There's always a line, must be good turnover of fresh fish. Always enjoyable. It's a "stand", but uhh, maybe you can find a little seating.

I think the seafood is fresher and better prepared than Siete Mares, and it's a good deal less expensive. I just want to suggest that you try Mariscos El Jato on 4th and Evergreen in Boyle Heights.

I don't think its a purposeful deception, I was hyperbolizing for dramatic effect. There are pictures of other platters "El Presidente" that have a few sticks of Krab, so by logical extension... Oh God forbid if I would have <i>extended</i> my long-winded diatribe by including a dissertation on the guitar players...Seriously, if you live close to 7 Mares, go, it is fantastic diet food (bacon wrapped shimp excluded, naturally) I’ll check the menu next time.

It helps if you get shnockered first. Terila : Order up the bacon-wrapped and chesse-stuffed shrimp and pay to be serenaded by the mariachi players lurking around La Parilla on Sunset.

And I don't think your review was too wordy. (Why are we having this conversation?) I'm curious though if the restaurant gave any indication that the crab was really krab? If not, they are probably violating some law about advertising. The place is only about 3 blocks from my home but I suspect I will continue to avoid it. Is "La Parrillada" any better?

Restaurants, like people, are not homogenous. They have good aspects, and sometimes poor ones. In this case, listing K-rab on the menu as crab was a burn, and I ranted about it. The rest of the food is great, and I spent considerable time describing that. I understand that I won't always make friends with my observations, that's not my goal. Giving a thoughtful, honest, and entertaining criticism is what I hope to contribute to La Foodblogging. I'm sorry if this one was wordy and exhausting. It's a criticism I'm willing to accept because that's part of the publishing experience. You put your thoughts and words out to the public, and people are free to legitimize or vilify them. We are both exercizing the best, most important aspect of democracy, and I love it.

At ethnic restaurants, the menu usually consists of a select few quality dishes with the rest of the menu a bunch of standard filler. you had a potentially good write-up but lost your focus throughout. i was also exhausted after reading just the first few paragraphs.
