El Rey Del Mar Marisqueria — Restaurant in Huntsville

This was my first time eating 100% authentic Mexican seafood inside of the United States, my good friend at work invited me to go eat at El Rey Del Mar Marisqueria and told me how good it was , I looked online at the pictures and reviews and the pictures looked absolutely amazing Well let me tell you exactly how it looks is exactly how it's coming out which is absolutely amazing looking and delicious!!

We had fast service! We were seated as soon as we walked in. The waitress had tostadas and habanero and jalapeno salsa on the table before we even sat down which was awesome.

I got the shrimp and cheese empanadas I got a 8 piece to share with me and my buddy and oh my gosh those things are literally a bucket list item of how good they are if you have never had them and then the sauce they bring out to with it in a little bit of tapatio hot sauce on it oh my goodness you talk about to give salivating hog heaven!

And that's not even all my buddy ordered the large mix ceviche which has fish onions pickled onions octopus tomatoes other vegetables on it with lime juice that we put on it salt and tapatio and habanero salsa all on top of fresh tostada's oh mannnnnnn!!!!

Then the top all that My buddy also ordered a dozen oysters with the ceviche and shrimp on top and we hit that with lime salt habanero salsa and some tapatio hot sauce ......

I'm telling you , I cannot freaking wait to go back!!!!! and their margaritas are out of this world good 😋

This place looks really cool had a bar and booths everywhere and also had a stage for karaoke and TV screens around playing nice chill music I could definitely see this as a cool spot to go have a couple of margaritas and beers at get some good food and sing some karaoke!

The only negative thing about this place that I can truly say which isn't really negative at all is that they don't have any draft beer at the moment that I know of everything is in bottles or cans unless you order mixed drinks.

The restaurant itself looked insanely clean all tables were immediately cleaned as soon as someone got up and left , I didn't see the restrooms while I was there so I can't say anything for them but I'm sure they are in good condition Just based off the restaurant itself.

6/5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ stars for the food , service , and atmosphere

I will take video next time of this amazing food and I cannot wait to try one of everything...

New foodie adventure unlocked!

What started as a casual convo with a coworker about seafood turned into an unexpected gem of an evening. After a quick trip to the Apple Store (RIP old phone – no Face ID, no fun), I ended up at El Rey del Mar Fp on University… and WOW!!!!

I was craving fried shrimp but accidentally ordered Camarones al Ajo – and let me tell you, it was the best “mistake” ever! Add in a small Patas de Jaiba and a perfectly spicy Michelada preparada… chef’s kiss!

The staff was super welcoming, the vibes were chill, and the food? Next level. That garlic sauce on the shrimp? That sauce on the crab legs? Life-changing.

Brush up on your Español and GO! 10/10 recommend. Would I go back? In a heartbeat.

Let’s eat good,...

Waiter didn't pay any attention to what me and my husband wanted. My husband ordered a large shrimp cocktail and the waiter brang us a small shrimp cocktail. I ordered shrimp empanadas and it took literally 30 minutes for them to bring me my plate. Then came and brang another shrimp cocktail for no reason. My husband was leaving to go back to work and he told the waiter that he was paying for his meal and mine. I finish eating and come to find out the waiter only let my husband pay for his food not mine. I had to pay $16 just for 8 shrimp empanadas. The waiter never came to check on us while we were there nothing. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WILL NOT be going back...
