta mas sazon y sus porciones pequeñas !!!

Great service and amazing flavors! The place is very nice and clean, great ambiance. I definetly recomend them!

Great food, service and they have a full bar now! Live music pops in, can't wait to see what they do next! 11/10!

This place is excellent!!! Vey clean and good service!!! My shrimp cocktail was so delicious I did not add any condiments or spices at all!!! Riquisimo!!!

Listen if you are in the mood for Maricos you will not find better! From the second we are arrived and met the wonder waitress Jocelyn it was the vibe! She explained everything so good the anticipation was half the fun. But when my Michelada came all I can say is WOW the flavor of the mix was chart topping! We ordered the El Cocido and it was so good fresh and just everything we hoped for. Whoever owns this place has the perfect mix of food staff and music!! 10/10 for this place

5 stars this place is the best Yahaira is the best she tread us like home no doubt in coming back I will come back No, doubt I'm from Camarillo I will come back just for this great food

Service is prompt and helpful. Aguachile with raw shrimp was delicious. This is the type of place for raw apps and alcohol!

First time at La Cruda food was delicious will definitely be going back. Great customer service
