The never frozen crab claws had something happen to them, my guess would be that they had been frozen. We had them for appetizers and they were aweful. I had the spicy crab soup which was inedible. I had the house specialty ensalada crab house. I don't believe there was any dressing on it. i didn't know lettuce could taste bad but it did and the slimy soft veges didn't add anything. I picked out what few pieces of crab that were in there and they were okay. Very disappointing. We didn't stick around for dessert. Some people in my group seemed okay with their meals but i didn't hear a lot of rave reviews. Expensive too. And also some guy trying to sell us our picture on a beer bottle was a bit distracting.

Ate here while in cancun and can't say i was impressed. i got the surf and turf which was okay but nothing special. There wasnt anything wrong with the food but with so many other better restaurants in cancun i won't go back to this one. It's also just as expensive, if not more so, than better places

Stayed at a gorgeous all inclusive resort in Riviera Maya with awful food so decided to go out and pay extra for dinner. So happy we decided to do that. We ended up having a wonderful dinner at The Crab House. This has been one of the most memorable parts of our vacation. Everything was great here from the terrific waiter to the absolutely delicious dinner. Great martini, great appetizers, we had shrimp cocktail and caesar salad, and 2 outstanding entrees. The seafood in red sauce and the amazing paella. Dessert & coffee topped off a great dinner in a beautiful outdoor setting. Was worth the extra money of leaving our all inclusive and paying for a $40 cab ride each way.
