Omg so good. I was around the corner at the DMV for like 3 hours (I'm never moving out of Cali…read moreagain...) and waiting in the line for vehicle inspection when I said, let me get some food and wait instead... So glad I found Mar Y Tierra!!! Everyone was sooo nice to me even though I had a hard time remembering "sesenta" briefly (when I think in Spanish now, Japanese comes out... it's funny but it's a problem lol) and even though I'm a gringa with a basic order. I just got 1 shrimp & 1 fish taco both with avocado and a jamaica. When I tell you I ate these like I had never eaten food before... Shrimp was incredibly tender and wonderful. The fish was huge, flaky and crispy and juicy. Honestly I ate them so quickly they could've been made of liquid. But they were sooo delicious!! They included extra sauce and the green salsa wasn't too spicy for me which I so appreciate! They also included 2 limes for one of the tacos which made me think someone really loves me today :') I would definitely come back here anytime and try more things on the menu! Very very delicious!! Thank you for the delicious food and taking care of me today!!!

So fresh, the cabbage was excellent and it's a loaded taco. They did not disappoint! The shrimp taco especial was just as outstanding! I got it grilled and it did it was on point. I'm not fluent in Spanish but I got by making my order. I'll definitely be back when I'm the area.

The shrimp & steak really surprised me because I'm not a double protein person but this combo was so good! The shrimp was juicy and the steak was well cooked. I also like that they use flour tortillas for the tacos and a cabbage mix topping. I will definitely be back! They are situated towards the back of market on 8th, which can be busy if you go around 4pm, but I went for lunch at noon and it wasn't too packed. Service was fast and friendly :)

The garlic fish tacos were absolutely mouthwatering--packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was full of energy and good vibes. The only letdown was not receiving the cup of fish stew, which I was really looking forward to. That aside, the experience was still top-notch. Overall, Kiko's lives up to the hype. Their seafood tacos are easily some of the best in San Diego.

Crab Fever - 5 Stars All the Way!…read more If you're looking for the ultimate seafood boil experience in San Diego, Crab Fever is IT. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, lively, and welcoming. The staff makes you feel right at home and takes the time to explain the menu, spice levels, and combos if it's your first visit. The seafood? Fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection. The crab legs were packed with flavor and super easy to crack. The shrimp were juicy, the corn and potatoes soaked up all that buttery garlic goodness, and the house sauce is absolutely addictive. If you love bold flavor with the perfect kick of spice, you will not be disappointed. The portions are generous, everything comes out steaming hot, and the hands-on experience makes it even more fun. Perfect spot for date night, girls' night, family dinner, or celebrating something special. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely be back for more of that mouthwatering sauce!

Came here with a small group for mariscos. Overall it was decent, but not super stand out…read more Their agua frescas are a little different than what you'd expect. They're more blended instead of that thinner, water based style. I personally liked the mango since it tasted like a blended mango, but just something to keep in mind depending on what you're expecting. The fish tacos were good and nicely battered. I just wish they made their own tortillas. The ceviche was more of a chopped mix of shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumber, and didn't really have any juice, which threw me off a bit. The aguachile tostada was really spicy. I know it's supposed to have heat, but this one was definitely spicier than most places. The flavor was good though. Overall a solid spot to try, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

Overall, a great spot we keep coming back to!

I visited this restaurant last night, and I have to say I was really disappointed--especially…read morebecause this is a place I usually enjoy. It was late, after the mall had closed, and it wasn't busy at all, yet the service was extremely slow. I had to wait a long time just to get a drink, table setup, and my food. I've been here when it's crowded and received much faster service, so this was surprising. What upset me the most was the food. It ended up being a waste of money because I couldn't even finish it. While eating, I found what looked like a hair in my bag , which completely turned me off. On top of that, the crab legs didn't seem fresh. Overall, the experience was horrible, and I'm honestly not sure if I'll be returning.

When our nephew told me he was celebrating his graduation party at Chief's Da Crab Shack, I thought…read morewe were eating seafood in a plastic bag with our choice of spices. Chief's is one of those type of restaurants, but what I didn't know about Chief's is that it is a sister restaurant to JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Tiki Bar. The food that was served came from JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Crab Shack, and both served delish grub. Besides the tasty food, I really enjoyed the Hawaiian vibe inside, the tunes emanating from the House DJ made me want to dance, and I appreciated the hustle from the hard working staff. If you're looking for a restaurant for a party or a graduation celebration, check out Chief's Da Crab Shack. Chief's Da Crab Shack is located in South San Diego, specifically Bonita, and it can be reached utilizing the 805 freeway and driving east. The restaurant can be found within an outdoor strip mall that contains the following businesses: Chief's sister businesses, JJ's Island Grindz and Chief's Da Tiki Bar; Franco's Flapjack; Wells Fargo; Colima's Mexican Food; and Fresheria. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. As you enter Chief's, you immediately notice the Hawaiian decor and fisherman imagery with dryed grass skirt material hanging over their seating booths, netting holding crustaceans and seashells, thick ropes, fish as light fixtures, and ocean birds. This is a spacious restaurant with indoor booth seating, tables and chairs, distressed wooden tables for group seating, and outdoor seating. There were televisions around the restaurant showing World Cup soccer. I appreciated the diligence of Chief's staff who hustled while handling my nephew's graduation party and regular customers visiting. Before making my first visit to Chief's Da Crab Shack, I thought we'd be grubbing on seafood that are boiled and placed in a plastic bag with your choice of seasoning. That is what Chief's primary business is, but since it's affiliated with JJ's Island Grindz, my nephew's graduation party had a buffet line that featured Hawaiian and Asian food, which came from both Chief's and JJ's. The following dishes from Chief's were waiting for our tummies: mini pork lumpia shanghai, buffalo lemon pepper wings, garlic noodles, and white rice. The following dishes from JJ's were calling our name: spam musubi, salt and pepper chicken wings, teriyaki chicken, kalbi beef ribs, and red rice. The spam musubi is spam wrapped with seasoned sushi rice and nori seaweed. The spam musubi was a tasty bite in a small package. The mini pork lumpias were packed with ingredients and flavorful. The salt and pepper chicken and the buffalo lemon pepper wings were crispy and wok fried with green onion, fresh minced garlic, crush red pepper, and lemon. I devoured those chicken wings, which ate well with the two types of rice. The garlic noodles were yummy and had an abundant amount of garlic flavor. The red rice complemented all of the protein I ate. The kalbi beef ribs were okay and I wished they were more tender. My nephew and in-laws made appetizing choices for the graduation party and I happily consumed two plates of the food. 4.5 stars because the kalbi beef ribs weren't as good as the other food items. When we were told that our nephew was celebrating his gradution at Chief's Da Crab Shack, I was looking forward to experiencing seafood seasoned in a plastic bag. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Chief's is affiliated with JJ's Island Grindz and was able to grub on delicious Hawaiian and Asian entrees from JJ's and Chief's. Next time, I'd like to visit both Chief's and JJ's and try entrees that they're known for.

However, if we dig a bit deeper and evaluate the po boy on NOLA standards; it's missing that NOLA flair.
