Fish taco
Allen P.

Been eating here for years and omg seriously best fish tacos I've ever had I can always eat here Free soup and the service is a1 please give it a chance

Taco Tuesday
Katherine N.

Seafood la 57 is a taco food truck, situated in the parking lot of Golden Hill Liquor. The lot is rather small, and signs claim that parking is exclusive to the liquor store. However, the food truck owner indicated that I could park there for a bit. The customer service is super personable and friendly. There are tables to the left of the truck where you can eat as well. Taco Tuesday features all fried fish tacos for $2.25 (+tax) each and two shrimp tacos for $7 (+tax). It was a great deal. The fried fish and shrimp tacos were way bigger than I expected, and I felt very full after three tacos. They were very generous with the amount of shrimp and fish in each taco. The batter coating the protein was very crispy and well-seasoned. There are also three bottles of different sauces next to the bottles of soda if you feel like adding them to your tacos. I came here for Taco Tuesday, but I hope to come back to try more items on their menu. Overall, I would recommend this spot for the food, hospitality, and warm vibes!

Fish Tacos, Shrimp Tacos and A taco Gobernador.

The best tacos! They were so good and definitely worth the price We were looking for something near by and this was the perfect spot!

The service was incredible and she was so kind! She helped us order some delicious options but the star was truly the seafood soup and the shrimp tacos. The batter was perfect with it being seasoned inside!!

Free fish soup. Excellent fried fish taco on flour and fried shrimp taco. Ceviche was not great.

If you ever had Moriscos Nine Seas Seafood/Ocean 97 you know that food truck is the best. I was so sad when I found out they closed. Every time I visited SD, it was my go to place. Luckily with some research I found Seafood La 57 that basically had an identical menu. I took my boyfriend and friends to come try and it was just as delicious as I remember. We ordered fish tacos with a flour tortilla and the Loca Tostada. The fish tacos are amazing! Crispy, moist, and tender. Might be the best fish tacos I've had! The Loca Tostada is perfect for you if you love seafood. The portions are great and the seafood is so fresh. I really can't recommend this place more. We got our food pretty quickly too. You get a complimentary soup while you wait for your food. A perfect casual place to eat with friends and family. It is a food truck, but there's a covered area where you can eat while standing.

Great value. The seabass grilled fish tacos are enough to come back for. I had those, a grilled shrimp taco, and a shrimp ceviche tostada for $21. The tostada is a huge portion. I'm going to add this place to my weekly.

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.

I also ordered a Venetian spritz and a bowl of clam chowder. The clam chowder wasn't on the happy hour menu, but it was a nice addition to our meal. The restaurant was very busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you plan to visit during happy hour. Our waiter was friendly, the food was good, and I really liked the decor and overall atmosphere. Overall, Ironside is a great spot for happy hour, especially if you love oysters. I'd definitely come back!

Atmosphere and ambiance were nice and trendy. Service was great and she made some excellent suggestions for our meal. Nothing seemed to have changed. The food was pretty good, save for a few detractors. The clam chowder wasn't the hit it was previously. Not sure what changed. It was delicious but not the highlight we recalled. Those biscuits are not the same product as before. They were definitely downsized and less tasty causing some regret for ordering them. They seemed like inferior quality ingredients had invaded. And they say they pride themselves on their taste. Their lobster roll was too greasy with pools of buttery oil and wife didn't like it. I didn't even finish it for her. On a lark, I ordered half a dozen raw oysters from the happy hour menu. The taste was good. Texture was good. The shells were very gritty. My wife had two and I ate four. A few hours later we were flushing their two stars down the toilet. We both had GI issues and it smelled of those oysters! Had to go to urgent care and get some Ciprofloxacin and a month later I am still not the same. I will NOT recommend this place for a nice dinner any longer.

I jumped on Yelp and found Pete's Seafood and Sandwich close by, so we made a beeline to get there. We had dinner sitting at the bar and had a great experience. There is plenty of inside and outside seating, but we really enjoyed sitting at the bar. The food was prepared fresh, the service was good and the pricing was reasonable. Parking is a bit tough to deal with although they do have a small lot you can walk around to in the back. If we're ever in the area again we'd stop back in to try other menu items.

I started with the clam chowder, which had generous chunks of clam and a really nice seafood flavor. I hate when clam chowder tastes more like potato chowder with a few pieces of clam thrown in, but you could actually taste the clams here! We also got the wings, which, in hindsight, was on us for ordering wings at a seafood spot. They were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The lobster roll, however, was what we came for, and it did not disappoint! It was PACKED with meaty lobster and quality butter, making it well worth the visit. The fries were also fresh and made in-house, and they were perfect dipped in malt vinegar. Pete's is my go-to when I'm craving fresh seafood without breaking the bank. Great portions, reasonable prices, and a satisfying lobster roll make this spot worth coming back to!

The interior ambiance was cozy and inviting, seeing the raw bar on display was a lovely touch. The food was phenomenal and I cannot wait to come back and try more of the extensive menu. My wife isn't big on oysters so I appreciated that they sell them per piece, the poke was delicious, the wedge salad with blue goat cheese was awesome, the fish and chips plentiful, and the sea bass was flakey, buttery and had a nice crust! Only thing I would advise to first time diners is it seems the go a little heavy with the salt which I loved but if you have an aversion perhaps you could ask them to go a little light on the salt.

I was really excited to book a table here after reading so many great reviews. As soon as we walked…read morein, the hostesses were incredibly sweet. Honestly, they are the only reason I'm even giving one star, and they were the best part of the whole night. Our hostess walked us over, handed us black napkins so we wouldn't ruin our nice clothes since we were dressed up for my boyfriend's birthday, and when she found out we were celebrating, she even brought over a little birthday card. Unfortunately, everything went downhill as soon as our server took over. When he came by, we asked for a couple extra minutes to look at the menu, and that set the tone for the rest of the night. He didn't explain anything on the menu or offer any guidance. What made it really frustrating was watching him interact with the tables right in front of and behind us. He was super attentive with them, making small talk, walking them through the menu, and giving them great service. Meanwhile, we were practically invisible. Our initial drinks took forever to come out, and even though we just ordered sodas, he rarely checked back in. We only managed to get a single refill the entire hour and a half we were there. The food was just as disappointing. We started with the fried calamari, which was mediocre at best and had bland sauces. For mains, my boyfriend got a steak with a lobster tail and an extra side of mashed potatoes. Honestly, the mashed potatoes were the best thing we ate, which really isn't saying much for a high-end spot. His steak was bland and chewy, and the lobster was flavorless and overcooked. I ordered the cioppino, which fell completely flat. The crab was overcooked, and there barely felt like any seafood in it, including the shrimp. To top it off, despite the hostesses knowing it was his birthday, there was zero acknowledgment at the table. No small dessert, no pastry, not even a photo, and the waiter didn't even bother offering us a dessert menu before handing us the check. What hurts is that I've been to the Water Grill in Santa Monica before and had such a fantastic experience, so I had high expectations. We ended up spending around $300 for two people, and for an à la carte menu at that price point, the quality and service were nowhere near where they should be. Having eaten at all kinds of places, including Michelin star restaurants, I expect way better treatment when spending that kind of money. Honestly, I've had better service at McDonald's. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have left a standard tip, but I did out of basic courtesy. I just wish our server had shown us that same courtesy. It was deeply disappointing and completely ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner.

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.
