Villa Del Mar Restaurant McAllen

"I love coming here because the servers greet you with a positive attitude always. Everyone here is so nice, especially Carmen. My family and I always come down to see her because she is an excellent worker. She is wonderful and provides outstanding service. She is the best worker in the best seafood place! Thank you!!"

"I really love this place! Carmen is so nice, she is our designated server always! Aside from having an excellent server, she makes you feel like a friend! She is a 10/10!! We come all the way from Edinburg just to see her and catch up! Of course, the food is just excellent. Have been coming here since before the remodeling! I love it!"

"Nice spacious clean place with excellent service! The food was very flavorful and delicious, Octopus was cooked perfectly, and the plate was well served. The beans are really good and so were the salsas. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The prices are reasonable and it is a great atmosphere."

"First of all I want to say this place vibe is awesome. As soon as you walk in the door they greet you, sit you down and take your drink orders right away. They’re always attentive and with a smile on their face. The food is also great. We normally get the bassa chicharones. A shrimp cocktail and marisco soup. Carmen an all the staff are great. Hands down one of the best seafood in the area. We come once a o month after coming back from Reynosa."

"Mcallen South 23rd street. Before you take that long dirt nap...i highly recommend this place...for the "great food...great portions " for a low price... Let me start... U get a small dish of refried beans...with homemade corn fried chips... U also get an 8 oz bowl of seafood gumbo...on the house... These appetizers are at least 9.95$ in my eyes.. Then comes the great plate with shrimp and fish combo. It is made very well..taste is just right...what u see in plate is what u get... Then my cola of course... All this for only 23.95$ Yes. There might be other places like Dirty Al's in the island....but this..is just a tad better bargain as the latter place does not offer these awesome free appetizers... Muelle 37 also offers similar package but i have always thought that tasted more like a "canned" soup...i can tell these subtle differences. Villa del Mar is what i prefer. I have been dining here for about 15 years.. always consistent!! Highly recommend for the flavor at a very comfortable price!!"
