WATSONDecember 31, 2015Apparently taco Tuesday ain't no joke around here. There was a line out the door when we got there. Shrimp tacos were amazing. I want more of them right now. The Bar is pretty cool.
Mohammed Abu HajarMarch 11, 2020the Guacamole was outstanding and one of the best i tried in lifetime but thats it, i order four different kinds of tacos with fried and Grilled Shrimp, beef, chicken it was old and cold and tasteless
Lyndsi WinerSeptember 10, 2014Great Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour specials! Waitstaff a bit aloof but, the food and prices are decent enough not to matter much anyways. I would never spend full price but specials worth it
Kevin DulinDecember 24, 2019The shrimp enchiladas were tasty! Service was a little too quick though and it felt rushed.
Fon TaboApril 4, 2012Tuesday: Street Tacos 1$: chicken, pork, carne asada. chipotle shrimp: 1.5. comes with sides to pair with! Fish Taco is awesome.They have their own shuttle and is sister to Wold Famous.
Alana WallaceJuly 18, 2013Ordered the Surf & Turf Taco Plate (shrimp & steak tacos). The shrimp had good flavor but they only put 2 pieces of shrimp on it and it was smothered in cabbage! Steak taco was barely edible..marg=ok
Sean DevlinDecember 15, 2014Half priced apps on wed is the absolute best. Try to get Jackson as your bartender - hilarious.
Fried avocado tacos are delicious, slap some of the unique yellow hot sauce they have and your golden!
Leila SamiiOctober 29, 2014The Drunken Mermaid makes you feel like you're swimming! Try it, it's phenom.
MEHMET BASEROctober 25, 2012Good inexpensive mexican. Shrimp diablo and beef fajitas also satistactory. Kids friendly
Jackey MarsJune 26, 2011Try the la paloma drink....a tequila cocktail w/ grapefruit soda...refreshing and not as sweet or hopefully calorie loaded as a margarita!!
A.July 6, 2012Great service @ the bar. A fun place to spend the afternoon with friends in Pacific Beach
The flautas, and shrimp diablo tempura are delicious! Half off on Wednesday too.
Bort RSeptember 28, 2011$1 street tacos every day from 4-close... and they're bomb. Fish tacos avail on Tuesdays.
Jeremy SilversteinAugust 21, 2012Habenero BBQ ribs are the bizness!! Maybe the only thing hotter was Brooke, our waitress ;-)
Lorrie VotrianOctober 22, 2011You have to get the dangerously spicy margarita it will rock your world
Madeline CooleyApril 22, 2014It was just ok. Prices high for what you get. Lobster bisque soup was good. Fish taco and burrito could have had more taste a little bland
rebecca cAugust 23, 2013Came for taco Tues. My friend got a fork with something crusty in the middle. Ordered a margarita that didnt taste like it had alcohol in it at all.Not really impressed with this place.not coming back
Leah WashingtonFebruary 10, 2013Don't get the Tequila lobster bisque. It's way to sweet and very watery.
Derek Hays🍻July 18, 2013Ordered the lobster tacos, 2 small pieces the size of my thumb in each taco and lacked flavor! Marg= lame watered down. For the price Ugh never again.
Nicholas TeruiJuly 25, 2011Salmon was well seasoned but dry. Salsa was good. Sea Bass was poorly seasoned and not worth the 17 bucks
Kristin W.December 12, 2012'twas delicious BUT their fish caused me extreme food poisoning for the next 3 days. careful!
