    Cafe Americano
    Jack M.

    Cafe Bella has several location in Ocean Beach. It is locally owned and has been around for a while now. This location is small trailer located at New Port Avenue and Cable St. I had an iced Americano with whole milk. The Americano was okay overall. It had a bitter after taste, but upfront it was good. The service was very good however. Astrid, the lady who took my order and made my espresso was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. The trailer is parked in a parking lot. They offer outside seating and may other beverages, including breakfast items.

    Unmelted chocolate! Bummed

    What can I say other than meh. Got the Mexican mocha for 6.30 and gave them 2.70 for a tip which I'm fine with as I'm a barista myself for ten years. Service chill, priced fine, but the chocolate wasn't mixed in at all. It's just a bummer. Photos show either they were busy and rushed(no not at 10am) or they just don't care. Hey, maybe someone wasn't trained properly idk. Easy fix though.

    Acai bowl

    Drive up express is the best! Quick service for my açaí bowl! It comes with acai sorbet, bananas, granola, blueberries, strawberries, coconut flakes, and honey drizzle. I don't care for processed sugar goods anymore so this is a great alternative as I can freeze it and have one bowl for 3 desserts.

    I will say that The coffee was just as good as Starbucks and two dollars cheaper. However, as I started looking around after I ordered, I noticed this little cart was really pretty dirty and could use a real good scrub down. So the ambience wasn't really up to my standards. The lady at the register was nice enough but the other servers pretty much just ignored you altogether. So that's why I'm giving three stars today.

    The service was great, they were very fast and friendly. Unfortunately, neither the food or the coffee tasted that great.

    I stopped by Kikos and had a really great experience. The staff were all very nice and welcoming,…read morewhich made the visit even better. They were friendly, helpful with the menu, and made sure everything was good. The ceviche and seafood tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and the flavors were bright and refreshing. Every bite tasted fresh and well prepared. If you're in San Diego and craving good seafood, this food truck is definitely worth checking out. Great service, fresh seafood, and a very enjoyable experience overall!

    Was craving fish ceviche while I was in the Morena area, and Kiko's came up as one of the most…read morerecommended spots. Ironically, the OG fish taco ended up being the winner--crispy, flavorful, and delicious even without adding any sauce. The fish ceviche was good, but I personally prefer Oscar's style since I like my fish thinly sliced rather than chopped. Presentation was nice with the orchid and beautifully fanned avocado, but it felt a bit overdone for food truck-style ceviche. I'd rather have a little more seafood than a flower. The octopus ceviche was surprisingly good though--tender and served in huge chunks. I was a little surprised that the octopus + shrimp combo costs more than ordering the octopus and shrimp individually. I expected either a larger portion or better value, but that didn't seem to be the case. Another disappointment was the Sunday daily special. It advertised $1.50 oysters, but I only found out there was a minimum order of six after asking, so I ended up skipping them. Read that they're featured on Netflix Taco Chronicles so I'm definitely gonna be watching it soon

    By far my favorite taco shop in San Diego. You really can't go wrong with Ortiz's. I used to live…read morenearby, and you'd catch me happily walking home with my go‑to order: carne asada fries. Now, anytime I'm in the OB/Point Loma area, stopping here is an absolute must. My favorite item will always be the carne asada fries (obviously), but hear me out -- their veggie burrito is so good. I usually find a plain bean burrito too simple, but add rice, lettuce, guac, and all the extras, and suddenly it becomes this amazing, crave‑worthy burrito I sometimes want even more than carne asada. The salsas are great, the service is excellent, and the quality is consistently amazing. They never skimp on toppings, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh.

    There is a lot of hype surrounding this location on social media, which is exactly why I wanted to…read morecheck it out in the first place. To start, I'd like to acknowledge that I know everyone has their good and bad days. That's why, after my first visit, I gave the girl working there the benefit of the doubt and really wanted to give the place a second chance. Unfortunately, for the second time now, I've experienced some of the worst customer service here, both times being with the same person. Her attitude is consistently terrible from her dismissive demeanor and rude tone to her overall approach when taking an order. It's as if I was a nuisance to her. On top of that, the food is subpar and nothing special. With the sheer amount of incredible taco shops in San Diego, there is absolutely no reason to tolerate bad service for mediocre food. You're much better off going literally anywhere else for better quality and a warmer welcome. Don't believe the hype!
