    Fish taco special today. Its soooo good!
    Phyllis P.

    Once again Hectors does not dissappoint! Made my juice fresh, the fish tacos are excellent and beans... wow! They are really great. Can't say enough good things about this place. Fresh salsa with just the right kick and crispy chips.

    Fish, salad, and rice .

    Affordable prices my wife and I ordered 1 huachinango al mojo de ajo $30, 6 ousters $15, $3 for a soda, +tax, I end up paying $60.00 including tips. FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! & Super fast. SERVICE: they could do better, in more than a couple of times, I almost stand, and get more lemons and tortillas by myself (they only serve 3 per order). AMBIENCE is nice, I expected more traditional BANDA MUSIC but someone likes reguetón there; and that breaks the tradition of the Mexican MARISQUERÍA feeling. four stars because, next time I have to bring my own tortillas from home (3 tortillas are for kids meals) I am a grown man. And use headphones with banda sinaloense while eating. PS: I ordered a mussels plate for my wife, but the waiter forgot and never delivered. They didn't charged so we are ok. I also forget stuff when I am working.

    Chimichanga Mix

    I have to say this place is one of the very best Mariscos in all of San Diego, maybe even Southern California! Very clean and the service is warm and friendly! The Chimichanga Seafood Mix was fantastic with the chipotle! Large succulent shrimp and the wrap was light and crispy. I am thoroughly impressed. I will come back.

    Top lft to rt, clockwise: lrg Coctel Campechana, carne asada burrito, fish tacos & grilled seafood combo. Perfection!

    My family and I have been coming to Hector's for nearly 20 years and they have yet to disappoint. The food is always on point, as well as their service. We even made it a point to take advantage of their take-out service during the pandemic -- so thankful they survived! My favorite go-to is their deliciously refreshing campechana coctel (shrimp, octopus, clams, scallops & topped with an oyster). A close second is their grilled seafood combination (grilled fish, shrimp, calamari, octopus, scallops, onions & mushrooms), this is our family's favorite. So flavorful and huge enough to share. A recent delicious discovery (thanks to my stubborn 4 year-old who insisted on carne asada) was their carne asada burrito! I know...carne asada burrito at a mariscos restaurant, but let me tell you it is by far one of the best I've ever had! Stuffed with juicy chary, grilled carne asada, sliced avocado and a light sprinkle of pico de gallo...absolute perfection!! Their chimichangas are pretty bomb as well! Oh! And one more thing...they have a great Taco Tuesday deal ($1.50) on their Baja-style fish tacos (9am-9pm).

Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

    Pretty good asada. pastor decent…read more cabeza is not my preference but it was okay here. not too stinky. flavor in chilaquiles was cool. not best.

    You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

    Where else can you get $1.50 BIG FAT fish tacos EVERYDAY!! Yup.. you heard it right, not just on…read moreTaco Tuesday's.. that's their EVERYDAY price! And I'm not kidding when I say that the fish is HUGE! I usually order it on a flour tortilla and the fish practically fills up the length of the tortilla. And it's not all oily batter either... it's the best fish taco in San Diego and even more so because of the cheap everyday price! Service is good too and lots of seating (inside and out). They have a full bar set right in the middle and tons of tvs to watch sports and grab a drink. One weekday tip... (during the school year) Try and avoid it around 12-1.30pm on weekdays as the high schools are out for lunch and it gets a little insane. Other than that.. you can't go wrong with this spot.

They sound like a deal Food 5/5 -California Burrito: it was delicious (5/5) the ingredients taste fresh and you can tell it's quality! Although one burrito came out to be $20! -Salsa Bar: The salsas taste amazing! They have fresh salsa and they pair very well with the food! Service 3/5 -This is where there is room for improvement. You need to order yourself on a tablet. There was no one to take an order when I went in. Also when ordering it's not very clear to what is included in the burrito when you're clicking to order. When you order it's helpful if someone is there for recommendations and clarifications. Ambiance 5/5 -This place is well designed and in an upscale beautiful area. The inside is designed, beautiful interior with TVs if you wanted to watch sports Overall delicious food, just wish they had people taking order and just be mindful of the price point.
