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.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, prepared fresh, just like a Mexican Grandmother would make, then this is the place for you.
If you are looking for inexpensive Americanized Mexican fast food, then go to Taco Bell.
This place is for those who want the real thing. I was seated quickly, and the service was superb. The food was outstanding! Again this is not Taco Bell. They were very accomidating as well. I have dietary restrictions, which they adjusted for.
You can expect to spend around $25.00 per head for an entree, soft drink, tax, and a 20% tip. I did not have alcohol.
The atmosphere was just average, but I was there for the food.
Try the house special. I don't remember the name, but it was chicken is a sour cream sauce.
The chips and salsa were great.
Ignore the reviews from those who wanted a cheap Taco Bell meal.
Pros: Thumbs Up!
Cons: None that I can think of.

Let me start by saying I live in south San Jose and the only Mexican food that my family will eat is Fiesta Del Mar Too, which is 30 minutes away.
The 3 main factors in are assessment, Quality, People and Quality.
The restaurant is VERY popular so go early if you want to sit right down, otherwise, take some time in the bar and learn about tequila's. Ask Roberto(the Manager) to help you learn about the history of tequila and some of his experiences touring the factories in Jalisco.
They have very traditional Mexican food as well as some of the newer generational styles. I have tried just about everything on the menu over the past 10 years and although I have enjoyed all that I have tried, I tend to prefer the meat dishes(Chili Verde, Carne Asada, Enjaccacado,etc). The meat is always very tasty and plentiful. Even their grilled New York steak would rival any steakhouse. My wife really enjoys the tortilla soup. My daughters usually order the waiters special. Ask your waiter what their favorite thing is and try it. Many times it isn't on the menu and you will have a new favorite food!
The staff there is extremely friendly and courteous. They keep the chips and salsa filled and the drinks fresh. Don't even think of ordering Jose Cuervo at this establishment. They only carry real 100% blue agave tequila (you may not know this but Cuervo is not technically tequila. It is like a grain alcohol with yellow food coloring).
As for the margaritas, WOW! I am a bit of a tequila/margarita snob and will not tolerate amateurs making my cocktail. Fresh Mexican limes, Fresh sweet and sour and a heavy-handed pour make a margarita you will never forget. Want a little kick; ask for the Herradura Blanco 92, rocks.
Go to this resturaunt and enjoy yourself. If you go in the prime eating times, enjoy the wait in the bar. You will meet some great people and try some great drinks. Try new foods on and off the menu. Do not order what you always get somewhere else.
Pros: Great food, great people and the best margarita's
Cons: Busy in prime times. Sit at the bar and enjoy the wait with a tequila snifter.

I started going to Chapala over 6 years ago, I lived in the neighborhood at the time and preferred it over all other Mexican restaurants around. I have since moved to Reno but still visit monthly, and to this day I have made a special trip to Chapala one each visit. The staff is wonderful, the service is quick and kind, and of course the food is delicious and fresh. Give them a try, you'll love them.
Pros: Great service, food and value...what more can you ask for.
Cons: Addictive.
