  So I'm working the Wilmington/San Pedro area today and we're ready for lunch right now.  
  Found this place on Yelp.  It has a 4 star rating, so it should have decent food here.
  
  So this place looks like your average Mexican family restsurant.  The exterior and interior was OK, looked a little outdated, could of used a makeover job, but was clean.
  
  Waitresses were really nice, friendly and attentive, so no problems there.  Chips & salsa were really good, chips were fresh and crispy, and not greasy, salsa tasted great, had a little heat to it.
  
  Ordered the mix fajita plate, came with beef, chicken and shrimp, and with a mixture of bell peppers, onion and tomatoes.  Instead of the traditional sliced chicken or beef, this one served was more like a Chinese stir fry.  Didn't look like a traditional fajita, but tasted good, above average.  A big plus was the home made corn tortillas.
  
  So all in all, a pretty decent place to eat.  I would come back, if I'm ever working in this area again.  4 stars from me.

  I have always wanted to try this place for many years since I live in Wilmington. I have always heard good things about Agua Verde so me and my family took a chance. I've got one word for this place in Spanish and that word is "Wakala!!" (translated in English to mean something really nasty or gross). I ordered the fajitas mixta (it's fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp) sounds good. My wife ordered a shrimp cocktail and in addition it also comes with scallops, octopus and fish. My oldest son had a kids meal.
  
  The service was nice at first but died after the initial help of one drink per person and no follow up when the food came. My fajitas were terrible, the shrimp was old! It tasted like spoiled rotten shrimp with a nasty taste. There was hardly any chicken or steak. The rice and beans were okay and the chips too but the fajitas come with no dress up like salsa or sour cream or guacamole. I did order the guacamole on the side which our waitress told us would be only $3.70. In the end they charged me $4.99 for a tiny bowl of guac.
  
  My wife's cocktail had the same nasty shrimp and she said it had almost no flavor at all, it was like basic tomatoe juice with water with very little tomatoes juice. The color of the cocktail juice was almost white and no matter how you added lemon, salt or tapatio there was nothing to redeem the horrible quality of the cocktail.
  
  My oldest sons meal was also gross, it only comes with two tiny little shrimp for $6.99. I don't know how they chalk that up as something worth 7 bucks, but maybe it was the rice and beans that are high quality.
  
  I will give this place one star because the place was clean and so was the bathrooms. But the service was really weak and the prices of the food was too high for the extremely poor quality. So for a cocktail and a very small portion plate of fajitas and a kids plate of two shrimp and one michelada (beer with chili and lemon and tomato juice) oh and the $5 guacamole it costed $59!! Man it was so bad! . I felt so terrible paying any money to this establishment for the food I ate. I felt bamboozled, I will not be back.

  I love this place. Their ceviche de Cameron and the tostada de pulpo is freaking delicious. Their micheladas are perfect as well. I come here often. I'm pretty picky with my seafood seeing as how I worked with it for so long, but this place does it for me. I don't need to travel all the way to San Diego to fill a craving.

  We saw the charming decor of this place while hungrily driving down the PCH and quickly did a U-Turn. Cute paintings and decor inside and out. Super friendly staff in cute outfits. Very authentic Mexican food. Awesome fish and shrimp tacos. Fresh seafood, tortillas, chips, salsa, menudo (trite) on the weekend. Don't miss the flan! Comes in cheese, butterscotch, and coconut. Not inexpensive but Good service and fresh fish tacos in an authentic setting.
