But the batter was a bit too thick and salty for my taste. The side of tartar sauce was bland and needed a kick of sriracha and lemon. The Mahi three taco plate was very good and a fair value with decent sized pieces of fish and a tasty crema on the finely shredded cabbage and tomatoes. But the tortillas were too dry, which is inexplicable given the myriad great tortillerias in the region. Service was fast and efficient, and the ambience bustling with people jam-packed together scarfing their food. I really appreciate their ongoing excellent health inspection reports.

Also had the gambas (shrimp) and my feeling is this dish tastes the same no matter where you get it. It's spicy oil but there's no flavor (garlic, salt), just spicy oil lightly flavored by the shrimp but nothing special, imho, that you couldn't make at home or get anywhere else. Also had the migas y setas (mushroom with egg), it was good but the mushrooms themselves needed salt. The bread crumb bits had salt but it wasn't enough. Mushrooms, eggs and pita toes are three foods that need salt, period. I would definitely eat here again, the food was good, service was good, the vibe and ambiance was good. Great for a date night or just dinner with friends. Not really recommended for people with little kids (although they don't discriminate, it's just not that kind of place).

They were busy on a Monday evening, and they're only open from 5-9 PM daily. The food was fantastic, and so was the setting. It has a cozy yet sophisticated vibe. Think of going to your friend's home who has great taste in décor, with a twist of flair. The warm amber lighting really sets a comfortable tone. For dinner, we ordered the following: Sashimi Mediterráneo: Melt in your mouth delicious. Chicken Paillard: Perfectly lemony and beautifully roasted. The salad was fresh and paired really well with the chicken. I loved the blistered capers. They went great with both the sashimi and the chicken. Dessert: Basque Cake: A soft, multi textured, biscuity French Spanish cake with vanilla pastry cream and sweet cherries. The pastry cream is baked in perfectly. It has an almost creamy cheesecake like texture, and paired with the vanilla ice cream, it was amazing. My girlfriend and I just wished there was a little more ice cream. It would have balanced the dessert even better. I'm definitely coming here again and again! I want to try their Patatas Bravas, Paella & Kabocha Soup, but I also want to get what I've ordered. What a predicament.

We moved on to a Surfin' Swine and Old Fashioned after. My partner liked the Surfin' Swine, it wasn't my favorite, but the Old Fashioned was great!! We ordered the "Ode to Swan" appetizer to start. The fish was fresh and the olive oil with capers had a nice flavor. We moved on to the Roasted Oyster and Bone Marrow. This was good but a lot of food, especially for two, so keep that in mind. For dinner, I ordered the Red Snapper which I loved. The most amazing thing...the fish head and tail are on the plate but then the middle of the fish is just the meat. But honestly, the hands down best dish we had was the Peri Peri Chicken. If I were to rank meats, chicken is always on the lowest on my list; however, omg, this was so good. I HIGHLY recommend. The flavors, seasoning, presentation, sauce...if you even remotely like chicken, order it!! The carrots were okay but I was a little disappointed. Great service, great experience...it was a little pricier than I was hoping it would be but it's Encinitas...to be expected. Will definitely return.

Ordered the Small Boston White Clam Chowder ($6.99), 3 Piece Fish & Chips with fries ($21.99), and the Sea Bass Plate ($25.99) which came with two sides - opted for Spanish rice and black beans. The clam chowder was just okay and nothing particularly special. The sea bass with garlic butter was a little bland and definitely needed some hot sauce or tartar sauce for extra flavor. The Spanish rice also tasted like it had been sitting out for a while and was a little dry. I did appreciate that the black beans came topped with some cheese and were served in a little tostada bowl - a nice touch. The fish and chips were hands down the best thing we ordered. The fish had a super crispy batter and the fries were crispy as well. Definitely the standout of the meal. Pelly's is located in a shared plaza with Ralphs, so there are plenty of parking spaces available. Both indoor and outdoor seating and it's a counter-service setup where you order at the counter and they'll bring the food out to your table.

If someone else was driving, I'd explore more of that side of the menu. The porkchop was superb.. really tender, full of flavor and with some nice sides. Perfectly cooked, and generous cut. A+ The ceviche was a bit onion-forward more-onion for my taste, but if you're picky with the fork in separating it out, nice. I'd try some different varieties next time. Seared ahi was just okay, had a bit of a long chew to it, not my favorite cut. Smothered in seasonings/topping bits, but hey, just like the picture. Service was super kind and helpful. Parking was easy enough on the street, depending on your luck. Prices about typical for seafood here. There are a lot of dogs visiting, however you feel about that. They parade through the indoors to get to the outdoor seating. Many dogs.
