Villa Rica — Restaurant in Mexico City

This place was an amazing recommendation! We started with the octopus tacos and chicharrón crab, and they were absolutely delicious. The complimentary spicy sauces and chips brought to the table were also outstanding. My favorite dish of the night was the shrimp in the aguachile sauce—so fresh and flavorful!

For drinks, I tried the mezcal passionfruit cocktail, which had a great balance of flavors. The only downside was the abundance of fruit seeds, but it was still enjoyable.

The desserts were the grand finale and absolutely stole the show! The arroz con leche empanadas and the fried plantains with a brandy brown sugar sauce topped with vanilla ice cream were perfection. My only regret? Having to share them! 😆

AVOID this place!. It is a ripoff. A group of us went for dinner. They don't speak a word of English. We ordered Margaritas and they brought us dark beers. I ordered whole snapper. It was tasteless. The fries were cold. The waiter tried to bring me some sauce at the end of the meal which was nasty. Salad had no dressing. I tried to get some but the waiter was so confused that I just gave up. The menu had fixed prices which are high to begin with but when the bill arrived they had conveniently charged us by weight which was much higher than menu price. A very disappointing experience!!.

Very nice place to eat seafood. Their menu is very good. I had the crab tacos and they were amazing. Also, I had the plantain stuffed with seafood. I wasn't very sure but it was delicious! For dessert, I recommend the chocolate cake. That was my favorite. I order the flamed banana but it wasn't as good as the cake. Es un buen lugar para comer mariscos. Me gustó la comida especialmente los tacos de jaiba desnuda y el pastel de chocolate. Ah! El café con Licor del 43 "sheakado"...
