    Aguachile Original
    Ashley M.

    Best mariscos in SD, we've tried many items on their menu & all have been great. Service is great even on a busy Friday night. All the food is fresh and you can tell they care about the quality by the way each ingredient is prepared. The music is always on point, bringing us back home

    Chips and Salsa
    Les V.

    The reviews were great and the food exceeded my expectations. The salsa with the chips was authentic. The Tostada Especial (Scallop,Cooked Shrimp ,Octopus and Raw Shrimp Cured With Lime) was fresh and delicious. I tried all three house sauces and like all three. I liked that the cooked shrimp was not overcooked. Next time, I'll try the shrimp and octopus Tostado

    Had brunch here with a group of friends and absolutely loved it!! Not sure how we missed this small seafood gem! Trust the reviews. Might just be my newest favorite spot for all seafood. Service was quick and I enjoyed the chili pepper and citrus flavors of their food. Very clean and small but very busy so I definitely feel they are winning people's stomachs--one customer at a time. You'll definitely catch me here again!!

    This is one of our go-to spots whenever we come down to San Diego. We were visiting from Las Vegas and everything was really good. I loved the variety of sauces they offer, from the classic hot sauces to the spicier, more flavorful ones. The service was amazing. Everyone greeted us, and our waitress was very attentive. The restaurant has a true hidden-gem feel, and the ambiance was great. The micheladas were good, but a bigger glass would make them even better. It would also be cool to see a few more michelada options, maybe with cucumber, shrimp, or orange, to help them stand out like the oyster and shrimp plates. We'll definitely be coming back soon.

    Amazing find! We wanted to try a new Mexican restaurant and this place did not disappoint! We were truly pleased with the service and the food. We got the Gobernador and fish tacos, carne asada fries, dozen rack of oysters with ceviche and seafood soup. Just check out the pictures! Everything taste so good. The meat, fish, shrimp, etc were cooked to perfection. Nothing was overcooked. The only issue we had was the location. We nearly missed the restaurant (we didn't see the sign) but my husband called and they confirmed their location. There's parking in front and behind the restaurant building. The bathroom is outside the restaurant so you need to ask for the key. Will definitely come back here again!

    The freshest oysters in San Diego . I'm very picky about my oysters and I can say these here are so good.

    Best Mariscos spot around. From the aguachile to the tacos and drinks. Everything is amazing and authentic. So good that you'll become addicted and you will be back.

    ¡Qué riiiiiiccccoooo! Estilo Culichi no hay mejor hasta llegar a Culiacán. Delish! Beautiful location and service!

    Tostada Especial
    Honest Review S.

    Very happy with our experience here. The service was great, seated right away and helped out. We got a bunch of different menu items but our favorite was the tostada especial. So good and spicy. Will return!

    Food 10/10 The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of fresh seafood and the buzz of a casual, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a local gem. Karyme took cared of us and she was amazing. Definitely coming back!

    Super good and great portions .

    Staff is very friendly and fast. We went on Valentine's Day although there was a 20 minute wait it was worth it and didn't feel like 20 minutes. Definitely recommend also their lemonade with agua mineral is so good . Great for watching sports

    HALF a dozen of Oysters with ceviche
    Kattia A.

    Went to visit San Diego and stopped at this restaurant. Highly recommend, the food was amazing and very fresh. We ordered some ceviche and half a dozen oysters with ceviche on top. 10/10 the best mariscos, I wish we had one close in the valley.

    Taco Mar y Tierra Gobernador
    Gabriela Q.

    The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in and were super accommodating when we asked if they were dog friendly considering we had our pup and didn't see a yard. They sat us at a table near the door which we thought was great because our pup wouldn't be near any other table and/or people's food. We ordered an appetizer plate that contained Aguachile, Shrimp and octopus. The seafood tasted fresh and the aguachile had great flavor. I ordered a taco Gobernador as well as a Mar y Tierra and they both had such great taste. The seasoning on everything was well balanced. I asked if they would be able to prepare a small chicken breast without seasoning for Luka and right away they said that'd be no issue. The restaurant isn't huge but has plenty of seating. There were 2 small groups of musicians that came by the restaurant and were offering to play music to each seated party which we thought was cool.

The tripa taco was fine.. but I wished it was a bit crunchier. Also the salsa on top is spicier than expected! They did give a good amount of tripa though. The Adobada was yummy, but I wished they had more meat on this one. Heads up, the guac is slightly spicy too. We really liked the tortillas here!

It looked like the kind of place where you could grab some tacos with family or friends and just hang out. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the expectations created by the ambiance. The only tacos that were actually worth eating were the Lengua tacos. Everything else was a letdown. The Suadero was EXTREMELY salty to the point it overpowered everything and we didn't even eat them. The Adobada was dry as hell(I ended up taking them home but threw them away), and my daughter said the Pollo Asado was just "okay," so that's what she ended up eating. I went in expecting a taste of the original and walked out wondering how they're even associated. If this is supposed to represent El Franc from Tijuana, they completely missed the mark. There is no fuckin' way this place is related to the legendary one in TJ. Save yourself the trip and go in with low expectations, or better yet, make the drive to TJ if you want the real thing. I was so disappointed that I didn't even bother asking for a refund for anything.

You order and pay first, then they call your name when everything's ready. Service was nice and straightforward. The salsa bar was clean and stocked with fresh limes, two salsas, and radishes. There are a few tables inside plus a bigger table, but we chose to sit outside on the patio. It was clean, comfortable, and the weather made it easy to eat outside. Cabeza: $3.69. Super juicy and packed with flavor. If you like cabeza, this one hits. It came with onions and cilantro and didn't need much else. Lengua: $4.38. Lengua is usually my go-to, and this one was cooked really well. Not greasy at all, which I appreciated. The texture was right, and the flavor was solid, especially with extra lime. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't order more than one at that price. Adobada: $3.69 each. These were my husband's favorite. They come with a creamy green salsa that isn't at the salsa bar, and it pairs really well with the pork. Probably the safest order here. I'd come back to try other items since they have a lot of different cuts and styles, but the prices do make you pause a little, especially if you're ordering multiple tacos.

    Tacos El Gordo has always been my go-to spot when I come home, and the food is still good, but some…read moreof the changes have turned me off a bit. The biggest change is the ordering process. You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.
