They started off with complimentary chips and two dips, a thin warm bean dip which was good and a light green one cold that, while we could not figure out what it was, was absolutely delicious. The only legative was that the calamari was a bit over breaded and overcooked. We will likely be back while we're in the area for another 5 wks.

Before the entrees came we got a complimentary broth in a cup and chips and salsa. The bill came out to $36 and we thought it was a great deal for the amount of food we got. The menu was all in Spanish and our waitress only spoke Spanish. That wasn't a problem for me, but if you don't speak/read Spanish then definitely bring a friend that does.

La Pesca is a locally owned and operated Mexican style restaurant specializing in seafood, but also…read morehas plenty of options for those who prefer something else. It is also apparently quite popular with locals, which is a good sign! The location is easy to find on the corner of W. University Drive and 6th Ave. by the railroad tracks. The building is old and has probably been repurposed multiple times. There are just a few spaces to park directly in front but there are more places to park on the east side. The food was wonderful. The ceviche was mounded high on the tostada, a little salty, but mild; I added some of the salsa provided it was excellent. The seafood soup was also delicious and chuck full of fresh fish and shrimp. The broth was a typical Mexican style, but not spicy. The cocktail sauce is also Mexican style. Do not expect the traditional American style cocktail sauce with horseradish. This sweeter, tomatoey Mexican style cocktail sauce is what most want here. They do have plenty of Tabasco sauce if you prefer that. The Mar y Tierra botana platter for 2 was enough to feed at least 3 or 4. It came loaded with fish, shrimp, and fajitas along with multiple sides. My son really enjoyed it ...even as leftovers the next day. There are a few Americanized aspects: the fish on the botana platter was lightly breaded with what I think was a cornmeal /flour mixture, Southern style, and had a good flavor. The French fries also had a great light crispy coating. The platter included a couple of other American sides: onion rings and hush puppies. All these on top of chips (totopos), beans, and garnished with fresh avocado... This is a popular place, and seating is limited. So if you go on a Friday night like we did, be prepared to wait to be seated, and wait a while for your food. There was also a pretty long take-out line. Once the food arrived we really enjoyed it, but there was a significant wait. I'd like to return on perhaps a Monday or Tuesday night. The décor is rustic with a beachy yet homey feel (because of the old building). I've been to classier and fancier looking places, but but I don't think anyone goes to La Pesca for the ambience. They go for the food, and it is good enough to wait for if you happen to arrive at a busy time.

This was not worth the money or the time. I hope management steps up and makes serious improvements. I won't be returning unless I hear things have changed.

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday. I think this place has a lot of potential and if they work on a unique seasoning, they will be a great place to dine! The service was good.
