Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Perhaps the seafood here is what to get, because the other dishes aren't anything special and a bit over priced. I prefer El Zarpe down the street, or Los Carbonsitos.

People keep saying it's expensive, but you get a lot of food for the price and it's delicious fresh seafood. The ceviche is absolutely amazing. We love going there at work. I absolutely recommend it!

I don't know how many times I've driven by this place before deciding to try it out, but now I'm a return customer. They have tasty, fresh, high quality food - not too greasy. The interior is bright and clean and has some very fun décor. The ladies working here are all over their job. I haven't had opportunity enough to sample the extremely large menu to give this 5 stars, but from my experiences so far I highly recommend a visit.

Damn. I really wanted to love the Crazy Shrimp, but my experience was kind of a let-down. First of all, holy expensive!! Judging from the look of the tiny, stuccoed cube with the homegrown murals painted all over its slightly run-down exterior, you wouldn't expect to see prices north of the $12 point on all but a few menu items! At least I didn't. But really, the only thing you can get for less than a ten-spot is a fish taco. ONE fish taco. Or a shrimp taco. ONE shrimp taco. Four dollars apiece. Being as how I hadn't planned on an expense-account meal, these were the two items I opted for. One of each. At $4 per, I was expecting something really, really amazing... ...but no. The fish taco, I hate to say (really, I do!), was worse than what you'd find at Rubio's, a chain. The fish was dried-out and flavorless. The shrimp taco was even worse. Those little crazies were cooked to within an inch of their lives (huh?) and then diced into oblivion so as maybe to mask the fact that they were tough and rubbery. NOT what you'd hope to find at a place with "shrimp" in its moniker! To add insult to injury, after I'd eaten my nearly-$10 meal, I was still hungry. This is not what I've come to expect from my hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints along Federal! For my money, I could've gotten 4 or 5 BETTER tacos at Tacos y Salsas and had leftovers ta' boot. Still, I'll leave The Crazy Shrimp three stars because if you're willing to throw down the cash, the fried whole fish DO look pretty tasty. Just not in this economy (I still blame Bush).

Amazing Ceviche! Served with tasty tostada and avocado. Just recently tried bacon wrapped shrimp entree. Unbelievably good. Others commented on it being expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for..........EXCELLENCE!

Hit one of the hundreds of post shops in the area then grab some Shrimp Ceviche! I am usually the only Caucasian in the place, which is a good sign. It is funny people complain about the prices, IT IS SEAFOOD. SEAFOOD COSTS MONEY IN COLORADO. Their shrimp might be the best in town. If you like mariscos, you will love this place.

This is one of my more favorite restaurants of the Denver Metro area! El Cameron Loco is actually a small local chain and many people might not know this, but they have locations on Havana Street in Aurora, another in Commerce City and one more in Brighton. I've eaten at the Brighton place a few times, all very good experiences, but the Federal Blvd. location is my spot. Nothing fancy, that's for sure. Counter service and some counter seating up front and a few bench table in the back. Here's what you need to know in advance of walking in for the first time... The menu can literally be overwhelming. It is all above the service counter, but I find it is MUCH EASIER to grab one of their paper menus located on the counter, take it to a quiet spot and study it. The menu has EIGHTY seafood items on it! So far I have found if it sounds good to you, get it! I wish I had one of their menus now so I could talk about the items more specifically. #70 I believe is their fillet of sole oven baked in foil with ham, shrimp, octopus and cheese served with a green sauce. Wow! They serve a traditional Huachinango which is a deep fried whole red snapper, another of my favorites. All the shrimp dishes I have tried there are great! Both the bacon wrapped and coconut shrimp are hard to beat! They have some great selections in either green or white sauces. They have a shrimp in 3 styles that is a good choice if you want shrimp. They have this dish, #30 I think, that is chopped up pieces of shrimp, scallops, octopus, ham and bacon and sautéed with cheese. Served with tortillas, it is almost decadent and it is a huge portion! They are quite liberal with all their portions it seems. Though I have not tried either their ceviche or cocktail de cameron, I can tell you they are both popular there! They also have homemade flan available for dessert, but I am so stuffed by the time I am done with my meal, there is no room for dessert. There are some reviewers panning this chain for their prices. I disagree with them! This is good fresh, well prepared seafood and that don't come cheap in Denver, but they have fair prices in my opinion. This is really a unique restaurant for Denver and I bring many out of towners here and they all love it!

Over priced and very disappointing fish tacos. Like eating chopped up fish sticks. Bleh.

Just happened to wander into this place on a Saturday night. Unbelievable! The menu is a bit overwhelming, but it seemed like anything would be a great choice. My wife and I shared the #5 (shrimp sauteed in garlic butter). The 12 or so shrimp were SO amazing -- cooked perfectly and so succulent. It was served with a generous portion of perfectly cooked, tender, steamed rice, along with a small portion of salad. We also shared the #53 (shrimp cocktail). There were around 12 medium-sized boiled shrimp, several huge chunks of delicious avocado, and a nice light tomato-based sauce with ample amounts of crisp diced onion and cilantro. Service was quick, and the server came by several times to check on us and make sure everything was ok. Complimentary homemade chips and salsa were brought out first. Simple, but awesome. The salsa was fresh, tasty, and about a 6 out of 10 on the spice. We'll be back for sure.

For Mexican seafood in a landlocked state, this place was good. Disclosure- my family is from the Baja Mexican coast so my standards for seafood are pretty high... I had the coctel de camaron, something I've been CRAVING since moving here 6 months ago! The coctel was decent, if not too oniony. The shrimp was massive and definitely came with plenty... but the garnishes of cucumber, onion, diced tomato and jalapeños were nonexistent. it was primarily onion which was a big downer. The juice was your standard Clamato and could have used a little salt/pepper. Hubs had the fish taco, another safe option. again, this could've used a little more flavor; he used tons of Valentina to get some taste in there. I'd be back, if only to get my fix ...

Don't let the ghetto exterior fool you. When I stepped inside I felt like I was back in Mexico in an authentic restaurant on the yucatan peninsula. The menu is large and overwhelming if you don't speak Spanish, which is probably why they have pictures. None the less, my meal was very tasty. Being a seafood lover who lives in Denver, I don't have too many options. With el camarones loco having over 90 dishes on their menu I will continue to come back. Love this hole in the wall.

We weren't sure what to expect when we came in here. We were looking for a nice Mexican seafood restaurant. The seafood taste less than average and the service as well.

Great fresh seafood. I like Wahoo fish tacos. I love the crazy shrimp's fish tacos. Try a shrimp cocktail or the filete and make sure to wash it down with an horchata. Not for the uninitiated in street food dining. They used to (and still do) have a "roach coach" parked on federal before they moved into this little building with a few tables in back and a narrow counter with a few bar stools by the front counter. More mexicanos than chicanos frequent this place so if Chipotle is as mexican as you eat then don't go here. De nalgas.
(4)Mariko Y.
The Crazy Shrimp is a must if you want fast fresh seafood. The filete is simple, but amazing in that crispy freshly fried fish taste that is hard to rival. The shrimp cocktails are pretty good also, if you can eat a pound of shrimp and gazpacho in one sitting. Unless you are a shrimp fanatic, you might want to split this with someone else or order another thing because they really champion the never-ending shrimp goblet.

really good, fresh fish and BIG portions. just slightly on the pricey side but i think it's worth it. the fried fish dishes are excellent and huge!
