    shrimp aguachile el picosito

    Stopped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed. I ordered the shrimp aguachile el picosito which came with tostadas. The seafood was very fresh and light and the sauce it came in was very flavorful; packing the perfect amount of spice. The portion size is perfect for a quick mid day meal or appetizer to share! The vibe is chill and relaxed. The patio seating enhances the neighborhood coastal cafe vibes. 10/10 would recommend for fresh Mexican style seafood!

    Yummy seafood close by the beach! After a hot day of playing mermaids with friends, a refreshing ceviche is the cherry on top for a perfect day! :) Ordered La corriente ceviche- 5/5 taste and I wish we could've gotten their tatemada salsa served in a huge tub.

    Amazing spot with delicious food and wonderful service! I highly recommend the soft shell crab taco, carne asada tacos and the red snapper tostada. I didn't love the shrimp aguachile but I definitely want the the ceviche next time.

    This spot has really good aguachile! We also got the Corriente tostada, roka shrimp, and artichoke tostada. Everything was fresh and delicious. Can't believe it's been over a year since I came. The restaurant also has a patio, which is great, since the space is kind of small. The staff didn't check on us much, but were pretty friendly. I enjoyed my time here and the ambiance was great! I need to go back soon!

    La Corriente is a well placed, but slightly odd little restaurant in La Jolla. We found it going to and from our little motel outside of the village riding on bikes. It would be great if there was bike parking just as an FYI to the restaurant! La Correinte has a very small footprint on a prominent corner in La Jolla. Drinks are excellent seating is small and as per all San Diego La Jolla restaurants, they adore reservations and are a little creeped out by walk-ins. We were a walk-in so we faced the odd looks and "here are a couple of random places you can sit even though 75% of the restaurant is empty" vibes. Drinks were good, prices were appropriate. Food was delicious, but a little salty. Service was excellent. We enjoyed our time here, although we had to tie our bikes up to a nearby corner electrical unit to keep them from being stolen.

    Octopus with lots of potatoes and rice.

    I had the shrimp pozole and the octopus with rice dish. Both were delicious! The pozole was generously filled with shrimp and the broth was very flavorful. Octopus was fresh and tender. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. Service was great. I was there for a late lunch and was seated right away. There were plenty of tables. By 2:30-3'ish the place started to fill up. I gave driven by in the evening and this place is always full and busy. The ambiance is nice and comfortable and not too noisy even when it got busier. We sat inside because it was a rainy day. I was charged a $3 credit card fee so bring cash if you want to avoid that. I will be back to try the tacos and clam chowder next time. Saw another guests get the chowder and it was served in a bread bowl.

    This place has been on my list because of the octopus so of course we ordered it! It looks like there was 2 on the plate and humongous portion. It was really good, with the rosemary flavored red rice and potatoes and tortillas. The deboned branzino was also healthy and tasty, we had that with a side of red rice. The mushroom taco was soggy, so I wound not order that again. The red snapper tostada was a little bland. But overall the food we came there for was great, just wished we got more salsa. Service was great, they were very attentive. Make sure you make reservations as this is a small place.

    We loved our consomé
    Daniella S.

    First I love how the place is decorated! We actually recently visited the one in Mexicali which is just as great. We were craving seafood and a nice cold one. It was so nice we got a warm shrimp consomé before. We tried a few of the tostadas , very fresh and loved the side salsas. We enjoyed our beer as well. Staff was very attentive, which is great. I would visit again.

    Ceviche
    Cindy N.

    Nothing about the taste of the food really wow-ed me or makes me want to come back. The octopus LOOKS great but it's not like it's hard to find grilled octopus. The ceviche was fine and leans more Mexican-style. I also got the tuna tostada which was decent. The salsas that come with your meal are all good and there's additional hot sauce on the table. The margarita with the Tajín rim is yummy. The place is really cute especially if they have the doors open.

    Fish Taco

    Very beautiful small restaurant serving delicious mariscos to the La Jolla Community! The decor made me feel as if I was abroad. Showed up without reservation and was luckily seated immediately. The customer service provided was great. Parking can be a bit of a nag depending on the day. All food was delicious, including the complementary consome! Only downside I'd point out is the price to portion ratio was steep!

    Soft shell crab taco

    Todo es perfecto! Everything we had from the house tortilla chips and the whole meal was so delicious! Totally worth the price. It's definitely not just another Mexican restaurant in SD or something you can get at a taco truck. The soft shell crab would be worth the drive. They have the best clam chowder where you actually see more clams than potatoes. The broth wasn't thick. The shrimp arabe was made like a mini burrito and the tortilla was toasted. Finally, the Roca shrimp. Omg! I usually don't like thick breading, the breading was so light and crispy. The service and ambience was great as well. Definitely a memorable meal that needs to be experienced again!

    Delicious quacamole

    I came here with my husband. I am 9 months pregnant and the food was delicious. I got the spicy shrimp taco, definitely recommend. The service was amazing and friendly staff. And the ambiance was nice as well. I'll definitely be back to try the raw fish when I am not pregnant.

The scenery is beautiful, the atmosphere is lovely, and the menu offered many appealing options. Most of our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and the standout dish for us was the beef tartare, which was excellent. The views alone make it a memorable place to dine, and I would happily bring my family back. There were a few aspects of the experience that could have been better. Our waiter was kind and attentive; however, after a neighboring table voiced complaints about their food, he repeatedly made sarcastic comments to our table such as, "Clearly the food is terrible?" Even after that couple had left, similar remarks continued throughout our meal. I'm not sure if the comments were intended as humor or directed toward the other guests, but they felt awkward and took away from the experience. I had also noted in my reservation, and again when confirming by phone, that we were celebrating two special occasions. Our server came to wish his congratulations but no other attempt was made to celebrate my nephews, I reminded our server of this and he explained that desserts could be ordered for the celebration, but it felt like I had to initiate the recognition myself. Perhaps I expected something similar to the complimentary celebratory touches offered at other restaurants. The only issue with the food itself was that my salmon contained a hair, which was disappointing. Despite these concerns, my family enjoyed the evening overall, and the quality of most dishes and the beautiful setting left a positive impression.

Everything was very fresh and our guests were extremely satisfied with the options and quality. If you're considering using them for any event I highly recommend. The views were unbeatable. We'll be going back on our anniversary to eat here again and can't wait!
