El Cangrejo is a hidden gem for seafood lovers! 🦐 I stopped by for lunch and was blown away by the Veracruz-style shrimp - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The vibrant atmosphere was enhanced by live music, making it a fun spot to unwind.
Our server, Rossy, was incredibly kind and even helped us navigate the menu, which has English translations (thankfully!). I also tried the whole red snapper, fried to a delightful crisp for just $26 - such a steal!
The casual vibe makes it perfect for families or solo diners alike. Can’t wait to go back! 🎉
