    Great place to eat. This is an awesome Mexican restaurant! they serve chips and salsa while waiting for the food to be ready, the food is cheap and delicious; always served with homemade tortillas. I really recommend this place!

We ordered the Garlic Lemon Pepper wings, Soy Garlic Wings, Ottosbread Cheese rolls and the lumpia. Forgot to try the noodles (will be back) Lumpia was nice and crispy, yet decadently melty when you take a bite, it's a veggie filled lumpia and I would love to have tried a meat filled version, from what I've seen on the chefs posts and the gravy topping the cheese rolls (more on that later) I'm sure it would be amazing. Cheese rolls were amazing, softest rolls I've had in a long time served hot, looks like they collab with a local bakery and it's definitely fresh. They cut half way down the roll and that made it perfect to drop the topping in and enjoy, gravy topping is a staple you can dip anything in. (Like a meat filled lumpia!) ;) Wings are a hitter for sure, I could hardly share the GLP wings with my wife, they were that good! Crispy but dredged in a nice garlicky lemony sauce.. 10/10 wing. Soy garlic was awesome too, good sauce ratio wings cooked to perfection and kept the crisp even being sauced up like they were. Left satisfied and with a few leftover wings which we threw into the air fryer and are eating now as I'm writing this. Still better than any wings I've found around me. Thinking back, if there was a way to get that GLP on the fries, now that would be heaven for me.. My only complaint is that they are so far away... I'm gonna have to drive a hour to get this amazing food again... Definitely worth it though! Customer service was above and beyond, Owner/chef came out, super humble dude. wish him the best on his endeavor, Thank you Chef Philly

Do not order anything else but shrimp or real protein. Cost is cheap and inexpensive but it it because of the poor quality; octopus ended up being octopus steaks which is the cheapest part of the octopus. Sausage tastes like winnies. Corn is really good!

And this is the…read morefirst time that I chose to eat at an establishment but based on treatment ended up walking out and not dining at all. Usually I wouldn't waste my time on an experience like this but I really believe this is something only management can fix. So here goes. Let me start by saying the name created no appeal to me as a potential hungry customer. Couple that with overall 3 star reviews and I would normally just skip that establishment. But when the wife and daughter are hungry I make concessions. This was no exception, it was a rainy day so I made a point of having them go into the restaurant while I parked. Of note, PLENTY of parking on a monday. I park and enter the restaurant a few mins later where I am told the staff would not seat them until all party members were there as that is the restaurant Policy. I scanned the restaurant and it was almost empty, noting that there were more staff than customers and they were all grouped up passing time by chatting with one another. Since almost all seating is for four or more persons it seems unreasonable to not allow a mother and child to be seating while the other parent parks the vehicle on a rainy day. It felt more like we were an inconvenience to the staff. And I am unwilling to support an establishment with my hard earned money when they choose to treat my family that way. So we left, drove a half mile to a nearby Thai restaurant with 100 reviews and a 4.7 rating and proceeded to drop nearly $100 there for good food that was worth my time and money as well as no disrespect. And for that treatment.... Priceless. Management needs to train their staff better, treat the patron with respect as they are what will ultimately keep you in business. And rethink applying what seems like apparent poor policies on a restaurant that clearly could use more customers. But I foresee a bankruptcy in your future. For those out there looking for good food and to be treated properly, Salinas offers so many better options. Recommend you choose those.

Don't be fooled by the Sliders' presence on the printed menu or the whiteboard menu or on the Phil's Fish Market website, you will be denied with no explanation for the absence of their deliciousness. This time I tried the battered sole sandwich which was perfectly fried but unfortunately very bland. This dish comes with your choice of slaw or fries on the side: unless you are really into slaw, order the fries as the fish comes with a slaw-adjacent topping. Be advised that this sorta-slaw also contains thinly sliced fresh jalapeños, which I like but might take someone unaware. The Bloody Mary was good, as always. I really wish Phil's would improve the non-alcohol drink ordering process: to purchase a soda requires one order at the same counter as placing food orders. That's fine if you order a soda while ordering your meal however if you decide halfway through that you want to switch from Bloody Marys to a Coke, it's back to the end of the long food line for you.

I had some minor issues, however all the actual seafood was cooked perfectly and very tasty. My main dish was Rockfish From The Grill. My fish was perfectly cooked.

They were well cooked but with no seasoning and just kind of there. The Calamari basket was so good. The calamari was perfectly fried. I would have liked an additional sauce. The prawn cocktail could have also used more cocktail sauce. Overall I had a great dining experience.

Please season the vegetables if you are gonna serve them. I had a rock fish taco both Baja and grilled and a shrimp taco- in general they were good but could have used more sauce. Shrimp cocktail was good but weird- barely any sauce at the bottom of an ice cream glass with lettuce and tons of little shrimp- they use the word prawn lots but it's all shrimp. Flavor was good here.... Just oddly constructed. Calamari basket 10/10 I would have ordered another one, it was so so good!

I am glad I didn't order the crab because I would have been pretty disappointed to pay for something inedible. Not to exaggerate but the Cajun shrimp I ordered looked like it was in motor oil with bottom of the barrel sediment. Inches of it literally burnt spices or something. The bag color was like brown black. Not to mention that the shrimps were overcooked and some were chalky. Super hard to take the shells off of how overcooked they were. We chose to give this place a try since online it stated it was better than bag of crab. But man were we mistaken. Go to bag of crab instead.

You could share it... but let's be real The flavor was STRAIGHT . The mojarra gets a 4.5/5 from me -- only because I personally like it extraaaa garlicky. BUT the amount of meat on that fish was WILD. Like... not playing around. Freaken GOOD. And they hook it up with tortillas, rice, beans, and salad.
