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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Hands down the BEST CEVICHE/ SEAFOOD TACOS I've ever had!!! Ordered the Ceviche (there's multiple flavors to choose from but went with the standard), and BOMB.COM! I shared a small with my fiance and loved it! The portions are so generous and the tostado that comes with it is cooked to perfection. The shrimps were tasty too! I tried the birria taco, shrimp taco and fish taco. I loved the shrimp and fish. I could have lived without the birria but the con somme sauce it was cooked in was good, but the meat was still dry. The seafoods were all fresh and very flavorful! There's outdoor and indoor seating, but people are pretty mindful since it is a tight space. This place only accepts cash, Zelle or Venmo! read more

Cash only but they take Zelle and Venmo. Delicious!!! We ordered the following: - camarones verdes (raw), large - camarones enamorados (cooked), large - 3 shrimp tacos - 2 tilapia tacos - 4 birria tacos - 4 drinks (they did not have coke, unsure if they ran out or they're solely Pepsi.) The tacos were normal sized tortillas, and they were filling. Most of us were good with just one taco and shared the shrimp plates (we ordered both large.) The birria tacos were labeled as "Asian" so we took it as it'd be Asian fusion but they tasted like normal (still delicious) birria. They had 4 salsa options that they bring to the table. The camarones verdes had a good spice to them and could tell the shrimp was good quality with how soft/buttery they were and tasted clean. Would definitely come back and recommend to others. Street parking only, not too hard to find. They have one bathroom inside the kitchen towards the back. We were 6 people and spend $140 with tip. read more

Wow this place was so good. Our group had the verde and mango wango ceviche which they also offered to do half cooked half raw ceviche which was great. The mango wango was amazing, sweet, spicy, and refreshing. Also tried the octopus and shrimp taco. Hands down my favorite shrimp taco. Also came with 4 salsas/sauces to mix and match with. Cash or venmo and there was both a little inside and outside seating. Go to the next door fruit place for drinks! read more

My husband saw this Birria and seafood restaurant on Instagram and wanted to try it. We had a fave Birria spot down the street but they went out of business sadly so we been searching. This place is also down the street from my house so convenient. My son and husband loved their Birria tacos. Today our second visit my husband got Birria fries and he is obsessed lol I got a shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was amazing. Big portions. Our new go too spot for Birria tacos.

This is must try spot. They have some of the best ceviche and tacos! The Enamorado Ceviche with creamy cilantro citrus sauce with tomato, avocado, onion, cilantro and olive oil was THE best. I highly recommend this unique dish. They'll ask you if you want it raw or cooked, and we got cooked and the shrimp was tender. We got the small which was generously portioned and was enough to feed two people. We also got the QuesaBirria Taco which was perfect. It's up there with the best birria you can get anywhere in San Diego. This establishment is located in a humble neighborhood where the parking is a bit tight. Note that they only take cash or Venmo so come prepared! Also be sure to check their hours before visiting. I'll definitely be back here for some more ceviche. I want to try the El Prieto in black sauce or El Verde next time but dang...the Enamorado was so good it'll be hard to try something new. I guess I'll have to bring a crowd next time so I can try lots of other dishes! This place is a keeper and a go-to spot for some amazing Mexican food! read more

I don't like to write bad reviews but after spending $60+ and getting overcooked seafood and a stomach ache, I felt inclined. We went in yesterday around 5pm and ordered the octopus taco, SD taco and shrimp taco and everything was overcooked and rubbery. We left with stomach aches. The salsas didn't add any flavor either. The meat on top of the seafood did not pair well together. The ceviche was good in my opinion but my partner said it was too sweet. I'm super disappointed as we went $60+ here and the seafood was so bad we only had a few bites and had to throw the rest away and felt unwell for hours afterward. read more

Some of the best, if not, arguably, the best Mexican seafood I've had in San Diego. So far on my first visit I tried the green ceviche, mango wango ceviche, & octopus tacos. Every single thing we tried was outstanding and already looking forward to going again lol. Customer service was exceptional as well, nothing to complain on that front. The ambiance is quaint, with indoor seating as well as outdoor patio seating. Not very spacious, so it might not be ideal for big groups. read more

This hidden gem is a must if you are looking for authentic Mexican style mariscos in the San Diego area. The owner and head chef Fernando will even come out and talk to the patrons and is enthusiastic about telling you how he makes his signature dishes from ceviche's, seafood tacos with his special sauces, and his shrimp and octopus cocktail is to die for! I tried two different ceviches and the mango ceviche is ! It has just the right amount of heat to not overpower the flavor of the seafood! I'm so happy my bride and I found this spot during our visit to San Diego. Will definitely be coming back very soon! 100% highly recommend! read more

Went here with a big group so we all got a bit of everything. Had the shrimp tacos and shrimp cocktail myself. Tacos were delicious! Shrimp cocktail was gross. Shrimp did not have flavor I added idk how much salt and still nothing. A friend had what I guess was aguachiles but wasn't called that. Same thing no flavor whatsoever. Ordered fish ceviche to go and again flavorless . Guy at the register was pretty sassy. A friend ordered a fish taco and was served a shrimp taco when asked to take it back and bring her the shrimp Taco she wanted the guy stated " I repeated the order and you said fish" and didnt take it back. Pretty low customer service on his part. Highly overpriced. Even charged us $2 for a cup of ice. Not worth the hype . read more

Stopped by this spot and wow.... I got the shrimp taco and it was stacked with all the good stuff -- crunchy cabbage, fresh cilantro, pickled onions, and a sauce situation that deserves its own fan club. The tortilla was perfectly crispy on the edges, like it just came off a hot plancha. The shrimp ceviche in the cilantro enamorada sauce was a sweet surprise . I didn't know what to expect at first but it was honestly one the best ceviche I've tasted in a while, it was refreshing to try whole new flavors. For salsas they've got a trio of sauces that could honestly be the main event -- creamy, tangy, spicy... I had to try them all. The vibe inside is chill, the place is spotless, and the service is quick and friendly. It's the kind of place where you come for "just one taco" and leave plotting your next visit before you even get in the car. read more

A diamond in the rough of Imperial Avenue which I almost want to gate keep. The freshest ceviche/ aquachile you can find! Portions are also ginormous for the price. One comes here strictly for seafood even if they have a GIANT Birria/ Quesa Birria Taco for $4-5, but honestly, other than the size for the price, the meat is just mid. Stick to the mariscos -- ceviches, shrimp cocktails, and seafood tacos -- and you are golden. Enjoy your mariscos inside, seating which is plentiful and always kept clean. They do not have the sauces on the table and the workers will bring it out to you. Inside can get a little stuffy and they do have outside picnic benches -- where you can drink in the smog and vehicular rumble of Imperial Ave -- but only some with an umbrella. Regardless, everything should be consumed on-site in its freshest state. Now the cravings for mariscos have been activated! read more

We randomly came across this place and decided to try their famous ceviche. The taste was good, but I was shocked to find they had mixed cooked shrimp with raw shrimp. Unfortunately, it gave me food poisoning -- my stomach hurt badly all night and I kept feeling like I was going to throw up. I just hope I won't end up needing to go to the hospital. read more

Great food but be warned they like to randomly close early, sometimes two hours early. When I asked if they can update their closing times they responded with saying they always close at their set time. Its really inconvenient if you're traveling or going out of your way. read more

They serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks alongside a growing menu of vegan bites. They do have a seasonal cult favorite: savory donuts. If they're in season, do not leave without trying them. Note that there are no clear signs marking the entrance done intentionally as a nod to the speakeasy vibe. Once inside, the spaceship immersion is taken to another level. And if you're lucky, they'll trigger the spaceship lights-and-sounds sequence, which to me resembles a ship under attack. It's incredibly cool. The ambiance is fantastic, and so is the food and drinks everything here delivers. Do pay attention to the alcohol content of each drink, as some run quite strong. Reservations are strongly encouraged, as they book up early and walk-ins may not be accommodated.

This was my second visit to Mothership, and while I appreciate the unique vegan speakeasy concept,…read morethis experience didn't quite live up to the excitement of my first visit. The atmosphere is definitely creative and fun, and I like that there are several food options along with a large selection of cocktails and mocktails. On this visit, we tried the rice dish and the pancake, and while both were okay, the flavors seemed just a little off compared to what I was expecting. The cocktails were also much stronger than anticipated. We sat at the bar this time instead of at a table, and the seating felt very cramped. The bar stools were so close to the standing area that it was difficult to even pull out a chair without people brushing past. Because of that, we ended up finishing our food and drinks and leaving pretty quickly instead of lingering and enjoying the experience. Mothership has a really cool concept and a unique vibe, but for me, it's more of a place to try once in a while rather than somewhere I'd be rushing back to visit.

His questions guided my indecision towards a Berkshire Old Fashioned that was fantastic despite my fumbling to get there. With the warm up round over and the old fashioned loosening up my creativity, round two was set to be a knockout. I love coffee (specifically strong espresso drinks), so I asked for a strong, coffee infused, punchy cocktail, but with a different base of alcohol from the old fashioned. What came out was the best cocktail I will probably ever have in my life. The bourbon cocktail with coffee liqueur (and a number of other garnishes I will never remember) hit the bullseye. Flavorful, strong, bold, delicious all at the same time. Unfortunately (?), this was a noble experiment so I'll forever be chasing the white whale of what this drink was. But that's the allure.

Eggroll burger (10/5) - what an innovative concept - egg roll filling with the egg roll skin in crisp layers in the bun too. It has crunch, umami, a little sweetness. SO GOOD. They were out of both gin drinks I was interested in (Starspawn and Spinal Tap) so I tried the Palace of Certainty since it looked interesting. I thought there would some savoriness to it from the basil and peppercorn but it was mainly just a sweet drink with not much complexity (3/5). They were very busy on a Saturday night despite us having a reservation (apparently kitchen was very backed up). First sat at the bar and then got seated at our table maybe 20 min after our reservation time. Got a bottle of water but no cups so we had to ask for cups. And then our food came maybe 40 min after ordering. But the seating arrangement is just bad. The table was worse than the bar. We regretted moving. If you are unlucky enough to get seated at the big long table as a two-person party then you have to sit across from them and it gets hard to hear each other because you're sitting right next to other groups too. It's a bad environment for a date night. I haven't had that level packed into a restaurant since New York! Also, the lighting at night is all weird and dim. We even saw the group next to us shine flashlights on their food and request more lighting.

I am so sad because I can't remember the name of our waitress! She was amazing because she was so ON POINT with everything -- from knowing the details of each menu item, to knowing what "medium+" is for a steak. She was attentive and amazing and shoutout to her! The food and tiny 'tinis were delicious! The steak and fries were such a good deal for $25.

When I'm in San Diego, I have to come back.

Once seated, though, we sat for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I eventually had to flag someone down just to get water. We then waited even longer for our server to take our order. Because service was so slow, I ordered all of our drinks and food at once since I wasn't sure when we'd see our server again. What stood out even more was watching a couple seated next to us receive immediate attention. They were greeted, served water right away, and the woman was offered a purse hook. Meanwhile, we were sitting there with our purses shoved beside us and weren't offered the same courtesy. It may seem like a small detail, but combined with the lack of attention, it made us feel overlooked. The drinks came out quickly, and the chicken satay and mac and cheese were decent. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out food-wise either. The highlight of the evening was definitely the live music. The performers were fantastic and created a great atmosphere that honestly was the only enjoyable part of the evening.

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.

It's difficult to even get into the parking lot, which is in a tight strip that's in between the sidewalk where the restaurant's building was located and Harbor Drive, which has its own navigating issues with the street also being the main drag to have access to the airport. I had to circle around the area using PCH to get back onto Harbor, then approach the restaurant from the north. When I got into the "lot," I had to flag down a couple of valets to ask if they had any open spots. One of them told me to circle back around AGAIN to get an open spot. I decided to heck with that and just pulled into a parking garage on Ash St. just 50 yards away from the restaurant. Once inside, we were able to get into a private dining area for my mom's party. The eating space was nice and spacious, acommodating for our party of at least 20 people. The restaurant is also very nice and clean. The entrees and appetizers did seem like standard wedding fare, though. I ordered the braised shortrib, and while it was good, I couldn't escape the impression that it was something that one would normally eat at a wedding reception. The beef was soft and tender, the mashed potatoes creamy, and the carrots were cooked very well. I enjoyed the strawberry lemonade cocktail and appreciated that they reduced the vodka content so that I wouldn't get so buzzed from one drink. Eventually, I had to order a regular lemonade though, which I did enjoy. It was sweet and not overly sour. Also one point in their favor was the clam chowder starter course. That also had a little sweet flavor to it, which was definitely preferable to having an overly salty taste. The bits of bacon in the chowder helped to cut down the sweetness. The desserts were pretty standard fare. I liked the chocolate brownie more than the raspberry cheesecake. I will also note that the two servers we had for the dinner party were terrific.

Ferchalada's offers a unique culinary experience with its focus on ceviche and birria. My recent visit left a memorable impression, and I'd like to share the highlights. Dishes Tried: * Tuna Fries: A delightful fusion of crispy fries topped with tender tuna, creating a satisfying mix of textures and flavors. * Rojo Shrimp Cocktail: Fresh, succulent shrimp bathed in a tangy tomato-based sauce, perfectly seasoned to highlight the natural sweetness of the shrimp. * Verde Ceviche: A refreshing and zesty dish with a blend of seafood marinated in lime juice and herbs, offering a vibrant and invigorating taste. Service and Ambiance: The service at Ferchalada's is efficient and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is casual and relaxed, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Payment Options: It's worth noting that Ferchalada's only accepts cash and Venmo. While this may be a minor inconvenience for some, it's a small price to pay for the quality of food and service provided. Parking: Parking is available on the street, which can be convenient but may require a bit of searching during peak hours. Portions and Value: The portions are generous, ensuring that you leave satisfied. The big portions make it an excellent value for money, especially considering the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Overall Experience: Ferchalada's delivers on both taste and portion size. If you're in the mood for hearty, flavorful ceviche and birria, this place should be on your list. Just remember to bring cash or be ready to use Venmo. read more

The birria queso tacos were an absolute revelation. These tacos come griddled to golden perfection, oozing with melty cheese that fuses to the crispy tortilla. Each bite delivers that satisfying crunch, followed by a rush of savory, juicy birria beef. You've got a full-on flavor explosion--bold, slightly smoky, and impossibly addictive. It's messy. It's indulgent. It's everything a great taco should be and more. Birria Tacos: The traditional birria tacos didn't hold back either. No cheese here, just a perfect showcase of the meat and broth. The slow-cooked birria is melt-in-your-mouth tender, deeply seasoned, and marinated to perfection. Paired with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, these tacos strike a beautiful balance between richness and freshness. Birria Fries: Now, let's talk about the surprise star: the birria fries. If you think fries can't be elevated to gourmet levels, think again. These fries are piled high with juicy birria meat, a generous drizzle of creamy cheese sauce, and finished off with a handful of fresh toppings--cilantro, onions, and jalapeños. The crispy fries soak up the flavor-packed juices without going soggy, creating an outrageous combination of textures and tastes. Great staff and service, will be coming back here when in town! read more

We had a really disappointing experience here. The staff never greeted or acknowledged us when we arrived, which already set the wrong tone. Service felt unfriendly and inattentive throughout. On top of that, the food made us sick afterward, which was very concerning. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place based on our experience. read more
