Passable food, can be ignored

The food was hot, service excellent but the food was nothing outstanding.

My spouse had ordered "ARROZ CON POLLO " which he thought was decent enough but my lobster taco's were not even interesting.

They make their own fresh tortilla's which is good but doesn't matter if the food is nothing to talk about.

The only thing I liked there was their Cuervo Tradicional Margarita ($8) which was tasty and strong and the dips (red and green) which came with the warm chips which were half crushed)

We paid about $40 for 2 entree's and a Drink which for me is as expensive as most places but not even half as sumptuous.

Needless to say, we will not be visiting them again. As it is we went there just because we had a coupon from resturants dot com

• Pros: Parking, Hot food, Drinks
• Cons: Nothing Outstanding

Best Mexican seafood dishes

by ladyjame at Citysearch

If you're craving Mexican food and want something del mar, go to Luisa's. I ordered the Lobster Tacos which I've never seen on a menu before. I got 3 HUGE soft tacos stuffed with lobster. I have a huge appetite and I couldn't finish them all. And the flavor was excellent. Came with whole pintos and rice which was also good. They also have crab tacos which I want to try next time. Chips and salsa also pass the test. You get two different salsas and the avocado-based one was my favorite. Service was very good. As soon as we walked in we were presented with a fresh, hot, corn tortilla with butter and pico de gallo. It was delicious. I actually liked the flavor better than Rosita's fresh corn tortillas if you've ever had them.

• Pros: Excellent seafood, lots of desserts to choose from, fresh and hot corn tortillas, free parking
• Cons: none

Blah

The staff is very friendly and service is good. I have eaten there twice now. The first time by choice, the second as a company. Both times, I thought the food I ate was very blah. No real flavor at all. No one in either of my trips in there enjoyed their meals. Each person said it was flavorless.

• Pros: Nice restaurant
• Cons: Flavorless food
