Been to their Juarez branch, liked the ambience and the whole ocean-feeling decoration. Food, say no more, very nice !!! Ordered their Pablanos Shrimp, oh my god, the Pablanos sauce was so nice, rich and flavoured, totally go with the shrimp, strongly recommend!!!

It has been a while since I came to Villa Del Mar. I tried Carnaval de Mariscos. It came with several samples. It was good. They start you with a soup sample. It was a bit salty. It was better after adding some lime. Then a salad. My choice had a lot of food. I could not finish it. I had to take it home.

The food from seafood cocktail to fish fillet plates all great! I ordered the tampequena fillet, more than enough on the plate along with fish soup, salad,a red enchilada, guacamole and dinner rolls. Superior food and service!!!

First time going. Pretty good. Outside of lobster being over cooked. Wait time: reasonable - close to an hour Atmosphere: Cozy but they really need to get rid of the carpet Food: oysters - delicious Bass fried with garlic - delicious, lobster with an added ribeye - not so great. Bacon wrapped shrimp - bacon is life

Really enjoy coming and eating here, atmosphere and food is great and tasty. You get a lot of food for what you pay for. Service is great ( Esmeralda ) our waitress was always on top of everything. We always come just as they open to avoid the crowds. Stop by, you decide! David
