Baja fish taco
Denise T.

Ordered 2 Baja fish tacos and a horchata to go. Great service and quick prep. Thoroughly enjoyed the tacos :) wished the horchata was richer in flavour, felt watered down to me.

My shrimp tacos were literally just two pieces of shrimp and onions. It was basically an onion taco! Very disappointing. The mole was pretty tasty tho! And the rice was great! The service was fast and quick and brought our food out to our table outside! It was okay, if I'm in the area sure I would eat if I'm curving mole and rice but I'm definitely staying away from any tacos.

I came here unexpectedly but found it on Yelp due to its high rating. For starters, the parking lot is a little small but there were more spots available near 7-11. I came around 7pm on Taco Tuesday and waited probably 25 minutes for my food took be ready. The inside of the taco shop is relatively small, and the patio outside had probably about 15 tables today sit at. I ended up taking my food to go. I got the Ensenada fish taco, shrimp taco and a carnitas taco. The Baja fish was by far my favorite, which I would come back for. The shrimp taco tasted too salty for some reason. The carnitas were good, however, nothing special. It looked like they also gave Micheladas you can order, however, the bartending area where they'd make this looked unused, so not sure if they still do this.

I still love tacos from Hole Mole. I wish they'd kept the indoor tables, but they moved some things around and now there are two counters, one for alcohol and one for food which I'm not sure is necessary. Only seating options are in full sun on the patio or take it to go somewhere else.

Fish burrito w/ guac $13.50 Delicious! 5 stars
Mary D.

Hole Mole! How have I never been here?! I think Rubio's is a little better, but they are much more expensive than Hole Mole... so the next time I have a craving for a taco or burrito, I'll go here instead. A few of my friends have been telling me about them for years. We placed our order online for pick up. Unfortunately, their tablet wasn't working properly. The manager came out and wrote our order down so we did have to wait about 10 minutes... but they did their best and we appreciated the excellent service. We ordered a BRISKET BOWL $10.29, al pastor taco $2.29, Ensenada fish taco $2.89, asada taco $2.50, FISH BURRITO $11.80 + 1.50 extra for guac ~$13.50, and French fries $3. We were stuffed and our meal was only $35! The brisket bowl was surprisingly good- 4.5 stars. It was nice and smoky, and came with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. We got the flour, but once I unwrapped it from the foil, it was quite dry. The al pastor taco was okay, but very dry- 2.5 stars. The asada taco was not bad- a little dry but flavorful- 3.5 stars. The fish taco was good but not crispy. I would get it again for Taco Tuesday, but Rubio's is much better. The best item was the FISH BURRITO- 5 stars. The fish was tender and the filling was seasoned perfectly, and the added guac gave it soo much FLAVOR! I've got to try their other burritos. We also got French fries and they were pretty good- 4 stars. Huge portion- probable enough for 3-4 people! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture lol. Would get again. Looking forward to their WAVE WED: Baja fish tacos $2 Baja shrimp tacos $2.50 Shrimp ceviche $8 They also have POZOLE on the weekends. The inside is small but there is seating on the side of the restaurant. Happy eating! Yelp review #2- 2026

Chicken taco
Daph H.

Heard that Hole Mole had good fish tacos, so we came on Taco Tuesday. Tacos are $1.39 (chicken) up to $1.99 (shrimp). I got a couple of Ensenada shrimp tacos, a Ensenada fish and a chicken taco. Unfortunately the batter on the shrimp and fish tacos was very thick. There are two shrimps in each taco and if you remove the breading, there's barely any filling. The chicken was fine - at least they were generous with the filling on that one. At least it was a cheap meal. My husband got a mole burrito which was on the small side. If you're looking for a belly-busting burrito, this is not it. There may have been a lot of deep fried batter on those shrimp and fish, but it was filling. On Tuesdays, you can get four tacos and be full for less than $10.

Samantha P.

I highly recommend their tacos, the breakfast burritos do leave something to be desired. Today I had the ABC the avocado bacon and cheese burrito. While it was tasty it was mostly egg and cheese. Very light on the avocado and light on the bacon. There was a really good amount of cheese which is always yummy. I don't think I would get their breakfast burritos again but I would still come back overall to have their tacos!

Just moved here from San Diego, and this place has some fire fish and shrimp tacos. They have great service. It's a nice little taco shop with great atmosphere and awesome deals! I was there for Wave Wednesday. Baja Fish tacos for $2 bucks and Baja Shrimp tacos for $2.50. !! Hell yeah! Tacos were loaded, batter on fish was nice and crispy, not too thick not too thin, fresh veggies, good crema and the tortillas were great. The green salsa could be better but still add another layer of flavor to the t Coming back for tacos and tall boys(Don't ask, you're not ready) The Brisket Bowl and definitely Taco Tuesday.

carne asada taco, fish tacos
Amy T.

Hole Mole is my go to Taco Tuesday spot when I am looking for an affordable and solid taco. I usually get the fish taco and they're just under $3 each which is a steal! The portion of fish is pretty large too. Last week I tried a carne asada taco but I would not recommend it, the pieces of asada were too large and chewy. It can get busy so I usually call in my order and it's usually ready in 10-15 minutes. The spot is small and there is only outside seating. Parking can be a little annoying, the lot is small.

My idea of heaven, my only regret is not ordering like 4 more tacos.
Heidi O.

Lowkey I think I saw god at this Hole Molé. The smoke brisket taco? Insane. The Baja fish taco? Insane. Rice and beans perfectly seasoned. The Michelada was GARGANTUAN. The salsa bar had some fun little variations to try too. Sitting outside on a nice day with a huge Modelo and delicious, reasonably priced tacos. This is the Californian dream.

Tan R.

Best Taco Tuesday ever! The brisket tacos are 10/10 great as are the fish and shrimp. And you cannot beat the deal.

Shrimp Ensenada Taco, Fish Ensenada Taco, 2 Potato Chrunchy, al pastor taco, carne asada taco
Eileen L.

Hole mole is a 10/10 for me!! I love the taco Tuesday deals!! It's always poppin on Tuesdays. I love getting the combo add-on for some rice, beans, and tortilla chips. The potato tacos are so yummy! and I personally love the shrimp tacos the best!! Al pastor and carne asada were just ok. horchata is pretty standard but honestly pairs perfectly with tacos!!

Fish taco
Richie D.

I tried their fish and potato tacos, and they tasted fine. Priced very reasonably. The potato taco wished the potato had a bit more salt or seasoning. The fish taco was okay. Service can be better. The gal had a resting B face. No indoor seating only outdoor. Parking lot is shared with multiple businesses.

I always tend to gravitate more towards their seafood offerings and this time is no different as I enjoyed the fried squid, grilled mackerel, tuna cheek and shrimp musubi but what I love about this place is its constant new offerings and this time, they were offering fried chicken skin, so of course, had to give that a go as well and it was DAMN delicious with its savory bursts of flavor that was seasoned well.

I've been here a few times and enjoy the food and the ambiance. FOOD: I've had a few of their popular items and enjoyed them all. I recently had the Okinawa Soba, which is different than the usual Japanese soba. It's thicker, similar to udon. The broth is light and flavorful. They also mention that they don't serve ramen. The Beef Sukiyaki Bowl is also delicious, with flavorful, slightly sweet thin cuts of beef, tofu, kimchi, and mushrooms. It also includes a soft-poached (slightly jammy) egg and miso soup. A few sharebles we enjoyed were the grilled and fried squid, fried soft-shell crab, corn tempura with truffle salt, and chicken karaage. The musubi options and grilled fish are also popular. All pair perfectly with one of their many beers and shochu. DRINKS: They have a variety of Japanese and Okinawan beers, Awamori (Rice Shochu), and soft drinks. If you like lemonade and citrus drinks, try the Shikwasa juice. It reminds me of calamansi juice, not as sweet, yet refreshing. SERVICE: The staff is kind and attentive. Sometimes they keep the mood lively and fun. They don't rush you, but please be courteous if there are people waiting outside to dine in. Just like in Japan, don't overstay unless it's not busy. They are open Wed, Thu, Fri, and Sat. No reservations are available for Fri and Sat. The waitlist is through their website link and the sign-up list at the door. The average wait time is 30-45min. VIBES: The dining area is small, so there can be a wait, especially at dinner. They have a few tables and counter seating. There's plenty of decor and stuff to look at throughout the interior. I always discover something new when I visit. If you enjoy authentic Japanese food and want to try something new, this is worth a visit. Parking can be challenging in the evenings.

When I say the proteins were over charred, I mean that's all I tasted on the exterior, just burnt dirty ash. For a place of this caliber and price, I expect execution to be on point. Also everything was borderline too salty. Notes: I really wanted to like this place more than I did. This place was a bit of a letdown I'm sad to say. Factor in price and execution and I've gotta give this place 3/5.
