Terrific food, inventive recipes, was thrilled that they accommodated me as a walk in. Granted, the extra seats against the wall an be a bit tight, but it worked fine. Really loved each dish. I had the razor clams which were delicious. The mar y terre. The bone marrow. And the steak tartare. I dined solo and could have kept eating but felt satisfied. More because each dish was so delicious, though the portions are definitely small plate. I had 2 margaritas which were delicious as well. I would definitely return.

Went here recently and thought the food was good overall. Portions were what I expected them to be and the flavors were great and cohesive together. We ordered a variety of dishes but the photo here shows my favorite one we ordered! Service was decent but unfortunately we were seated at a side bar area where there was minimal foot room since it is flush against the wall. I think our experience would have been better if we were at the main bar seating instead.

I LOVE Quique Crudo. This was my first time eating here but it will not be my last. Everything from the service to the food was amazing. The seafood was FRESH! Everything has great flavor. The oysters were delicious! Fresh with the right amount of spice. The drinks were delicious and the bartenders knew what they were doing. Quique deserves A Michelin star! Seating is limited so to ensure you get a seat, I'd suggest going as soon as they open. You will not be disappointed!

Food was wow! Will be back to try the lobster ceviche. Favorite meal of 2025 so far. Accommodating with my allergies and friendly staff.

4.5 stars! The food here is delicious. For two people we ordered five savory dishes and two desserts. Loved the octopus tostada, fried oysters, chicken mole and Mar y Tierra (scallop with chorizo). Whatever you do don't skip desserts - both the tres leches cake and cheese ice cream (trust) were A+! Expected to enjoy the scallop aguachile more - it was exceptionally small and the sauce tasted like soy sauce? Keep in mind this place is small and operates solely on a walk-in basis. We came at 7:30 on a Saturday and were quoted a 3 hour wait - ended up being seated within 90 minutes. Also, don't be deceived, though the vibes are of a casual neighborhood spot the meal gets pricey quickly given small portion sizes and expensive ingredients (high quality seafood). While I'm not sure if the service levels - while not bad - matched the price point, I'd definitely say the delicious food is worth it!

Came here because my friend got influenced on tiktok. Stood in line with ~10 people in front of us 30 minutes before the restaurant opened. When we finished there was no line. The mole is exceptional. Dining room is small, cramped and loud. 1. Tostada de pulpo y camarón 2. Aguachile negro de callos de hacha 3. Mar y tierra 4. Bone marrow special 5. Enmoladas

Quique Crudo is one of those meals that I've been dreaming about ever since visiting! The menu features fresh seafood with bright and punchy flavors, and everything we ordered was beyond delicious. Some of our highlights were... Mar y Tierra - If you take anything away from my review, it's the fact that this is a MUST order! The scallop is perfectly cooked and pairs perfectly with the spicy homemade chorizo. It was the perfect dish. Aguachile Negro de Callos de Hacha - The combination of the fresh scallop with the salty umami of the soy sauce and the heat of the chili arbol made the perfect flavor combination! Homemade Cheese Ice Cream - This was PHENOMENAL. The ice cream was so creamy with a subtle cheese flavor. The perfect way to end a meal! Everything at Quique Crudo is incredible, from the service to the ambiance, and I cannot emphasize how amazing this restaurant is!

TLDR: The Mar y Tierra is a must try! Very small and intimate space and a bit crowded for sure because there are only ~15 seats. But the food and incredible presentation more than make up for it. The bar seats are great for watching the chefs prepare everything in front of you. Definitely try one of their many margaritas- super delicious!

Fantastic new walk-in only restaurant by the same owners of Casa Enrique!! Menu features mexican seafood, and all the dishes were beautiful, fresh, and bursting w flavors + texture Must get anything tostadas and aquachile, just pick your seafood of choice :) Everyone was recommending the mar y tierra, but i thought the chipotle aioli sauce overpowered the tender scallop
