    Our spot on Del Beach right in front of Hotel Coronado.

    The only reason we came to this beach is to reminisce our wedding after 1 year. We found a great little picnic bench but sadly the bartender was very rude. It was our first time buying some drinks here and if most definitely be our last, the Surf Bar bartender made sure of that. Luckily the weather is perfect and our beach lounging neighbors are so friendly. It's also good to see careful social distancing and to actually see people's faces after so long.

    Island Breeze cocktail ($22). Pic looks great, but it tasted horrible (overly sweet/weird fruit & alc combination)

    Not worth it. I got the Island Breeze cocktail and it was overly sweet while also having an unpleasant alcohol taste at the end (aka the combination of the fruitiness and the alcohol just didn't go well together). What's more, the drink costed $22. Although drinking cocktails on the beach seemed ideal and the picture that I took looks beautiful, it was a horrible experience; i.e. sand got in the drink, the drink itself was unpleasant to down, and it was expensive. Unless you desperately need this picture for an "I'm so cool IG post," this place is a "no-go"

    Cali vibe. I promise that the bar was playing The Beach Boys.

    Nice location. Nice view. Laid back beach vibe and atmosphere with California prices. Located close to historic Hotel del Coronado. 1). Drinks. Limited selection of wine and spirits. Limited food options. Very expensively priced. Ordered regular red wine and it cost about a bottle of a decent red. 2). Customer Service. Good and laid back. Goes well with the area. Very quick and attentive. 3). Atmosphere. Beach vibe. You will get the vacation feel while chilling out. This is what makes this location very good. 4). Others. Unless you are staying in the hotel, there is very limited parking. You can use their beach tables and chairs with your order. Can get cold when the wind is howling. Good vibe. Go here for the atmosphere. 3* because this is an average location really. It reminds me of a vacation without being on vacation. 2 less * for the very expensive price and for very limited parking.

    Absolutely rude! Martin and Tyler gave poor service with a bad attitude. Not accommodating in any way. When we went back to the bar 10 minutes after ordering a couple drinks, waiting in line again, Martin's response was "What? I did not take your order man!" Go somewhere else. Vacationers want to have a good time not feel disregarded by nasty employees! Clearly they don't want business. In addition the served a nasty grisly taco. See the photo.

    Shrimp tacos were great. Yellow tail was a bit dry and the drinks are ok. Only seating is in the sun. Quick spot for a bite and a drink. Nothing really more. Not too exciting, but not bad at all.

    I love you San Diego!!! We are seriously blessed to be living in America's Finest City. Perfect day to bake under the sun with Ramona! had lots of fun tanning in our itty bitty bikinis on the sand. then we continued baking on the fake grass located in front of hotel del where we watched children play and couples be romantic. So cute and relaxing.

    Hands down my favorite bar in San Diego. Where else can you bring your pup to have a drink, watch the sunset and listen to live music at the beach? Love Jeff and Steve and they are always taking care of us even on the busiest days. Ask Jeff to make you a margarita and don't miss out on the shrimp taco either.

    We are staying at the Glorietta Bay Inn in Coronado right across from Hotel Del. You don't have to be a guest of the hotel to use this beach set-up service! Full bar with yummy specialty cocktails available plus a limited beach menu (see pic). You can choose the "bed" half-moon canopy or the two single lounge chair canopy. Loved the bed! We played cards and relaxed! Felt private! They also provide beach toys for the kids as an added service.

We were given complimentary chips and salsa and then ordered some drinks that came with watermelon garnish. We shared the spicy mango ceviche and a cheese crisp for our appetizers. Both were delicious! The cheese crisp was very interesting! We opted for the spicy tiger shrimp fajitas for our entree. It's served with blistered peppers, charred onions, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa fresca, sour cream, choice of beans and tortillas. It was very tasty! We ended up trying frozen margarita and an agua fresca as well. The frozen margarita is so refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake and it was the perfect ending to our dinner.

The vibe of the restaurant was pretty dope. They have an outdoor seating area blended with indoor seating. The decor was stunning. I loved the wallpaper and light fixtures. The tunes were bumpin'. The restaurant wasn't surprisingly too busy and was pretty family-friendly. I was so excited to take a bite into my first CA tacos! As I settled in and opened the menu, full transparency: I was shocked to see the "happy hour specials: $7 tacos"... regularly $14!? Thinking these HAD to be next-level incredible, I stopped judging and ordered two "Birria" tacos, two "traditional Carnitas" tacos, and a "crispy shell Ground Beef" taco. We paired our tacos with their "Classic" house Margarita. Chips and salsa were brought to the table with our drinks, and we enjoyed those for a bit before the food came out. I wish I were writing this to report that I had the best tacos of my life, but sadly, that's not the case. The Birria taco had an excessive amount of untrimmed fat in the meat, which made each bite unpleasant and forced me to spit out pieces I couldn't chew. This made the overall texture unappealing and the experience disappointing. Not my preferred way to enjoy my tacos. I don't believe this was an issue of happy hour pricing, but rather poor food preparation. I was only able to finish one taco and took the other to-go. As for the traditional carnitas taco, it was okay but lacked anything that set it apart. I say this with kindness, but if you've had a TB crunchy taco supreme, you've tried this restaurant's crispy shell ground beef taco. The classic margaritas were strong and well made. We thoroughly enjoyed them! If you asked me, would I go back for seconds? I'd likely not reorder the tacos. For the price, I expected higher-quality preparation and presentation; instead, it fell short. Personally, I'm glad I visited during Happy Hour. I'd file this one under cool place for drinks and a light bite, if you must.

The ordering and beer shack is made to look appropriately rustic and the sign post is appropriately thematic, see my pics. As you can see from my pic I was lucky enough to be there at a slow time. My canned beer came out in so-so time. But the staff was somewhat harried and short tempered. I ordered my fish taco, and I didn't realize it was made and had to be picked up at a different shack - which is around the corner from where I placed my order. So they had to tell me twice (I didn't see the small white sign down the alley: so you don't get snapped at I have a pic of where the food is prepped and picked up.) There were 2 taco orders ahead of mine, yet it took 15 minutes to serve my taco. I'm glad I waited there - they yell your name at the alley, I'm not sure it could be heard at the beach and over the live music. Please take a look at my $8.50 fish taco. While there was a plentiful amount of fish, the seasoning was incredibly salty. Also the fish was tough. I did liked the guac on top and rest the was fresh.
