Delicious ceviche made from raw shrimp as opposed to pre-cooked that you sometimes get in other mariscos restaurants. Ostiones rellenos was fresh and amazing! I only had those two items but it was plenty. Took leftover ceviche home and ate it for breakfast the next morning. Yum! They're very generous with limes, their salsa is fantastic and they have a nice selection of hot sauces on the table. Place is clean, everyone spoke English (adding that 'cuz of a previous comment). Will definitely go back!!!!
How'd I never find this this place before!? -

A few days ago I was hungry but didn't know what I wanted so I started driving around looking for inspiration and I saw this parking lot that was packed so I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. I am sure glad I did this place is like being transported a few hundred miles south and into Mexico. The first thing that struck me as being like Mexico is the band playing at volumes much higher than most Americans are accustomed to but like every place I've ever been in Mexico. The second thing that made me feel like I was in Mexico is the base that one of the bandmembers was playing was clearly crafted from plywood and homemade. It was so wonderful to see the creativity I've always seen this in Mexico and admire people's ability to adapt.
The clientele all appeared to be Mexicans which for me is a good sign if I am wanting Mexican food. Unfortunately my Spanish is pretty poor and my waitresses English was equally as poor but we managed to work it out and I got some wonderful tacos and a tostada de ceviche that was wonderful. I will definitely be back. the only word of caution I would have would be if you're wanting to have a lot of dinner conversation this might not be the best choice because of the volume of the band playing in the background was so loud I could hardly order much less carry on a dinner conversation. But if you're wanting to feel like you're in Mexico and have a really good meal this is the place to go -

Bienvenido a México!
El Zarandeado is a great Mexican Seafood restaurant in the South Valley of Albuquerque. You MUST try the Seafood Molcajete, loaded with tilapia, camarones, and pulpo. Superb.
And be sure to have a horchata. -

Last year I was in town I had the best jalapeño poppers filled with tuna and rapped with bacon so I had to come eat again. this place has authentic Mexican food and really amazing flavors, I love the costumer service, they also sell Mexican candies and drinks ! I love this place !

This place offers the best Sinaloa-style seafood in town. I recommend starting with a dozen of raw oysters or with a queso fundido first. Los Aguachiles are their signature dish consisting of raw fish, shrimp, and octopus cooked in lime in a very spicy sauce, I recommend the molcajete (more bang for your buck). This is synonymous with menudo as a cure for a hangover and probably healthier. On Sundays, El Compa Dimas will be there singing some corridos to complement your afternoon. Salucita!
