Decided to check this place out because I saw a sign outside that had a shrimp tacos for the Wednesday special. they do have daily weekday specials. Came in and it was empty, there was one servr and the other side of the restaurant was empty, i know it gets more packed on the weekends. Anyhow, to start the service was good, they bring complimentary chips and salsa which are both good. I ordered the spicy green aguachilies and shrimp tacos; on wednesday the shrimp tacos are priced at $2.75 ea if you buy 3 or more. Everything else on the menu was relatively pricey which is pretty typical for mariscos.
The shrimp tacos were very reasonably priced and they looked pretty big but it was mostly cabbage, not much shrimp in it and the shrimp was very very breaded, tasted more breading and cabbage instead of the shrimp and the cream was not ur standard crema it was the Mexican crema and was kinda bland, I added lemon and salt. The tacos didn’t come with salsa. The white sauce was a disappointment and the cabbage was too much, the shrimp tasted like frozen breaded shrimp so I was a little disappointed. If your looking for really good shrimp tacos than I definitely wouldn’t recommend shrimp tacos from here. If your looking for cheap, good price on shrimp tacos and don’t care about quality than come here on Wednesday. Be ready to eat a ton of cabbage and super heavily breaded shrimp.
The aguachiles were $28 and they had more onions and cucumber than the actual shrimp, the sauce they serve it with was phenomenal. This was good just was hoping for more shrimp but alot of places are skimpy on that.
Overall the place was okay, I haven’t tried anything else but from what I had, it was not the greatest.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican seafood, Mariscos Villa Del Mar is the place to go! The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful — every dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The portions are generous, and the presentation is spot on.
The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the staff made the experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. You can tell they take pride in both the food and the customer experience.
Highly recommend this spot whether you're craving mariscos or just want to enjoy great Mexican seafood with friends or family. Definitely coming back!

Went for the Thursday special which was fish, shrimp, asada or chicken burrito for 10 Was disappointed with it due to it being plain inside. They give you green, red sauce and sour cream though but I rather have it inside already with some lettuce. Good thing about it was plenty of shrimp Breaded shrimp burrito was a 6/10

I'm Hispanic but I will not be telling my Spanish speakers how good it is because they know it's good. I will be telling my English speaking friends how good it is. This is my first time coming here and I'm mad I haven't been here before. The food was delicious we tried the campechana (shrimp, octopus abalone) the 7 mares caldo was hot and filling and the menudo. Everything was really good. The service was on point she was coming by often so we weren't waiting on her. We were seated and attended right away. We did go in the morning so it was small groups. The atmosphere had some Spanish bangers playing, it is loud so it's not a relaxing establishment but upbeat. T hey have alcoholic drinks if you just want to drink or maybe snack on some seafood. Overall my first experience was great I will definitely be returning. There is additional parking in the rear so don't be afraid to go back there.
Food is delicious definitely recommend very clean place. Best spot around.

Cocktails were fresh and refreshing. Camarones rancheros very tasty and good portions. Tacos Gobernadores de Camaron were some of the best I have had. Classic flavors and garnishes.
Carne asada burrito was not good at all. The meat was "gummy", it lacked texture and flavor.
The micheladas and aguas minerales preparadas were great.

They claimed to have a happy hour. And when I got the bill, there was nothing happy about it. Full price, we'll not be back again. False advertisement.
