Chips & pico de gallo, hazy ipa
James W.

Tasty fish tacos & wraps. My wife thought their shrimp tacos were some of the best she's ever had. I had a wild-caught catch-of-the-day swordfish Coastal wrap which was also delicious. We added a side chips & pico de gallo & Hazy IPA - great lunch - so much better than fast food after hiking Annie's Trail. A bit pricier but fresh & high quality.

I have been going here for a while when down this way. This is a go-to spot to keep on your list for consistently tasty, fast (but not fast food), fresh food at a great value. Prices here beat out most other places you can go and you can walk out of here for a great meal for under $20. We like the fish tacos (huge and stuffed with fish and cabbage and stuff), salmon sandwich-tasty salmon filet with slaw of carrot, cucumber, lettuce and other tasty stuff, fish and chips (portion of two pieces is plenty for most people), fried shrimp is good too. Poke bowls are also a great choice. Haven't had a meal that I haven't been satisfied with here. Put this on you keeper list. It's a must visit.

Mahi Burger

Nice little casual joint located amidst a shopping center in Solana Beach. The menu is pretty good and the service is average. That said, the Mahi Burger and the fries here are amazing!

Cup of Clam Chowder
Jane A.

PLAZA EATS (3.5 stars) - FOOD: average - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: simple eatery with tables Located in a plaza in the sleepy neighborhood of Solano Beach is this little eatery serving up fried seafood. Not very busy but feel like the people that do come here are frequent flyers. BATTERED FISH - KIDS MEAL ($10.5) - Two fish pieces, served with a side/picked French fries, and a drink. What can I say? I eat like a bird. This meal was very filling that I had to pack half of it. It was plenty for a kids meal but I always wasn't devouring it because it was just okay-average. The batter on the fish tasted like plain fried donut (no seasoning and kind of cake-y flavor). The fries were crispy but plain. You do have to reply on the dips and condiments for flavor. I squirted lemon and tried both dipping sauces (dill dip which tasted like ranch and dill and tartar sauce; tartar sauce was a lot better). RECOMMEND CUP OF NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER ($7.5) - Clams, creme, potato, onion, carrot, celery. I was impressed with their clam chowder until after my meal I had the urgency to "drop the kids off at the poolside". It was hearty and creamy, not stringy on the clam meat, and full of flavor. Was it my favorite? it was good but I've had better. RECOMMEND (TUMS Recommended) Until the next review....

Clam chowder
Ellie N.

I looked at the menu before and knew I wanted the clam chowder and fish and chips on this chilly day. The place is a fast casual place. Plenty of seating, you can sit down and they have a QR menu and you can directly order from your seat. Very reasonable priced, the most expensive item on their menu is $16. The food was great, we ordered clam chowder cup with a Half tuna melt for an extra $6.50; and fish and chips. Would recommend this place, from the tartar sauce, the crispy exterior well seasoned soft on the inside fish and chips. The tuna melt wasn't super mayo-ish and bread was well toasted. They had a selection on non seafood items as well as wine/beer list.

I absolutely love this place! We used to have one in Orange County, but it unfortunately closed. My favorites are there fish tacos and fish and chips. They are fried to absolute perfection! The staff is always kind and their service is quick. This location is not too busy on the weekends too.Cant wait to be back!

For a local chain this location rocks. Right off the highway with easy access to the hiking trails. Some of the best and fish and chips that can be easily customized that one can get . The real surprise was the bowl of clam chowder. It looked small for a bowl and was not a good start but it was super packed with clams and minimal potatoes which a lot of places just cram it with. Sides were small but tasty. Can't complain about anything

Because I like to find these local gems, I always find it interesting to go back the second time…read moreand see if your instincts were right the first time. So today we went back to pill box Tavern, and we're lucky enough to have Adrianne as our server... She was fantastic and the food was just as fantastic.

My breakfast burrito today was the perfect texture, a crispy taught a light egg the perfect amount of cheese and sausage when you add it all up it's just a delicious dish. And how cool is this?

They were very nice and attentive. This is just a few blocks from the beach so you can walk off all the food and drinks you just ate. They have a good selection of food and drinks. I think most bars have mediocre food but this place is really good! I loved their potato skins and bbq ribs! The skins had the perfect crisp with cheese and bacon on top. The bbq ribs were fall off the bone tender! I got it with fries but it usually comes with beans and coleslaw. Fries were so good and crispy! They have like 10 different sauces and dry rubs for the ribs. I got the old bay and buffalo. The wings were crispy and pretty big. I'll definitely be back to hang out and check out more dishes!

This time we wanted to try this new to us place, we were so happy to take rideshare to this location as parking is very limited with severely road work happening all around. This restaurant gives a beachy hole in the wall relaxing vibe which we love!! Menu was simple quite a few options, we went for their fish tacos and fish n chips. Between the 4 of us we shared the items to see if they are good before ordering more, the short version of the story is that the food was very good, not dry or fishy smell, taste fresh, succulent piece if fish fillers on the taco, the fish n chips batter was a bit on the thick side but still very tasty. Clam chowder was on point, creamy and not a cream breaking point. We would love going back again once all the road work are done. Service is quick and prompt, no frills. It is a hole in a wall place so expect a bit of self service like getting water or napkins. Overall a solid 5 stars a must try if you like fish tacos and fish n chips.

It was super busy when we got there, with a line to order, but all the cashiers and servers were really friendly. You order at the counter, find a table, and they bring the food out to you. My friends and I all ended up ordering the grilled mahi burrito, and honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be THAT good! The fish tasted incredibly fresh and was so delicious. The burrito was also a decent size for the price, which I appreciated. I really enjoyed my meal and can see why people love this place. Now that I know they're known for their fresh seafood, I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

I absolutely loved this place! A girl friend and I were spending the day cruising down the beach…read moreand we stopped here for lunch. We didn't know it was Taco Tuesday until the hostess mentioned it, and wow! The tortillas were made on the spot, the fish was super fresh, and the prices were reasonable. We sat outside and had a view of the racetrack, dog beach, and the 101. The ambience was amazing. Overall, I was ready to spend 50$ on a fish meal (two of us with sodas and 4 tacos was well under 30$!), and I am excited to return to work my way down the regular menu! Pros: - very friendly - ambience and decor - fresh fish - decent parking options (valet and street) Cons: - none really

Parking is valet only on site ($10), although there's street parking right across the street. The food was just okay -- nothing particularly impressed us, and everything was quite pricey for what it was. My favorite item was the chowder...which says a lot. We didn't try the fish tacos.. so maybe that's where we went wrong. My husband enjoyed the ahi tuna stir fry (basically) but I thought my crab stuffed shrimp dish missed the target with its bacon-wrap. Service was spotty too; they missed our kid's drink and the bread we were promised at the start of the meal. We arrived after dark, so I can't comment on the view people rave about. I did note how loud the train was as it went by during our meal though.

The beachfront views are beautiful and the whole place has a fun, relaxed Del Mar Vibe. We ordered a few different things and definitely had some standouts. The grilled prawns were our favorite, followed by the sashimi, and surprisingly Ques'ts fish + chips made our top 3! We went over Labor Day weekend and were still able to get a reservation pretty easily. Parking int he area was a bit difficult to find, but that was probably to be expected for a holiday weekend (there is public parking on the street + parking lot across the street). We ended up using valet, which was only $2 and made things easier. One of my favorite parts was being able to walk right down to the beach after we finished eating and spend a little time by the water. Such a nice way to end the meal. Overall, great food, amazing views and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot we'd come back to when in Del Mar.

They honored our request when we arrived to be by a window to be able to enjoy the view although it was already getting dark by that point, so it wasn't bright enough to really enjoy it but I'm sure it is a gorgeous location if we had been able to get in a little earlier! We had the grilled prawns appetizer which was so delicious but which also then surprised me with how bad my meal was after having such a great app. My husband's burger was fine and he enjoyed it, but the pan roasted chicken I ordered was just very bland. I'm not very picky but there was no seasoning on it at all, just a plain pan sauce made from the juices of very plain chicken. It was originally plated nicely before I took the photo I included, but I had cut into it to make sure it was cooked thoroughly before I tried it since it was very thick and it was cooked fine, just not seasoned with anything that I could taste or see visually. I had to ask for salt and pepper to add to it and our waitress never came to ask how our food was once we got it, so I had to wait for someone else passing by to ask for that. It wasn't too bad to eat but just not very enjoyable so I didn't eat most of it, and when our waitress came back to finally give us our check and I declined a to-go box for it she still never asked how everything was, so we didn't complain or bring it up. For such a good location and how good the app was, I would still recommend them just maybe not that dish!
