    Seating area
    Rebecca J.

    Went here for lunch the ceviche tostada el prieto was really good and had a bit of a spicy kick to it they also have lots of salsas for you to add to it. The service was prompt they brought our food out at reasonable time. The ambiance is casual and plenty of benches inside and outside. Highly recommend for the mariscos will be back to try some of their other menu items yum!

    Ceviche

    I love myself some ceviche, and was told to try out this spot. The inside is cozy, but during that day, there was plenty of seating inside and out. Service was friendly, and explained to us the spice levels to give us a heads up. Their portions are huge, and the seafood was fresh. Really enjoyed this place.

    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.

    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.

    El Prieto

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    The tacos were so good! I wish the salsa was spicier but they gave us a few different ones to try and they all had good flavor. The tostada was a huge portion! We tried it because it was most popular but I still am not a huge fan of octopus so i think next time I'm gonna try the El Verde. The tostada itself was really good and so was the sauce.

    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!

    Jannah N.

    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.

    Birria Fries

    Amazing food, place was busy but they kept the line moving. Also, food came in fairly quick and staff were on top of having tables cleared. I had birria fries and they were a 9/10

    Jenny Z.

    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!

    We loved the ceviche, and everything we ordered was well prepared and flavorful. The service was friendly, and we had a great experience overall. We will definitely be returning when we're in San Diego. Be mindful that it is cash only.

Other than that inconvenience, the bar itself was beautifully decorated and very on-theme. The drinks were very much giving "tiki bar but in space" and were veryyyy strong. They have an alcohol strength spectrum on their menu so you can guide yourself through the drinks. We got drinks that weren't even on the strong side of the scale and they were still pretty strong. This would be a great place for a pregame for sure! They even have some food and seasonal soft serve other than their normal drinks. Overall, great service, strong drinks, and fun vibes.

They have a ton of options, all sorts of alcohol bases depending on what your vice is, they also have non-alcoholic drinks for those so inclined.

It's always fun when someone orders a bowl and the room shakes and the lights flash with thunder and lightning adding a bit of excitement for first timers. Just to recap: Don't get mad if you have to wait and did not make a reservation. While they have lots of options, most drinks and all specialties are Tiki Drinks. Tiki drinks can be strong, mind yourself. If a place like this is not your vibe, that is fine, head back into Craft & Commerce, make room for others who are waiting to get in, just have fun!

The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.

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.
