They were also out of the bacon-wrapped scallops we came specifically to try. But the worst part? The bathroom was absolutely disgusting.

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.

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.

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.

It's been awhile since I've updated my review of this local Edinburg establishment. Unfortunately,…read moreLa Pesca is losing a star from initial review of the place. La Pesca is one of those places that has a great lunch crowd because it provides great value at lunch due to its low price specials however value alone can not sustain its third star. What good is value if the food is not up to par? Now La Pesca has a pretty decent ceviche. It's got zing, freshness and if you top it with their cilantro ranch and chulula hot sauce you got something special. Sadly, that's where the good ends. And frankly the value ends there as well. Me and a friend ordered the tacos de camarones especial. (Shrimp tacos). An order of these tacos consist of 3 flour or corn tortilla tacos filled with your choice of chopped grilled or fried shrimp, white cheese, grilled onions and cilantro. And a small side of Veracruz style white rice. The tacos while sounding delicious look sad as they are inconsistently filled. One Taco had barely any shrimp and was basically a quesadilla with grilled onions. The other slightly more but still very little shrimp. The third had more and one could taste shrimp but it's obvious the kitchen is skimping on the shrimp. For $12 dollars a plate I would expect each taco to be generously filled especially if you're chopping up the shrimp. Another friend ordered caldo de camarones (shrimp soup). I can't comment on it but he didn't finish it and it looked a bit oily. And still another friend ordered the Jumbo Shrimp plate. It came loaded with 6-7 jumbo fried shrimp. These were pretty tasty. However, at over $24 it was not a good value and seriously over priced. For about $20 one could order an entire seafood botana at Dirty Al's with way better shrimp. Just an outrageous price for shrimp of that quality. Overall, La Pesca is ok. The ceviche is still a winner and if you go and just have that you won't be disappointed. However, I can't recommend a whole lot else. But hey go and judge for yourself.

When I asked to use the discount, I was told it would not be honored. The owner was incredibly rude and unprofessional, stating that she had changed the policy and would no longer offer discounts to veterans, first responders, or police officers. While businesses have the right to change their policies, the way this was communicated was unacceptable and showed a complete lack of respect. It is especially disappointing to see veterans and first responders treated this way. I expected better customer service and professionalism. Needless to say, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for respectful and professional service.

Because of the World Cup taking place, most of the sales were take-out. So I had my choice of tables. There are booths down one wall, half booths on the other, and normal tables and chairs in the middle. I found myself admiring the calm and classy decorations. I was welcomed as I entered, and the server assigned to my table did an extraordinary job with friendly, efficient and professional service. He was fully bilingual, so we switched between English and Spanish effortlessly. There are many delicious sounding options on the menu: standards like the Tampiqueño, chile rellenos, sundry tacos, fajitas, several enchilada varieties, soups like the caldo Tlalpeño, botana platters and more. I ordered the Fajita Panchos Deluxe which is like a botana platter for one. I loved it, and the chef even arranged the food beautifully. I could not eat it all, so the server offered a to-go box and I enjoyed the rest for lunch the next day. He also offered a cup to take the rest of my limonada (made with sparkling mineral water). I will definitely be back. I'd like to try their breakfast deals. They offer chilaquiles, which is one of my favorites. El Jardin has an elegant but casual vibe, great for families, business lunches, gathering with friends, or even a date night. I recommend them.
