Great food, inviting atmosphere and great service. The salsa is tomato based and pretty good. The chips are very good. Soups were amazing, we had the beef one and a seafood one. Beef fajitas were great with a side of mash potatoes, rice and a salad. The seafood dis came with a very spicy seed. Can't remember the name, but it was so good, i brought some home. We will be back . Alot of great menu options. read more

One of the best seafood restaurants! I love almost all dishes. The best dishes are the whole fish, chiles gueros, breaded shrimp and fish filets. read more

I went back for some grilled octopus today and I had to add an extra star because their salsa has improved quite a bit. There's still a little more tomato than I normally like but compared to what it used to be, I'll take it. The prices here are a little steep but the food is so good it doesn't bother me much. I really need to try the whole fried fish. A lot of people have told me that the whole fried fish is to die for so I'll have to force myself to not order the octopus next time even though I love it so much. This is most definitely some of the best seafood in Las Cruces or El Paso so I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Wow! Great service! Amazing food! We each had a taco as an appetizer, mine was shrimp, CA's was fish, both came with a big pile of lettuce, avocado, limes, chipotle dressing, etc. Next came complimentary bowls of fish soup! Two of those would make a hearty meal! Then we received our grilled octopus and whole fried Bass. Both exceeded expectations. The octopus was tender and cooked thoroughly with a bed of fried onions, sides of cilantro, tortillas and "black sauce" which I assume is and tasted like tamarind sauce. The fish was huge and meaty, perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Both were the best we've ever add. I also had a Modelo Especial with a shrimp skewer! read more

The very best fish on foil. When I come to town from the Phoenix area, I always order it. If you don't you are missing a great experience. And the corn in cream with the salsa and chips, are amazing!!! read more

This place is not the same. I used to like their caldo de siete mares but the last two times I have been disappointed. It was too watery, hardly had any seafood, and tasted less than satisfactory. My wife ordered breaded shrimp and instead of salad, they packed on the white rice! I know we've all been through the pandemic but come on. Are people in Las Cruces really digging this place? I'm not! read more

If you have to go to Las Cruces for any reason, make sure you have time to eat at Delicious Del Mar. To start the corn salsa is amazing. The cold tower of shrimp, octopus, avacado, and scallops is the best appetizer these foodies have ever had. The seafood chilaquiles were epic. I mean epic. They could write songs about those chilaquiles. The fish tacos have way too much spicy Salsa in them. Way too much, but the fish inside was done to perfection and the flavor was outstanding. I am not a fan of Las Cruces, and have always tried to avoid it. I call it little El Paso, but damn if I am not looking for and excuse to go back, just to eat at the Hone of the octopus. Any thoughts of putting one in Las Vegas are welcome. Sin City could use a great place for octopus done right read more

Clean and quiet atmosphere and the restaurant was busy when we went on a Saturday afternoon. Service was great and accommodating. I had the fish tacos and they were fantastic. I wanted to try a margarita but I was driving so maybe next time. Menus has good options and is mostly sea food so if you're in the mood for that this place would be perfect. It's a little expensive but what restaurant isn't nowadays. This place is a must try, I would give three and a half stars if I could. read more

This place was highly recommended. Ordered the fried fish. Tasteless, overcooked & dry. Mashed potatoes tasted as if they were from a box. White rice... Awful... How can you ruin white rice?? Had one bite and left the rest. Salad... Only soggy lettuce with oil, nothing else. Corn salsa and chili salsa... good. Fish soup .. one small piece of fish. Visiting Las Cruces Mexican restaurant, I expected better tasting food. read more

We ate there for the first time and it was amazing we had the octopus grilled and ceviche with shrimp It was awesome! read more

Delicias del Mar - Octopus grilled - Seafood Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Yummy posole, terrific salsa (I think I asked for more a couple times), tasty tacos, HUGE bowls of soups, amazingly reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. The soup they give you free as an app...just avoid. Wait for the good stuff to arrive. The breaded shrimp is actual shrimp. Not those little frozen things some places pass off as seafood. Stuffed banana peppers! Yep, octopus but we are not that adventurous - yet! Huge shrimp cocktails. Street style tacos were exactly what you hoped they would be. Several TVs. Pay at the register. This is a great find. Adding it to our list of favorites in LC. read more

Poor Service, highly over priced and food has no flavor. I ordered shrimp and I got a plate full of bland rice, not to mention that seating is horrible. Even if the place is full they keep half the building empty and make you wait for your meal Or be seated per the manager. No thanks I'll take my money some place else. read more

Ordered a fish soup to go, very tasty and work the price. I called in the order and was ready in about 10 minutes. Will definitely visit again!! read more

This has been a great seafood place for well over a decade for me. It is absolutely amazing. You get fish soup with your meal. The plates are big and I have never been dissatisfied with any aspect of this restaurant. I always try to come and eat here when I am in town. read more

Delicias del Mar - Seafood Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

A full menu with plenty of choices. The food is always very good and the plate is always full. The fish soup is amazing. read more

Ordered the fish soup and it was cold and lacked flavor. Ordered the asado plate and it was also cold. It came with a side soup and that was also cold and flavorless. The beans on the plate tasted like they were from a can, the lettuce in the salad looked like it was frozen for a while. The kids plate of chicken nuggets and fries tattered like they have freezer burn. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place and our server Roxanne was very rude and basically threw our plates on the table and left. First and last time I go there. 12/17/22 @1 pm read more

This is one of my favorite dinner date spots and my partner's favorite hangover cure. The service and food is ALWAYS on point. Their corn salsa and chips is so tasty, I even tried replicating it at home. Their dishes are served in large portions at reasonable prices. You can easily order their tacos or burritos vegetarian style. My partner loves the Vuelve a la Vida. I love that the servers speak to you in Spanish, gives me a chance to practice. You can even catch some live music (call to ask when they offer it.) Even the horchata is sweet and tasty. read more

Passing through New Mexico hungry my husband and I both love mariscos so with the great reviews we decide to stop here and have never been so disappointed with food in our lives. For starters the chips were stale. Then the salsa was disgusting, it just tasted like straight green chile. We order a michelada and it tasted like straight tomato juice that had no spices. I got shrimp ceviche which come to find out is just a plate with 1 plain tostada with really thick pieces of shrimp, chopped up tomatoes and the tiniest hint of red onions & cilantro. With 3 slices of avocado. Horrible. Worst I've ever had. My husband got aguachiles which basically was just a big bowl of soup with some shrimp in there. With all the food we've had an all the places we've traveled... this was the worst experience. Disgusting. read more

So I was in Cruces for an event and was looking for something tasty to eat with my cousin. He invited me to eat here because it was one of the few places he thinks provides consistent food all the time. I couldn't agree with him more. Right when we got there the service was quick and friendly. The chips and salsa were spot on. I could have just ate the chips and salsa and drank a beer and would have called it a day! So I ended up ordering some battered fish tacos and was very impressed. The Fish was fried perfectly and the condiments on the tacos were freshly cut and probably from a farmers market. There were 3 tacos on the plate and were very filling! We also got a tomato soup with some fish and it was killer! Not to sure what it was called but it def hit the spot! Would def come back again because of the atmosphere. The live music was great and the drinks specials were special! read more

As the previous reviewer posted - desert, seafood restaurant, not a very inviting combination. But my wife and I went for lunch, and the soups were good. We shall return - I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of seafood. Not quite the quaity of a McCormick and Schmicks, but better than I would expect at a Red Lobster. Service was good, prices fair. I definately recommend! read more

I go to Delicia's frequently. My favorite dish is Huevos Delicias, which is basically a quesadilla with an egg on top, smothered with cerrano jalapeno sauce. It is definitely one of my favorite dishes of all time. My wife is a big fan of the fish soup and fish tacos. read more

I was warned to stay away from seafood restaurants in the desert with the obvious concern of freshness with the exception of the five star joints in Vegas, of course. Well, Delicias del Mar has proved me wrong! I found this place 4 days before moving from Las Cruces and guess how many times I went there before leaving....yup...4 times! I can't even describe how flavorful their food is. One of the dishes I ordered was the fried fish plate. It wasn't much to look at. It appeared to be plain rice, with plain mashed potatoes and a fish that looked....well...plain. We'll looks are deceiving as far as this plate goes. It was the perfect blend of buttery rice, creamy potatoes and fish fried up just right. We also enjoyed the fish tacos, the carnitas which still have me salivating, and a few other shrimp dishes. Their soup is just awesome. Excellent and surprisingly super-speedy service (our entrees were served an at average of 7 minutes after ordering). Clean location with a refreshing vacation-on-the-beach ambiance. I'll miss this place. read more

We decided to go to Delicias del Mar after a matinee in the theater. I had one of the fish filet dinners. The topping of onions, garlic, mushrooms, and peppers was very good. My wife had the fish tacos which can be described as having too little fish and too much breading. The side of mashed potatoes and rice were okay, but both were starches. The small bowl of fish soup as the starter was very good. We might return if hungry for a fish dish. read more

The food was good and at a reasonable price for our family of 5. The only thing I would have to complain about is while we where there , there happen to be only one server so the service was kind of slow. read more

Very nice .....had a good dinner with my cousins .....imthe octopus was interesting it's been while ever since elementary....so 2nd grade ..if I remembered correctly though. But ...nice is all I can say read more

Came in on a rainy day looking for fish soup, but opted for the fish tacos. I ordered them a la Mexicana (tomato, onion and jalapeño). It came with a fish soup appetizer. Its a fresh tomato based broth with white fish. Not bad. Tacos came street taco style with layered tortillas and a pile of fish on top. Great tacos, fresh fish and veggies. Rice was very flavorful, but it also had a big serving of mashed potatoes topped with a green olive. Potatoes were good for mashed potatoes, but I didn't feel like they belonged with the dish. Portions were generous and you pay for it. It was about $12 for lunch with no soft drink. When I paid, I noticed the entrance and register were dirty. Paint faided and chipped from neglect. I don't think I'm coming back. read more

Delicious food, generous portions! Friendly staff & great prices. Food was fresh & tasty. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back!

FAIRLY GOOD ALL-AROUND MEXICAN RESTAURANT FEATURING SEAFOOD Delicias del Mar is ranked 13th for the total dining experience on the 2018 Mr. Sensitive list of the Mexican food restaurants in town. This is one of those restaurants that I have ambivalent feelings about. I have had some very good experiences here and very good meals, but I've also had some less than thrilling experiences here and some so-so food. So, I'm not going to tell you that it's "awesome" and I'm not going to tell you it's "horrible" like so many others might. This is a clean and fairly large and open restaurant with good lighting. It can be somewhat noisy and loud Mexican music may be pumped throughout the place. Yet, it is a fairly comfortable place to dine. The ambiance is casual but fine. The service I have found to be generally pretty good, but on occasion a waitress might be less than attentive or engaging. Not exactly enthusiastic. Overall, no complaints. The food is just average as far as the basic New Mex cuisine. The seafood can be real good. The chips I've had here are ok but the salsa not so great...tomato based and lacking flavor. But, it varies from day to day....so, who knows? They serve a cup of creamed corn with pieces of green chile with each meal. It is very tasty. The fiesta shrimp plate had a number of large and juicy shrimp wrapped in bacon. These were really good shrimp. The mashed potatoes served with the dish were just ordinary. A fish soup with a nice broth and pieces of fish, carrots, onions, and celery was quite good. Overall, this was a good meal but the price was a little high. But, it is seafood. I also sampled their FISH FILLET IN DIABLO SAUCE. The large fillet was prepared very well and had a nice flavor. The reddish brown chipotle sauce was high on the heat. The vegetable soup the meal came with was somewhat bland. This restaurant is one of the best bets if you are interested in Mexican seafood, but most of the New Mex food served here is sort of pedestrian. What you can expect if you go: A fairly nice ambiance if not too noisy, service that is sort of hit or miss, and generally good Mexican seafood dishes. This is your real "Mexican" experience around town. Restaurant rating = FOUR STARS.......meaning well above average to good. read more

Amazing service and restaurant there food is amazing the GM Erick is awesome so helpful and they all ways have the best fresh food and great prices read more

Great meal this evening! Not many people on Thursday evening. Fajita plate was enough to share!!!! Got tostada special w crab meat. It was loaded w crab on a crispy tostada. The caldo that came with the meal was delicious! Big servings, excellent meal. Friendly service as well. Will be back. read more

Went here with 4 people and everyone left hungry. My plate had 7 shrimp on it and was over $13, super disappointing. They also didn't have vinaigrette salad dressing. The soup that came with the meal had two small pieces of fish and two small pieces of vegetable, was 90% liquid. read more

The seafood soup was lacking seafood and veggies.My husband had the filete ajillo.Over cooked!!We have eaten here many time before and never had a problem.I ordered the shrimp with Poblano sauce No complaints.As we were eating this God awful music startedblastingIt was unbeli evable !!We quickly paid up and left.No more!! read more

Thought I had a good dinner here, ordered the shrimp dish and ate 2 of 6 oysters. Was happy with the flavorings and the complimentary soup but something about the taste of the shrimp was a little off. Low and behold, middle of the night I woke up and threw up until my stomach was empty---I feel lucky that's all that happened and although I see all the great reviews--I would not eat there again. My dining partner did not eat the shrimp and did not get sick. ending this review now as thinking about it makes me feel queasy. Staff were all very friendly. If not for the food poisoning I would rate 3.5 or 4 stars. read more

Party at Delicias Del Mar! Good live music. Beer bloody Mary's. Fish tacos. Caldo. Food was tasty and fresh. Lots of flavors. There was an olive in my delicious mashed potatoes! Atmosphere was laid back and family friendly. I will come here again. read more

Not bad not necessarily good either...may return if I'm craving pulpo (octopus) tostadas but otherwise the salsa was mediocre the ellote was off & service was absent. It's too bad bc I wanted to really enjoy this place. read more

One star for this place..Was very disappointed. When I walked in the music was on point, the decor was good. The beer was even cold( really cold). Then my food came and fucked up my whole experience... Shrimp was frozen. I would have taken 4 day old fresh shrimp over one day old frozen shrimp any day. Food had no flavor... I got it that we are not near the ocean but If your going to open a seafood restaurant Your food better be good..Not sure if I will come again.. read more

One of the best restaurants ever for my 67 years. Tonight there was a mariachi band to add to the evening's pleasure. Moderate prices and creative menu. Try the corn and chili pepper dip! read more

We were in Las Cruces to drop our son off at NM State and literally fell into this restaurant. It's going through a remodel and so first impressions are not good, but the parking lot was full so we felt that was a very good sign. Luz was our server and she was extremely polite and attentive. The beef soup was excellent along with all of our meals. Very large portions which none of us could finish. We will definitely go back the next time we are in town. read more
