Mariscos El Palmar - Lompoc

The food was good the service was great. We stopped because we were in the area and wanted seafood. They did not have what we were looking for but the server came to our table, she was very personable so we decided to stay. I think our server's name was Melissa/maurissa, she explained the tortillas were made in house and selections were made to order. There were a couple of locals seated and another family came. the family was greeted with familiarity and excitement by the cashier and servers. This is not a big fancy dining establishment but the food was good. The mojarra was fried perfectly with crispy exterior but the fish was still juicy tender inside. Will definitely recommend.

I always go for the tilapia ..Always fresh and full of flavour.the guacamole here is the best in the whole central coast.did i mention the home made tortilla? The best mexican food in town.the staff are super attentive..

The restaurant offers a wide variety of options, ranging from seafood to burritos and tacos. I particularly enjoyed the carnitas de chile verde, which was delicious. The staff was friendly, the food was tasty, and the prices were reasonable.

The food was disappointing. My husband ordered the Carne asada, which was incredibly dry. It's unfortunate that the highlight of his meal was the grilled onions. I had the shrimp enchiladas, and the sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. The rice was decent, though. It's disheartening to think that people might believe this is what Mexican food is like. On a positive note, the service was good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. However, the prices were far too high—$42 for mediocre rice, tasty onions, bland fish tacos, and everything else that was just awful. It felt like a waste of money, and we won't be returning. I can't recommend this place to anyone.

The owners run this delightful little restaurant, ensuring consistent quality! Be sure to try the whole fish—it's fantastic! And don't miss out on the best guacamole in town!
