The food was great, and still has that same great taste today. The owner is very cool, I like how he recognizes me even after all these years.

So glad I found Mar Y Tierra!!! Everyone was sooo nice to me even though I had a hard time remembering "sesenta" briefly (when I think in Spanish now, Japanese comes out... it's funny but it's a problem lol) and even though I'm a gringa with a basic order. I just got 1 shrimp & 1 fish taco both with avocado and a jamaica. When I tell you I ate these like I had never eaten food before... Shrimp was incredibly tender and wonderful. The fish was huge, flaky and crispy and juicy. Honestly I ate them so quickly they could've been made of liquid. But they were sooo delicious!! They included extra sauce and the green salsa wasn't too spicy for me which I so appreciate! They also included 2 limes for one of the tacos which made me think someone really loves me today :') I would definitely come back here anytime and try more things on the menu! Very very delicious!! Thank you for the delicious food and taking care of me today!!!

My bf and I stopped by Mariscos y Birrieria El Prieto on a Sunday morning and one of our favorite…read moreYouTubers suggested it. Ambiance: The place was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded. Just a heads up before you go, there is no seating. It's a standing-room-only setup with barrel tables throughout the outdoor space. You order from one of the trucks, find a place to stand, and enjoy your food. The atmosphere felt lively and authentic, making it part of the experience. Service: Service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. There was even someone helping direct parking, which made arriving and finding a spot much easier. Food: The complimentary consommé completely stole the show for me. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with chunks of seafood. Every bite had a deep, savory flavor with just the right amount of spice. It was honestly my favorite thing we tried. We ordered the Gobernador, the Negrita, and fish tacos. The Gobernador was loaded with shrimp and melted cheese, creating the perfect combination of rich, savory seafood flavor. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh and was cooked perfectly. The Negrita was another standout, piled high with shrimp, sliced avocado, and topped with an oyster that added even more fresh ocean flavor. It was served with tostadas on the side, and every bite was packed with bold seasoning, fresh seafood, and great texture. The fish taco was good and made with fresh ingredients. My bf and I are big foodies and have eaten a lot of fish tacos over the years, so we're probably tougher critics than most. While it wasn't our favorite item of the meal, it was still enjoyable, and the Gobernador and Negrita were the clear standouts for us. While the prices are a little higher, the quality, freshness, and portion sizes help justify it. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Between the flavorful seafood, and generous portions, it's definitely worth coming back again.

El Prieto (Main St, San Diego) Rating: 2.5 / 5 Stars…read more I really wanted to enjoy my visit to El Prieto, but unfortunately, the experience was a series of "almosts" that didn't quite land. Here is the breakdown of my recent meal: The Food The kitchen missed the mark on a few basics. My bistec ranchero was underwhelming; the sauce was overly "tomatoey," lacking the deep, savory complexity or spice you expect from a solid ranchero. To make matters worse, the rice served on the side was noticeably cold, which is always a disappointment. The Drinks The beverage situation was equally frustrating. I was surprised to find that the bar offers no wine options at all. I decided to pivot to an Arnold Palmer, which ended up being the worst version of the drink I've ever had--the proportions were completely off. Service & Atmosphere The service felt lacking throughout the night, with very little attention paid to the table. Most off-putting, however, is the policy stated on the menu: a 45-minute window to eat. It's hard to relax and enjoy a meal when you feel like you're being timed by the staff. Verdict Between the cold sides, a limited bar, and the rushed atmosphere created by the time limit, I can't say I'd be in a hurry to return. There are too many great spots in San Diego to settle for a 45-minute countdown.

The Vegan Shawarma here blew my mind!…read more I heard about this spot that was making some amazing veggie based middle eastern dishes and wanted to try it out. I love that they have creative vegetarian options and don't solely have falafel like most places I have visited. Here's the food breakdown of everything I tried: Vegan Shawarma Plate $20 (my fav) Vegan cream chop pita sandwich $16 Falafel Fries $13 Vegan Shawarma Egg Rolls $11 Pita Chips $3 (so crispy & well seasoned) Baklava $7 PS - I visited the South Park food truck, but they also have locations in La Mesa & Mira Mesa. This spot was featured on food network & was previously voted #1 restaurant in the country on yelp! Those are high standards that Shawarma Guys lives up to!

They do need to update their menu and pricing, it's sort of all over the place. Everything is cooked to order so it takes a minute to get your food but it comes out piping hot every time. They have a decent sized seating area that's lit up at night. You can park pretty much anywhere after the smog shop closes. There are occasionally homeless folks sleeping around the other side of the building so I wouldn't wonder around the parking lot. Stick to the food truck and seating area and you'll be fine.

Every plate comes with veggies and steamed rice, with the option to upgrade to fried rice, chicken fried rice or shrimp fried rice for an extra charge. They have daily specials; today (Monday)'s was a filet mignon plate for $15. We ordered 2 of these and upgraded to fried rice for an extra $2 per plate. They also have sauce options for $0.75, so we added on 2 ginger sauces. We got our food pretty quickly and were really pleased with all of it! The filet was tender and perfectly cooked to our preferred temperature of medium rare. The veggies were mushrooms, zucchini and onions. The fried rice was buttery and delicious. All of it was well seasoned and the ginger sauce was the perfect accompaniment. Will absolutely come back every time this truck is here! Our total for 2 filet plates, upgraded fried rice and 2 ginger sauces plus tip came to $43.

My two sons and I drove down from Encinitas just to give it a try, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The wings--fire! The tenders--fire! The shrimp--fire! The fried catfish--fire! Even the rice and gravy were fire, and the collard greens were off the hook! The cantaloupe melon refresher was insane--it had fresh shreds of cantaloupe in it, never had anything like it. Everything was so good that when they opened their brick-and-mortar location, we ordered a bunch of trays for a birthday party. Definitely check out their Instagram too--they're always posting their amazing food and hilarious stories. We'll absolutely be back!

The chicken and fish were definitely the stars of the meal. The Wings, hands down best wings in San Diego, I'll fight anyone that says otherwise lol. I also added a cornbread, and it was so good it was gone in two bites. This place deserves to be much busier because the food is outstanding. Get the word out--this was probably the best bite I had in a while.

I'm really glad we did because the food was so good that we actually came back two days in a row -- which should tell you a lot about how delicious it was. We tried a few different items, including several types of tostadas and their shrimp cocktail. Every single item we ordered was full of flavor and tasted fresh. If there's one thing I highly recommend, it's the Chula Vista Tostada -- that was easily one of my favorites. The service was good and the wait for the food wasn't long at all. We went once on Saturday and again on Sunday. The lines were pretty small when we arrived, but it definitely picked up afterward. To anyone reading this review, don't let the negative reviews stop you from trying this place. Sometimes the best way to know is to try it for yourself. Trust me when I say the seafood here is worth it -- you won't be disappointed.

After enjoying a cold beer, I asked them to make me the Mushroom and Sausage pizza baked in a red and black wood fire oven. The pizza cost $12. The pizza was quite excellent at many levels. First of all, I was very pleased with the sauce made from organic San Marzano Tomatoes. It was light but provided a great natural mild tomato flavor. I had a great balance between sweet and acidity, both being very subtle. The pizza's sausage is made by the proprietor, Mario M., and let me tell you, he makes some grand sausage. The sausage was lighter than most and not overwhelmed by herbs and seasoning. It did have a small amount of fennel seeds, but no so much that it allowed the natural pork flavor to come through nicely. The mushrooms that came with this pizza were rendered down well from baking and were tender with a good earthy flavor. The Mozzarella was fresh and the pizza came with just the right amount. I was very impressed with the pizza's crust. It was of the thinner variety but held up very well to the pizza's ingredients. Even though it was thin and had a good light crunch, it also had very good texture and where there was some sort of thickness, it had a bit of a chew.
