I'm always impressed by how hard he works, he's constantly on the move but still takes the time to give the best recommendations and make sure we're totally taken care of. It's rare to find someone with that kind of work ethic and attitude. He's a true pleasure to deal with every visit. Honestly, give that young man a raise! He definitely deserves it. Owen is another rockstar on the team! He's super sharp, attentive, and always makes sure we have everything we need. It's the great service and hard work from guys like Owen that keeps us coming back. He really does a fantastic job!

I've come to El Pueblo at least three times and I've literally tried one thing on the menu: fish…read moretacos. For $1.39 each it's a deal that can't be beat, so don't be expecting anything mind blowing. It's a bite full of corn or flour tortilla, a suitable piece of fried fish, some slaw, some tomatoes, and some sauce. Served with some lime wedges. Simple, delicious, and hits the spot every time. Everything else on the menu is much more expensive, probably to offset the costs of these fish tacos. Would I ever try them? Probably not. With order to table service, both a salsa and alcoholic bar, and pet-friendly outdoor seating, this place runs on little, but delivers a lot, and can accomodate large parties. Seems like this is the go-to place for many, and for good reason. From broke college students to working adults, everyone can enjoy a cheap taco.

I recently visited Tamarindo Del Mar and had a really enjoyable experience. The vibes here are…read moregreat and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The outside patio is especially pleasant and makes for a great place to sit, enjoy your meal, and take in the fresh ocean air. Being so close to the ocean really adds to the experience and gives the whole place a laid back coastal feel. The menu features Mexican and Latin fusion food with some creative and flavorful options. Everything I tried felt thoughtfully prepared and well balanced. The cucumber margarita was incredibly refreshing with a bright cucumber flavor and just the right touch of sweetness. It was crisp, light, and perfect for the setting. The seaside molcajete was a standout dish for me. It is a hearty seafood stew served bubbling hot and packed with different kinds of seafood. If you enjoy seafood, this is definitely something worth ordering. The Baja fish tacos were also very satisfying with thick pieces of fish that were flaky and flavorful. It is a simple dish but done very well. I also tried the chicken enchiladas which came as a comforting plate with a little bit of everything. The chicken was tender and the dish had a rich and satisfying flavor. Overall Tamarindo Del Mar is a great spot if you are looking for Mexican and Latin inspired dishes in a relaxed coastal setting. Between the pleasant patio, the ocean nearby, and the flavorful food, it is definitely a place I would come back to.

From…read morethe street it kind of looks like a loading dock, but inside it is modern and sleek with a nice bar, lots of tables, and a patio overlooking the lagoon. The beers were good, service was excellent, and the food menu looked enticing even though this was just a quick beer stop for us. I have to admit when I first sat on the patio overlooking the "lagoon" I thought this is kind of an oversold view considering it is literally in the name. Then an egret wandered by and suddenly it all felt a lot more coastal California and a lot less random pond behind a brewery. Ended up being a really chill spot. Would definitely go back.

I took mine to the beach about a 20 minute walk away. When I took my food out of the bag, I noticed the tag was for a different burrito & different number. I was pretty upset about this. I decided to walk all the way back to get this fixed. The other girl whose order was messed up was also there. It was a shame the business did not seem apologetic about this, offer a refund or a free side etc. They switched back our orders and I left again. I took mine back to the beach. I felt the burrito was pretty salty. I was also confused why mine had cheese in it since the taco version doesn't come with cheese. (You can ask for any taco in burrito form). I wouldn't necessarily come again due to all this.

It' is a charming little taco shop tucked away in a small mini mall at 524 Stevens Avenue in Solana Beach. I ordered a pollo asado burrito, and the chicken was incredibly tender and juicy. Although the burrito seemed large at first, it was perfect for my hunger since I had not eaten all day. The burrito was bursting with flavor, and the salsa was fresh and delicious. Also, the service was impressively quick as my burrito was ready within five minutes of ordering. The ambiance was enhanced by cheerful, happy Mexican music playing softly in the background. Additionally, Rudy's offers convenient money exchange services and shipping to Mexico, making it even more unique. The interior is cozy and impeccably clean. As a top Yelp Elite reviewer, I give Rudy's Mexican Taco Shop five stars plus for the delightful experience! What are you waiting for? Gracias Rudy's Taco Shop!

Which is what brought us to Beeside Balcony in Del Mar during the 1st SDRW of 2026. We had Saturday night reservations & got into town early with some time to kill. We found nearby street parking fairly easily. The hostess was able to quickly accommodate us with a table despite our early arrival. Indoor dining space is minimal. But as an upstairs restaurant with "Balcony" literally in its name, the outdoor patio is where you want to be. Our server was a inconsistent on attentiveness & was slow to warm up, though she was quite personable later in the meal. Along with all of the al fresco charm dining on the balcony offered, there was also a curious & less desirable element of the ambiance. During our meal, someone went around shooting pics/ videos for social media. It felt distracting & intrusive. While the SDRW menu was what brought us here, we opted for the Chef's menu after looking over all the options. I ordered the Salmon Croquette/ Denver Steak/ Churros. She ordered Cioppino Soup/ Barramundi/ S'More Cake. Although the pacing of our courses from the kitchen was uneven, most of what we had was good to great to wonderful. Sharing tastes of our dishes with each other, the 1 egregious miss for me was the Cioppino Soup. The seafood in it was good. But that broth was not. Aside from that, the Salmon Croquette & the Barramundi were delicious. The Denver Steak was a revelation. I'd never heard of this cut before, so I looked it up. Truly, a bang for the buck all star. & prepared perfectly here with a fantastic chimichurri. For our desserts, my Churros were good but not anything to get particularly excited about. Now, on the other hand, that S'More Cake? Wow. insanely indulgent with an ooey-gooey center. I honestly can't think of a better way to end a meal. Overall, the ambiance, service, & food all had highs & lows. Collectively, though, the sum total of the experience was pleasant enough that I would be interested in coming back. My threshold for 4 stars is if I'd come back. So, 4 stars it is.
