She was disappointed that the soft shell crab sandwich was not on the menu. I reminded him that is a seasonal item. He settled for the Buffalo Calamari sandwich. There was too much Buffalo and Blue Cheese for his liking. The roll was perfectly toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. The calamari was cooked well, with a light crispy crust. It could have used a small side salad. I ordered the Ahi Poke with rice. You have the option to add avocado for and additional charge. It was very fresh and well marinated. I should have ordered it with wonton chips. Both meals were generous portions, I took my left overs home he didn't. Service could have been better. My meal was dropped off first. So we had to wait a bit longer for his to eat together. There was water sitting under the utensil holder so the server wiped that up with a napkin. We sat on the back patio to get some air. No one checked on us after food was dropped off. We had to go inside to get a ToGo container. While I appreciate that it's a seafood market + restaurant, I think service and quality used to be better overall.

Our server was very attentive, which was especially nice since we were among the first customers there. A few things to note: there is a 90-minute dining limit, and everyone at the table shares the same seafood bag, so your group will need to agree on one sauce flavor per round. We only made it through two rounds, but everything we ordered was delicious. The fries were crispy, and the mussels, shrimp, and clams were all meaty. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. We finished the meal with the fried Oreo and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. We'd definitely come back again for the AYCE experience!

The restaurant is beautiful and sits right on the water. There is plenty of parking and there is also valet for $10. I had a party of 10 so they were able to accommodate everyone with ease. I ordered the fried shrimp and seafood fettuccine. I also tried the crab cake, fried calamari, steam pot mussels, lobster bisque and the fish/chips. Lmbo Yea, Yea, I know that's a lot of food but it was my birthday to pig out. Starting with the seafood fettuccine, overall it was good. The best parts were the seafood which it was loaded with baby scallops, shrimp, mussels, and fish. It was also flavorful and seasoned well. The negative was the sauce. It was more like a broth which did not do the dish justice. HOWEVER, I used the sauce from the steam pot mussels and that made the dish perfect! The mussels were awesome in that creamy "cajuny" sauce so I had the idea to use the leftover sauce for the pasta! That's also a note to the Chef! lol The crab cakes were also really good! You get two and the sauce that comes with just takes it over the top. The calamari was also a great choice! They were flash fried and seasoned well. It came with a sweet sauce that also went well with it and the fried shrimp. Now the fried shrimp was okay. It was breaded but did not have much flavor to it. It came with a jelly type sauce that did not pair well in my opinion so I used the calamari sauce which worked well. Lastly, I tried the fish and chips. It wasn't the best fish and chips but it was solid. I think the batter could be seasoned a little better. They also held the cake in the back for us until it was time to sing happy birthday. Very appreciative of the staff accommodating such a big group near kitchen close time of 9pm. I wish I could remember our waitress name because she was a rockstar! Definitely recommend and will be back!

There is no reason why a $15.50 Caesar salad balloons to $58 just to add an overcooked piece of salmon that's barely 6 ounces!!!

Here is my taco ranking: 1. Swordfish Taco (8.7/10) - unique and refreshing bite with the dill seasoning. I was reluctant as swordfish can be dry and dense but this was cooked well. 2. Baja Fish Taco (8/10) - solid fish taco. Batter was nice and crisp. 3. Fish & Chips Taco (6/10) - I love potato salad but atop a beer battered fish and wrapped n a thick tortilla, it all was too much. 4. Coconut Shrimp Taco (6/10) - The sweetness from the coconut shrimp threw me off. I love a sweet and savory combo but in my opinion, the coconut was too sweet. I also ordered the smoked fish dip for an appetizer and it was delish! If you loved smoked fish, I'd recommend. It was a nice and refreshing smoked fish salad that was a nice bite to prep palette for some tacos! I can appreciate the quality and freshness of the fish (was told, fish is sourced daily from local fishermen out of the SD port - AWESOME)! Tortilla I assume is house made and it was too thick for my liking though I do like the bouncy texture. Since the taco fillings were pretty dense, a thinner tortilla would've been a better balance.

As a seafood restaurant, I was expecting the seafood to be great. I enjoyed the turf in my taco more than the surf! The tacos I had were good and seems to be their main focus on perfecting because everything else was below mediocre. I usually prefer a lot of lime in my ceviche but this was waaayyy too lime-y. And I have never seen elotes sitting in a soup! Plus, the rice and beans were bland! Their sauces are very good though!

I immediately understood why so many people rave about this truck. The fish was perfectly fried, the toppings were fresh, and everything came together beautifully. Unfortunately, my second visit was the complete opposite experience. The fish was soft, stale-tasting, and lacked the crispy texture that made the tacos so memorable the first time. If someone had told me the tacos came from a different shop, I would have believed them. It felt like two completely different cooks were working the truck. Since fish and shrimp tacos appear to be their specialty, I really hope they can dial in the consistency. When they're on their game, the tacos are absolutely worth coming back for.

I wanted a real local spot, and I'm so glad we ended up at Carnitas y Mariscos Las Morelianas. We started with the 5 tacos (carne asada and pork), and they were packed with flavor. I always judge a Mexican spot by the meat--it has to be well-seasoned with the right spices--and this place absolutely nailed it. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The whole vibe just felt right too. The waitresses mostly spoke Spanish, the TVs were playing Spanish channels, and the place was full of locals--you can tell right away it's the real deal. We liked it so much we came back the next day for breakfast. The ceviche was super fresh, and the carne chilaquiles were huge--loaded with rice, guac, cheese, and tons of flavor.

I got a fish taco and the aguachile. The fish taco was delicious. A good size, and they had many hot sauces to spice it up as you wanted. The aguachile was just ok though. It does say on the menu it is spicy, but for those who may be debating on ordering it, it is really spicy. I was good with that, but I didn't think the shrimp was very fresh. It was just a little chewy and soggy at the same time. I think I would just stick to the fish tacos next time. Overall I would give it another try, but would do different items.

I didn't ask for anything extra on the burrito, just off the menu. And something else about the posted menu, it had no prices like it used to. In the past, I've waited for a long time for my order to be ready, and dealt with it, but at these prices for such a small fish taco, not worth it anymore. I'm never coming back.

Instead of oils, sauces, plastic lined baskets they are simply steamed. El Rey's tacos are on the smaller side, compared to street tacos, but with less filling, not overloaded, open with sauces. These are simply made and presented. Semi closed little packets of corn torilla and meat opened up and with lettuce, salsa added I generally eat a half dozen as a snack. Again I still prefer the offerings of tacos de canasta like green sauces, moles, chicharrones, potatoes. These are a regional specialty that most people haven't seen or made before so when comparing it to other types these often don't get a fair shake. These are simple, flavorful little bites that taste a little like moist tamales eaten without a fork, not how when you eat it off a plate and a fork. They offer a few different fillings that are standard as well as some seasonal ones. Get their red sauce.
