The worst restaurant ever ... terrible service order food to go ... order octopus was salty very little pieces. Order piña rellena also terrible... ask for salads on side and nothing. I called to compalim about the size and Lady said that thise ARE the portions, order tacos they also were terrible very greasy... I had to thiw away the octopus ... it was not eatable salty like crazy. I called again to let them know I believe the owner answer... he was very rude and raise his voice on me.. I work in the restaurant business and never had an experience like this in my life... drove 40 min to get there ... total disaster. Food is just so bad... they should shut down that place. Horrible place ...

I give them one star but in reality zero, no star at all!!! 0 stars nada.Definitely not family restaurant. The girls that work there seem they are selling themselves. The food on the pictures look good, but no definitely don't waste your time going there. The service terrible, not polite nor friendly. Atmosphere, just negative.

Staff is cool. Food is good. But the owner is an a hole!! They had not even closed and he was forcing us to put our beer in a cup and leave!!! Grouchy old man needs to retire!

The drive was a waste of time. We arrived about 5 pm. One other person was in the restaurant. We did not get our food until 6 pm. My food was room temperature. The appetizer came to the table 10 minutes after the meal. Plus we ordered our food 15 minutes afterwards. The Positive- Music, Dance floor, Clean bathroom, Waitresses was so NICE. I will not be back.

I'm not sure why their ratings are so low. My partner and I had such a great experience. They were really friendly, and I appreciate them checking on us frequently and making an effort even though their English is limited. I was able to practice my Spanish a bit. The drinks here are served in a goblet. It was pretty steady traffic for them for a Monday night: I had a frozen mango margarita, we ordered a chips and salsa to share, and we each had tacos. My partner did the taco dinner that comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. I ordered two steak tacos and two shrimp tacos. I ended up liking the steak tacos more. Their chips are to die for -- I ended up getting a second order. Their chips are made to order, it's crispy, and salted to perfection. They also whipped up this salsa verde concoction that's citrusy but also spicier than the normal salsa verde. This is something they had tucked away behind the bar area. This place is also huge because they're typically known to be an event venue, but they also open it up to the general public. The other side of the bar has typical arcade games and darts. We had a great time, I'd definitely come back again, and I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for Mexican cuisine.

I ordered some tacos and a mango margarita. Tacos were bland and tough. The margarita was fire . would have liked for this place to have been my new go-to taco joint, since I just moved up the street. But I had to look elsewhere. However, I might stop in for another drink Sometime. Waitress was nice. They had old school Spanish rock playing, which I enjoyed. food: 0/10 Alcoholic drink: 10/10 ambiance: 6/10 service: 10/10

Well the name says it all...right... ?? La Diabla "The Devil" Wait time? An hour plus. Was the food what you expected? Not even close. How did it taste? Ended in the trash. Positives? The containers were properly wrapped in the plastic bag. Good luck to the establishment. At least I know not to ever eat/order from it , already lucky by knowing that!

Under new management! Wow, I am shocked after reading the reviews. First of all this place is Open late!!!!! Our food was Fresh food and delicious drinks! My husband and I were hungry and looking for something good! Boom! We happen to run into this place, late night DJ playing some decent Mexican music! This establishment is nothing fancy but wow was I surprised on the service and FOOD!!!!! Our waitress was very kind, and speedy with us! I love me some langustinos and these bad boys had some fire and that is that I did not get the HOT once! But they were perfectly delicious! My husband enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, said he did not have to add a thing to it! The michelada was amazing!!! We had empanadas and they were stuffed!!! We usually have to jazz up the food this place was all good. Again NOTHING FANCY but worth the stop! Financially YOU CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT expect to spend less then 30-40 bucks a person for some quality Mexican sea food and a drink! So our bill was $100 and we have no regrets!

Absolutely the worst food experience of my life! My boyfriend and I ordered through uber eats. I ordered the langostinos plate. My shrimps were DRENCHED in grease as were the fries, I mean a PUDDLE of grease. On top of that there was hardly any meat in the shrimp and what little bit there was only tasted of pure salt. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada plate. His steak was burnt and tasteless. They didn't send the salad with his meal and the beans were super watery. They gave us white rice instead of traditional Mexican rice. My boyfriend ordered horchata that was totally watered down. I ordered flan that looked and tasted like crap. The only thing that was pleasant about this order was my can of diet coke! We had to throw the food away! What a waste of $69!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!

Shrimp cocktail is good! The payeya is decent asl! Everything is off the chain really. The shrimp zarandedos are a lil overpriced but still top tier and the ceviche is second to none.

This place is horrible! I went in with a couple of friends last week, the service so bad. The food was over priced. And!! They include tip in the bill. Instead of having us give what we think they deserve. Aside from that the food was horrible and the drinks were over priced as Well. The Facebook page never replied to any of the messages I sent them asking if there was an age limit to get in when they had live music. Never going back there again! Only getting a star because I HAVE TO.

Ordered food over uber eats due to wanting to try a New Mexican restaurant. Severely disappointed in flavor profile and foul smell from langoustines! The nachos were stale and the sauce used on seafood +Fries wasn't pleasant! Will stuck to my usual alternate which is another place. Please improve your flavor profile.

I literally created a yelp account just to share the WORSE, and I mean WORSE experience I have ever experienced in the restaurant business. I hope anyone who reads this actually takes my advice and stays as far away from this place! What I am about to write is based on the lack of service, and wait time I had to endure. The only reason why my girlfriend and I came here was that we had a Groupon; otherwise, we wouldn't have come at all. I wouldn't have given this place a second look. Oh, and I definitely didn't want to give it a star but Yelp is requiring me to do so. Our first mistake was staying after we walked in and saw that we were LITERALLY the only customers. That should have been a red flag, however, we ignored it because like I said, we had purchased the Groupon and needed to get rid of it. Ok, not a deal breaker. Maybe it was a slow day...who knows. After all, the real money depends on the taste and quality of the food. If the food is great then who cares if you're the only ones, right? That was my mentally walking in and fuck did that mentality go out the window real quick! Our waitress was horrible! Not to sound harsh but she needs to do something else with her life because she does not have any people's skills. So she just sat us down and left. Didn't come back for a good 10 minutes. When she decided to finally come back she only took our drink orders and left right away without asking us if we were ready to order, which we were because we were starving. I ordered a glass of water and my girlfriend got a pina colada. First of all, they gave me a Kroger's water bottle! Kroger's!! The ones you buy from Sam's club that come 40 in a case for $3! Shit, I mean, if you're going to give bottles of water at least give me Ice Mountain, Nestle, Dasani, anything but Krogers!! Oh, and did I mention that the bottle of waters were almost $2 a unit? Yea, ridiculous. And the pina colada that my girlfriend got had no liquor what so ever and the glass only held about 8oz or less, and that's over exaggerating. That pina colada was about $10. Definitely not worth the money. After she brings our drinks we place our food order, and since we were really hungry we ordered appetizers. Now, what do appetizers mean? It means that its food that comes out quicker before your actual order. Apparently, they don't know the meaning the work "appetizers" because our appetizers came after we got our main food. OH AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE WAITED 40 MINUTES, YES 40 MINUTES FOR OUR FREAKING FOOD! That is absolutely unacceptable! Fuck, forty minutes hahaha I still cannot process that. Did they not have the necessary ingredients to make our dish? Did they have to go to the store and buy the product while we sat there and waited? I mean, how can they possibly justify that wait time? How are they even in business still? Well one thing for certain, I can tell why it was empty when we got there. Then we get our food and it was disgusting! The rice was dry, the fries were a bit soggy, let lettuce was kind of old, and the shrimp was horrible! At this point, I just wanted to pay and leave. Oh but it just gets good my readers. We waited thirty fucking five minutes to check out!!!! I mean, seriously! After she gave us our food she never came back. She was nowhere to be found. And when we would see her in the room she would purposely not look at our direction so she won't attend us. Horrible service! The worse service I have ever seen. When she did come she was being a bitch and giving us attitude. The service that I thought I was paying for was not there; the food that I expected to receive was garbage instead; the wait time to get our food and to try to pay was unacceptable. And to end it on a high note ... they had a freaking DJ with karaoke?!?!?!?! WTF!?!?!?! I was beyond mind fucked at this point. So again, please avoid this place and spent your money somewhere else!!!!

Be careful!!! We came to visit this restaurant because of their drinks. To our surprise, they were over charging us by 25.00. They claimed that it was because they had an open tab which we didn't. Please be careful and check your receipt before leaving.

Literally the worst place to eat at. The security company i worked for got hired by the owner. 1st the owner had no clients when i first worked there. I worked from 9pm-2am no people came to eat everyone came for the kareoke (kareokee every night) and to drink. So finaly i seen people come in and eat on the way out 2 out of 3 people would complain about the price and how dry and old the seafood tasted. He would treat his customers like crap, if they would complain about anything he would literally start giving them attitude, raising his voice ect. So people go for kareoke they would like to get drunk and sing and all that . When they were pretty drunk they would get rounds of patron, i seen him pouring halfshot of tequila and the rest water. And it was shot after shotbafter shot after shot, the customers were already all types of drunk. I just dont think how thats fair. Only employees working for him is his daughter and his wife that hes yelling at her and being a prick to her for most of the time i was there. Let me explain the reason why he has no employees. He treats the waitresses like crap, he likes to argue with everyone. I worked there as a certified security officer. He would tell me to throw away the trash (at 1st i would) i thought to mhself maybe he will give me some food later on or something to drink. But that wasnt the case. If i order food i had to pay ahead of time.. I was like okay???? One day he told me to throw the trash out and i did. I guess i threw it in the wrong garbage container (he would just tell me to throw the gardage in the containers but he didnt tell me he had a oil container) btw it already had a lot of garbage in there. So on m y process on throwinf the gatbage my bulletproof vest got stained by grease, he comes bavk and tells me that i have to dig inside the container amd get all the trash i threw in there. I told him "no sir i already got dirty for trying to throw the trash out plus is notnmy job." He starts yelling at me telling me that im going to do what he tells me to do because i work for him & hes like someone puked in the bathroom go clean it up. I just walked away called my boss and told him the situation. He said it was fine it wasnt my job. I wouldnt mind him helping him throw the trash away but hes so stingy... He wouldnt ask, he would demand it! he would charge me for every snack or meal i ate there. Just warning you people hes really unprofesional with his clients and employees treats people like crap.

This is the worst seafood place I have ever visited on top of the long wait to get food they serve cold food. The restaurant was dead maybe about 3 or 4 families so I would have understood if they were busy but they were dead. I have never walked out of a establishment for the food that is being served but today I walked out of this establishment today. Stay away.

They have a bad customer service. We waited around 1 hour for our food and we weren't even asked if everything is okay. I don't recommend this place. No wonder this place has 3 star. They didn't even have a lot of people here.

This was a great spot! I had never eaten here before and I admit I came because the other Mexican seafood place I wanted to go to (El Veneno) was packed, but in the end, I think this place had wayyyy better shrimp then El Veneno! We got the huachinango and the shrimp al la parrilla and man I want to swim in a sea with those shrimp. They were amazing!!!! Very big and cut butterfly style. My favorite thing we ordered was them. My huachinango was very good too, just a bit small. Over all though we really enjoyed the food and had no major complaints because while my huachinango may have been small, I ordered it with mariscos on top and it has soooo much shrimp and octopus, so I def had a lot to eat. What I want to say the most though, is that the service was AMAZING AND THE BEST PART. Our server was awesome and so attentive and literally the nicest person ever, I'm coming back here purely because of her. Highly recommend this spot to the people that love mariscos and hate waiting for a table at El Veneno.

This is by far the worst experience I've ever had. First of all the waitress was extremely lazy , and she messed up my sister's drink and my husband and brother in law order as well. She came to our table like three times to ask what was our order again but yet still got it wrong . The food was absolutely disgusting and over priced . I'M so sorry to say this but the cook needs to go take some culinary classes. Everything was either to underseasoned, overseasoned, or just wasn't fresh at all. And the tip was included as if the place or the waitress deserves it . The only thing we enjoyed was the dj and kareoke. I hope he gets a cut out of our tip. Worst place ever ! The one star rating is for the dj. Sorry not sorry !
