Shoots Beer & Tacos understood the assignment. I ordered the fish and shrimp taco combo because choosing just one felt emotionally impossible. Both were fantastic, but the shrimp taco absolutely stole the show. I'd happily start a fan club for that taco. Then there was the Mango Tajín beer...tangy, sweet, spicy, refreshing, and basically summer in a glass. Whoever thought of putting those flavors together deserves a high five. The ordering is easy cafeteria-style, but don't panic--you don't have to awkwardly balance a tray while searching for a table. Just order, grab a seat, and they'll bring everything to you. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it's dog-friendly (major points), and parking was surprisingly painless. Great tacos, fun drinks, easy parking, and dogs are welcome? That's what I call a quadruple threat. I'll definitely be back...mostly because I'm pretty sure that shrimp taco and I have unfinished business. read more

We were a group of six visiting Oceanside looking for good food within walking distance on a Sunday night. We came across Shoots and were greeted warmly. You order food at one counter, drinks at another. My wife and I split the fish and chips. Three pieces with a healthy portion of chips. The have a wonderful patio out back. The weather was perfect. We sat and enjoyed good food and company. If you're in Oceanside and yearn for some fish and chips, this is a good place to try. read more

Just realizing I hadn't written a review here. Crazy bc Shoots is AMAZING. From the staff, to the food, to the environment. Win win win. I always get a poke bowl. Went with the OG today. So good. Honestly, if you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Just do it read more

I'm bummed that I didn't get to eat here. I wanted to try it, especially having two locations close to where I was visiting. However, I did swing by to pickup some beers to go. The selection was pretty good. They had a lot of good California beer but also stuff from the Pacific Northwest and imports too. The guy at the register was beyond helpful and friendly. I sampled some Russian River beer they had on tap. I didn't take an extensive look at the tap list, but at a glance I could tell it's worth a visit for the beer. I'm happy with the beer I took home, and would stop by again for food if I get the chance. read more

Looking for tasty Fish & Chips in a casual, laid back environment? Check out Shoots Fish & Beer! We shared their classic Fish n Chips: fried rockfish. French fries, tarter sauce, malt vinegar. $18 Good batter you ask? No. Not good... Great batter for their hot, crispy and fresh tasting fish. The fries were also hot and crispy. Shoots is located at 2956 Roosevelt Street, in an outside food court type of setup. There are several eateries there with tables in a small central courtyard. Pop Pies is located there too (tasty chicken pot pies). Each eatery is essentially a small shack. Go in, order and Shoots brings out your food when ready. I look forward to trying some other dishes on their menu. read more

Food was so good and the vibes were awesome! Love the concept of a fish/beer shop, they really paired well and its cool that they have an area to buy all kinds of beers. I got the fish wings which I mistook for fish that had wing sauce on it (idk what i was thinking tbh), but when the food came I saw that my pieces of fish had wings... they were the wings of fish. Anyways it was fire. I believe it had a gochujang sauce and the fish was so tender and juicy. Highly recommend this place. read more

First, a positive comment. This place does have a pleasant ambiance. For a beer, it seems like a nice place. However, my experience with the food wasn't good at all. I ordered two fish and chips, gave my telephone number and waited. And waited. Finally, after 40 minutes, I stood in line and asked where my order was. The guy behind the counter said, "I texted you." I said, "I didn't receive any text." He then repeated my number and it turns out he got the first digit of my area code wrong. I asked how long the fish and chips were waiting there in a bag on the counter. He couldn't answer. I said, if you couldn't reach me via text, I was sitting right outside and you could have gotten me. No empathy, no effort from the staff. Soggy fish and chips for dinner. Not a good experience at all. read more

Shoots is a great small place for tacos and beers! We ordered the fishwhich, two shrimp tacos and potato taco. The food was phenomenal! We also had a beer which is ordered around the corner. Dog and baby friendly outside which we 100% require these days. The nice girl also let me try the beer before I committed. Love this as our new fish spot. read more

Took the train down here to visit my partner that's been here for work. We randomly came across this spot and we're really glad we did. We ordered a shrimp taco, fish taco, and poatoe taco. As well as a spicy fish sandwich and Crab Mac salad. Honestly the food was great, simple and really tasteful. Glad it wasn't one of those places that just look good on social media and then let's you down when you get you're order. Seating is plentiful both in and out side. The rest of the business is more of a tasting room and they have a lot of local craft you can buy to go. Really cool that there's a spot like this here we have a few similar places like this where I live so definitely enjoyed it. For sure would give the place another go if I was back in town. read more

Really yummy 3 taco combo: I had 2 fish tacos and one shrimp all super yummy. My gringo palate even loved the warm burn of the sauces! Hubs had the combo too but he tried the pulled pork, fish and shrimp. He ate them all before I finished and said he wished they had chips and salsa. Service was fast and everyone was super sweet and chill! We ate outside in the back there is this great outdoor seating area. It was really nice and a very good beach vibe! read more

Solid spot if you're looking for a quick poke fix. Honestly, we only found this place because we had inKind credits to use, otherwise it might have flown under the radar. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that's to be expected when eating raw fish. We tried the poke bowl, three tacos, and a fish burger. * Poke - Fresh and flavorful, gone in just a few minutes. * Tacos - Decent, but nothing that stood out. * Fish Burger - The most interesting dish of the bunch. I've only ever had a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish, so this was a whole new experience -- much better quality, and thoroughly enjoyed the burger. The overall vibe is what makes it worth checking out: tucked inside a brewery with some cute shops around the block. I'd recommend stopping by if you're already in the area, but probably not worth going out of your way for. read more

My fiancée was craving poke and tacos, and we were originally planning to hit up two different spots -- until we found Shoots Fish & Beer. So glad we did! Not only did they have both, but the vibe here was amazing. Total win. The environment is super fun and relaxed. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and even gave us some solid recommendations. Everything we tried was good -- the poke was decent, though I wish it had a bit more flavor. The spicy fish burger (one of their recommendations) was surprisingly delicious and a definite standout. Only downside (and reason for the star off) was finding a hair in my shrimp taco. It happens, but still kind of a buzzkill. That said, I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Great concept, good food, and chill atmosphere. Make sure to check out Bottlecraft while you're at it. read more

Love Shoots. They don't serve alcohol but are attached to an awesome bar with a large draft selection as well as a large section of coolers with all kinds of alcoholic drink options. You order by walking up to the counter and then your food is delivered. You can sit at picnic tables out front, tables or the bar inside or out back at another large seating area. The tacos are decent but for the size and price we have returned for other things. Cheyne's OG poke bowl is a repeat order along with musubi and fish sticks (my pickier daughter is a fan). I had the Fishwivh before which was like a gourmet fish filet from McDonalds (which I like). I think that is a special that isn't in the daily menu so if it's available, get one. The last time we were there my husband and I split the Whole Fried Rockfish. I will get this again. The fish was cooked perfectly and served with corn tortillas, pickled red onion, limes, cilantro, cabbage and various delicious salsas. SO GOOD! read more

Stopped by here for lunch. Seemed lively and clean. 4.5 stars overall. Loved the seating options that are outdoor on a patio, outdoor in between other shops like Pop Pie Co and Stella Jeans, or indoors by the bar. Vibes were great and looked clean. The server was super friendly and let me try a taste of different drafts. Got a pineapple lemon kombucha, three taco combo, the tuna crunch wrap, and poke combo. If we lived nearby we would come here a lot more because it was an enjoyable eating experience. The tacos were smaller than expected but very flavorful. The shrimp taco was so fresh 5/5. The fish taco was okay. The pork taco was great. Poke was fresh but $26 was a bit steep but still glad we got it. Kombucha draft was really yummy. The tuna crunch wrap was new for me. I liked it but husband found it as just okay. Overall, we enjoyed this place and the lively but also relaxing vibes for an outdoor lunch with fresh fish. read more

This place rules, the fish is the freshest I've had in San Diego. The place to be and amazing people!

Pretty good, Good selection small airconitioned eating area inside. Sadly, the person taking the order did not know the ceviche was spicy!

Cool spot for a quick bite to eat and some good beers from BottleCraft! It is a casual counter service style restaurant. They have poke bowls, tacos, and some speciality items. We tried the Cheyne's OG poke bowl, the elote corn, the pescaderos taco, and musubi. The poke bowl came with a good amount of poke. It was flavorful and fresh. The pescadero taco had yellowtail since that was the catch of the day. The taco was not very flavorful and not something I would get again. The elote corn was a fun side dish to try, but also not a menu item that I would need to have again. The musubi was flavorful and tasted like a sushi roll without sushi. If I were to return, I would get the poke bowl again. This location of Shoots Fish & Beer has a large outdoor area for seating. There are large picnic style tables with a big patio covering that provides shade. This is a great spot for kids, or large groups. read more

Delicious. Priced accordingly. I'm from Hawaii, so my Poke standards are pretty high amongst other people, and this lived up to the rave very nicely. Had the Cheynes OG Poke Bowl and Ceviche Tostada. Both were vibrant with flavor. Beer was tasty. Had a white rascal for a taste of colorado and then a There Does Not Exist IPA. Best IPA i've had in quite a while. Will make this a regular spot for sure. Busy night but service was good. Nice upscale busy ambiance for a Friday night. read more

Ate here a couple of times while visiting the area. Both times were fantastic! Had a poke bowl and it was perfect, fresh & delicious. If you order one be sure to add the jalapeños! Also tried a beer on draft and wish I could remember the name. It was fruity and fab! Casual place with outdoor seating options in addition to the few tables inside. read more

I stopped by Shoots Fish & Beer with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered and paid at the register, were assigned a number, and chose our own seating outside. The ambiance was friendly, and the bar area seemed to get more busy and lively as we were wrapping up our meal. FOOD: I had initially wanted to get poke, but was a little taken aback by the steep price yet small looking portions. Fishwich (4/5) - A pretty pricey but decently sized, yummy fish sandwich. The fish patty was nicely seasoned and you'll definitely taste the hints of dill. I loved the addition of the pickled red onions. Musubi (4/5) - An interesting, unique take on the classic spam musubi. This is the first time I've seen spam musubi in a roll form, so points for creativity. Potato Taco (4.5/5) - I did not try this personally, so this is my friend's rating. Definitely a little pricy for a street sized taco, but according to my friend, it's super yummy and one of her go-tos. SERVICE: My interactions with the staff were quite limited, so I feel no need to give that a rating. I only encountered staff when I ordered and when food was brought out to my table. (Great for introverts!) All interactions were pleasant and nothing out of the ordinary though. You'll be able to find and obtain condiments, napkins, and utensils on your own. TLDR// Shoots is a really nice place with an interesting menu. Everything I had was delicious and I would be open to eating here again. For me, it's on the pricier side, so I'd admittedly be hesitant if I'm on a tight budget. read more

So I didn't have the greatest fish and chips experience in Carlsbad but WOW Oceanside delivered! The fish was crispy and delicious, fries were piping hot. Paired with a thirst quenching Japanese lager, I achieved my happy place. Staff turned it up to 11. I had a great time and will be back. Thank you Shoots!! read more

Went here using Inkind and we enjoyed it. Nothing was standout amazing but it was solid. We said that if we paid full price, we would've felt like it wasn't worth it. We sat outdoors and it's a fun place to grab food and beer with friends! read more

Always a go to for me! They have unique options on the daily menu. The swordfish sandwich was good, but I think the spicy tuna one is way better when that's available. They recently had tator tots with caviar and that was 10/10. Will definitely continue to go here and introduce more friends to it. Also love that you can get a beer or other craft drinks here. The bottle shop is awesome as well read more

Wow!!!! What a difference in experience! This is my 1st time eating at the restaurant. The first time I had this was at a wedding and they catered the event. (Not the best experience) I decided to come inside and try it myself to see what all the hype was about and to see what the owner Jaiden was talking about. I went to the Oceanside location. A little hard to find the 1st time. I drove past it and had to go back around in a circle. Not much parking. Very cute Ambiance. You order and then they bring it to you. On the other side you can order beer or wine. Behind that they have a little store where you can purchase beer and wine. I came with a group and we ordered a little bit of everything! We got the spam musubi Taco platter with a potatoe taco, pork taco, and 1 of the fish tacos. Forgot which 1. Spicy tune wrap Poke fries Cheese quesadilla What a difference!! Very good! Everything tasty. Loved the potato taco! We will for sure come back again! Thank you for a much better experience! read more

Always a good options on a nice day! We frequent here often and their fish is so fresh. My boyfriend always gets the fish wings and says they are great. We also got a Kahlúa pork taco, white fish tostada, tuna sashimi, and spam musubi. All were great and we left full. The best part is that It is connected to bottle craft so you have a lot of drink options canned or on top. The seating is very casual and also good for big groups and is dog friendly. read more

This tasted like fresh fish. They advertised fresh and delivered fresh. Will definitely be back, and I'm picky with my restaurants.

This place use to be really good but it feels like the quality has gone down. They still have a great beer selection, casual dog friendly seating and the staff is great. Really bummed about our meal though. Everything just kind of lacked flavor and tasted the same. read more

Really hip spot with plenty of outdoor seating in the front or back to enjoy the stunning San Diego weather. We ordered the spam musubi and the fish wings (crispy fish collar that had spicy Korean wing sauce). They have a good beer selection and an area where you can buy single bottles, cans, or wine. Was happy to see some Russian River bottles(Pliney is the best double IPA you will EVER have) in the fridge. Grabbed a Pizza Port Chronic Ale (under $3) and there was a $1.50 corkage fee which I still believe was cheaper than most of the beers on tap. Bartenders were so nice and let me try a sample of a yuzu sour that was on draft. They even poured my beer into a glass which was appreciated. Lots of young parents with their kids hang out here and I understand why. The musubi was excellent and unlike any other musubi I've had before. It was similar to a sushi roll. The wings are a cool idea, but kinda difficult to eat. I want to check out the Carlsbad location which has some different menu items. read more

Originally, we were here for Bottlecraft (attached beer bar) and decided to pair or beer with some light bites. Service was incredibly friendly and they answered any and all questions. They have a pretty straight forward menu with a side menu for any weekly and catch of the day specials. Their menu offers poke, tacos, hand rolls, and whatever their specials menu has: burgers, salads, desserts (so def take a look at that specials menu). We placed an order and they gave us a number to leave on our table. Food came out pretty quickly but our order was wrong. I think it was just a matter or miscommunication and they didn't place the order correctly, but they were really nice about it and once we let them know what we meant, they quickly came back with the missing items. Everything came out hot and fresh. Portions were small but still good for sharing if you order a bit of everything or if you're just looking for a light bite. And although not necessary, their dishes pair really well with Bottlecraft's menu :) Street parking Low noise level Indoor/Outdoor seating read more
