    Menu happy hour too
    Diane S.

    Tonight had a jumbo shrimp plate for dinner and it was outstanding! Fresh jumbo shrimp in garlic butter with fresh vegetables and crispy onion rings! So so good! Ordered at the bar and food came hot and well prepared. The bar is chill and relaxed; you can watch the padres game too! Servers are friendly even when super busy. Great local eatery!

    Oysters

    I've been here a few times. It's always okay. It's a bit pricey for the food and being counter service. The deal for oysters on Thursdays is what gets me there but often sold out of a several types of oyster. One thing I love about it here is $5 corkage fee!

    Came in to point loma seafood with my cousin for lunch after visiting my uncle in a nearby assisted living facility. My cousin ordered the fish platter, I had a sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder and a small shrimp plate. Lots of food, everything served hot,and tasted good. Ordered at the counter and paid for our lunch. Then our number was called after about 10 minutes, back to the counter to pick up our tray. It was a nice day so we sat at an outside table to eat. Next to San Diego bay and adjacent to point loma Sportfishing landing. Prices were a little high but not astronomical by any means. I'll return.

    Stopped in Sunday at noon and had some fish tacos outside. It is a nice place for some fish tacos. It seems like it can get very busy but it was medium when we go there. Came down from Cadrillo and finished of some good shrimp and fish n chips. It is very open and relaxed and nice spot for a Sunday lunch.

    We really enjoyed our meal here. Great seafood and a good tap list. I probably would not get my fish blackened again - it was really spicy! Overall a lovely meal with friendly workers.

    My college daughter wanted to come since she was in town. We arrived a little after they opened. I ordered mahi mahi tacos and wanted oysters but they were out. My husband got the fish and chips and clam chowder. Between my 2 daughters, shrimp ceviche, elote tacos, calamari and spicy Dorado taco. My tacos were lacking fish and had lots of toppings. The clam chowder wad creamy and delicious. The shrimp ceviche was great!

    I've been to the Fish Shop twice so far and loved both visits. It's a dog friendly spot where locals and nearby base sailors enjoy food and drinks. Street parking in and around the neighborhood makes it easy to find a place to square away the vehicle. Orders are placed and paid upfront. The items will be brought over to the table. It can get extremely busy over the weekends and other typical peak hours. I found visiting off peak hours on a Tuesday best. There will be Taco Tuesday deals and it's far less crowded if visited before 5pm. The service quality can vary depending on who is working that day as with anywhere you go and eat. I loved the Fish Shop shrimps that was marinated in savory seasoning. I am glad I ordered it with a side salad because it made for a far more filling meal. The onion rings were melt in the mouth but crispy kind aka my favorite kind!! The clam chowder was a bit chalky and lumpy for my liking, but many others love them. I am looking forward to revisiting in the future.

    Point Loma Fish Shop has been one of my favorite places when I have visited San Diego and now as I have moved here. My husband and I's go to is always their ceviche. We love getting the mix of the shrimp and mahi mahi. It is incredible every single time! Service has always been fast even when it is busy. Everything I have tried here has been really good from the calamari to the coconut shrimp to fish tacos to fish and chips. We love to be able to sit outside as we eat amazing seafood! They have a loyalty program too that we just joined which I am excited for. If you love seafood and you're in the Point Loma area or in San Diego in general, then you should definitely check out Point Loma Fish Shop! You can't go wrong with anything you order from here.

    I got the mahi mahi sandwich here. It was a satisfying meal. The fish was cooked just right and very juicy. Also the fries were perfect. I also enjoyed reading their signage that explained all the different fishes and what they tasted like lol - quite educational.

    Fish and chips, large order of onion rings, coconut shrimp, clam chowder.
    Courtney L.

    This place never disappoints! Went a little before 12 on Saturday for lunch. They fill up quickly. Fish and chips are the clear favorite but we loved everything else too! Onion rings were crispy and light. My sister wanted a 2nd order of coconut shrimp. Open seating, loved be able to people watch. Bathrooms were spotless as well. Can't wait to go back!

    Scallop plate, sea bass plate, Mahi Mahi plate, clam chowder

    Friendly casual place for you to get your fish cravings met. I recommend the plate which you get to pick your seasoning and 2 sides. Service is friendly and laid back. Nice and clean with outdoor patio that is dog friendly. There are heaters in the patio for warmth. Food is pretty great with good portions and good meat quality. Fish were grilled very well. I highly recommend you get clam chowder, too! 5/5 just for chowder alone and it's a huge bowl, too.

    Fish and Chips
    Kathryn S.

    Craving some really good fish and chips, this spot delivers! The fish pieces were HUGE, tasted fresh, and were perfectly crispy. Plenty of seating on the wrap around patio was also a nice touch, gives off that laid back vibe. Not to mention service was super fast and friendly. Definitely one of those places you'll want to come back to whenever you're in the mood for solid seafood.

    Fries
    Audra H.

    Yum. Service is friendly and fast and their food is amazing. I'm not a big sea food or fish person in general, but I love the mahi mahi here! I ordered the Elote taco and some fries and they were amazing. Fries are fresh! Taco is stuffed to the brim and mahi mahi tasted perfect. Ambiance is casual and relaxed. I love coming here and chatting with the friendly staff members! They have tvs to entertain yourself with sports. Today it's baseball and golf!

The Carne Asada Taco has a smoky beef flavor, and the quesadilla with corn tortilla has that seared cheese effect that you can only get with Oaxaca cheese, which is like a Mexican Mozzarella.

The tacos were around $4 which is pretty average but I thought their tacos were a bit bigger than average and had a good amount of meat. I usually can do two bites at other taco places but I have to take three bites here lol. The cabeza tacos were so tender and the carne asada tacos had a nice smoking taste to them. I also like how they came with a good amount of guac and you can also get a side or extra guac if you want more which was very nice of them. The plain quesadillas are simple but something about it was taste soo good, might be the cheese that they use and their handmade tortilla. I'm not too fan of their ordering system as there are around 5-7 different lines depending on what item/meat you want. If you want carne asada, you have to line up and then you have to line up at another line if you want another type of meat. Some lines are longer than others so I feel like my food gets cold by the time I get my second order and then I have to line up to pay. Both times I came, I came around 10-11pm and they ran out of the green sauce. They have a parking lot in the back so I prefer this location than the one at gaslamp.

I grabbed the Mikes Meal Special, but I was really craving some nice crunchy, cheesy and Jalapeno-hot Nachos. So I thought I would try a half-order of Mike's Nachos. Man! They were horrible. The huge pile of shredded beef tasted okay, but the red gravy got all of the chips that it came into contact with really soggy and unpleasant to eat. Maybe it would have been better if I had eaten it in the restaurant, but it should not have degraded that quickly. And to claim to be Nachos? Why? What was Nacho about this messy, uninteresting dish? The only suggestion of cheese that I got was one stray pipe of yellow processed cheese that could have been mustard for all that I know. There were NO Jalapenos whatsoever. The guacamole was just one spoonful plopped down in the middle of the order. There was really nothing red hot about the food at all. So the sour cream just made it taste incredibly bland. My advice? Always go with as authentic to real Mexican food as you can find. If you really want "Gringo Sonora," I would heartily recommend Del Taco over this restaurant.

It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."

The only downside to this establishment is the limited parking, which can make picking up your order a bit challenging during busy times. However, the amazing food and generous portions more than make up for the parking inconvenience. If you're in the area, the Keka Taco is a must-try!

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)
