    Stopped here on the way to the beach and tried the tacos. We got the adobada and carne, and both were so good. Definitely try the adobada, it's just like TJ tacos... maybe even better.

    Suadero taco

    Suadero was tender & juicy with a fairly spicy salsa verde, got all our tacos with everything: salsa, guacamole, onions & cilantro. The carne asada was chopped and made for soft bites with no gristle or toughness - could use some salt to enhance the flavor but good overall. The adobada was nicely cooked with some flame charred bits that were so flavorful. The tortillas were warmed to perfection and they gave us a generous bag filled with limes and radishes. We got a cold jamaica to round it out and weren't disappointed! It was nice to see couples and families gathering during dinner time and enjoying the evening. There's a ton of parking and these folks are working hard to send out fresh food, quick.

    Delicious tacos! Give them a try! Everything was fresh, they don't skimp on the meat, and it all had great flavor!

    This place in San Marcos is CRAFTed and curated to perfection. We used to come here when it was…read moreRip Current. Even though that closed this place was a nice surprise in its venue takeover. You order at the Bar counter for your Brew & for the tacos. The food is made at their permanent fixture food truck outside. The tacos are amazing and generously portioned. The Birria was my favorite! Carne asada was good too. The staffers are nice and ready to serve. There is high communal and individual table top seating inside and sports playing on the TV. Picnic Bench tables out on the front patio are & close to the food truck. It's pretty busy but worth the little wait for your tacos to be done. So sip sip while you wait for the buzzer to go off! Looking forward to our next visits here.

The workers there were super friendly and chill and when asking about their in house beers they were not hesitant to see what you like and give you a beverage to the best of your liking! The lighting inside is just right for day or night as it allows natural lighting in during the day with the garage door style windows and when it's night time the interior lights are not over powering to brighten up the place! If you all have not tried the "local motion" i HIGHLY recommend it if you like a great IPA! If you are looking for a great place with good vibes and a perfect place to kick back to eat tacos and have a beer or two i definitely recommend craft coast in San Marcos!

    We went to this Four Tunas in Oside and it's our new favorite place. The Ceviche tower is literally…read morethe BEST ceviche you'll ever try! It would easily feed 4 people as an appetizer but 2 of us ate it as a main course and were stuffed. The guys that work there are very friendly and eager to make sure we were happy with everything. The complimentary chips and salsa (as well as the ceviche) were so fresh. They run specials every day and we're coming back for the happy hours. Great location and the rest is clean and modern.

    We went to Four Tunas for dinner around 6pm and loved it!! No wait, super friendly service and such…read morea fun, casual atmosphere. We sat outside at one of the picnic tables and it had a really relaxed, laid-back vibe. The STAR was definitely the ahi tuna appetizer. SO GOOD! The tuna was incredibly fresh with avocado, cucumber and red onion, and every bite was perfectly seasoned. It had a little kick for someone like me who normally doesn't do spicy, but apparently that didn't stop me because I was fighting Nuzz for the last piece We got chips with it too and they were perfectly crunchy. I got two fried fish tacos and loved them! The fish was lightly fried and almost airy, not heavy or greasy at all. Exactly what I wanted in a fish taco! Nuzz got grilled fish, spicy octopus and the Mar y Tierra with steak and shrimp. He loved all three, although the octopus definitely brought the heat! Our server was great too. I asked for a ginger ale, which they don't have, and he actually offered to run to 7-Eleven to get me one! Obviously I wasn't going to let him do that but seriously, how sweet?! Fresh seafood, delicious tacos, great service and a laid-back atmosphere. We would absolutely come back! And next time I'm getting my own ahi appetizer. Sharing was a mistake.
