    Shrimp Tostada
    Cheryle L.

    This is my fourth time or still ordering from here. However, today was my first time eating at the restaurant. What a great establishment! The staff is amazing! Michelle was so nice and took my order. My auntie who I came with... This was her first time here. I ordered for her. She got the Marlin Taquitos (crowd fave) I got the shrimp and carne asada taco and we both each got the ceviche marinated in lime. Ughhh soo good!! The Marlin taquitos always HITS! There are two types of hot sauces they have at the salsa bar. The ambience here is super chill! Highly recommend eating here. Everything is just so fresh

    Fish taco
    Deb O.

    Went to the drive-through based on good reviews on Yelp and it's about a 15-minute drive from our neighborhood. We decided to order 2 shrimp tacos and 1 fish taco with Mexican coke and a salad. I requested sauce on the side since we can't handle spicy food. Their tacos are huge! They were really delicious but I was having a hard time finishing it so had to eat the other taco the next day and the rest of the salad. Have tried these type of tacos in Ensenada and they're just as good although the fish taco here was not as crispy as the one in Mexico (maybe they use lard to fry ). Service was good. Will definitely return when I have a craving for seafood tacos!

    One of my recommended must-try Mexican restaurants in San Diego. Although located in Mira Mesa, this place has gotten popular and busy over the last year and big families like to come here for gatherings! Big portion sizes (the tacos are PACKED), the seafood tastes fresh and delicious, and menu is LARGE so there's a variety of options to choose from! Seating is more limited inside but there is some outdoor seating (pretty cute around sunset). Parking can be tricky because it is a tight one way in and out road (unless you wait in line for the drive through). Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    The 1st roll of Marlin Taquitos was good. Once we got to the 2nd piece, the sauce and lettuce started tasting like McDonalds Big Mac sauce. The fish taco was recommended to us to try so we got one to share. 2 big pieces of fish and topped off with cabbage, some pico and avocado. It had so much cabbage it was pretty much all we tasted. The fish itself was cooked nicely but the overall taco lacked flavor. The portion is so big that it was hard to take a bite without having it all fall apart. They give you 2 tortillas so you can always split into two tacos. I preferred the tostada mixta out of the 3 items we ordered but tbh I have had better. They pile up the seafood on top of a tostada so of course it became soggy quickly. They give you an additional one on the side. No mayo unless you ask for it. They have a sauce bar with 2 different types of sauces and some limes. If you want the bottled hot sauce, you'll have to ask for that as well.

    This place is honestly generational. Tacos seem expensive but idk if I've ever been served a larger taco. Wild stuff. 10/10

    We ordered the fish tacos and were pleasantly surprised by how big they were! I initially thought my one taco were the two I ordered . They were delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also tried the potato taquitos, which were just as good. The restaurant has a nice, laid-back vibe with a cool outdoor seating area. We didn't sit outside this time, but it looked like a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was great. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. Big Bang for your buck!

    Randomly found this on Yelp while I visit SD. Never knew a fast food Mexican place can be this good. They even have a drive thru and outside seating area. Ordered the fish taco and carne asada tacos and a side order of salsa n chips. The tacos came out in a huge size loaded with beef and fish topped with veggies. So fresh and so good. Definitely worth the stop and will be here again if I'm in the area.

    Fried fish
    Joyce R.

    There was a blackout in parts of Mira Mesa so I can't get fried fish. I went here because I heard they have fried fish. It turns out, it's really good and a tad cheaper than El viejon. We tried the fried red snapper and ordered it extra crispy. It came with rice, beans and some veggies. It tastes so fresh. The other food we got there is also really good, like the birria, taquitos, bacon wrapped shrimp. Ask for the mango salsa, it's really good too and the staff are always nice and friendly. All portions as big.

    Camarones Diablo. Enough left over for a snack latter.
    WILLIAM P.

    A first time here. Fantastic authentic ceviche, fish taco and camarones diablo plate with 7 large spicy shrimp. Limited inside seating and seating on the outside patio. No wait service. Order at the counter and they call your number. Large screen TV playing Mexican music videos. Leftovers for snacking latter.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Maria D.

    This small restaurant is located in a busy street ie Mira Mesa Blvd and Camino Ruiz. Not much seating inside but they also have an outdoor patio seating. They do offer a lot of selection on their menu especially Seafood. They also have a drive thru option. We choose to sit inside. We ordered Ceviche de Camaron Cocido (Cooked Shrimp Ceviche) and Camarones al Moho de Ajo (Shrimp in Garlic sauce). We were impressed with the freshness and flavor of these two dishes. It was fair size amount. Quality and taste is 10 out of 10. Will be back to try other items on their Menu. Come try them out if you have craving for yummy delicious seafood.

    Delicious! Marlin & pulpo tacos

    Quick stop for Flavorful tacos and cerveza! Next time I want to try the seafood bowl made to order!

    Anthony R.

    I was so shocked how BIG these tacos are :0 for about $7-8 dollars. The marlin was pretty smoky and the octopus had a great kick of spice. All are loaded with salsa and generous pieces of avocado. The ceviches were so fresh and went very well with the tostadas and the surf n turf fries are amazing!

    My friend and I were driving around looking for a bite to eat when I suggested this spot. At first, she was skeptical--it's in what looks like a converted old car wash, and that just didn't scream "great seafood" to her. But after I showed her the glowing reviews on Yelp and the photos showing how clean and appetizing everything looked, she agreed to give it a shot. We're so glad we did! The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shrimp plate (camarones al mojo de ajo), and she got a taco with a side of esquite (Mexican street corn). That corn was amazing--so much so that I took some home to my mom since you just don't find it up north as often. She was also excited to see Menudo on the menu--her husband is Mexican and will be thrilled to try it when he's back. All in all, this place was a gem of a find. Great food, fast service, and a menu that impressed both of us. Definitely coming back!

And I'm someone who was born and raised in Hawaii and lived there for 18 years, so I don't say that lightly Last time, I got the poke plate with brown rice and greens, and it was delicious. Today, I got the pan ahi belly and my husband got the ahi belly bomb, and both were SO good. The quality of the fish is seriously insane. The only thing that wasn't great was the crinkle-cut fries, which were obviously frozen, but we didn't go there for the fries, so it's okay lol. Just beware that the line is super long on weekends. I highly recommend going right when they open on a weekday if you want to avoid the wait!

It's cleaner and more spacious, which I really enjoyed. There's also plenty of parking and outdoor seating, which is a huge plus. Medium Poke Bowl w/ Shoyu Ahi Tuna & Spicy Salmon - Unfortunately, this was a complete miss for me. I'm sorry, but it just wasn't what I was used to getting here for last 3 years in San Diego. Maybe it was an off day or because they were super busy, but the Shoyu Ahi Tuna didn't really taste like anything. There was barely any shoyu flavor, and it honestly tasted more like salted ahi. The texture of the tuna was also off. When I tried picking it up with my chopsticks, it would literally tear apart. It felt very mushy and lacked flavor. The Spicy Salmon was okay, but it had this weird aftertaste that I couldn't quite describe. On the bright side, I really liked that they sprinkled furikake on top, and the fish portions were pretty generous with big pieces. Fish Tacos - Pretty standard overall. At $6 per taco, they're definitely on the pricier side, and I was wishing there was a little more fish. That said, the tacos had good flavor and were seasoned really well. The salsa also complemented them nicely. Overall, the new location is a huge upgrade in terms of the space and convenience, but unfortunately the poke itself just wasn't hitting for me this time.

So we went here in Mira Mesa and they had plenty of seating, and they had nice decors and lighting inside. We got seated quickly and so we made our order quickly too. Here is what we had: *EL VIEJON FAJITAS (Mix combo: Steak, Chicken, Shrimps) *WHOLE FRIED FISH (Red Snapper) *CAMPECHANA (Shrimp, Octopus, Scallop) *VIEJON EMPANADAS (Smoked Fish) *AL PASTOR TACOS COMBO *OCTOPUS TACOS COMBO *GUAVA MARGARITA I was really craving for a CAMPECHANA, this has SHRIMPS, SCALLOPS, and OCTOPUS. This one came with tortilla chips, usually I get a crackers with it in some restaurants, but tortilla chips are still okay. I added some spicy sauce and the next thing I know I forgot to share it with my Son and Husband, I like this CAMPECHANA ;) For appetizers I chose their VIEJON EMPANADA with smoked Fish fillings and I didn't like it, I thought that since it was an Empanada that it would be full of Flavor, but it's bland. My Son had the AL PASTOR TACO COMBO and OCTOPUS TACO COMBO, both of these Tacos were delicious, but the presentation of the AL PASTOR TACO and how the rice and beans looked like is the part that I didnt like, it's like they just Tossed the rice and beans in a rush. A small mexican restaurant nearby had a better food presentation than how they shaped the Rice and Beans on their plate here. My husband ordered the WHOLE FRIED FISH (RED SNAPPER), this one had pretty plating and was delicious, with all those dipping sauces, beans, tortilla, and salad, this is a good one. My Husband ate it with the Tortilla and I ate this Fish with the Rice. And for my food I got the EL VIEJON FAJITAS (Mix combo protein of SHRIMPS, STEAK, and CHICKEN). Omg the meats are tender, the shrimps are juicy, and it has nice Seasoning, really good Fajitas. My Drink was the GUAVA MARGARITA. I love anything with Guava flavor, and this one was a delicious guava margarita. Customer service is great here, our Server and another Guy bringing our food to the table were both very friendly and always on the lookout on our table for what else we might need. Also, other staff passing by our table always had this glowing smile, they are happy servers here to all the tables they pass by. Parking is okay, lots of space to park.
