Great place, nice decor inside and the food is pretty great. Even though they are a sea food place they do have several options without sea food (like fajitas, and they are delicious). The seafood choices are incredible and really really good. They do serve alcohol but only limited to beer (bottle) and frozen margaritas, at least for now they are missing a bartender. The prices are a bit high but considering that everything is expensive now days and that they serve sea food they are not that bad.

If your looking for the best ceviche in Waco, great customer service, El Mar is the place! I've been waiting for a place like this in town and I was more than satisfied! I had the Ceviche Mixto and my wife had the Pina Loca both were fantastic! The Topo Chico with salt and lime in a frosted mug was absolutely refreshing!
