I've tried going there twice in the last month and they were closed.

I really like the food here, and it's relatively inexpensive. Right off 101 makes it a SUPER convenient location to meet up. Not everyone may like this, but I appreciate the fact that you get enough to eat without TOO many leftovers!

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.

I like this location better than Fiesta Del Mar Too. While it's not close to the shops on Castro like the other one, the atmosphere was better and the food seemed better too. It is a lively place and there isn't much elbow room. I had the seafood (shrimp mainly) burrito which was heavenly.

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