Mr. Pulpo Seafood Grill - Richmond

I hope you're not closed for good! I've had some of the best seafood here, and the portion sizes are huge. The ceviche is always fresh, and the octopus is consistently delicious. This place is truly a gem in Richmond—so underrated—and it would be a shame to see it go.

The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was ideal for both lunch and dinner. I can't wait for our next visit. The grilled octopus was absolutely amazing!

We also tried the grilled octopus (which was good, but I’d suggest asking for it without sauce), the fried octopus (very tasty!), and the calamari (unfortunately not good). Thankfully, we arrived just in time for happy hour. The adults enjoyed refreshing mojitos and frozen strawberry margaritas, while the kid had a virgin frozen strawberry margarita. I highly recommend this place!

Food i ordered a mixed quesadilla. I wanted steak and shrimp mix but he ended up giving me steak and chicken. The quesadilla was very greasy so I ate a lot of the free chips to counter the grease somehow. I ordered a strawberry margarita on the rocks but it came frozen. The margarita was very good and worth trying again. Overall the food looked very good but just didn 't taste great to me. I wouldn 't order a quesadilla again. If I come back I would get something different to eat and get margaritas again.Service besides the staff getting my order wrong, they got my friend 's order wrong as well. We pointed at the items we wanted off the menu and things were still lost in translation. My friend ordered an appetizer but they served her the full meal version and she didn 't realize the problem until we got the bill. The staff was very friendly and gave us plenty of chips and salsa for a table of 6. Pro: nice staff willing to explain menu items Con: forgetting to follow up and half way doing orders correctlyAmbiance: I feel indifferent. The place wasn 't decorated much to be a specific theme/consistent recognizable theme. The music was good and wasn 't too loud. It was loud enough to be heard during conversation breaks and low enough for people to talk without yelling.

Was in search of a new seafood restaurant and glad I found them. FYI they specialize in octopus as a cuisine but offer other items as well. The food was so good I personally thanked the chef. My new little spot
