I love that you can see the fresh catch displayed when you order, and the menu does a great job letting the fish speak for itself. The poke is SO good, and the Nico's burrito and fish tacos are also incredible. Everything is packed with flavor without overwhelming the freshness of the fish. Their sauces are also amazing, especially the Lily sauce! The staff is super friendly and helpful with choosing what to order, and I love the casual beachy vibe of the place. You can tell this is a small local business that genuinely takes pride in what they're serving. Definitely a must-try if you love seafood, and I'll absolutely be back!

Best fish shop in San Diego! Super fresh, high-quality fish compared to other fish shops I've…read moretried. The place doesn't have that strong fishy smell at all, which tells you how fresh everything is. Everything on the menu is fairly priced, and honestly, I recommend pretty much everything! You can tell this is a real, authentic fish shop. There are tons of photos around the shop of the owner actually out fishing, and the whole vibe is great. It feels like a place that really knows and cares about fresh fish. I live in LA and come to San Diego about once a month, and this is ALWAYS one of my go-to spots. Definitely one of the best in the game. I usually get the ahi poke bowl and the burrito, but honestly, everything here is fire. Just keep in mind there can be a line, so be patient it's worth the wait! Highly recommend!

The service deserves particular credit and is what brings this review to five stars. I'd give the food four stars on its own, but the experience as a whole earned the extra star. It's always a pleasure when the service leaves as strong an impression as the meal. I look forward to coming back.

If you're looking for some great ceviche, look no further. My partner and I stopped by for some…read morelunch and enjoyed some tacos and ceviche. We ordered the mixed cup ceviche which was super good and extremely fresh. It came with two fried corn tortillas that you could break into chips and put the ceviche on top. We ordered 4 tacos: grilled octopus, battered shrimp, skirt steak, and grilled fish. Our favorite by far was the octopus. It was so tender and seasoned perfectly. Battered shrimp was also wonderful. Least favorites were probably the grilled fish and the steak. The fish taco didn't have a veggies on it, just avocado so it felt like it was missing something. The steak taco was slightly under seasoned. Overall Oscar's was a hit and I'd gladly come back

The freshest, juiciest, crunchiest, most delicious and perfectly balanced tacos you can possibly get. One bite will make you close your eyes and shake your head in disbelief and how something this good exists.

Foodies Founding Member Robyn and I head to Enoteca Adriana this past Saturday for an early dinner…read more And I must tell you, if you like Italian Food, this is the place to go in Pacific Beach. With all the choices in Pacific Beach, are you sure? Yes. I'm sure. With both indoor and outdoor seating and a staff that lives to accommodate, this is one of the top 5 on my list. We start with Ceasar Salad, bread and wine. Each is to its' perfection. The Salad is perfectly presented, perfectly dressed. The bread has what looks like butter dripping out, but is actually cheese. And the Wine is from Orvieto Italy. Robyn has been there and makes this great suggestion for the wine. What's next chef? We eat small portions of the Orecchiette  Bosco and Capellini Pomodoro with Shrimp. We save the rest for lunch the next day (and next day it's even better)! We are saving ourselves for dessert, Robyn's favorite part of the meal. We order Pistachio Cheesecake (not with cream cheese but ricotta), Tiramisu and Pope's Pillow (probably because after you taste it you think you died and went to heaven)! lol All three are nothing but perfection. It's great for date night later in the evening, girls night, family night if you go early. And there aren't too many other places I'm thinking about going back to and taking San Diego Foodies and Carlsbad Foodies to! This my friend is IT. Let's go!

Busy place, so I would make reservations ahead (seemed to be available same day though) Highly recommend the risotto if you're here with a group. We had the seafood one and it was phenomenal.

Fast forward about 14 years, present day, still awesome service, same high vibes, food got better somehow, has 3 bathrooms and has expanded its clientele exponentially.

I'm glad they're still doing well and expanded operations.

Street parking only, many small paid lots and they valet for first two hours free since it's linked to the hotel Tower23. I had a work party of 20 during lunch that rolled over to happy hour past 3pm! It's basically tourist price in exchange for the local view. Food can be a hit or miss. They serve mainly seafood. Although you'll find short rib sliders or chicken sandwich. -Crispy calamari - delicious batter but weird that they threw in broccoli and peppers when it could have been all calamari -Steamed mussels - this was the best. Had two sourdough slices and the tomato purée had tons of flavor -Ceviche - the chips were stale -Ahi nachos - needed more sauce and filling. Not enough poke to chip ratio. I got mainly a blank chip. -Short rib sliders - many people ordered this and said it was very dry -Roulette roll - most popular roll. I fairly enjoyed the crunch in each bite. Got a Raspberry mojito. It was strong and refreshing but gave me a fat headache later. Must be the rum. We were limited to 8 credit cards but since it was down time, our server was willing to go around to allow us to pay our individual tabs. Thanks, Jaz!

I always have such high hopes, but tonight proved again why it's only mediocre and overpriced. I got the short ribs. There was no flavor to it. The meat was cooked amazing but there was just not enough flavor like a little bit more flavor to the sauce and a little bit more sauce , even the carrots were raw I couldn't even get a knife through them. To Russell sprouts one came and again, just not enough to them. They fell flat. The second order came an hour after we had finished our meal then the check was received. With said, returned product on our check. Our server never check back in on us. We had to ask other servers to assist us and bring us additional items lackluster

This place gets 4 stars- 5 if Jessica is working. We come to La Jolla from L.A. once every two months or so and this restaurant is part of the reason. I usually get the snapper sandwich with the Cajun / blackened spices and Its probably my most favorite fish sandwich I've ever eaten. The staff all look like they were born in the ocean and could surf before they could walk. One thing I did not appreciate- and this is not to get anyone in trouble but it needs to be addressed - as someone who was previously in the food industry for 10 years, the manager should really bring his employees to the side or talk quieter if he has an issue with them, not call them out on the floor within earshot of the entire patio. I'd be pissed if that was me. People can't afford to lose their job and can't say anything, so I'll say it here. Lets remember who actually makes the restaurant what it is. 10/10 WILL be back every time I'm in La Jolla.
