Food is amazing. The chips and salsa is delicious, the salsa has a smokey, roasted flavor. If your hungry for something satisfying, get the lobster grilled cheese. From the toasted buttery bread to the rich cheese and decadent lobster, this Is an indulgent meal. And the fries it comes with are perfect, crispy and seasonal. If you want something lighter, the ahi tuna tostada is filling yet refreshing and perfect for a hot summer meal. We also tried the chicken tacos. So good. There was attention to detail in every bite. The tortilla was perfect, not undercooked or soggy and perfectly toasted but flexible. The topping were fresh and sauces were distributed evenly so every bites was Delicious, also a filling yet light enough meal to not weigh you down in the hot, south Texas climate. The staff was all very personable and friendly. From the host to the bartender and even the owner and culinary chef Javi were all super great to chat with. We went around 830 pm, kitchen closes at 10pm. Again, attention to ever bite that was served. Nothing was done sloppily even though we came in kinda late. I can't wait to try the seafood boils they host on Sundays. They are working on a cocktail menu. I hope the drinks are as creative, fresh and as well executed as the food. If so, this will be the best new place on the Southside. The environment is very casual, in the evening can give a bit of a bar vibe, you wouldn't expect such good to come out of the kitchen. Again, I can't wait to see what they come up with for the cocktail menu. Right now the bar is simple, you just ask the bartender to make your favorite drink.

I come often and always have a great experience! I love the different options of tacos available that you will not find anywhere else. Barbacoa dumplings are hands down my favorite item. The brunch is great too. The huevos rancheros were seriously good and so was the kimchi burger! You really can’t go wrong here! Staff is always friendly and provides great recommendations if you are not sure what to order!

Me and my sister were in the area for a convention, and decided to stop here for lunch since it was close and being from the DFW this seemed to match the vibe of some of our favorite food spots. we were so glad we stopped here. the waiter (i cannot remember his name for the life of me) was the sweetest kid who was doing an amazing job. he was the only one on the floor and he was just doing an amazing job keeping up with everyone. my sister disclosed that i have a food allergy to corn before we ordered. we ordered and everything, they were out of a few meat options, but things happen so we werent too worried about it. we got the chips and queso and a quesadilla to share. the quesadilla came to the table, and my sister noticed that there was corn in the quesadilla. she immediately let them know that it had corn on it. the cook was so nice and apologized about it, and re made it for us. it would have been so easy for either of us to have been so upset about this happening and possibly ending with me in the hospital, but the fact that they were so nice and fixed it for us was what meant everything to me. even keeping a smile on y'alls faces when it was getting a bit hectic was everything. i would come back here if i'm ever back in town :)

My partner and I, US Army, were working in the local neighborhood looking for a place to eat when we came across Cruzy's, along with the good reviews from yelp. The menu is filled with great selections with its own special fusion of ingredients that compliment each choice. Just browsing thru the online menu is enough to make you crave whatever your in the mood for. The owner has years of experience in different cuisines that he loves sharing his passion and selections with those who enjoy a great taste in fusion. So if your in the local area be sure to stop in. You won't be disappointed.

I had a last minute party of about 15 and they were able to accommodate us with no problem. the waitress did inform us of an item that wasn’t available and I guess she saw the disappointment on my face when she said it, because later on she said the chefs hand made the item just for us. It was the sweetest gesture I’ve ever received at a restaurant. This was our first time there and we had a great experience. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed ? picture of the Rick Ross, it was delish!

We went at 5:30 on a Thursday and it was empty. Nice ambiance and everything seemed clean. Queso and salsa were bland. Chips were made in house. Mini tacos had little to no seasoning. The cruzer taco was pretty good. Everything look well put together. Maybe we cought them on an off day/time.

The food was so good! We had the taco salad, pig on a stick, and fish taco. All three were enjoyed by myself, my husband, and two boys. They had numerous beers on draft as well. As my 7 year old said "It's the best and i will always come here duuuuuuuude!"
