The food is excellent . I had a fish grilled in a Chipotle sauce and covered in tender shrimp and octopus that wasn't chewy or tough. Loved it. They need help with the decor, but it a reasonably priced seafood restaurant. Go! read more

I tried the ceviche de camarón tostada. A good amount of ceviche for around $6, sans tax. However in TJ, you wouldn't have to ask for crema, and they wouldn't skimp on the tostadas. There would also be complementary soda crackers. However, there was complimentary chips and salsa. So, there's that. Most likely, I will come back for a convenient location near the border and just off the freeway. read more

Dang, I used to love this place so much and always looked forward to coming here when work brought me down this way. The last time we ate here was before COVID, though, and things haven't changed for the better. They didn't have the first 3 soft drink selections we tried to order, and they didn't have the first 2 lunch items we tried to order. So already the remaining options weren't top choices. They used to bring everyone a cup of the fish consommé, which was such a treat. Now it's a $1.50 extra. Nevertheless, we would've ordered it as an extra if we'd known this was an option. But I don't usually even look at the "extras" section of menus. Previously the burritos & tacos were delicious, but my husband's Tijuana burrito was very dry. I ordered the tostada shrimp & scallop aguachiles. I got a tiny bowl of very watery aguachiles with about 5 shrimp & 7 teeny tiny scallops. This came with ONE tostada shell and a package of saltine crackers. For $18+, I was not impressed. The waitress spoke zero English; that wasn't a huge deal since I'm sufficiently bilingual, but it was still kind of surprising. Once we got (and finished) our drinks, she never returned for us to order more drinks or to check whether we needed or wanted anything else. In the past we've always received excellent service. I can't NOT tip well because I know wait staffing is often a thankless and difficult occupation, but honestly that just contributed to feeling pretty ripped off and disappointed. read more

I can see why this place is slow. Took 40mins to get our food just to find a hair on our plate. Wouldn't recommend this place at all! Save your $$$ read more

Been here a few times, food is always good, even if a little pricey for a few things. They give you a little cup of consume (soup) to start. I got the shrimp and fish soup, huge, lots of fish and shrimp. Lemonade is fresh and good. My only complaint is that service is always very slow, so plan to wait. Nice location. read more

Best seafood this side of the border. The consume is the best broth I have ever had! Been going there for years in my way to Mexico just for that consume. Everything else is very good as well read more

I tried to place an order by phone. The lady that answered the phone spoke Spanish & couldn't understand me. She put me on hold & disconnected my call. I tried calling back a few times & she just kept hanging up on me. She could at least try to help. I'm sure the owner of this business doesn't like to lose paying customers. read more

Got a california burrito and theirs had shrimp. Don't like shrimp. This was more of a surf & turf than a california burrito so i was disappointed. online also their prices says $17.99 for the burrito but i got charged $22... Disappointed at this over priced burrito i would never pay $22 for a damn burrito when their prices online say all the food is cheaper. read more

I've been here a few times but I don't think I will be spending my money here anymore. The food was mediocre, the fish tacos were good but nothing extraordinary (you can get better tacos at the roachcoach). The michelada and clamato were ok. What was definitely a "must not have", was their tostadas - the aguachile, ceviche de camarón and Al tata ($20) tostada was just bad, big disappointment. The aguachile is basically water with Chile verde- no lime or salt and mainly red onion. The tostada Tata has no flavor other than the black pasilla salsa on top(I'm assuming it's pasilla) and it's really bad. The worst part is they are understaff and the service is not the best for a Mexican sea food place that you would usually get at other sea food restaurants. The only thing I would say it's good it's their consomé (free with purchase ) other than there isn't much else nice to say. I imagine they are cutting down on quality of ingredients, you can tell. Even the ketchup seems watered down. If you do decide to come here, don't get anything that is not cooked/fried. read more

Amazing Baja experience on this side of the border I come in for the fried fish and it's never been a miss. Fresh fried fish in San Diego is hard ti find a good place. We ran into this place on the way to Mexico to get some fried fish and cocktails and decided to try it if it wasn't good we would keep rolling but they saved us lots of time and traffic. We needed up loving this place and now I come here all the time. The lady's always give us great customer service the shrimp cocktails are fire and fried fish to die for. Enjoy read more

I've been here on several occasions and have brought business partners, counterparts and others. This place never disappoints! Food is always amazing and the service is really good. read more

Very bad service. I had to walk out from this place. I sat down and waited for a waitress for about fifteen minutes, but no one came. Not coming again. read more

We ordered three tacos per person. My husband ordered the grilled shrimp, the spicy octopus and grilled sea bass fish; I ordered the grilled shrimp, the spicy octopus and fried sea bass fish. Each taco garnished with coleslaw, pickled onions, avocado sauce and crema sauce. The seafood tacos were the best tacos that we ever had. An eye appealing, delicious, a party on the palate generous portioned meal. I think we could of ordered two tacos a person because the portions were generous. The Chef does a wonderful job creating these wonderful delicious tacos that were outstanding. The shrimp perfectly grilled, octopus incredible texture and the sea bass perfection grilled and deep fried. Our server, Alex was very helpful with menu selections. He advised us to try the freshly made in house Natural Lemonade which was perfect with our meal. ( We requested little sugar, and the Natural Lemonade was PERFECT). The Fish Mart is a casual clean restaurant that is perfect for couples, families and everyone who enjoys FRESH seafood. After reading some of the previous one star ratings, perhaps, giving the Fish Market another visit may change your mind. read more

One of our go-to spots. Good prices and great food. The gobernators with spanish rice are outstanding. Love em'.

We ordered the fish tacos, one shrimp taco and one marlin taco today (7-26) from Baja Fish Mart in San Ysidro. Guessing someone in the kitchen never heard the saying: "We eat first with our eyes." The fish tacos were packed into a four compartment box where two of the compartments were much smaller than the main one; those two tacos were smashed flat open in over-lettuce stuffed corn tortillas. The other two were splayed open-- sorry I didn't add a picture. Whitish lettuce covered all of the fish tacos along with tomato bits and red onion. The fish was over the corn tortilla so by the time we tried rolling them in a hand the entire taco was overly mushy and the taco fell apart! Overall the flavor of the ingredients in the fish tacos was as unappetizing as the 1st view! The shrimp taco as likewise covered with the unsavory lettuce and bits of tomato, but the corn tortillas for these had been passed through oil that obviously hadn't been hot enough so the oil dripped from the ingredients onto the plate, on hands and clothing. The several bites taken from the ntire taco was definitely a YUCK! The shrimp in the shrimp taco had a decent flavor but again due to the old, white lettuce with little flavor, I left most of my lettuce on the plate. From my tacos I choked down a few bites of seafood, some bites from less than half of the tortillas and that was it. My wife felt a little bit better about her marlin taco but it also was not appealing. Whatever happened to this restaurant which before had been decent, our taco dinner was very unacceptable. We are very unimpressed by our purchases from Baja Fish Mart and disappointed; guess we now know we'll have to go somewhere else because this place is the totally in overpriced and underwhelming. My wife asked why the fish tacos were so much more expensive at the restaurant than the menu prices we saw online, before paying for everything?? All I can answer is, "As if we expected the site to value us as informed Customer's!??" read more

First, they take a LONG time. Second, now they bring you consumé and now they CHARGE you for it. So they bring you food that you did NOT order and CHARGE you for it. That is completely unethical. I'm not going back. I'm surprised this business has survived so long. On a good note, the food is good and affordable. But, I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

Had it not been for Groupon, I'd probably never have found myself in this restaurant but I'm glad it worked out this way. Fish Mart is located inside a shopping center off of Dairy Mart Rd. It's big, open and super clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a wide range of Mexican seafood dishes but yours truly was on the hunt for tacos and tacos I did find. Our super cool waiter was friendly and promptly brought us a fresh basket of chips, lime wedges, salsa and seafood soup, all of which are complimentary. I ordered 3 tacos: one surf & turf (carne asada and shrimp), one bacon-wrapped shrimp and one deep fried shrimp poblano taco. This was a tonnnnnnnnn of food but it was fresh, piping hot, delicious and made with high quality fish. Since this was nowhere near being a mission for healthy food, I also opted for the tamarind margarita. It was about 24 ounces of sweet, spicy, boozy deliciousness that served as the ying to the yang that were my tacos. Tasty. Last but not least, they typically have live music as well. Despite being Sunday afternoon on a rainy December day, a 4-piece mariachi band belted out an impressive set and even honored my request for some Xmas music with a great rendition of "Feliz Navidad." I'll be back for more tacos, margs and mariachi. Soon, sooooooon. read more

This location is my usual go to spot for fish tacos it's been a while since my last visit. Currently the location has been undergoing a remodeling to reduce the space for 2wks. Now it's a lot smaller with no more public restrooms. The service was great I walk in for my take out order for fish tacos that are under $2ea. Overall a positive experience with a great dinning experience it's worth visiting. read more

Do not eat here, they seemed to give us a consome Chico $1.50@ inedible, charged us for some watery salsa and chips, the shrimp tacos were canned tiny shrimps and added a 4% terminal charge, our 2 tacos each ended up at almost $60 with 1 shared Pacifico beer read more

We had a party of 10 people. Service was bad, they had no beer or any alcohol available. They had ran out. We never got spoons for our consomé (broth) we were the only table who got their concome in foam cups everyone else had it in mugs with spoons. We order multiple appetizers, tacos, plates. My niece had the pasta and her bread had MOLD , it was green. We return it they just replaced the bread not taken off the tab or discount. We never got Mayo, or anything that we asked. Server never checked up on us. And also I had to wait 15 mins for them to charge us . I had to stand up and go pay because they never came back. Bad service over all. Not going back. read more

I've been here at least 3 times within the last 2 years and I can honestly say that my visit today was the best so far! The staff was more attentive today than they have been in the past and checked-in on us more frequently. Also, the food exceeded expectations based on past visits. I highly suggest the surf & turf, doña Maria, & the costa azul tacos. You won't be disappointed! read more

Family owned and operated, very cozy and very clean atmosphere. Service was outstanding and very pleasant, the fish tacos outstanding and full of flavor, tacos were not dripping oil and the batter was light and flaky. One of us had the TJ Burrito and it's was a huge full size burrito filled with carne asada, shrimp, rice melted cheese and took 1/2 of it home. Agua de Pepino was very fresh and flavorful and so was the Mango Margarita was very tasty like a chamango. Will definitely be back and try their capechana cocktail and their Pulpo cocktail. Gracias!!! read more

I've been to this place twice, with my last visit being about 15 years ago. Back then, I didn't enjoy the food. This time, I was craving something fresh and decided to give it another try. I placed my order via a phone call, my call was answered immediately and my order was taken. I ordered two fish tacos and two shrimp tacos, all without onions, and a large pulpo cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised--the tacos were incredible! The fish was crispy, not soggy, and the shrimp tacos were generously filled with shrimp. The cocktail was excellent, cold, and delicious it had plenty of pulpo. I would definitely return. However, I gave them 4 stars because the large octopus cocktail was $28, which I found a bit expensive. I expected a large serving, but the portion was small, about the size of a small Coke at Burger King. Despite this, the food was great, and I would go again. Sorry for lack of picture. read more

Today I experienced the worse thing that a restaurant can have with employees. As I waited for an order, the gentleman working in the kitchen (seemed to be the cook) grabbed a few french fires and ate them while cooking and prepping orders. The gentleman continued to do this behavior for quite some time not only eating but also liking his fingers as he grabbed tortillas and other ingredients to prep the orders without washing his hands. read more

Very slow service. Waitress was slower than a snail and not very smart.... 12 people in the restaurant for lunch (2 people in our party) , but she was still overwhelmed. Food was great, when we got it an hour later... Pretty sure the waitress forgot to put our order in with the 12 customers.. The chef is fire. You guys need smarter waitresses' though. Please get better workers read more

In the mood for some amazing seafood this is your spot. The taco "Dona Maria"was the most impressive taco I've experienced. I'm a taco lover, but this one had my mouth jumping for joy. Their green creme sauce was the cherry on top of this meal. Do yourself a favor and come try this over the top seafood treat. We will be back to try their fried fish another specialty that smelled up th whole room. read more

Good is food and service just Okay they're understaffed but overall it's a good restaurant.

We wanted some fish tacos today and my friend suggested Baja Fish Mart. The fish were covered with a light batter and were slightly crispy. The cabbage and onions added more of a crunch to the tacos. The sauce that's included gave the tacos a great taste. If you want more of a citrusy flavor, they do provide limes for you to sprinkle onto the tacos. The combo comes with rice and beans, the essentials for mexican food. read more

Located right off I5 in San Ysidro 2 miles from the Tijuana border crossing. A very spacious and well lit interior. The menu in both Spanish and English helps a lot. I ordered the Shrimp burrito, the shrimp is grilled and covered in crema and pick de Gallo garnish. Simply fantastic, full flavors racking the taste buds plus the awesome hotsause paired up just right. Rice and beans as good as any fine food establishment. My wife had the grilled fish tacos, everything's huge, between us two we could have fed 4 persons. Overall 5 stars on the food and restaurant, 4 stars on service due to slow greeting, order taking, when they are not busy it seemed a bit annoying. Remember people it's about customer service ! read more

Usually this place is pretty good, but today I was waiting for like 35 minutes for 2 fish tacos & they never served them to me. I saw other people who got there after me and they were eating while I was waiting for my 2 tacos. I got up and told the waitress to cancel my order and she just said ok, didn't even bother to ask me why or at least say let me check your order. This place used to have real good service, not no more. Not sure if I'll ever come back here. Very disappointed with service today read more
