I found Tony's Fish and Chips by Shell gas station.  There were 4 varieties of fish to choose from…read more  I picked the red snapper. I was excited as I love the sweet nutty flavor of red snapper.  I watched as the fish fried.  Red snapper was coated in cornmeal batter and was crunchy on the outside.  Normally cornmeal batter has a slightly sweet and slightly salty flavor.  I didn't taste much from either the batter or the fish other than the fried batter flavor. Fries were very crunchy and dry.  Not overcooked but close. I added 5 shrimp to the order.  There was a ton of batter and some kind of hot sauce used to season the batter which hid the flavor of the shrimp.  I did not like the flavor so I gave the rest of the shrimp to Maggie who didn't like the flavor of the oil or the batter. Staff was nice.  Sadly my search for delicious fried red snapper continues.

Sad to say as of my last visit it will definitely be my last visit and I'm no longer spending my…read moremoney here when there's taco shops everywhere. I used to think they were good until this very last visit that just PMO even when I think about it as I'm writing my review. I guess since I last visited I found out they accept cards now so that's convenient. Still in a crazy area with strays and homeless yelling at you. Anyway I ordered a shrimp a la diabla burrito of course because duh why not "they are known for their shrimp a la diabla burritos" so I never really enjoyed rice in my burrito. The shrimp a la diabla comes with diabla shrimp, tartar sauce, and rice I believe. So I had the bright idea of substituting the rice for some lettuce instead because I know it needed a filler. I know the diabla burrito can get a bit messy. But I wasn't expecting what I got when I came home to eat. It was a wet mess inside! No damn lettuce in sight, just a bunch of liquid and shrimp inside wrapped in a messy burrito. Whoever tf wrapped that burrito should get fired for that. Like 1.) why would you wrap my stuff so loose knowing there was bunch of liquid. 2.) why would you scoop all that juice inside a burrito knowing good and well it'd be wet. 3.) do you not know how to read; where was my lettuce?! So it basically broke apart and was a wet mess I literally couldn't even hold my burrito up. Never again!

Ricardo is professional and on point when it comes to catering! He showed up early, had a nice set up and cleaned up everything. He packaged up the leftover food, and left no mess. His food is amazing, everyone was asking about our taco guy and going to grab seconds! He served pollo, adobada, carne asada, rice, beans and all the toppings! He provides the plates and utensils too, so that was a plus! If you're looking for someone to serve some delicious tacos that everyone will be asking about, go ahead and hire Ricardo! You won't be disappointed.

I love trying new foods and I stumbled upon this food truck at the San Diego Kollective food fest…read more WOW Super tasty! There really isn't anything like this anywhere. It has a "puffy taco" type of vibe, deliciously crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and is topped with a meaty mixture of taco seasoned ground beef and beans, then all the fixings like shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes! The Birria grilled cheese with consomé is bomb . It tastes authentic. Super delicious and HUGE!! The service is so fast and friendly here. Great positive environment. It's easy to understand why their food taste so good, you have individuals that love what they do and it shows in the hospitality and food products. Definitely making my way back soon!

This family makes legit smoked meat!! I'm a bbq snob that always struggles to find great bbq and smoked meats in SD. Most of my family lives in Texas so we usually load up on brisket and ribs when we go. Now we don't have to go that far. Got the ribs today. Great smoke ring, terrific flavor, very juicy, and the bbq sauce is delicious and doesn't try to steal the show. He let me try the brisket too, and it is amazing. I'll get that next time. Potato salad is a great side. We will be coming back many times! Go out of your way to try their bbq. Outstanding!!!

Found these guys at a farmer's market. Smelled good but didn't think much of it but ordered a…read moresampler platter. WOW! I was blown away. Probably the best smoked brisket I've had in San Diego. Sausage was also very good. Juicy, a little bit of spice and smokey. Chicken was also very good. Bone-in chicken thighs with a good but not overwhelming char. Retained much if its moisture. Pulled pork was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad but overshadowed by the other phenomenal items. Sauce was good. Too full to eat the sides so I can't comment on that. Amazing food. Great value. Big fan.

I was fortunate enough to run into this true natured BBQ food vendor at the Burning Beard Brewery…read more The proprietor cooks all his meats the traditional way with hot flavored smoke. In fact, he smokes the meats inside modified re-engineered barrels that had been expertly designed for BBQ. I could not help myself and I ordered the smoked tri tip nachos that not only came with heavenly medium temped smoked tr tip, but with a house made baked bean made with beer. The tri tip was very well prepared and had a mild smoky flavor brought on by the quality avocado wood locally harvested and supplied by avocado growers. The meat was a perfectly smoked and was very tender and had the right moisture level. The smoked meat was topped with a drizzle of tasty BBQ sauce and laid over the the homemade baked beans and crispy tortilla chips. The beans were tender, well seasoned, and had a subtle flavor of a craft beer. Well done. The nachos came with a handsome amount of crispy tortilla chips, but one thing these nachos needed was perhaps a light garnish of chopped peppery scallions or a light sprinkle of finely shredded cheese, not just for color but for that little extra flavor profile. The gent running the smoked meat shop or real BBQ haven was a gent and quite informative regarding his trade.

I love some great BBQ, and am extra fond of the Tri-Tip he makes. I have had it several times and it's always just perfect. So tender and the flavor is always on-point. He switches up the kind of wood he cooks it over and the sauce he uses over the meat is paired perfectly with whatever you're drinking at the breweries! The quantity of food is excellent. You truly get what you pay for. If you spend $12 on nachos, you're getting $12 worth of food, which is something very rare to find nowadays. As you can see from my photo, the nachos are loaded, which I absolutely love. (Definitely enough to share! And I'm not someone that normally likes to share my food!) Same goes for the Tri-Tip sandwich. He always ensures there is more meat than bread.. that's how you do it! So grab a few friends, get some brews, and try out the Carver, Coal & Barrel! You will not be disappointed and if you're anything like my friends and I, you'll be craving it frequently!
