Thank you for stopping to read mmm-yoso!!!, an old fashioned food blog. Cathy is writing today, while Kirk and His Missus are 'researching' future posts.
I wrote about Negro Durazo in 2011, two times then once more in 2013. The Mister and I have revisted since then, but I haven't written a post about this Lemon Grove Mexican seafood restaurant since Covid-19.
When you walk in, there is a bar area to the left and the 'main' area to the right. 
All the way back is a small stage which has mariachis or a DJ or a local band is located on weekends.
A basket of warm chips along with a mild salsa were brought out with the large, interesting menu.
We ordered Queso Fundido with Chorizo to share ($14.95). This was served in a large/deep plate with warm corn tortillas. A good crisp chorizo (you know I am a little picky about chorizo) on top of a quality, melty creamy cheese blend.
My craving this day was for a shrimp ceviche tostada ($6.95). Look carefully at the large menu, you can find good prices for basic items. The chopped shrimp, cooked in lime juice and mixed with tomatoes really hit the spot. There are more tostadas on the tabletop, if you run out,
The Mister was looking at the "Filete Especiales" portion of the menu and chose the Relleno de Mariscos ($26.95). A large piece of fish (Didn't ask, but it was a thick, meaty filet) stuffed/topped with shrimp, octopus and marlin as well as tomatoes and onion all cooked in butter. Served with rice and steamed vegetables (which went well with the butter) this was a tasty meal with leftovers.
Mariscos Negro Durazo 6954 Federal Blvd, Lemon Grove, CA 91945 (619)337-7704 Open at 11 a.m. daily
