    La costra nostra
    Eric S.

    La Pesca took over the old spot and sheeesh... they did NOT come to play. Seafood was crazy fresh and flavorful. We put our name down but the wait was kinda long, so we told the host we were gonna grab cocktails down the street. They actually held our table for us while we finished our drinks!! Came back and got treated so well. They even brought out a complimentary raw shrimp dish (forgot the name but wowwww). Ordered the fish taco, La costra nostra taco with flour tortilla, m tuna, and consommé that was on the house too... everything slapped. great service, bomb seafood. Definitely had a blast here. Super spacious and great music while you enjoy time with friends.

    Super quick and casual spot for some mariscos. The fish taco was $4 and the shrimp taco was $5. They were both very well made, fried crispy with good portions of the fish and shrimp. The service was great as well, the servers were very attentive and made sure to check in regularly and clear plates.

    We enjoyed our lunch at La Pesca Cevicheria Baja in Chula Vista, CA. Our tacos did not disappoint. We ordered the following and recommend trying: -El Pulpo Zarandeado marinated grilled octopus. -La Costra Nostra shrimp wrapped in crispy cheese on a flour tortilla. -Pescado Baja battered fish. - Pescado Frito Entero Plate, whole fried red snapper, and it was delicious. I ordered the Tamarindo Michelada with Michelob Ultra beer. The Michelada went well with the tacos. We had good, friendly service and the restaurant was clean. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

    The seafood is so fresh and so good. The salsas they have on the table are also so flavorful and go well with the food! The star of the show was definitely the octopus! The servers were helpful in questions we had and the restaurant itself was open and spacious. Can't wait to go back again.

    Second time here and again I see why this place it's still it! Place has catchy music and a good entertainment. Decided to come earlier because any other day the wait time is like an hour! Service was great and so fast. Extremely satisfied and the wow so fresh and delicious! Will be back again for more and I know it won't disappoint.

    I just visited la pesca, they're always super busy so I finally decided to give it shot! The service is pretty good and there's street parking. The food is okay, some things better than others. The chavela was delicious and refreshing! They also give you some complementary consomé when you arrive.

    *casual ambiance *awesome service *tasty food This mariscos spot opened in early December right in the heart of Chula Vista, taking over the old Los Cuates location under new ownership. The space feels a bit smaller than before, but still comfortable. Heads up: expect wait times on weekends. We were quoted a 50-minute wait, but were pleasantly surprised and seated in about 20 minutes win-win for us! Our server Evelia was amazing, great attitude, attentive, and super friendly. We tried several items , Shrimp taco I originally ordered fish and received shrimp by accident. While shrimp tacos aren't usually my favorite (I prefer fish), it was still tasty, so no complaints. Habanero fish tostada very good flavor, though I personally expected more heat (but I can handle spice). Pescado zarandeado, big, flavorful plate and easily feeds two.Botana pesca everything was delicious, but the callo de hacha was my favorite. The sauces deserve a special mention all of them were tasty, and the green sauce was my favorite with a nice spicy kick Overall, this spot is a must-try if you're in the neighborhood.

    I drove from LA straight here to try their scallop tostadas, and boy it did not disappoint. We got the scallop tostadas which was my top favorite. Also we got the tostada with tuna pate, shrimp and octopus, Baja shrimp taco and grilled octopus taco. Everything was amazingly delicious. If I visit San Diego again, I will definitely try to stop by here.

    La costra nostra
    Vanessa G.

    I came here having the highest hopes. I have waited over a year for this place to open. Literally looking into the windows. Invited my fellow yelper to come with so we could experience our first time together. Well the first thing we started off with was their consume. We were told it was made from 7 mares soup. I accepted and liked it, but I added about 4 lemons to it since im not to crazy for that fishy taste. Next we got our la costra nostra taco seemed like the most popular choice. I actually really enjoyed this shrimp "quesadilla."Thats exactly what it is since it came with melted cheese and shrimp on a flour tortilla. I wouldnt call it a taco, but that's just me. The shrimp cocktail was extremely loaded with thick pepper. It was a little to much ive had many cocktails and I actually missed more of the ketchup flavor. The ceviche was good lots of lemon and fish tasted fresh. The tostada sambal (poke) was not as good as it looked. The creamy mix is spicy I couldnt taste any flavor. The hard shell tostada was also not that great. Its to thick to serve with ahi should be light and crispy like a wonton. The last thing we tried was their pescado zarandeado. This was the main thing I wanted to try tonight. We were warned this dish took 25 minutes. We thought no problem we have time, we'll we watched everyone else get served, but us. We didnt get our fish till close to 45 minutes maybe even longer. I finally had to let our waitress know. As for the fish itself something about the taste was bitter to me. Not sure what it had on it, but it for sure had the potential to be amazing. There was just something it was seasoned with that threw it all off. The service was not as good as I expected. We weren't really checked on. I know its new and im sure they are just getting started. So ill wait awhile and come back. I always give places another shot.

    Tostada De Callo: raw Mexican scallops -- SO GOOD!
    Chi N.

    This place is INCREDIBLE!! My boyfriend & I went here on a Sunday afternoon around 2:45PM and had the BEST time. They told us the wait would be 15 minutes, it only took about 5 (we tried to grab a beer at a bar down the street, but our table was ready before we could even order). There was, however, a line forming by the time we sat down. Our favorites were probably the Tostada De Callo (raw scallops) and the Tostada En Las Rocas (tuna pate, rock shrimp, and shrimp ceviche). Our server Christa was AWESOME, as was the other sweet gal (loved her as well -- always helped with a smile!) who assisted from time to time when Christa was busy with other tables (the place was packed!). Christa was SO great -- I asked questions about the menu & about what to drink, & she made the making of decisions SO much easier for us -- and, we absolutely LOVED everything that she suggested! For our second glass of white wine, she suggested this chardonnay-sauvignon blanc white wine from the Valle that was INCREDIBLE -- we were so impressed that a joint like this would have such great wines! My boyfriend also loved his Clamato Modelo Michelada. This place has REALLY got it down -- the freshness of the seafood, the taste, the sauces/seasonings, the PERFECT crunch of the tostadas, the SERVICE, the vibes, the cost of the food, everything -- even down to the cute aprons that all the staff wear! Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Cost: 10/10 Service: 10/10 10 out of 10, would eat here again! HIGHLY recommend this as a cute little date lunch spot, and you can grab beers or margaritas at any one of the bars down the way!

    I had a great experience, food was really good! And service was great. Everyone one was very attentive. Definitely coming back and sending others to try the food.

    Aguachile
    Ashley M.

    Been wanting to try this place from how busy it's been since it's opened. Sadly, Worst aguachile I've had in SD, it was flavorless, extremely salty and inedible. The silver lining was the manager being receptive and giving me a remake, however it was just as bad.

    I've been here at least five times. Overall, the food is good, but I personally feel they go too heavy on the sauce, which makes many of the dishes taste overly salty. The scallop tostada is probably the standout item for me. Most of the other tostadas could use a better balance of flavors. I often end up putting the tostada toppings onto an extra plain tostada just to tone down the saltiness and sauce. Also, the Baja fish taco has been consistently mushy rather than crispy every time I've ordered it (about five different visits). The lack of texture makes it much less enjoyable compared to what you'd expect from a Baja-style fish taco.

    We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. 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!

    Was visiting San Diego for the weekend and my friend recommended Kalaveras for Sunday Brunch…read more They opened at 10, and we were one of the first to get there. The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.
