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.

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. I'm really happy with her service. Would I come back again? Probably, but portions are a bit small.

This location has plenty of parking,…read morealthough it does get packed because there's a grocery store, gas station, gym and other small businesses in the plaza. 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!

Parking is very easy as the lot is very big. They are usually empty during lunch time, so not usually too long of a wait. My go too is the beef schwarma lunch special, it includes the schwarma, rice, salad and hummus. You can add on bread for an extra cost and it's a bigger than your head. 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. The portions in general are very big, for me it was enough to dance leftovers of everything except the salad. I think this is a must to try if you live nearby, or even if you are just in the area, i don't think you will be disappointed.
