I was a bit skeptical for 2 reasons. 1) the fish was deep fried - not how I've had them in San Diego and 2) they didn't seem to offer any pickled accompaniments - no jalapeños or limes. The waiter said to just use their homemade green sauce instead. I did - as well as some other sauces on the counter (mayonnaise and chili). This was a great opportunity to go outside the comfort zone of the familiar and try something new. The fish was super fresh - the flavor and moisture were highlighted by the crunch of the thin outer layer of flour. So, they didn't feel or taste bready the way some batter fried fish can. It's a super casual and friendly place and you can have a beer or soda with your meal. Wonderful tasty fresh dinner with bev for about 65$. Go! They also serve seafood burgers - which look more like what we gringos call croquettes. Don't be scared - go for it. Yum!

P.S. make sure you have pesos as they don't take credit card! Right when we walked in, Mario was super welcoming and accommodating. We wanted to get a whole fried fish and were told that they usually have sea bass or red snapper but the sea bass was reserved for later. We got the sea bass and then an octopus tostada to share as an app. The octopus tostada came out quickly and was a delicious and fresh way to start the meal. We waited about 20 min for the fish to come and it was definitely worth the wait. The red snapper was plenty for us to share and the meat was perfectly tender with crispy skin and a ton of fried garlic. It was served with coconut rice (slightly sweet) and salad which rounded out the meal. The best part of our experience just definitely how kind Mario was. My boyfriend wanted orange juice but we heard they didn't have it but halfway through the meal, Mario bought orange juice to the store and gave us a complimentary glass. As we were walking out, we saw a couple of people drinking a green juice and asked what it was and Mario gave us a glass to taste. It was cucumber water and so so good. Definitely recommend you try it if you come!

Everything here is FRESHLY MADE (they buy everything the DAY of). La Vela didn't disappoint. Reasonably priced, great services, and lively atmosphere (their music taste is stupendous). Bring plenty of cash because you will want to check out their whole menus. But seriously, bring cash since it's cash only. Also, don't forget to ask them about their 3 house salsa (red, yellow, and green).

The menu features a variety of atypical seafood tacos and tostadas, including octopus and smoked fish, which immediately caught my attention. I ended up ordering the Pescado al Pastor taco, which turned out to be a great choice. The chopped fish was marinated in al pastor seasoning and topped with pineapple, onion, and cilantro, with a lime wedge on the side. The combination of flavors was vibrant and very tasty. We also tried the octopus, which was excellent. I'm a bit of a sucker for octopus when it's prepared well, and this one definitely delivered. The ceviche blanco tostada was another highlight--a generous pile of diced fish with tomato, onion, and lime juice that tasted incredibly fresh and bright. The hibiscus margaritas were delicious and refreshing, and I would highly recommend them--especially if you're planning to walk to the restaurant. The restaurant sits up a fairly steep climb from the Parque Benito Juárez area, so it can be a bit of a trek. Fortunately, we were dropped off and picked up by our driver. As for service, we had no issues at all. Our server was attentive and pleasant, though I do recognize that some other reviewers have mentioned inconsistent service. Our experience was positive, but it may vary depending on the day.
