    Ceviche tower with shrimp, Scallops, octopus and a white fish

    Been to this place a number of times when I am in town. Great food and service. Highly recommend that you try.

    Camerones a la Diabla
    Gary Q.

    Mostly a good experience with a few exceptions. For starters, the music was too to understand the waitress. I'll get to the other exceptions later. The insider is large, and has an industrial vibe. It's open and airy, though, and has an interesting neon mural. They brought our chips and salsa first. They were standard, bagged chips with both Red and green salsas. The green is better, but you can't actually dip the chip into the little metal cups because they're too small. I got coffee. The creamers were French Vanille Coffee Mate. Ew. Not good. My wife ordered a margarita, which looked nice, but it tasted like it was made with a mix instead of lime and Cointreau. We split Canaries a la Diabla, which is a spicy shrimp dish with rice. The rice was a bit overcooked, but maybe that's the way it's done. The shrimp was milder than I was expecting, but it was flavorful (almost a mole) and not too rich. Touched all the bases. My complaint was that the shells were still on. We had a lot of trouble eating them. The waitress said afterwards that we could have ordered them shell off, but she should have given us that option when we ordered. It came with a small salad with vinaigrette, pineapple and beet on lettuce. It was nice. The experience was a near miss, but we'll try it again.

    This place gets a standing ovation on their empanadas. I was surprised by the serving compared to the ones you get in NYC- ooooh it was so goood, mouth watering. One downfall is the pricing online does not match the menu in the restaurant. Their excuse was poor, like bro consumer laws do exist- you can't advertise something online for a different price in store. But that's a lawsuit for someone with time and effort.... lol good food regardless

    Carne asada tacos

    Visiting from California and this place is pretty authentic. Great food, service and music!

    Torre de Mariscos- tastes as good as it looks!
    Jeanie N.

    Don't sleep on this place, the food is fantastic, the service is friendly and the restaurant is beautiful! We got the Torre de Mariscos which is a tower of ceviche on a bed of cucumber salad, oranges and onions. It is so fresh and filling and with the side of tostadas as the perfect vessel to scoop it up. I had to take so much leftover home because it's a sizable portion. We also got the octopus in the Diabla sauce. This portion was also large. We loved the fresh salad with the pineapples and sweet dressing. Garlic bread was on point. The sauce was just sweeter than we expected. This place is a gem.

    Molcajete Mar y Tierra .($38) and Carnes mixtas $32 . Piña colada , and Draft Modelo

    Visiting Portland from Texas , and I am so glad I did not miss on this place . Food was delicious! Piña colada was amazing! Server was friendly, and the music was good . Will definitely recommend!

    Tacos Gobernador
    Paylee H.

    Tacos Gobernador. Filled with shrimp, cheese, bell peppers and onions. Slap it with some guacamole a squeeze of lime, and dip it in the tangy green sauce. Comes with a side of rice and salad. Say yes. Camarones A la Diabla. We ordered it spicy, but it was noT spicy at all. If you're looking for the spice that makes your tongue feel on fire, you won't find it with this dish. The garlic bread though! Oh man. Best garlic best. Ever. Empanadas. Completely filled with shrimp and cheese. Fried and crispy. So ooey gooey. Dip it in the tangy sauce. You might get an extra dimple where it doesnt belong, but it might be worth it. Get it. Guava Pinacolada. It was not Guava pink like the menu picture, as it came white as snow, and had like 1 tsp of alcohol maybe, but it was tasty. Overall, this place has a wonderful atmosphere, fantastic service.

    Pozole Rojo (Pork and Hominy Stew)
    James D. H.

    My Mom has been checking this place out for a while now. She knew all about the menu. The Parking situation on the street is Auful At Best. However, there is a small parking lot opposite the restaurant in the same complex. That's where we parked. It was a little difficult finding the restaurant for all the construction going on in the area. But we did find it. We came on a Sunday afternoon and before the lunch crowd. We were seated next to the window to enjoy the views. The entire staff was nice. The inside of the restaurant was very modern with an old school vibe. The menu looked amazing but I went with the lunch special. Pozole Rojo. A Pork and Hominy Soup. It was full of chunks of juicy tender pork and hominy. I would have been happy with just the Broth. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. I completely forgot to get a picture of the other dishes. Because as soon as a plate was set down, it got demolished. We were hungry but the food looked so good it made us more hungry. I ate till I was full and tried to eat all of soup but still needed a togo box. La Villa is a little spendy but well worth the cost. You should at least go one time just to taste the food. We can't wait to go back.

    Bar area

    Amazing, authentic Mexican food. The vibe is amazing too. Sit at the bar if you can and hopefully Andres is working, he's the best! They make their own flour tortillas from scratch right at the bar. They were warm and delicious with our meal!

    Pozole Rojo
    Jorge G.

    This place did not disappoint. Came back to this little gem. The service was great. We were well taken care of. The staff would come and check on our table to make sure we were ok. Inside the restaurant it looks really nice and modern. We sat at the bar which had a few televisions and i large variety of drinks, both non- alcoholic as well as alcoholic. The food was delicious. I ordered the pozole my other friends ordered nachos, carne asada and pozole.

    Our fancy schmancy drinks
    Laura C.

    I saw an ad for this restaurant on my Facebook wall and they did such a great job with photos of their fancy cocktails - I knew I had to get some friends together to try it out. What I did not know was that the area used to be "scary" but it's being gentrified and is nice now. The building that La Villa is in is brand new and posh. I loved the red carpet ropes at the entrance. I also was very impressed with the gas fireplace and tile work. It's a very nice place! They bring you chips and 2 kinds of salsa as well and individual corn tortilla's with beans. That was a nice touch and we gobbled that all down. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered 2 tacos. They only had one flavor; carne asada. That was okay...but they really need to put a star next to the "freshly made sauce" because it was so hot, my face burned red and my mouth was on fire! It tasted like it had ghost peppers in it. I can smother my food in wasabi & Sriacha so when I say it's hot, I mean it! I ruined one taco, pouring the sauce all over it, thinking it could not possibly be hotter than Taco Bell Fire sauce because there was no warning. The server ended up giving me some kind of thick cream (in lieu of sour cream, which they don't have) to cool my mouth down. Besides that, they were tasty. I also ordered the Cantarito - a paloma tequila based drink that comes in a traditional clay cup. The presentation in a clay mug with a Tamarind spicy candy straw stick & tropical flower was lovely and it was very good. It had better be for $13. One friend ordered the shrimp and was brought a whole octopus. They had t o take that back and re-do her meal. The shrimp come with the head and tentacles still attached - which I could not have eaten but my friend had no issue with that. She just thought it tasted bland. Two friends got the enchilada and the Carne Asada and the both thought their meals were good. My friend with the fajita was not happy about getting corn tortilla's (they don't have flour) but the rest of him think he's crazy because we all prefer corn tortilla's. On fight nights they play UFC fights in the bar so we will definitely come back to watch that and have more food (minus the freshly made sauce") and drinks.

    Firstly I am so surprised to see that La Villa only has 3.5 stars! This place was awesome! The menu is so diverse and unique and the food is absolutely nom-worthy! My husband and I had two separate entrees and two Octopus and I the Empanadas de Camaron. Both were very satisfying and great portions for a place like this. I loves the atmosphere and all the choices and the sangria was a nice touch with the meal. Excited to come back and try more!

    Margarita flight! So delicious & 2 different flights to choose from. Amazing atmosphere, Every dish that went by looked beautiful

Right now Captain's Galley is hidden behind a newly arrived red psychedelic-painted Mexican food truck. The food is as delicious as ever. Fried but not greasy, no old oil taste. My usual order is fish, shrimp and clams, chips instead of fries. All made fresh to order. The chips are to die for, fried just right. The breading in the clams, shrimp and fish has just the right amount of seasoning. They are so not greasy that I can eat them all as finger food and wiping my fingers off on a napkin doesn't leave greasy streaks. All are served with a little coleslaw, generous amounts of cocktail sauce, a spicy but not too much so dipping sauce, and the best tarter sauce I ever had in my life. I found something new to make me happy. They have delicious fish tacos! Before trying these I had fast food fish tacos that were more crunchy breading than fish. Captain's Galley brings the fish! Perfectly seasoned fish with toppings in proportion and a nice drizzle of sauce. Now when I go back it's a tough decision as to what to get. If you ever in your life liked New England clam chowder, get yourself on over to Captain's Galley for theirs. I've had New England clam chowder many times in New England and this is so much better! It comes with oyster crackers. This clam chowder is fresh enough that it can survive 2 days in the refrigerator and still be delicious.

    We drove here, because we're in the area. There was no one…read morethat we could see, we thought they're closed, we saw a sign: Open, but no one there, so I knocked at the window, finally someone showed up to help us. Because the temperature is less than 40 degrees, we hurried up with our order, so she can go back & close the windows, where it's warmer. We both ordered 2-3 fish and chowder. It took about 7 mins. maybe more, for our order to be done. I actually was disappointed: there were two or three (for hubby's order) fish sticks, (and they looked burned). I was hoping for some chips but I guess that was EXTRA, and we didn't order that. Total for mine is $10. The tartar sauce was filled with dill. The chowder (be both agreed), was salty! (We've tasted that SAME chowder elsewhere before). The lemon was fresh! (Probably, the only thing plus the dill, that's fresh there). This is the first time I wanted Fish & Chips, and Chowder, and no chips or fries. Totally my fault! I should have read the menu, and I shouldn't feel sorry for someone who is cold, and try to rush my order, when I only have seconds to pick what I wanted. I SHOULD have spend more time reading everything BEFORE I ordered. (I've ordered them so many times, in my life, I was assuming chips or fries came with the order).

So much art to look at, curiosities tucked in every corner, space to roam and explore! - Get the passport to make your stay even more rewarding and fun! I love the scavenger hunts and the stamps force you to do things you might not normally do on your own accord. - The full pitch and putt course is a relaxing and a fun way to spend a few hours. It was only $25 per person and took us 3 hours. - I signed up for the Makers Tour and highly recommend it! Lots of tastings and great historical facts along the way. - The soaking pools at night were perfect to relax muscles right before bed plus no kids after 8pm. - This hotel doesn't revolve around children. The movies that were showing were rated R and most of the pubs and pool hall are 21+. Kids are welcome - but I've never seen that many kids around which I like, personally. - It's very Dog Friendly!! - The live music is incredible. I've been here for big concerts on the lawn plus mini concerts down the winery hall. They were all amazing. - It can get noisy between 7-11pm especially in weekends! The building is old - not sure about insulation and things! Bring some earplugs, a positive attitude and maybe enjoy an extra drink! Or go during the week for a quieter experience. - The food is a bit pricey but if you are doing the passport it makes a little more sense. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Tots, Portland Dip, any Burger, and the Bagel and Lox Breakfast is Incredible!!!

The Highlights * ​The Saltwater Outdoor Pool: This was the absolute highlight of our stay. The water is kept at a perfect 38°C (100°F), making it incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend visiting after 8:00 PM when the pool becomes an 21+ area. * Thoughtful Details: The robes provided were high quality and very comfortable. Pro-tip: Be sure to bring flip-flops for the walk to and from the pool area. * Art & Dining: The murals throughout the hotel are fascinating to look at. We also had great experiences at the on-site bars and the Black Rabbit Restaurant, where both the food and the service were excellent. The Room & Stay Quality ​We specifically booked a room with a private bathroom and shower. However, most rooms at this location utilize communal facilities. Unfortunately, our room was located very close to the shared bathrooms and lavatories. Due to a complete lack of etiquette from other guests using those facilities, it was extremely noisy throughout the night. Because of the poor sleep quality and the noise levels, we likely won't be staying here again. It's a beautiful property, but the layout and noise issues made it difficult to fully enjoy our birthday celebration.
