Altamar Seafood & Bar — Restaurant in Texas

Our waiter Victor was so attentive and knowledgeable of the food and drink menu. I came for the first time with my mom and sister. I ordered the Tacos Chapultepec (Pescada al pastor). Honestly as someone who doesn't eat pork this was a good alternative for pastor tacos. So I appreciate whoever it was that added it to the menu. Victor did an excellent job. He enlightened me on how the bar makes their cucumber juice in house which is why the cucumber margarita I had was so refreshing and natural. The best margarita I ever had.

Fried to a golden brown with a savory white rice. Last we tried the Tostada Ensenada de Pulpo. It had a fantastic cilantro crema and the pulpo was overflowing on the tostada. This restaurant definitely ranks at the very top of my...

from a senior gringo perspective: I hosted 3 locals here. the "bar" part of the description is paramount. televisions everywhere with ethnic music videos. conversation at nearly yelling levels to be heard even 3 feet away some very fun combos and seafood items, which you pay for, but from my observation of our choices from steak to tacos, prepared well and generous portions bar staff appears to believe sparkling wine is served at room temperature asking for cocktail sauce with my shrimp ended up with a $3 upcharge which the waiter removed at my request definitely geared more for...
