    Great Lunch
    Robert Z.

    Visited 7/11/2022 Back for another visit for the best Fish & Seafood Tacos in all of San Diego County Bar None. The food here has been consistent every year since I've been coming here and that's been many years. The fish tacos are amazing and only $3.75ea. I never get tired of them. The Mixed Seafood Taco is $12.00 and is a whole meal in one taco. I ate it with a fork this time I never got to the bottom and the tortilla. Service is good, That food is even better. Small place but I've never had a problem getting a table. If you Love Baja style fried tacos this is the place for you. I'll be back again soon.

    this is what you get when you order from this place nothing but tortilla mind you this was $18+ overpriced food & horrible service !

    Nothing but tortilla on this burrito barely any meat & ridiculously pricy for the proportion as if it were gourmet! Horrible service & overpriced items I can guarantee you I'm not the only one that agrees !

    So my boyfriend is the king of knowing good places specifically mexican placed as well. So my mom wanted to bring my grandma some food for when we go see her. My boyfriend was telling my mom and I about this place because he says they are known for their fish tacos. We decided to try it out and bring some to my grandma. When we entered the place it looked very cool, the design and the decorations were very cool. The workers only speak spanish as far as I am aware because when my mom tried she only only responded in spanish. I ordered for us and we waited inside for our food, while waiting the lady also brought us a complementary consome de camarones. We got 2 fish tacos, 1 fish burrito and 1 carne asada tacos. It was so good! oh my gosh the food tasted wonderful, I usually have been pretty picky with my food especially mexican because my boyfriends parents good is unbelievable delicious!! I always compare it to theirs haha! This place is so freaking good and I would absolutely love to come back for some food! I wasn't able to finish the tacos because they were pretty big. I recommend coming here for good mexican sea(food). - Así que mi novio es el rey de conocer buenos lugares específicamente mexicanos colocados también. Así que mi mamá quería llevarle algo de comida a mi abuela para cuando fuéramos a verla. Mi novio nos estaba contando a mi mamá y a mí sobre este lugar porque dice que son conocidos por sus tacos de pescado. Decidimos probarlo y llevarle algunos a mi abuela. Cuando entramos al lugar se veía muy bien, el diseño y las decoraciones eran muy chulas. Los trabajadores solo hablan español hasta donde yo sé, porque cuando mi mamá lo intentó, solo respondió en español. Pedí para nosotros y esperamos dentro nuestra comida, mientras esperaba la señora también nos trajo un consome de camareones complementario. Nos dieron 2 tacos de pescado, 1 burrito de pescado y 1 tacos de carne asada. ¡Fue tan bueno! oh, Dios mío, la comida sabía maravillosa, por lo general he sido bastante exigente con mi comida, especialmente mexicana porque los padres de mis novios son increíblemente deliciosos. Siempre lo comparo con el de ellos jaja! Este lugar es tan bueno y me encantaría volver por algo de comida! No pude terminar los tacos porque eran bastante grandes. Recomiendo venir aquí para un buen mar mexicano (comida).

    Everything was so good. A little bit pricey As a restaurant owner checking prices and plate presentations Looking for new ideas Pescado frito al mojo was really good. ***** Tostada loca was amazing ***** Ambiance was good You must put money if you want music as a restaurant owner I think we have to entertaining our clients Overall food was great We're here to rate food so food was amazing Service was amazing Recommended

    Cóctel Campechano.
    Susie O.

    I had the campechana cocktail, which is a mix of shrimp, octopus, clams, scallops, and imitation crab. I'll start with what I loved the most about it, I loved the fact that the vegetables were very fresh, along with the lemony & spicy flavor, it just made it super good. The things I didn't like were, that for the medium cup that I got, I really only got 3 shrimp in the whole cup. Also the imitation crab was cut up in big chunks and they added way too much of the scallops. I wish that I could say that I've finally found my go to for "Mexican Seafood" in town but sadly my search continues. Overall, this place was great with their service, and the environment was clean and friendly. I will definitely be back but perhaps to try something different.

    I used to love this place a couple years ago! It is my go-to for campechanas! However, I did visit recently and it does not taste the same, sort of bland. I do love the shrimp tacos here, so much flavor. My boyfriend loves the fish tacos as well. The size of the tacos are big! You could get full off of 1 or 2. The carne asada taco - very plain and no seasoning on the meat. Stick with the seafood! Also, I believe they raised their prices a little. For a medium campechana it's 17$ now? Not 100% sure so don't quote me but I do know they raised prices. Understandable because of COVID. And Right now, they are open for dine in!

The place feels welcoming right away, clean, modern, and decked out nicely without being over-the-top. Our server was spot-on from the start--super knowledgeable about the menu, quick with solid recommendations, and just attentive enough without hovering. Service was incredibly fast, which is a huge plus when you're hungry for that fresh seafood fix. We dove right into the boils (you know the drill: everything gets dumped out on the table lined with paper, and you just go to town cracking shells and getting messy--it's part of the fun!). The flavors were absolutely on point--fresh ingredients shining through, and the seasoning was bold and balanced. Word of warning: when they say "spicy," they mean it! The heat builds in the best way, but it's flavorful heat, not just burn-your-mouth-for-no-reason. We loved the combo of sauces (Cajun, garlic butter, etc.--pick your poison), and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The corn on the cob was perfectly cooked--sweet, juicy, and grilled just right. Potatoes, sausage, the whole classic lineup was spot-on. Presentation? It's rustic by nature (no fancy plating here--you're eating straight off the table), but it was done well and felt authentic to the experience. Overall, it was a super enjoyable meal--messy in the best possible way, full of flavor, and left us all stuffed and happy. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion sizes, especially for a group share. We'll definitely be back--maybe next time trying the Escondido Surfing Special or some of the Asian-fusion options on the menu. If you're craving a real seafood boil experience in Escondido, give Surfing Crab a shot. You won't regret it. Highly recommend!

We were the only people in the restaurant and we made it there in time for the lunch special, which was a bonus. I was super hungry, I ordered a mango lassi and chicken MoMo for appetizer. When they brought out the mango lassi they also surprise me with a nice little bowl of a yellow daal soup. I scarfed them both down within minutes, which I kind of regret, because by the time of the rest of the food came out, I was almost full. The lunch specials came out before the MoMo but no big deal. The lunch special is really a great value. They give you a ton of food. You get two of the lunch items with rice and naan. I ate a little bit of it, but ended up taking most of it to work for lunch the next day. I had the vegetable korma and paneer tikka masala. I didn't get any spicey because I wasn't sure how hot they were gonna make it and the vegetable korma really could've used a little bit of spice, but it was still delicious. The paneer tikka masala was outstanding, had so much flavor in it. The MoMo was also fantastic and we did eat all of those because I didn't think they were going to hold up well if we took them home. I love how they made them with almost like a little cup at the top that you could put some of the sauce in. Don't be like me though, and give them a few minutes to cool down, the broth inside the dumplings is super hot. I was so excited I bit into it a minute or two after it came out and I wish I had waited a little longer. I would absolutely return to this restaurant when I am in the area.

Kept checking in if I needed anything. I came here because of a review saying the chowder was really good (3/5 in my opinion). It's a bit less chowdery than what I'm used to, more like a liquid kind of soup. The chowder soup was also quite sweet. I'm used to a more saltier and thicker version, but it was still pretty good overall. Happy with my entree. The plate was hot. Broccolini were thoroughly cooked. Swordfish was less tough than other places. I really admire the employee bringing the food out. She cleaned the tables well, and the seats! Also brought bread for the table.

We were seated pretty promptly, and someone came over to bring us water fairly quickly. I noticed they don't change their menu very often, as it seems to be mostly the same as the last few times I've gone, and I don't go often. It might be nice for them to add some new items or mix it up a bit. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and a wedge salad. We were splitting the wedge salad so it was nice that the server separated it for us on two different plates. I love a good much salad, and this really hit the spot, and I enjoyed it. I don't think it had any onions which I do sometimes like, but it didn't really matter much to me in this instance. Unfortunately, I wish I could say I liked the shrimp and grits as much as the wedge salad, but it was not good at all. It comes out on a rectangular shaped plate, and the portion is extremely small. That might have been something I could overlook if the dish itself had been good. However, the Grits were not creamy at all and were overly firm and just had a bland flavor. It didn't seem to have much of a sauce in them, and I just couldn't eat it. The sausage they you didn't taste very good to me, and was chopped up in little bits. The shrimp I will say was pretty good, but they were only four or five of them. I ate the shrimp left the grits and tried to fill up on the bread they wrote to the table instead. I really wish I would have gotten something different, as I felt this was a waste of money. I'm not sure there's really much of a reason to go back considering the dinner menu doesn't have anything new, and my dish was disappointing. If I did decide to go back I would definitely have to order something different. I'm giving three stars as my husband really liked the bacon wrapped shrimp he had, and we both enjoyed the salad and bread.

California Fish Grill is a solid choice when it comes to affordability and high quality. Was invited to a Yelp event previously and hadn't been back. Julie and I were in the neighborhood and were struggling to find a quality quick meal. We happened across a coupon for a free taco at California Fish Grill. Sadly the coupon had expired. The team quickly found a way to offer us something substantial instead. A current offer allows guests to download their app and receive a free Everything Protein Bowl. Such a great deal! Order at the counter or via the kiosk, have a seat and your order is brought out to you. Extremely easy and delicious. Along with the Everything Protein Bowl, Julie ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. The bowl had a variety of seafood including Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai and grilled chicken served on a bed of white rice, beans, diced tomatoes and a chili mix. Great flavor and variety. The salmon was cooked perfectly and served with a lime vinaigrette. Seating is easy and the team clears dishes after you're done. They offer some "healthy sodas" along with some creative juices. Will definitely be back! Keep on Yelp'n!

The schwarma is seasoned very well, and not chewy. The rice is also very good, and flavorful. The hummus is one of my favorites, although this time it was a little thicker than usual. I love the dressing they use on the salad, I could eat a whole bowl of the stuff. The salad had a lot of cucumber, cut in big chunks, which is how i like it. The bread is enough for 2 people at least, so i would keep that in mind. 2 of us shared it and we still had some left over that we couldn't finish.
