    Shrimp Tacos
    Gerald P.

    Hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in seafood ceviches! It was so good! My son ordered a Large Enamorada. I ordered Birria Ramen. My Husband ordered Shrimp Tacos. They have great tasting sauces! Every ingredients were fresh! I cannot wait to come here and go down the menu again and try everything! The servers were so nice and helpful especially on what food to order. By the time we left, a line has formed outside already and that tells me my son made the right choice for lunch!! Try it!!

    El Prieto

    Love this place! The food and service are always top notch easily a 10/10 The owners are incredibly kind and attentive, and Sochi always serves with so much care and the sweetest smile. The El Prieto is my go-to favorite, but honestly everything on the menu is amazing. The ambiance is lively, fun, and they even have outdoor seating. Parking can take a few extra minutes sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. Loveee this placeee!

    While visiting San Diego, we were seeking a place to cure our mariscos cravings and spotted this cute little establishment with ample street parking. I love that you can order at the window from the friendly staff, and that there is a modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Something that drew us to Ferchaladas was the eclectic menu with some of the freshest options. I immediately chose the Tamarindo Jicama ceviche and a birria taco for good measure. My ceviche came stacked with fresh shrimp, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and jicama with a generous toss of the tamarind sauce. The tajin on the home made tostada was a nice touch. This dish was perfection. My birria taco was phenomenal and also made to perfection. My daughter liked her Hija De Su** Madre Tostada but preferred my son in law's meal. He has a habit of always choosing the best things on any given menu! We all loved his El Prieto ceviche which came tossed in a black sauce with cucumber, red onion, tomato, and avocado. I highly suggest coming here with dining partners that love to eat so you can try a variety of dishes. I will most definitely return when in SD.

    Hidden Gem Alert!!!! Must Try ASAP!!!! Randomly driving by and noticed all the benches outside were full... flipped a U-turn and went down to try it out. Ordered a Birria Nachos to go and Shrimp Taco while I waited. The taco was amazing!!! Packed with flavor, crunchy, cheesy, juicy, soooo good! They bring over 4 large salsa bottles to each table. My favorite was the Serrano salsa (green bottle)... super spicy but delicious. All of them were great! The Birria nachos were HUGE!!!! Packed with meat, crunchy nachos, cheese, Ben's, onions, etc... I was stuffed but couldn't stop eating. I didn't try them YET but a few others had ceviche's... they were stacked so high. Vibe was fun and relaxing. The service was great. They were fast and friendly. Indoor dining room was small but enough for a few small groups. Outdoor, they had a bunch of large picnic tables along the sidewalk and side of restaurant. Street parking. 100% coming back.

    We got the signature ceviche and both the shrimp and octopus tacos. The ceviche is huge, with all the seafood in a creamy ceviche sauce, and super delicious - signature for a reason. The tacos are hefty and flavorful as well, though the shrimp and octopus were both slightly over. Sauces were tasty. All in all very solid mariscos spot and will have to come back to try the birria as well!

    Our group of 8 came here for a pre-roadtrip meal and the food was amazing! We each ordered 2-3 tacos and then shared 3 ceviches and a large shrimp and octopus fries. All the food came in generous portions. Our mistake was ordering 2-3 tacos each when we really only needed 1 with how many dishes we got to share. I got the shrimp and octopus taco and the SD taco - both were great! Can't remember what my favorite ceviche was but I thought all of them were worth getting. Staff was accommodating to our large group and were very friendly!

    Food The food is delicious!! And not too pricey! I was only able to try the birria tacos and shrimp tacos but I already want to go back! Every ingredient is fresh. The tacos are flavorful but not too heavy. Service The staff is very friendly and easy to chat with. They are very accommodating with to go boxes and sauce to go! Ambience Super clean and super cozy! There's plenty of seating inside with outdoor seating as well.

    Shrimp & Birria Taco
    Marcie L.

    I came here on a Saturday right before closing, and the place was pretty empty. There was just one family finishing up as I arrived. Parking is street parking only, but I got lucky and found a spot on a nearby side street. They're cash only, but they also accept Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. It was surprisingly chilly inside. It was about 57° outside, so I'm not sure why the AC was blasting. Cell service is pretty bad inside, so if you're eating solo, don't expect to doom scroll or send texts. My food came out in about 10 minutes. I ordered: Shrimp taco: Absolutely delicious. The shrimp had great flavor and were piled on generously. Birria taco: Crispy, fresh, and loaded with meat. They bring out four different sauces, though none are labeled. Still, they really elevate the tacos. One downside is that they don't offer free water. You have to buy a bottled water for $2, which feels a bit steep. Overall, the staff was very friendly and the prices were reasonable. $4 for the birria taco and $7 for the shrimp taco. Definitely quality food.

    Barria taco with cheese
    Kia S.

    I don't normally sit in the restaurant to write, until now! Small gem, located on a relaxed busy street, a mix of homes and businesses. Parking is limited, not like you won't find something but be mindful to start looking. A decision was hard to make, so many smiling faces and delicious plates. I came at a good time, one of the owners was there running the cashier and helped me make a decision. I went with Our Famous "Hija de su P^+@ Madre Tostada" (yes that's how it's spelled) and barria taco with cheese. Both hit different! I felt myself being transported. This is just bomb dot com good. Another way you know its good. They are open til sold out or 6pm, whichever comes first. I sat near some regulars who come every single Sunday. Yep, I will be back.

    Best tacos in San Diego. The tacos are big with very generous portions of meat, lots of flavor in the sauces with a hint of spice. They took longer to cook but, the wait was well worth it! The restaurant is small and it takes cash only and the service was great. The ambiance is of a family restaurant with a very cool mural painted outside. I saw other people's orders and the plates were impressive. Next time I go there I'm going to try one of the ceviches.

    The BOMBEST Mom n Pop seafood/Mariscos joint in SD and beyond!!! From basic to Boujie taste this spot has it all. Been coming here since it opened and haven't looked back since, definitely on the rotation!!! You're greeted and served by the owners who are awesomely courteous, respectful and give you guidance on their dishes. Had the Famous Hija Tostada, the combo cocktail, and the Birria taco and they were ALL TOP TIER!!! Tables inside or outside for the weather, to suit your comfort level. #mariscosgroceros for the WIN!!!!!

    Hands down the best Shrimp Tacos in San Diego, and possibly Ceviche! I went to Ferchaladas a month ago but still dream about those shrimp tacos. We also ordered the birria tacos and shrimp ceviche which was hella good. They give you plenty of chips/shells to go with the ceviche which was nice, and I'd also order the birria tacos again. But the real star of the show has to be the shrimp tacos which are packed with a ton of flavor and goes perfect with their sauces. Service wise they were friendly and welcoming, and did a good job handling to go orders and dine in guests. Overall a great experience! Would I go again? Absolutely!

    ceviche (fish only)
    Trang N.

    may this place stay in business forever. it was SO good. staff there had good vibes, there was alot of seating and parking just around the corner. mind you, i dont even like shrimp, but their food looked so good i just had to try it. they provide you with 4 sauce bottles which i assume are chipotle sauce, cilantro sauce, salsa verde and salsa roja. all of them were worth trying. shrimp taco: 9/10, WAS SO GOOD. shrimp fries: 7.5, was definitely good, but it just wasn't what i expected taste-wise for loaded fries. for reference, if you typically get like carne asada fries or something, these are a completely different taste profile. (fish) ceviche: 10/10 literally ascended to heaven had a flashback ratatouille moment. tldr: TRY THIS PLACE

I knew it was a speakeasy but he did not. I was trying to double-check on my phone that Craft & Commerce was the right restaurant its housed in (yes) when he tried to jet set off down the block "to keep looking" rather than listen to me. I yelled, "MOTHER!" by accident and then he did truly leave me hahaha. He resurfaced a few minutes later, and then we walked in. It was 5:15 at the time, so 15 minutes after opening. I had NO IDEA how popular this spot was, nor anything about its nation-wide reputation. I actually didn't know that until two days ago when a Yelp-friend at home here in Richmond, Virginia, exclaimed excitedly when I told her we stopped in. The host who greeted us was kind, informed us there had been a line to get in that day, but that they had one barrel left; we jumped on it of course. It was happy hour, so the first cocktail I ordered was dirt cheap at $9. It was the Imperial Hawaiian with gin, rum, lemon, pineapple, and orgeat. I really shouldn't have ordered a second drink after that one, but I did have the classic Saturn later on in the night and it was absurdly good! Definitely my favorite of the two. The moody tiki vibe was so cool and fun. They even had frogs you could play on the tables. We had some fun neighbors too, which livened up the experience even more. We had a great time and both walked out heavily buzzed. We were asleep by 8 that night, but it was worth it!

We arrived about 10-15 minutes before opening, let the staff know we were walk-ins, and they were super accommodating--they gave us about 60 minutes at a table despite reservations coming in. The space itself is very small and tucked inside another venue, but that honestly adds to the charm. It's dimly lit with a unique, immersive vibe--think jungle-inspired with eclectic decor. At one point, there were rumbling sounds and subtle vibrations through the chairs, which made the whole experience feel interactive and different from your typical bar. The drinks were creative and fun (one of my friends even kept the drink garnish as a collectible), and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout. It's definitely more about the ambiance and experience than anything else. I'd come back again--especially around the holidays to see how they switch up the decor. If you're looking for something a little different and don't mind a cozy, darker setting, it's worth checking out.

We had spent most of the day around Bankers Hill and decided to grab an early dinner at Books & Records. Getting reservations was easy, but from the moment we walked in, the ambiance alone already had us sold. The place was still pretty quiet when we arrived, and to our surprise it was happy hour, so naturally we ordered a bunch of items off the menu along with drinks. Everything was ridiculously good. Not one miss. What really stood out though was the attention to detail. The host brought us a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing we were celebrating our anniversary. Small gesture, big impact. Stuff like that matters. As the night went on, the restaurant filled up, live music started playing, and the whole atmosphere just came alive. Our waiter never rushed us once, which made the experience feel even more intentional and relaxed. We were able to actually enjoy the moment instead of feeling pushed through dinner service. Good food is one thing. Great hospitality is another. This place gave us both. Next time we're in San Diego, we're absolutely making it a point to come back. Lovely spot. Lovely experience.

There was several couples seated at the bar area but lots of open high tables in the middle and a large party seated on the side. I quickly noticed too on the way inside that there's about 3 different sections of seating for people so they must get very packed!!! We sat at the high table next to where I think a live band would be performing, since there was a spot nearby with a bunch of wiring going on. Definitely looks amazing inside with the decor and furniture of the spot adding some pleasant vibes. I don't think there's that much, but there are just enough records and books when you look around (and also use the restroom). This spot seems to be best for those who want to drink with their meals. We didn't drink this time around because we had a long drive back to LA. We absolutely enjoyed the Pork Belly Bao Buns and utilized the happy hour deal to enjoy it with a side of their deliciously crisp fries. The flat iron steak was also very yummy and left us wanting to eat more... Yeah, if you're the type to need a lot to be filled up you either need to pay another entree to eat more or eat some dessert afterwards. Anyways, this spot was perfect for a date night and we were treated very well by the staff and our server!!!

I've been to The Balboa plenty of times and had no idea this was even here. The space is intimate, but well-designed.

It strikes a nice balance of being lively without feeling overcrowded. They had DJs playing. It wasn't too loud so you were still able to socialize and hear one another. Drinks were solid.

Overall, it's a great late-night spot that feels a little more tucked-away and intentional than your typical bar scene. Definitely worth checking out!

    My partner and I were excited to check out Monday Jazz Night and their drinks! We got dinner at…read moreThe Balboa before hand which is where Charade is located. On google it says opens they open at 7pm. But they dont let people in until 7:30pm. So keep that in mind if your planning on checking out Jazz Night. The space itself was very cozy and intimate. We got there early so we were able to get a table. It filled it pretty fast so I would recommend getting their early. I got their Lenny Sands. Very tasty. It was a good take on an old fashion. Will definitely be back and try out their other drinks. Our waitress Cassandra was actually their sommelier! Which was pretty cool! She mentioned that they could be doing more wine options and tastings. We will definitely be back for that!
