Editorial Review for Fiesta Del Mar – by Laura Reiley

The Scene
Located near Shoreline Amphitheatre, the restaurant is decorated in bright, festive wooden furniture and authentic Mexican knickknacks. A slew of locals, as well as those looking for a hearty meal, crowd the dining room before hitting the town.

The Food
Apart from the usual tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas and salads, the camarones Charlie are wonderful--shrimp and rice sauteed in jalapenos, capers, wine and garlic. The three salsas that appear at the table appeal to the mad scientist within. There's a mild, fruity tomatillo, a deeply flavored chili de arbol and vinegar, and a fiery red salsa that keeps you communing with your beer. A decent selection of tequilas are offered, some of them as smooth as cognac.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Vegetarians will find a number of dishes that don't rely solely on beans and rice (the sauteed veggie taco is particularly satisfying).

Fiesta Del Mar is a neighborhood mexican restaurant that doesn't serve average fair. So if you are looking for over-cheesed fried taquitos -- you won't get it there. If you are looking for great shrimp dishes, enchiladas and friendly service-- you've gone to the right place. They also have the best chicken soup! Their selection of margaritas and taquilas is extensive. This is a casual family restaurant. My hunch is that those who don't like it-- might be better off at El Torrito.

Worth the long wait. Weekends and lunch on weekdays get crowded. Definitely try their shrimp plates and soups.

Pros: Seafood

Cons: Parking
