    Breaded halibut, scallop, and octopus taco
    Lisa T.

    Pretty standard tacos. We went for a mix of sí food tacos: breaded halibut, grilled octopus, and breaded scallop. My favorite taco of the three is the octopus! The breaded tacos were crispy, though I mainly tasted the batter moreso than the fish itself. Everything is fresh made to order. With that being said, the breaded items may take some time to prepare. We waited maybe over 30 mins for our tacos to come out. Very cute and colorful restaurant with outdoor seating.

    Came to this place with some friends while doing a food tour of San Jose. The woman at the cash register was nice and helpful. About the food, tacos specifically, because I love great street tacos, this place was kind of a miss for me. My carne asada meat came out like warm straight from the kitchen which is a bad sign, but also lacked any sort of seasoning. Sadly for me if the carne asada isn't good you can already tell where my carnitas is going. 2/5 The carnitas were super dry, did I maybe get the last of the meat from the container? It also came out luke warm from the kitchen. As soon as they dropped it off to the table I tried the meat from my To go container before leaving. 2/5 Maybe I'll give this place another try, but after our first visit it's a little hard for me to justify coming back. Food: 2/5* Ambiance: 3/5* Customer service: 4/5* Note: my rating is on the food itself not anything else.

    My go to meal here is the Taco Sampler with rice and pozole paired with the pescarita cadillac margarita. Their michelada is great. Nice spot and can get busy.

    Halibut tacos

    if you are in the mood for some fish tacos, this is the place! You will not be disappointed. They have a great selection of tacos, burritos and plate options on the menu. Their drinks are so fresh! It's a small parking lot, walk up to order and sit. They have inside and outdoor seating. Service is prompt and attentive. It can take longer on weekends as it is a small business. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

    Fish and chips with a side of pozole.

    We came around dinnertime. It wasn't too busy, so we were seated immediately. We ordered fish and chips (with a side of pozole), a si food chimichanga (with breaded halibut), two breaded halibut tacos, two salmon tacos, chips con guacamole y salsa, a regular horchata, and a cold brew horchata. The fish and chips were decent. While the fish and chips themselves are unseasoned, they come with some condiments. The pozole was good; some of the meat in it was tender, but some were tough. The chimichanga was huge! The breaded halibut inside stayed relatively crispy for some time, and overall, it was pretty tasty. I wish there was a little more salsa, though, to help brighten up the flavors. The tacos were pretty decent - the breaded halibut, as it was in the chimichanga, was nice and crispy. The salmon was a little on the drier side, though. The chips were good. The salsa and guacamole are well made, and the chips' crunchiness was a great compliment to the meal. For some reason, we thought the cold brew horchatas would be "horchata brewed in cold water" as opposed to cold brew coffee and horchata. Coffee at dinnertime was certainly a choice for us. In any case, the horchata wasn't that good - too sweet, yet sort of bland.

    Sí food tacos are good. Ordered three: breaded halibut, breaded scallops and octopus. Very fresh and they are perfect summer light lunch. The lady at cashier is friendly and helpful. I came at around 1pm during weekdays so it was not busy and has very calm and chill vibe.

    Halibut taco

    A delicious Mexican restaurant offering a great variety of seafood dishes with a lovely patio. I love Dia de Pesca's Sí Food tacos, especially their Halibut tacos. Rice and beans are delicious as well. Service explains the menu well and makes our dining experience pleasant.

    Lovely place. I am planing to comeback and keep trying more food. I visited with my husband and It was a nice, cute and clean place to seat and enjoy some good food. Place is small but super cute and kind customer service.

    Bought for lunch. Got enchilada with red sauce. The sauce was more of a paste not a sauce. Which made the enchiladas dry. Wouldn't go again.

    IMHO First time here with my friend. We love trying out new places. This is a very colorful and charming Mexican restaurant that looks like it was once a gas station. I don't know that for a fact but there was a sign above the door that said, "NO SMOKING, STOP YOUR MOTOR". There is a small parking lot that maybe serves 9 spaces. There is both inside and outside dining. The patio tables are tiled and seating spacious. Most of the diners were eating outside on this lovely day. You order and pay at the front counter and take the order number to your table. I paid in cash, which saved me 3%, since I wasn't using credit. Don't forget the tip box!! I ordered the Fish n' Chips special, which came with a salad on the plate. I don't know what my friend ordered, but she loved her grilled taco. You'll just have to look at the pictures! My fish was super tasty and crispy! The gentleman who took our order was probably also the chef. It seemed like a one-man show. That's probably why it took a while for our food to make an appearance. The table we chose also needed to be cleared from the previous diners, but it was the only one left with shade. He apologized when he came to clear. Service was extremely friendly and helpful when asked. My fish n' chips platter came with cocktail sauce, which was a bit spicy for my fries. I didn't want to wait for Humberto to come back out to ask for ketchup, so I went inside. He graciously went into the fridge to get me a chilled squeeze bottle of ketchup! I think my salad had chipotle sauce on it instead of thousand island too. I will definitely return to Dia de Pesca!

    Generous portions! I ordered the salmon chimichanga and knew I was going to be taking it home so I chose to get the sauces on the side. The flour tortilla was fried, flakey and buttery. The sauces paired well with the salmon, though I would try the sea bass next time. Nice homey style restaurant and you order and pay at the front.

    Three Taco Sampler
    Julie S.

    We had gotten delivery from Dia de Pesca a few times during lockdown but this was the first time I took the bf to actually eat there in person. I ordered the three taco sampler that had a fried fish, a grilled fish, and some kind of meat taco. It came with two side options so I went for rice and beans. Also ordered shrimp ceviche for us to share. The bf got a vegetarian burrito that he said was one of the best vegetarian burritos ever because it had a lot of grilled vegetables inside. I felt like the prices were pretty reasonable and the portion sizes were good. The ceviche had a ton of shrimp! Their outdoor eating area is really special - it seems like you are eating in someone's garden. Lots of plants separating the eating area from the parking lot, and all the tables are colorful. We will definitely return.

    Dia de Pesca is one of our weeknight favorites - my girlfriend from San Diego has said it's her top Mexican food place in the Bay. We always get takeout, and the food is fab. Staff are so nice, and it's great they have sizeable indoor/outdoor dining. We love the sifood burritos and taco sampler. Sooo good! My pic is terrible but we always get too excited to eat right away to take pics.

Thankfully, the masses have not found it yet. My regular order is as follows: - Combo 1 with 2lbs of head on shrimp and 1lb of clams. House special sauce medium - House special sauce spicy on the side - Rice on the side (mandatory) - Strawberry lemonade Some week days, they also have raw oysters for a dollar so check that out! An amazing deal that is hard to find in SJ (more prevalent up in SF from lived experience). I usually get the same staff member. I think his name is Cory and he is super friendly and attentive! Highly recommend checking it out if you like seafood boil as much as I do!

    Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing…read more The seafood arrived only warm, and the additional sauce we ordered was barely lukewarm. The fries and garlic noodles came out about 20 minutes after the seafood by which point we had already finished eating. We also had to flag our server down twice to follow up on the fries and garlic noodles. The service itself was okay, but the timing and lack of follow-up were frustrating. The oysters were particularly disappointing. They looked sad and were not what we expected. I also ordered a Coke Zero but received Diet Coke instead despite Coke Zero being listed on the restaurant's website. Most concerning, I became sick with what I believe was food poisoning after the meal. I can't definitively say the restaurant caused it, but the timing was concerning and made an already disappointing experience even worse. Lastly, they advertised a free appetizer for signing up for their rewards program with an entrée purchase. We signed up and purchased an entrée, but when we tried to redeem the offer, we were denied and told to use it on our next visit instead. Given our experience, there won't be a next visit. Overall, between the lukewarm food and sauce, delayed sides, disappointing oysters, incorrect drink, getting sick afterward, and the rewards promotion not being honored, this was an extremely disappointing experience. We won't be coming back.

After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed. Ordered: Shackie's Sauce (Hot) Shrimp & Mussels Combo Snow Crab Clusters Garlic Noodles Garlic Fries The seafood boil was nowhere near the quality it used to be. The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.

We arrived on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza area in Cupertino off the Vallco Parkway close to where Vallco Shopping Mall once stood. Parking is available in the parking garage in the plaza. The restaurant is medium size but maximizes the space efficiently with plenty of booths and tables for dine in. The modern decor is nice and sleek. Whereas the vibe is bustling and welcoming. We ordered the combo of 2 pounds of shrimp with heads on, garlic noodles, and 2 steamed rice. The seafood boil came out in a large silver bowl instead of the usual large clear bag. I found this to be much better in presentation. Everything was so delicious. The captain Loui sauce was so flavorful and sweet. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Garlic noodles were tasty. A couple of saucy yummy corn and potato were found in the bowl which was a good surprise. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Cap't Loui. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The combo options were a great deal. Free Ice cream popsicles for dessert were a nice surprise at the end. We will definitely be back as their seafood boil is one of the better options in the South Bay.

    Cute little space in a very Asian-centric strip near that McCarthy Ranch area, right below Koi…read morePalace iykyk. Loved the quaint atmo, dark colors with zen vibes and the small space made me feel like I found a gem in an alley in Japan. Unique menu where they'll do a few fried apps, udon soups where they told me the noodles are homemade. And this rice seafood bowl where minced up tuna and other sushi ingredients are all in one bowl. I've had chirashi hundreds of times but I've never had a bowl quite like this...so I had to give it a whirl. Take Bowl ($33/4*) So this gets presented in a very Japanese fashion. On a tray with a decorative ceramic bowl containing the seafood and rice, a matching ceramic bottle of homemade soy sauce, a pickled cabbage side and a nice big wooden spoon. In that bowl is a base of warm plain short grain rice, topped with a generous mound of minced raw tuna, a little snow crab, a few chunks of raw scallop and this particular version has a ton of salmon roe. It is garnished with a small nori sheet, some scallions, pickled ginger and wasabi. So very familiar ingredients if you're a fan of sushi, but the experience is one I can say I've never done. Menu says to first make your own hand roll with that nori sheet, stuff it to your hearts content. Once that's done you can eat the bowl as you wish. Hopefully with a dousing of the soy/wasabi combo as the minced fish is completely plain, no seasoning. I kinda mixed the seafood mixture into the rice a bit, not sure if that's the move. Now here's my take on this new way to eat sushi ingredients. I liked it but I didn't love it. I think I would much rather just eat a chirashi or a tartare prep from a sushi chef, as those have texture and flavor added by a chef. Here you have to do everything yourself and often there can be a learning curve to the new experience. Like I had to add the soy/wasabi mix several times, as I just couldn't figure out the right amount as their soy sauce is much less salty than commercial versions. And I was too concerned on not going overboard and ruining my bowl, so I was doing it in a very cautious but cumbersome manner. Also since everything was so minced up, the overall texture is very one note, soft and mushy. At least with a chirashi you can sense each fish's firmness and unique texture. Here the chopped tuna, chopped scallop and shredded crab are all soft, and with the soft rice, was just a mush fest for me. There were small hunks of cucumber and pickled lotus root that gave little hits of crunch, but still not enough for me. I will say the seafood is very fresh and in good portioning. Fried Squid Legs ($4.50/4*) Very small skewer of trimmed up calamari tentacles fried tempura style. The fry is very light. The tentacles remain quite tender yet with a slight chew. But the crispness was minimized by the light fry. Still decent with the cold seafood bowl, to go back and forth on the bites. I'd still come back to try those homemade udon noodles, now that I've knocked out their seafood bowl. Give me an adventure and I'll delve right in. Thanks Yaichi for providing such an adventure.
