Coming all the way from Northern Nevada, my husband and I had one mission while our San Diego trip: find fish tacos. We absolutely lucked out with this place! We walked in on a bustling Friday afternoon and were instantly hit with good energy. The decor is vibrant, fun, and modern--bright colors, beautiful mural-painted walls, and marbled blue floors that have a coastal vibe. The menu had a great variety of both land and sea options, ranging from birria tacos and shrimp cocktails to fresh ceviche. Here is what we down. I ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Husband ordered the fish taco plate, with well-seasoned rice and beans. Our meal hit the SPOT. The fish and shrimp were freshly fried to order in a delicious, crispy batter that wasn't overpowering the seafood. Also, they feature a green salsa packed with chunks of onion and jalapeño, alongside a traditional creamy fish taco sauce. That fish taco sauce is FIRE. It packs a much bigger spicy punch than the watered-down sauces you usually get at most restaurants, and it was delicious! If you are in the area, this is a must-stop. We will 100% be back the next time we visit San Diego! read more

I went to this place because i saw an IG video which made the food look mouthwatering. Worse decision I've made. We ordered fish tacos and queso Birria. The fish tacos were ok, they just needed a sauce and the tortillas need to be better. They were hard almost stale. The Birria was tasteless, dry and had a drop of queso. The consome was watery and also flavorless. Nothing like the video, they made for IG. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVPnxmbCe-n/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== read more

I really enjoyed this place--I've been twice now. The first time, I would've given it a solid 5/5. I got a torta and some tacos, and everything was perfect. Even my girlfriend, who's a connoisseur of Mexican food (she's from Guadalajara), really enjoyed it. The food was great, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was super cool--kind of a mix between a sports bar and a Mexican spot. However, I went back a second time and ordered the same torta along with some quesadillas and tacos, and unfortunately, it wasn't the same quality as my first visit. It might have been because I got takeout, but it just didn't hit the same. I'll definitely be going back again to give it another try, though. It's still worth checking out--just maybe dine in. read more

The shrimp tacos are pretty good, but the fish taco wasn't that great honestly. It was a bit soggy. I will say even on the shrimp tacos the batter on the shrimp was falling off. Great service though. I always love a place with a ton of sauces and a salsa bar. read more

No lobster sauce (comes with fish chicharones) and plastic in my food. I ordered from door dash, just look at the pics it says everything. read more

Order at the cash register and they will call your name when the foods are ready. Free refill on beverages and get your own salsa. The fish is fresh, cooked just right. Condiments provided on the table. Definitely will come again when we are in the area. read more

The vampiro was delicious. The Mora was really good. The tostada the meat tasted a bit dry and it was not as good. Didn't like the fact that they did not have napkins at the table when you know this food gets too messy. The spot was pretty cool. The fries we actually threw away because they were too salty and soggy. read more

The birria tacos are so good that ive never tried anything else. Miches is a staple for all UCR students and really a go to option when jt comes to affordable local food. The orange salsa is bomb as well. I know people who have had issues with the owner in the past, so be careful with how you present yourself i guess. If youre in the area this is a must try read more

i got their fish tacos with my little and they are easily some of the best I've had. they were super crispy, perfectly cooked, and only $2 on Wednesdays, which is cheap. They load them up with fresh salsa, crema, and a crisp lettuce slaw that ties everything together. You also get unlimited sauce, which is a huge plus. For the price, freshness, and quality, this place absolutely hits. Definitely my go-to for fish tacos. Service was chill nothing special since you order at the front and the ambiance is nice too.

We wanted tacos after Sesame Place and discovered this place thanks to Yelp. They have the most delicious fish tacos at a great price on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to coming here for torta Wednesday. They're located in a residential community. The restaurant was clean & service was friendly. I wish they would expand out of Chula Vista. read more

Parking: Easy, open, and free. This is a very solid spot for fish tacos. I came here for the first time last week and ordered the fish and shrimp tacos, potato tacos, and the seafood cocktail. The fish and shrimp were so fresh. The fish was perfectly breaded, and the shrimp had a nice snap. I loved it. The potato tacos were a surprise. I thought I only ordered one but ended up with three. I was like, aww man, I should have paid closer attention. But the potato tacos were so good. I actually liked them even more the next day. On the first day, they had more of a potato-wedge texture; the next day, they were soft and smooth. The seafood cocktail was a miss. It needed a whole lot of everything. Pass on this. I paid $44, which I thought was fair. I gave away my shrimp cocktail and still had enough tacos for lunch the next day. read more

Cute little place. I'm not a huge fan of salsa bars but the salsa is very good . The micheladas was very good. The food is great.

We stopped by to get some tacos. We got the 12 taco deal - 6 Papa Tacos and 6 Birria Tacos for $38. It comes with consome and peppers. The papas tacos were my favorite. The pickled veggies with cheese on top made it flavorful without any salsa. The birria was spicier than I had in other places, but not extremely flavorful. Overall, was not a bad deal, but probably would just stick with the papa tacos. read more

This place was extremely busy on a Saturday! Ridiculously long line. Surprisingly I was in and out jn 30 minutes to go order. Not bad at all for the amount of business they had. The food was incredible, got the California ceviche, the chicharones, and some fish tacos. Everything was excellent, good dine in spot with nice decorations and some tvs around the place. Nice authentic experience, definitely returning. read more

Affordable lunch in the Riverside area!! The food here is incredible. However, the area can be a bit ghetto... but that's how you know you're about to get some bomb food. We ordered the taco box which comes with 6 tacos and we ordered it with all og fish. This was probably one of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The fish were fried perfectly and the portion sizes were also huge. We also got the north birria tacos with consume and that was also a great choice. However, the fish tacos were the star of the show. I also love how they also provide pickled onions as well. It's a pretty chill vibe inside and I like how they made it pretty colorful inside. Regardless, it's still a hole in a wall but nothing to complain. One thing I would say was that the water cups were super small. Maybe have bigger cups for water or you'll have to keep getting up to refill it?? Service was pretty quick and all the staff were nice. We'll definitely be back here! read more

My go to fish and shrimp tacos. Love their grilled and battered tacos. Quick service. Plenty of seatings. Brightly lit with lots of deco and TVs. Can get quite busy but the lines move along fairly fast and the orders are made with speed which is a plus! read more

As an LA native, Taco Nazo is one of few names that are answered when asked about fish tacos. I work in Riverside and there has been talks about Miches De La Baja. I was highly impressed and satisfied! A lowkey spot in the UCR territory. I work minutes away and coworkers haves raved about this spot. Finally had some free time to check it out and was very impressed. For the price and value of the food and beers, I might actually put it up there as a top contender in the fish tacos game! Everything ordered from the tacos de Pescado, camarones y chicharrones de Pescado was delicious! I wish I took more photos but this was a spur of the moment plan and I'm looking forward to my next visit! Service was exceptional! Muchas Gracias! read more

First time trying this place and it was excellent. The sauces help compliment the meal, so be sure to try them. The clam chowder that accompanied the queso fish tacos was delicious. The only downside was that they were busy so the floors were a bit dirty and the drink machine covered in ice. Other than that, it was a great experience. Great food, good service. read more

Clean, bright restaurant in a small plaza. The food was good and the prices are cheap compared to other places. The cashier was nice and helped us out. They have a nice salsa bar too. Fish Tacos - 3/5 The fish portion is huge, but the fish has almost no texture and you're really just eating fried batter for the flavor profile. Shrimp Tacos - 2/5 Shrimp has very little flavor and you're really just eating batter. Fish "chicharrons" with fries - 2/5 Eating this will make you understand that the fish has no real flavor. It's just fried breading. The fries are breaded and tasty. Micheladas - 5/5 This place knows how to make Micheladas. This is a must have. read more

First time here the food is delicious! We got Michis and the birria with the Tijuana north tacos. Bomb! Definitely coming back! 10/10

God awful service, gave me and my girlfriend 5 birria tacos when i payed for EIGHT (8)

Everything here is On Point. I will definitely put the spot in my rotation. try the fried fish, Chicharron.

No effort in their drinks or food instead of trying to fix it they'll get frustrated and just offer your money back. Wouldn't recommend if your looking for ACTUAL Mexican food ‍ read more

Food was delicious! We got shrimp, tacos, fish, tacos, and red tacos and all of them were bomb AF ! The location was super full took us a while to sit down, but was worth the wait to eat here drove too far to take the food back home. The drinks weren't great wife got a piña colada. Tasted like nothing. I got a mangonada. It was ok lack of flavor. We will definitely come back for the food and just get some beers next time. read more

We got off the freeway near UC Riverside literally just looking for someplace to eat lunch, when we saw a feather flag advertising quesabirria tacos. This place is in a strip mall, and we had no idea how popular this place is until we walked in and realized all tables were taken and there was standing room only. I love the bright, colorful atmosphere with Mexican-themed "pop art", faux fish, and a kind of palapa over the order counter. There is a small salsa bar with your choice of red or green sauce (both are pretty hot). The people at the counter were very helpful. It appears that many people are there for the giant micheladas, because almost every table had at least a couple. I also saw a lot of ceviche ( which looked so good) being ordered. We got the quesabirria tacos, some grilled fish tacos, and carne asada nachos. The quesabirria tacos with consomme were amazing . . . so delicious, as were the grilled fish tacos, which had really big pieces of fish. The nachos were incredible--loaded with more cheese, guacamole, and carne asada than chips-- literally. We had to use a fork to scoop up the deliciousness after the chips were all gone. They used the best Oaxaca cheese along with Jack and cheddar. This place is an 11 out of 10 for sure! Vanity wait to get back there!!! read more

I came here a few times after class with friends and enjoyed my experience each time. I have tried the birria tacos as well as the surf and turf burrito, both were amazing! Definitely a favorite spot amongst the college students in the area. read more

Parking is provided at this fast casual spot that serves some delicious looking beers Mexican style. Food is solid. One the better bean and cheese burritos. Both the grilled and fried fish tacos are bomb that are made of sea bass. The salsa bar is ok. Pricing and portions are as expected. Staff is nice but they should know the menu details a bit better. 3.5 stars that I will round up given how much the bean and cheese burrito hit the spot. read more

Food is always great, beach platter with half shrimp & half fish OG style is the way to go. Feeds 4-5 people. The service is pretty good just wish the place was a lil cleaner. Come here almost every weekend with my wife & daughter read more

Just tried this place today and I loved it!! The staff was very nice, they had both "battered" and "grilled" shrimp tacos that was pretty good. The place was clean, and full of color. Loved the place, definitely coming back. read more

Decided to try this place not too long ago. When I walked in it was very busy. So to me that's a sign of good food. The service was quick and friendly. Everything that we tried was so good and very fresh. It was busy so not a lot of seating was available. But thankfully by the time we were ordering some tables opened up. Very clean inside as well. Not in the best neighborhood but felt completely comfortable. Definitely will be back. read more

This message is directly to the managers and owners. I've eaten your food 3 times now.I love the shrimp, the fish, the birria but seriously, the tortillas, can you please?If you can't make them in-house, can you please buy better tortillas?Cause that is what's destroying good food. read more
