    First, a positive comment. This place does have a pleasant ambiance. For a beer, it seems like a nice place. However, my experience with the food wasn't good at all. I ordered two fish and chips, gave my telephone number and waited. And waited. Finally, after 40 minutes, I stood in line and asked where my order was. The guy behind the counter said, "I texted you." I said, "I didn't receive any text." He then repeated my number and it turns out he got the first digit of my area code wrong. I asked how long the fish and chips were waiting there in a bag on the counter. He couldn't answer. I said, if you couldn't reach me via text, I was sitting right outside and you could have gotten me. No empathy, no effort from the staff. Soggy fish and chips for dinner. Not a good experience at all.

    Took the train down here to visit my partner that's been here for work. We randomly came across this spot and we're really glad we did. We ordered a shrimp taco, fish taco, and poatoe taco. As well as a spicy fish sandwich and Crab Mac salad. Honestly the food was great, simple and really tasteful. Glad it wasn't one of those places that just look good on social media and then let's you down when you get you're order. Seating is plentiful both in and out side. The rest of the business is more of a tasting room and they have a lot of local craft you can buy to go. Really cool that there's a spot like this here we have a few similar places like this where I live so definitely enjoyed it. For sure would give the place another go if I was back in town.

    Solid spot if you're looking for a quick poke fix. Honestly, we only found this place because we had inKind credits to use, otherwise it might have flown under the radar. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that's to be expected when eating raw fish. We tried the poke bowl, three tacos, and a fish burger. * Poke - Fresh and flavorful, gone in just a few minutes. * Tacos - Decent, but nothing that stood out. * Fish Burger - The most interesting dish of the bunch. I've only ever had a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish, so this was a whole new experience -- much better quality, and thoroughly enjoyed the burger. The overall vibe is what makes it worth checking out: tucked inside a brewery with some cute shops around the block. I'd recommend stopping by if you're already in the area, but probably not worth going out of your way for.

    Spot the hair in my taco
    Timothy T.

    My fiancée was craving poke and tacos, and we were originally planning to hit up two different spots -- until we found Shoots Fish & Beer. So glad we did! Not only did they have both, but the vibe here was amazing. Total win. The environment is super fun and relaxed. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and even gave us some solid recommendations. Everything we tried was good -- the poke was decent, though I wish it had a bit more flavor. The spicy fish burger (one of their recommendations) was surprisingly delicious and a definite standout. Only downside (and reason for the star off) was finding a hair in my shrimp taco. It happens, but still kind of a buzzkill. That said, I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Great concept, good food, and chill atmosphere. Make sure to check out Bottlecraft while you're at it.

    Three tacos

    Stopped by here for lunch. Seemed lively and clean. 4.5 stars overall. Loved the seating options that are outdoor on a patio, outdoor in between other shops like Pop Pie Co and Stella Jeans, or indoors by the bar. Vibes were great and looked clean. The server was super friendly and let me try a taste of different drafts. Got a pineapple lemon kombucha, three taco combo, the tuna crunch wrap, and poke combo. If we lived nearby we would come here a lot more because it was an enjoyable eating experience. The tacos were smaller than expected but very flavorful. The shrimp taco was so fresh 5/5. The fish taco was okay. The pork taco was great. Poke was fresh but $26 was a bit steep but still glad we got it. Kombucha draft was really yummy. The tuna crunch wrap was new for me. I liked it but husband found it as just okay. Overall, we enjoyed this place and the lively but also relaxing vibes for an outdoor lunch with fresh fish.

    Pescadero taco (yellowtail)
    Leslie S.

    Cool spot for a quick bite to eat and some good beers from BottleCraft! It is a casual counter service style restaurant. They have poke bowls, tacos, and some speciality items. We tried the Cheyne's OG poke bowl, the elote corn, the pescaderos taco, and musubi. The poke bowl came with a good amount of poke. It was flavorful and fresh. The pescadero taco had yellowtail since that was the catch of the day. The taco was not very flavorful and not something I would get again. The elote corn was a fun side dish to try, but also not a menu item that I would need to have again. The musubi was flavorful and tasted like a sushi roll without sushi. If I were to return, I would get the poke bowl again. This location of Shoots Fish & Beer has a large outdoor area for seating. There are large picnic style tables with a big patio covering that provides shade. This is a great spot for kids, or large groups.

    Delicious. Priced accordingly. I'm from Hawaii, so my Poke standards are pretty high amongst other people, and this lived up to the rave very nicely. Had the Cheynes OG Poke Bowl and Ceviche Tostada. Both were vibrant with flavor. Beer was tasty. Had a white rascal for a taste of colorado and then a There Does Not Exist IPA. Best IPA i've had in quite a while. Will make this a regular spot for sure. Busy night but service was good. Nice upscale busy ambiance for a Friday night.

    Fishwich
    Katherine N.

    I stopped by Shoots Fish & Beer with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered and paid at the register, were assigned a number, and chose our own seating outside. The ambiance was friendly, and the bar area seemed to get more busy and lively as we were wrapping up our meal. FOOD: I had initially wanted to get poke, but was a little taken aback by the steep price yet small looking portions. Fishwich (4/5) - A pretty pricey but decently sized, yummy fish sandwich. The fish patty was nicely seasoned and you'll definitely taste the hints of dill. I loved the addition of the pickled red onions. Musubi (4/5) - An interesting, unique take on the classic spam musubi. This is the first time I've seen spam musubi in a roll form, so points for creativity. Potato Taco (4.5/5) - I did not try this personally, so this is my friend's rating. Definitely a little pricy for a street sized taco, but according to my friend, it's super yummy and one of her go-tos. SERVICE: My interactions with the staff were quite limited, so I feel no need to give that a rating. I only encountered staff when I ordered and when food was brought out to my table. (Great for introverts!) All interactions were pleasant and nothing out of the ordinary though. You'll be able to find and obtain condiments, napkins, and utensils on your own. TLDR// Shoots is a really nice place with an interesting menu. Everything I had was delicious and I would be open to eating here again. For me, it's on the pricier side, so I'd admittedly be hesitant if I'm on a tight budget.

    Rock fish head!

    Whether it's lunch, dinner, pregame, night cap, watching a game, this place has the best food! And I come here for the BEER so that means something .Always Fresh fish! Good selection of beer rotating on the tap! Gotta love the staff!! They know their stuff. Come here for a good time

    Tator tots and caviar
    Desiree W.

    Always a go to for me! They have unique options on the daily menu. The swordfish sandwich was good, but I think the spicy tuna one is way better when that's available. They recently had tator tots with caviar and that was 10/10. Will definitely continue to go here and introduce more friends to it. Also love that you can get a beer or other craft drinks here. The bottle shop is awesome as well

    A great spot for that has a wide selection of drinks and fish/seafood options. Their fish is fresh and delicious. The patio in the back is also spacious and is great for groups.

    Spam musubi  3/5
    Krystal R.

    Wow!!!! What a difference in experience! This is my 1st time eating at the restaurant. The first time I had this was at a wedding and they catered the event. (Not the best experience) I decided to come inside and try it myself to see what all the hype was about and to see what the owner Jaiden was talking about. I went to the Oceanside location. A little hard to find the 1st time. I drove past it and had to go back around in a circle. Not much parking. Very cute Ambiance. You order and then they bring it to you. On the other side you can order beer or wine. Behind that they have a little store where you can purchase beer and wine. I came with a group and we ordered a little bit of everything! We got the spam musubi Taco platter with a potatoe taco, pork taco, and 1 of the fish tacos. Forgot which 1. Spicy tune wrap Poke fries Cheese quesadilla What a difference!! Very good! Everything tasty. Loved the potato taco! We will for sure come back again! Thank you for a much better experience!

    Always a good options on a nice day! We frequent here often and their fish is so fresh. My boyfriend always gets the fish wings and says they are great. We also got a Kahlúa pork taco, white fish tostada, tuna sashimi, and spam musubi. All were great and we left full. The best part is that It is connected to bottle craft so you have a lot of drink options canned or on top. The seating is very casual and also good for big groups and is dog friendly.

    This tasted like fresh fish. They advertised fresh and delivered fresh. Will definitely be back, and I'm picky with my restaurants.

    The food was absolutely delicious, and I was so impressed by the quality and flavor of every dish…read more It is clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation, and knowing that Cocina Del Mar is a family-owned business makes the experience even more special. It is wonderful to support a local establishment that truly cares about the food they serve and the community they are part of. Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience. I look forward to visiting again soon!

    Finally visited Cocina Del Mar after always seeing it popup on Yelp or Google Maps. Our defacto…read morego-to standard for Mexican food has always been Mariscos Huatulco. They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.
