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.

A fallen angel (Satan, presumably) statue and repurposed church decor dramatically dominate the main dining room. Even by CH standards, it really is quite remarkable. As for the food, well... there's a reason why I led with the decor. Aside from the unsurprisingly delicious queso fundido, the handful of other dishes that I have tried have been mostly forgettable. The drinks, on the other hand, have been in the pretty good to OK range. Really, you're coming here for the atmosphere, and it makes for an excellent launch point for a night out at the Lafayette.

But factor in the service, and you'd be sitting at 3 stars overall, max. The service sucks. The hostess sucked. She played double duty as our waitress and she genuinely acted like she was mad to be there. We all have bad days. But the runners who took the dirty dishes weren't much better. The bartender was the exception, but our interactions were limited. It was a party of 11 right when they opened. No one else in the restaurant. Food took longer than expected. My cheese and chorizo fondue was delicious, and by all accounts the ribs were absolutely amazing. The other stuff was... fine. My octopus was overcooked, and people who got the tacos universally didn't care for them. The restaurant is attached to a hotel that is cool as hell. The pool, the ambience, the bowling alley--all seemed top notch. While I'll def be back for the hotel, I'd skip eating here. Think I'd prob order the ribs to-go, though.

This is my first time dining inside this California Burrito Restaurant…read more I was driving around in this area and I saw this California Burrito Restaurant and I wanted to give this place a try. I enjoy eating authentic Mexican cuisine. I parked my car in their parking lot then I walked inside their front door. I talked to the owner Caesar and asked him How long has he been in business at this Starling Drive location in San Diego, CA? Caesar said he's been operating his California Burrito Restaurant business for 20 years now. Caesar also said to me that he works with his wife and grown children at his Mexican restaurant every day. My order was placed by Caesar today for my lunch time meal at 12:30 PM. I ordered one Beans and Cheese Burrito. The price is $7.50. Then I had to pay a tip of 20 percent that came up to $1.25. The tax was $1.50. My total purchase today was $9.25. I had to wait at least 30 minutes later until my order number 109 was called to the front counter today. There was non stop walk in customers coming into this California Burrito Restaurant at the lunch hour between 12:30 AM to 2:30 PM today. Their majority of their customers were of Mexican descent and I saw only 3 Black People placing their orders with Caesar today. I was the only Asian person ordering from this California Burrito Restaurant this afternoon. I also noticed 2 Nurses picking up their orders today who work for Sharp Memorial Hospital today. This man and woman nurse were of Caucasian descent. It's interesting for me to get to know the population of people who are living nearby this Starling Drive location. Caesar called my order number 109 today. Then I was served a really HUGE Beans and Cheese Burrito. I also drank cold ice water today. It was a beautiful day today because the weather conditions were very cool and cloudy. I sat down at this window seat so I could see the outside. The Beans and Cheese Burrito was very tasty the beans were refried and thete was a very generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The Tortilla was heated up and slightly toasted. This Beans and Cheese Burrito was a HUGE Size. I wasn't sure that I had an appetite to finish eating this Beans and Cheese Burrito but the flavor was amazing! I kept taking small bites on this Beans and Cheese Burrito for my lunch time meal this afternoon. I also received excellent customer service from Caesar and the rest of his family I saw was working very hard in the back kitchen area preparing and making their very popular Carne Asada Burritos. I also saw Caesar and an older lady sweeping up the floor and also mopping up the floor inside their front entrance to their California Burrito Restaurant Caesar told me to come in again soon to try their Steak Carne Asada Burrito. This item is the most popular food in their California Burrito Menu. I told Cesar the owner 3 I will dine inside his restaurant again soon. I love Carne Asada Burritos.
