Del Rey at Villa Royale

I’ve been to this place before the remodel
And now I visited after and was so impressed

Get the bombas and shrimp gamb
I also heard the empanadas take 2 days to make so get those too

All in all a very positive and yummy experience and would highly recommend this spot for tapas, cocktails and shared plates

My wife and I had a really great time at Del Rey. The patio aesthetic was incredible—dark and moody, with creative low lighting and walls of greenery that made for an intimate and stylish atmosphere.

The food was delicious, and we especially recommend the empanadas with garlic aioli and the meatballs, which were absolutely mouthwatering. The salad tapa was surprisingly large—plenty for two to share. The mussels, however, weren’t our favorite; in hindsight, we should have gone with the garlic shrimp instead. Tapas range from $20-$50 each, and while they suggest ordering 2-3 per person, we found that 2 each was plenty. The cocktails were also well-crafted and flavorful.

Service was mostly good, but when we mentioned we had to leave by a certain time, our waitress seemed to forget. It took quite a while to get the check, and I eventually had to track her down, which made us slightly late to our next destination.

Overall, though, we’d absolutely recommend Del Rey for a romantic dinner. The ambiance and food make it a fantastic spot, and we’d happily return!

Amazing date night spot with delicious sharable tapas and strong drinks in a sexy and cute dark environment. A little more on the pricer side but worth it! The vaca skewers were honestly the best beef we’ve ever eaten. Tender, juicy and generous. We felt like we ate a small steak each!

We were there for Valentine’s dinner. Food was exceptional. Ali was our server, she was extremely sweet, very professional and attentive to our needs. Definitely a place to go back.

Classy, trendy, and stunning. Food is fantastic, and drinks are even better. Plus, Enrique went above and beyond to make our anniversary dinner top tier. Highly recommend!

Tapas tasted like deep fried potato chip dip, not enough protein to recognize what it was. Chairs wobbled , drunk profane folk at bar, music too loud. Biggest disappointment of my dining out life.

This dish was a bit interesting..
it was sweet/ tangy
A unique flavor combination
But I was uncertain of the flavors and didn’t finish them. The meat seemed a bit bland, dry and old tasting without any sauce.

The cheesecake 🍰
Was delicious !
Creamy, sweet, and tasty.

Hey Del Rey owners. Call it for what it is. No confusing menu can save you from misleading your customers. You got ZERO main dishes and you cannot be a “dinner place” when you only serve appetizers.
Terrible value. Stay away.

Amazing place, food was fantastic and they were able to accommodate gluten free and nightshade free. Service was overall good but they were very young. Forgot the sparkling water and poured tap water. Not a big deal. Drinks were great!

What a swanky, moody dining experience! We were recommended this place on our ride from the airport. Loved the small plates, didn’t get every picture, we were ready to dive in! Enrique was a great service provider, made great recommendations. The steak and chicken skewers were great! Loved the broccolini, Bodingas & had to get the bread pudding for dessert! Little slow to get us started with service but was worth the wait!
