    Before SDSU games my boyfriend and I like to hunt for super good taco spots and this place definitely made the list. Nice variety, super seafood very well, the only thing is that this place doesn't serve alcohol, but that's just a personal preference of mine. Otherwise, a great no frills tacos spot with quick customer service, outdoor seating, and great food.

    Shrimp Tacos

    Hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in seafood ceviches! It was so good! My son ordered a Large Enamorada. I ordered Birria Ramen. My Husband ordered Shrimp Tacos. They have great tasting sauces! Every ingredients were fresh! I cannot wait to come here and go down the menu again and try everything! The servers were so nice and helpful especially on what food to order. By the time we left, a line has formed outside already and that tells me my son made the right choice for lunch!! Try it!!

    While visiting San Diego, we were seeking a place to cure our mariscos cravings and spotted this cute little establishment with ample street parking. I love that you can order at the window from the friendly staff, and that there is a modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Something that drew us to Ferchaladas was the eclectic menu with some of the freshest options. I immediately chose the Tamarindo Jicama ceviche and a birria taco for good measure. My ceviche came stacked with fresh shrimp, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and jicama with a generous toss of the tamarind sauce. The tajin on the home made tostada was a nice touch. This dish was perfection. My birria taco was phenomenal and also made to perfection. My daughter liked her Hija De Su** Madre Tostada but preferred my son in law's meal. He has a habit of always choosing the best things on any given menu! We all loved his El Prieto ceviche which came tossed in a black sauce with cucumber, red onion, tomato, and avocado. I highly suggest coming here with dining partners that love to eat so you can try a variety of dishes. I will most definitely return when in SD.

    Love this place! The food and service are always top notch easily a 10/10 The owners are incredibly kind and attentive, and Sochi always serves with so much care and the sweetest smile. The El Prieto is my go-to favorite, but honestly everything on the menu is amazing. The ambiance is lively, fun, and they even have outdoor seating. Parking can take a few extra minutes sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. Loveee this placeee!

    Birria Nachos (to-go)

    Hidden Gem Alert!!!! Must Try ASAP!!!! Randomly driving by and noticed all the benches outside were full... flipped a U-turn and went down to try it out. Ordered a Birria Nachos to go and Shrimp Taco while I waited. The taco was amazing!!! Packed with flavor, crunchy, cheesy, juicy, soooo good! They bring over 4 large salsa bottles to each table. My favorite was the Serrano salsa (green bottle)... super spicy but delicious. All of them were great! The Birria nachos were HUGE!!!! Packed with meat, crunchy nachos, cheese, Ben's, onions, etc... I was stuffed but couldn't stop eating. I didn't try them YET but a few others had ceviche's... they were stacked so high. Vibe was fun and relaxing. The service was great. They were fast and friendly. Indoor dining room was small but enough for a few small groups. Outdoor, they had a bunch of large picnic tables along the sidewalk and side of restaurant. Street parking. 100% coming back.

    Our group of 8 came here for a pre-roadtrip meal and the food was amazing! We each ordered 2-3 tacos and then shared 3 ceviches and a large shrimp and octopus fries. All the food came in generous portions. Our mistake was ordering 2-3 tacos each when we really only needed 1 with how many dishes we got to share. I got the shrimp and octopus taco and the SD taco - both were great! Can't remember what my favorite ceviche was but I thought all of them were worth getting. Staff was accommodating to our large group and were very friendly!

    Food The food is delicious!! And not too pricey! I was only able to try the birria tacos and shrimp tacos but I already want to go back! Every ingredient is fresh. The tacos are flavorful but not too heavy. Service The staff is very friendly and easy to chat with. They are very accommodating with to go boxes and sauce to go! Ambience Super clean and super cozy! There's plenty of seating inside with outdoor seating as well.

    We got the signature ceviche and both the shrimp and octopus tacos. The ceviche is huge, with all the seafood in a creamy ceviche sauce, and super delicious - signature for a reason. The tacos are hefty and flavorful as well, though the shrimp and octopus were both slightly over. Sauces were tasty. All in all very solid mariscos spot and will have to come back to try the birria as well!

    Birria Fries with Shrimp
    Javier N.

    I gotta say it's the best birria I've ever eaten! Now add the fries and shrimp, just became the best combination of surf and turf. Great service too by a young lady named Liz and a super friendly waiter Uriel. I will definitely be coming back regularly to this place!!! A MUST TRY!! Only down side they don't sell alcohol but the aguas frescas next door are bomb too!!

    Shrimp & Birria Taco
    Marcie L.

    I came here on a Saturday right before closing, and the place was pretty empty. There was just one family finishing up as I arrived. Parking is street parking only, but I got lucky and found a spot on a nearby side street. They're cash only, but they also accept Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. It was surprisingly chilly inside. It was about 57° outside, so I'm not sure why the AC was blasting. Cell service is pretty bad inside, so if you're eating solo, don't expect to doom scroll or send texts. My food came out in about 10 minutes. I ordered: Shrimp taco: Absolutely delicious. The shrimp had great flavor and were piled on generously. Birria taco: Crispy, fresh, and loaded with meat. They bring out four different sauces, though none are labeled. Still, they really elevate the tacos. One downside is that they don't offer free water. You have to buy a bottled water for $2, which feels a bit steep. Overall, the staff was very friendly and the prices were reasonable. $4 for the birria taco and $7 for the shrimp taco. Definitely quality food.

    Barria taco with cheese
    Kia S.

    I don't normally sit in the restaurant to write, until now! Small gem, located on a relaxed busy street, a mix of homes and businesses. Parking is limited, not like you won't find something but be mindful to start looking. A decision was hard to make, so many smiling faces and delicious plates. I came at a good time, one of the owners was there running the cashier and helped me make a decision. I went with Our Famous "Hija de su P^+@ Madre Tostada" (yes that's how it's spelled) and barria taco with cheese. Both hit different! I felt myself being transported. This is just bomb dot com good. Another way you know its good. They are open til sold out or 6pm, whichever comes first. I sat near some regulars who come every single Sunday. Yep, I will be back.

    Taco birria, octopus tacos (2), SD taco, Cali taco and yellowtail taco
    Andrés M.

    Best tacos in San Diego. The tacos are big with very generous portions of meat, lots of flavor in the sauces with a hint of spice. They took longer to cook but, the wait was well worth it! The restaurant is small and it takes cash only and the service was great. The ambiance is of a family restaurant with a very cool mural painted outside. I saw other people's orders and the plates were impressive. Next time I go there I'm going to try one of the ceviches.

    The BOMBEST Mom n Pop seafood/Mariscos joint in SD and beyond!!! From basic to Boujie taste this spot has it all. Been coming here since it opened and haven't looked back since, definitely on the rotation!!! You're greeted and served by the owners who are awesomely courteous, respectful and give you guidance on their dishes. Had the Famous Hija Tostada, the combo cocktail, and the Birria taco and they were ALL TOP TIER!!! Tables inside or outside for the weather, to suit your comfort level. #mariscosgroceros for the WIN!!!!!

The inside was nearly fully booked, but we were able to grab a table on the patio, which worked out great. There was also open seating at the bar. We started with the Brussels sprouts and fries. The Brussels sprouts were good--my fiancé enjoyed them more than I did, but I found them a bit underwhelming. The fries were your standard skinny fries, decent overall but slightly over-salted. For a cold dish, we shared the Wagyu tartare, which unfortunately was the biggest letdown of the night. It was overwhelmingly heavy on ginger, shallots, and vinaigrette--so much so that you could barely taste the beef. The flavors were intensely salty, acidic, and overpowering. It also came with crispy fried chips, which only added to the heaviness. We're not the type to send food back, but it was honestly difficult to get through--we ended up drinking multiple bottles of water just to balance it out. On the drinks side, though, they really delivered. I ordered the Wild Honey and my fiancé had the Old Fashioned--both were excellent. The portions were solid (not overly diluted with ice), and the flavors were well-balanced and enjoyable. Overall, I'd consider coming back for drinks, especially given the ambiance and quality of cocktails. As for the food, based on this experience, it's not something I'd return for. Still, it's a nice spot if you're looking for a casual drink in a good atmosphere

I parked on the street close to the dinner spot I went to and then walked over to Charade. Ambiance (5/5): Charade is a speakeasy so here's your clue. It's located inside Balboa. Look for the room with the arcade games and you're on the right track. Once you enter the speakeasy, you'll immediately be impressed with the old school charm. It seats roughly 20-30 people and there's a bar on one end and a stage on the other end. Old school red curtains add to the vibe. And here's the best part. On Mondays, it's jazz night. Local musicians will play which makes for a great time. Service (3/5): There was one bartender working when we were there. Overall, she provided pretty good service. There was one comment she made which rubbed me the wrong way but no biggie. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so were on a liquid diet. I did notice that they have a few snacks available like popcorn. Drinks (4.5/5): When you think of speakeasies, you think of elevated cocktails. I look for creativity and an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients. The menu here, while not huge, has some interesting options. Outside of the menu itself, the prices are reasonable (especially for California). And they make you stiff drinks which is always appreciated. Taking into account the cocktails and the ambiance, Charade is an awesome laid-back speakeasy. Make sure to stop by on a Monday for jazz night. That takes things up a notch.
