They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.

It's a true family-style operation--one owner personally takes your order while the other is in the kitchen cooking everything fresh, and you can taste that attention to detail in every bite. The food is outstanding--full of flavor, generous portions, and very reasonably priced. It's the kind of place where you know you're getting authentic, homemade quality, not something rushed or generic. On top of that, the service is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is clean and well-kept. It's rare to find a spot that checks all the boxes like this.

Since then we've been visiting other burrito places, but decided to give them another shot. We were pleasantly surprised to see things were "back to normal". Burritos were big again and the salsa bar was back. Chips were no longer free (I remember they used to be a long time ago), but no biggie. We were just picked up to-go. The burritos were good. Not great, necessarily, but good and the prices are some of the best around. They have a ton of options, and lots of drinks, including beer. We were just picking up, and it was a very hot day. The restaurant didn't have any air-conditioning so it was quite warm inside. Most people were eating outside. We'll be back again to try some other menu items given that their prices are generally pretty good.

After I paid, the guy who took my order asked if I wanted salsa...replied yes, he asked how many, I said 4 or 5 ramekins? Gave em to me, no problem. Salsa bar was LIT - all fresh, good tasting stuff, clean and orderly. After getting my salsas, I sat and waited for a moment while they made my order - fresh, made on the spot...saw that was the case for a couple of other patrons who got there shortly after I did. Got my order and, HOT DAMN, my burrito was GINORMOUS. I ran through it as soon as I got home and it was delicious. So good that I would definitely want to go back and try some of their other offerings. Looked to me like they have a number of daily specials (e.g., 5 tacos for $12). Friendly and polite staff, good value for the money! Highly recommended!

These days, it's hard to find tacos loaded with that much meat and fresh guacamole, especially on freshly made tortillas. It was such a great value. My favorites were the carne asada taco and the birria taco--both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. If I'm ever back in Oceanside, this will definitely be one of my first stops!

    This is my second time visiting so now I must talk about their vegetarian tacos. I've tried them…read moreand have something to say. 1. They are better with beans and cheese because it adds more flavor. Plus, choose your favorite salsa, there's added flavor. 2. The veggies are too chunky for tacos. Imagine biting into a taco and it's a bite of a whole zucchini with corn tortilla. Then it's an onion and corn tortilla, with maybe some guac and added salsa. Then it's a chunk of yellow squash. In tacos, veggies need to be diced smaller so the various veggies and ingredients fit in the mouth. Today, it wasn't cut properly. 3. Ordering a side of beans means refried beans and cheese. I thought I would use these beans to add to the tacos, which I still did, but it's not whole beans like it is when you order Coast Style (beans and cheese). The beans are good though. 4. The corn tortillas and salsas are the best part. Here's my biggest opinion - 5. Veggie tacos should already come with beans! Why are vegetarians paying the same price for a carne asada taco and we still have to request beans (and cheese) to be charged $1.50? Kinda crazy. 6. Don't bother with the veggie mulita. The veggies just fall out because they're so juicy so it's hard to eat and you end up eating it like a taco anyway (with no guac). Their Baja lager is a great beer though. I'd pick up a 6-pack of their Mexican lager for sure.
