El Botanero Mariscos

I had heard good things about the food here, I am really particular about the seafood I eat so I honestly skip eating out when I'm craving. Today was finally the day I decided to get the xl tosti ceviche and a medium cóctel de camarón.
The cóctel had approximately 10 med-large shrimp and a pretty large amount of small cut cucumber, onion , cilantro and tomato. The sauce lacked flavor and was super runny, in my opinion it needed a tad bit more of maybe ketchup to thicken it's consistency. I probably would give the cóctel a 6/10.
The tosticeviche also had the same vegetables which are traditionally used but the ratio felt off, it was like just eating vegetables in lemon juice with an occasional bite of seafood, but the lemon in it was off, it kind of tasted like when a lemon was about to go bad and it has that bitter taste. Overall I would give it 5/10.
I have nothing bad to say about the service, there was honestly not much interaction and my order was quickly made. I would like to say that I would come back but I really doubt it, It spent $34 on what I would say was 12 shirmp and a tiny amount of fish from the ceviche.

Was trying to place an order and the guy who answered (pretty sure it was the owner) told me they don’t take phone orders. Fine. He said to just drive to the location and they’d serve me as long as it was before closing. I trusted that, wasted 15 minutes driving over, only for the cashier to say they couldn’t serve me because they were “about to close” with 25 minutes still left on the clock. So I called the number back several times and now the owner conveniently doesn’t answer the registered number to his own restaurant.

The communication here is terrible. The owner clearly has no control or authority over his staff, and the employees shut things down early, cleaning the kitchen before actual closing time, which basically wipes out most of the menu for paying customers. It’s unprofessional and shows a complete lack of respect for people’s time and money.

This is exactly why small businesses struggle, when you treat customers like an inconvenience instead of a priority. My experience was nothing but frustration, wasted time, and disappointment. If this is how they run their business, I won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else waste their time either.

I've Been here over year here from California (COMPTON) and every place that I've had Ceviche at it taste like a bowl of lemon juice but this young dude is doing his thing The Tostitos were new for me but they do add something to the experience back home I used to get Ceviche every Friday. It used to be my after work treat so next Friday I'll be back for my fix

Ceviche and jaiba are good but taste can be better. Prices are fair but ok if your really craving ceviche or cocktail. Too much hype but not the best for sure. Mariscos Culiacán taste better.

I ordered the shrimp flautas. They did not look how they appear in their pictures. Overpriced for the amount of food you get.
