El rey Del Mar is a great little Mexican restaurant with a variety of tasty items on the menu. During the warm months they have... tables outside for added space. The staff was polite the food was delicious! Me and my friends had a blast in karaoke weekend. Read more

Shrimp cocktail was delicious as it is! I enjoyed it and would definitely come back for a 2nd time.

Overall disappointing. Went on a Friday during the lunch hour. Hoping to experience some of Reseda's local personalities only to... find the place empty, cavernous, and dark. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. They did a great jobserving. The menu has probably over a hundred items ranging from simple Hispanic favorites and small plates to seafood andlobster. They served complimentary tortilla chips and salsa. The chips were warm, but felt old and stale, definitely not freshlymade. The salsa was also bland and tasted like store bought salsa. Nothing impressed me. I got the shrimp tacos and was mostlydisappointed by them. Normally I expect a variety of flavors in my shrimp tacos, from the seasoned shrimp, cabbage, onions andcilantro, and likely some salsa or avocado. Here the tortillas were very warm, but the shrimp didn't match the temperature andlacked noticeable seasoning. It didn't feel fresh or authentic; it could have been frozen or prepackaged. There was a lot ofsauce but the shrimp or vegetables lacked exciting flavor. Even the heavy sauce felt bland and rich in mayo or ranch. I alsoordered a pollo asada burrito to go, and received a carne asada burrito instead. It was okay, but also disappointing. The carneasada felt old and overcooked and significantly lacked flavor. The beans were completely mushed and the rice didn't have anybounce or flavor to them. Overall tasted and felt like a store bought microwaved burrito. Furthermore, regardless of having abill that exceeded $10 they attempted to charge a $1 for using credit. No other place I have visited recently charges for crediton bills exceeding $10 and most of the time the charge is $0.30 or $0.50. The location also serves a variety of alcohol, yet Ididn't peruse them. Read more
