    Blackened Chicken Plate

    5 Stars if they bring back the BLACKENED CHICKEN!! Baja fish tacos had the best blackened chicken I have ever had. Deliciously juicy tender blackened chicken. I still dream of it!!! Everything here is really good but the Blackened Chicken was the BEST!!! If you know you know, they have taken it off the menu years ago then brought it back a few years back just to take it away again!!!

    The tacos were just ok. I tried the carne asada taco and charbroiled chicken taco. The tacos came with salsa already, lot of toppings. I wish it had more flavor. The green sauce made it better though. The pico de gallo was very light too, but very fresh. My friends really love the combo with the enchilada though! The inside was super spacious, lots of tables, outside as well, with shade over the tables. The waiter was very friendly. He delivered the food and cleared the plates from the table too.

    This is my favorite place for Mexican food. It reminds me of the incredible food I had in San Blas, Mexico. The best shrimp tacos anywhere! My only pet peeve is their use of an industrial cleaner to mop the floors, and they spray down the tables with another high power cleaner. It makes the room smell. Every time we go there, they mop the floor with this cleaner that stinks up the whole place. Along with that, the workers go around and spray a cleaner on all the tables and door. The spay carries in the air and lands on my rice. Please use another cleaner without that smell. Ugh.

    Carne Asada + Guac
    Christopher S.

    I came here after dark, hungry, expecting something comforting. Instead, I got robbed under fluorescent lights. Three carne asada tacos. That's it. No drinks. No sides. No atmosphere worth noting. Just three small tacos that somehow cost thirty dollars. Each taco was $6.50 -- and they had the audacity to charge $3 for a smear of guacamole so small it could have been applied with a Q-tip. It felt sinister. The kind of quiet robbery where everyone around you pretends it's normal -- like we've all agreed to let the place drain our wallets while smiling at the counter. You can almost feel the contempt in the pricing. This isn't a restaurant anymore. It's a toll booth for the hungry, run by people who clearly despise their own customers. No warmth, no value, just corporate greed wrapped in a tortilla. I left angry. Not just at the price -- but at the insult. The sheer arrogance of it. If this is what they call "dinner," I'd rather go hungry. Baja Fish Taco, congratulations. You've achieved something rare: turning loyal locals into lifelong boycotters.

    This place is such a great hidden gem! I've been coming here for years for the Shrimp Tacos, Chips and Guacamole, and of course the salsa bar. The service is always great, and everyone that I've encountered dining has always been super polite. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for some great food!

    This restaurant is AMAZING. It was recommended by a friend of a friend and blew us away. We read the reviews about how good the shrimp tacos were, so 3 of us got them. They were incredible! Full of flavor, yet not too spicy for my sister and I who have a low spice tolerance 2 of us got the combo plate which comes with rice and beans, and there were more than enough rice and beans to share. Between the 7 of us, we had the shrimp, fish, and carne asada burritos, and shrimp, fish, and carne asada tacos which were all thoroughly enjoyed by our party. The staff were very kind and serviceable. The restaurant is clean and has a cute coastal vibe. We will definitely be adding this to our Newport roster and be back soon!

    I don't eat here enough and I should because I love all their tacos. It's a good size and it's always a long line when I come here but I got here at a good time. Their fresh salsa bar is always my favorite too, their pico is just so perfect, I can't get it like that anywhere else. I always get the grilled and fried fish taco here and that was enough for me that day. I usually get 4 tacos but this time, I just needed 2 since I was gonna be busy that day.

    I stopped here on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. They are gluten free friendly and the person who took my order at the counter recommended the grilled/blackened fish and shrimp tacos on corn tortillas. I was really disappointed by both because they were quite bland. I didn't find any of their salsas to be spicy. I had to add Tapatío for more spice. I enjoyed their hibiscus iced tea. The staff was very friendly and stayed on top of clearing the tables, making sure everything was clean and picked up, etc., so that made for a nice dining experience.

    My absolute go to. Post surf, post workout or just a good, healthy dinner. Definitely a must and quite arguably the best fish taco in town.

He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

    5-Star Review: Shuck Oyster Bar in Costa Mesa - Absolutely Outstanding Seafood Experience!…read moreI recently visited Shuck Oyster Bar in Costa Mesa (located at 3313 Hyland Ave suite C 21), and wow - it exceeded every expectation! If you're a seafood lover, especially oysters or creative tacos, this place is a must-try. We started with the oysters from Washington - a beautiful variety platter of four different types. Each one was fresher and more incredible than the last, with that perfect briny pop and clean finish. They were absolutely amazing and easily some of the best I've ever had. Then came the tacos, and they stole the show. The lobster tacos were out of this world - on a completely different level! Tender, flavorful lobster with perfect seasoning and toppings that made every bite pure bliss. The fish tacos were excellent - fresh, crispy, and perfectly balanced. And don't sleep on the shrimp tacos either; they were delicious and rounded out an epic trio. The calamari was some of the best I've ever tasted - light, crispy, and not greasy at all. We also got the lobster roll, which was again on another level - generous portions of sweet lobster in a buttery roll that was just heavenly. To top it off, the fish and chips were spot-on: crispy batter, flaky fish, and that classic satisfaction. A great touch was the cucumber-infused water - so refreshing and a nice thoughtful detail. The atmosphere is fantastic: chill vibe, not too noisy, and since we went before noon, it wasn't busy at all - perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, Shuck Oyster Bar is now one of my absolute number-one go-to spots in Orange County. I can't wait to come back - probably very soon! If you love oysters, fresh seafood, or just great food in a cool setting, you've gotta try this place. Highly recommend to friends, family, and anyone who appreciates quality seafood. 10/10 - we'll be regulars!

    First time visitor Opening parking lot…read more Location can be seen from parking lot but there are 2 entrances Primarily indoor dining and few outdoor spots Reservations seems to be a preference as everyone entering asked if they had a reservation but walk in we're still accommodated Happy hour weekly specials that inside oysters clams and and drinks Bar sitting and some table sitting available as everything is more on the compact side It can get very noisy but everyone was having a upbeat good time 2 flat screens for sports Food wise a little of everything was available from shareable, seafood style dishes like tacos and uni pasta and lobster linguini, along with burgers and sliders both fish and chicken Shucking of oysters or clams is visible at bar top and it would appear the place got busy real quick but was short handed as the servers were doing a bit of everything but also took time to notice patrons were looking for assistance and grabbing orders to run. Also very much chatting with each other and even when making eye contact with servers for assistance was ignored. Food wise order the dozen oyster chef choice, grill cheese, chowder fries, ahi and lobster taco Dozen oyster there were 3 types all on the brinier side with the final ones more brinier than others and accompany with ginger 2 types of chili sauce and pickle red onion Chowder fries a bit on the salty side with some bites but had a nice chowder and fries ratio With little heat from the Fresno chili that were garnished Tacos were served with in a blue corn tortilla, for $6 each on the smaller side like a street taco and flavors wise pretty basic, didn't stand out very much Grill cheese with 4 pieces very buttery toast nice crunch and gooey melty cheeses Overall pretty decent food but wasn't impress with the service and though short handed, there wasn't a sense of urgency to assist, minimal acknowledgment, and wasn't checked back on after food was dropped off as others were being asked around us Also noticed in their food kitchen window as dishes were waiting to be picked up there was a plate of burger and fries and someone from the kitchen twice with barehand taking bunches of fries from a already prepare plate to be delivered. Seemed very odd. Unsure if would return to this establishment.
