I am so happy we found this authentic Mexican restaurant specializing mariscos but everything is good! I have been four times & had huachinango, fish tacos, carnitas & carne asada. All were delicious & I wouldn't hesitate to order any of them again. Even the rice and beans have a wonderful flavor. And they make their corn tortillas right there on the premises. The place is clean and the service friendly and helpful. Try it you won't regret it. read more

This is a local restaurant that you MUST try. It's primarily seafood but they do have some other options. The food is delicious! Their alcoholic beverages are so good, too! Service is for the most part good, but keep in mind that they do get busy on the weekends. Staff is overall friendly. They have music playing and television screens. They will put on sports game if you ask! read more

Marisco Agua Verde Restaurant - Mar y Tierra and Agua Mineral preparada - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, California

So I'm working the Wilmington/San Pedro area today and we're ready for lunch right now. Found this place on Yelp. It has a 4 star rating, so it should have decent food here. So this place looks like your average Mexican family restsurant. The exterior and interior was OK, looked a little outdated, could of used a makeover job, but was clean. Waitresses were really nice, friendly and attentive, so no problems there. Chips & salsa were really good, chips were fresh and crispy, and not greasy, salsa tasted great, had a little heat to it. Ordered the mix fajita plate, came with beef, chicken and shrimp, and with a mixture of bell peppers, onion and tomatoes. Instead of the traditional sliced chicken or beef, this one served was more like a Chinese stir fry. Didn't look like a traditional fajita, but tasted good, above average. A big plus was the home made corn tortillas. So all in all, a pretty decent place to eat. I would come back, if I'm ever working in this area again. 4 stars from me. read more

I'm going to give them 3 stars just because their rice and chile relleno burrito are top tier. But their seafood has significantly declined since covid - no longer that delicious, fresh quality. My mom, for whatever reason, is still a loyal customer. She is disabled and still walks all the way over there around once a week because she loves having handmade tortillas. On multiple occasions, they have forgotten something, and she lets it slide. Yesterday they forgot the one thing she goes for, the tortillas. She walked all the way back and asked if they were going to give her something for the inconvenience- the manager, that used to be a waitress and always had a bad attitude, told her no. Not even a refund for the $1 tortillas. read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! A definite 10/10 I recommend the agua chiles and the oysters *chefs kiss* read more

Ceviche de camarón is , agua de orchata is Wish the actual food was cooked with more love!!! To me the rest of the plates are really plain like if it was cooked at home. So the ceviche is what I always go and get that is done right! read more

Came here with the kids (10 and 12 yrs old) to try something new. The service was attentive and friendly. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, chile relleno, and chicken enchiladas. All were delicious! The only thing that would have made it better was if the Dodgers won that night (game was on TV). Will come again! read more

My to go to is always the 7mares caldo!!! It's great just a lil pricey, has definitely gone up several dollars in less than a year! Very unfortunate! read more

My family and I were driving by and saw this cute little place was offering outdoor dining and we thought we should give it a try. They had coverings to shade the tables. Servers were very friendly. They had their masks on due to Covid, and had the tables socially distanced. They gave us our chips and salsa, with our menus. They came and asked us what we wanted but once we got our food we really didn't see them again. The table salsa was just ok. It kind of tasted like a tomato soup with a bite. The plates were 11 bucks and up. The kids menu items were 7 bucks. I felt that was very reasonable. My youngest got her cheeseburger & papitas, my other daughter ordered fajitas mixtas & the rest of us got the chilé relleno burritos with green sauce. The meals for the four of cost $51. Which I feel is very reasonable price for what we got. The fajitas was a mixture of steak and shrimp with bell peppers and it came with you choice of flour or corn tortillas along with beans and rice. Our chilé relleno burritos were stuffed with this chicken broth rice, refried beans and of course the chilé relleno. The burrito was creamy with cheese and it was very flavorful. The green sauce on top was good just a little more lemon than I am used to but very flavorful. This place is definitely a cute spot to try out. It's better for a date night and if your looking for seafood. They offer seafood plates for $40 for 2 people. It's also cutely put together so you don't feel like you are just sitting in a parking lot eating food! read more

I have always wanted to try this place for many years since I live in Wilmington. I have always heard good things about Agua Verde so me and my family took a chance. I've got one word for this place in Spanish and that word is "Wakala!!" (translated in English to mean something really nasty or gross). I ordered the fajitas mixta (it's fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp) sounds good. My wife ordered a shrimp cocktail and in addition it also comes with scallops, octopus and fish. My oldest son had a kids meal. The service was nice at first but died after the initial help of one drink per person and no follow up when the food came. My fajitas were terrible, the shrimp was old! It tasted like spoiled rotten shrimp with a nasty taste. There was hardly any chicken or steak. The rice and beans were okay and the chips too but the fajitas come with no dress up like salsa or sour cream or guacamole. I did order the guacamole on the side which our waitress told us would be only $3.70. In the end they charged me $4.99 for a tiny bowl of guac. My wife's cocktail had the same nasty shrimp and she said it had almost no flavor at all, it was like basic tomatoe juice with water with very little tomatoes juice. The color of the cocktail juice was almost white and no matter how you added lemon, salt or tapatio there was nothing to redeem the horrible quality of the cocktail. My oldest sons meal was also gross, it only comes with two tiny little shrimp for $6.99. I don't know how they chalk that up as something worth 7 bucks, but maybe it was the rice and beans that are high quality. I will give this place one star because the place was clean and so was the bathrooms. But the service was really weak and the prices of the food was too high for the extremely poor quality. So for a cocktail and a very small portion plate of fajitas and a kids plate of two shrimp and one michelada (beer with chili and lemon and tomato juice) oh and the $5 guacamole it costed $59!! Man it was so bad! . I felt so terrible paying any money to this establishment for the food I ate. I felt bamboozled, I will not be back. read more

Marisco Agua Verde Restaurant - Seafood today at this local restaurant, hear its good let's find out! - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, California

Came here yesterday for a birthday dinner and left with zero desire to return. I ordered the beef fajitas which were unseasoned/flavorless and tough with fat. The rice and beans are also flavorless and needed salt - which speaks volumes as I NEVER salt anything dish, anytime anywhere. My girlfriend ordered the grilled tilapia and that was also very unseasoned/flavorless. Whoever oversees how these dishes are prepared needs to overhaul the recipes or something because flavorless dishes at a Mexican restaurant is unacceptable. Seasoning is the soul fo Mexican food. read more

My family and I went to eat here and it was just bad food. I ordered the enchiladas, my dad the shrimp fajitas and my sister something with shrimp and fries. Everything just tasted so bland. The beans just seemed like canned refried beans, the rice didn't taste like anything and was kinda hard, the chicken in my enchiladas just tasted like plain tortilla and the chicken was literally just boiled and that's it . We also got tamarindo and horchata to drink and the drinks were way too sweet. I typically like sweet too I have the biggest sweet tooth but this was way too much I can't imagine how much sugar is put in it. My dad barely ate his food and typically when we don't finish our food we just take it and I asked if we are gonna take our left overs and we just didn't because it was just bad. read more

We saw the charming decor of this place while hungrily driving down the PCH and quickly did a U-Turn. Cute paintings and decor inside and out. Super friendly staff in cute outfits. Very authentic Mexican food. Awesome fish and shrimp tacos. Fresh seafood, tortillas, chips, salsa, menudo (trite) on the weekend. Don't miss the flan! Comes in cheese, butterscotch, and coconut. Not inexpensive but Good service and fresh fish tacos in an authentic setting. read more

Today was a good day for something light and delicious, I decided to stop by aguas calientes with my mother. Walking in I noticed only a few patrons, there was a lot of open tables so we sat near the window. The waitress brought over some chips and salsa, salsa was bland and boring. I ordered a shrimp burrito that was not on the menu and my mom ordered a grilled fish plate. The $20.00 burrito was all rice, some beans, tomato pieces and a few shrimp. My mom's plate also consisted of the same exact rice and beans and a small size fish, they threw some dehydrated inedible slices of carrots and lettuce. It's hard to tell if they are decorations or a side salad. I had a cup of water and she had an horchata that was too sweet and had to dilute with water. Overall it was a real disappointment, if you want a delicious decent burrito you will not find it here. Unbelievable $20.00 for a small rice, bean and shrimp burrito!! Will NOT be recommending this place to anyone I know. read more

We went to our once favorite Mexican restaurant in Wilmington. We ordered two burritos, one chopped beef one chili rellino we ordered salad too. We also had one extra sour cream. The salad is iceburg lettuce with a few pieces of cabbage and about half a raddish. The burritos came out nice and big. Upon opening the beef, we found it was 90% rice, maybe a teaspoon of beans and no more than an ounce of beef. I didn't order a rice burrito. I ordered shredded beef. The chili rellino was stuffef with so much cheese it would run out on my plate. Great for cheese lovers. The shock was the bill. It was 39.00 which was the burritos, salad and one side of creama. We had water to drink. We left a tip that brought it to 47.00. That is greed. Pure greed on the owners part. Our once loved has changed. Greed took over. I live in Long Beach and my neighborhood restaurant serves far better for half. We won't be going back. The last few times has been the same. We are done! read more

I'm giving this a one star cause I cant give them zero. This place is extremely ripped off. I paid 15 bucks for this tiny ass cup of microscopic shrimp. It has no flavor and its small af. This is supposed to be a large cup??? Nop no no no if it tasted good I wouldnt complain but it tastes like straight up water. read more

Great friendly service and okay ambiance. The value is very good for what we got. My chili verde burrito was huge for $7 with free chips and salsa. Our younger waitress who couldn't speak much English was the nicest waitress around. Would come back just for her friendly service. My Mom's chili rellenos were a little too salty and too much batter. My burrito was great. read more

This is a hidden gem... the food has so much flavor! The rice and beans taste authentic. On the weekends they have freshly cooked tortillas and don't get me started on the micheladas! My go to place! Best micheladas I've tried so far! We've been coming here for years and the waiters are so sweet. Definitely supported this place during covid closure and will continue to come here! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! I've been coming here for almost 2 years now, and the customer service is always amazing. The waitresses are always friendly and happy to help. The food is always delicious and it's also a plus that they have handmade tortillas! During this whole COVID thing, they are very clean and have outdoor seating. The employees have face masks and the head gear to have their faces covered, I felt very comfortable and safe. I will continue to support this business. I can't wait until everything is back to normal to go back to eat inside again. read more

NEVER AGAIN !!!!! Ate oysters here about 3 days ago and I been sick every since vomiting, diarrhea and fever plus they've gotten pricey

Kids and I were on a hunt for a delicious meal, and came across this gem. We chose pick-up. Everything was so yummy, and the meals were ready when they said they would be. I just wish they would gave us the option to ask for utensils and napkins or just included them in the orders. Other than that, 5 stars all the way read more

This Location is not social distancing at all. All the next table is literally 2 feet away because they were trying to fit 8 tables in a single shade. We requested to have another seat and was willing to wait they refuse to sit us there because it was a party of 4 table but we were a party of 2. However there was plenty of of party of 2 being seated in party of 6 tables. read more

Shrimp burrito- wet with Red and green sauce is definitely a good star. I usually telephone my order because it takes 15-20 min to prepare. You will not be disappointed. If you like spicy then as for the spicy hot sauce on the side. WARNING.. it's hot as heck.. Portions excellent Flavor outstanding Service great Restaurant clean Good parking read more

Introduced my very English husband to what real tacos and burritos taste like! This place did not disappoint at all. The portions are enormous and very fresh! I wish we lived much closer than we do, just for the real Mexican food and ambiance. He also was enchanted with the soft-toy claw machine. We can't get enough of them. I always have to keep a roll of quarters on me in case we run into one. read more

Struck by a serious craving for some spicy chilaquiles me and my better half ended up at Agua Verde trying to scratch that itch. Unfortunately the chilaquiles were a let down. Not spicy at all and quite frankly pretty bland. The Mojarra we ordered up to share on the other hand was pretty tasty and the several Tv's around the restaurant were tuned in to the NFL game that was on so that was a plus. The service on the other hand was yet again another negative. Coffee refills were far and few between and when it came time to pay the check we literally had to flag down a waitress that wasn't even servicing our table. Ive had better and I've had worse but a return visit might be about as rare as a refill in this joint. read more

The best seafood in Wilmington. But i do like camarones a la diabla from la pas better

This place is horrible. Here's a few reasons why: 1. Bad service: All the waitresses seemed very distracted especially the one we had because she did not make eye contact at all when she took our orders as well as when she put our food on our table. 2. Smell: We sat by the register and I think I smelled the restroom. 3. Food: mediocre mexican food. Never coming back here again! read more

I love this place. Their ceviche de Cameron and the tostada de pulpo is freaking delicious. Their micheladas are perfect as well. I come here often. I'm pretty picky with my seafood seeing as how I worked with it for so long, but this place does it for me. I don't need to travel all the way to San Diego to fill a craving. read more

Ordered: Mojo de ajo fish filet ceviche bacon wrapped shrimp carne asada Comments: Everything ordered was AMAZING! Started out good with chips and salsa. The salsa has good flavor and the chips are freshly made. The ceviche is so fresh and tastes great with the chips. The mojo de ajo had me licking the plate it was so good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the beans matched impeccably with the entire dish. The bacon wrapped shrimp is salty and great with the rice and beans as well. No complaints here about the carne asada either. Bottom line: We will definitely return! read more
