five star review by A Feliciano:
> Delicious. I got the munchie fries (nacho cheese and pork belly) because I'm not much of a seafood lover. These are amazing. And the portions justify the price. My husband got ceviche and said it's the best he's ever had. This place delivers. Will definitely be back again.

five star review by Dinal J:
> This place has some of the best tacos I've ever had before. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and some of their tacos. The octopus taco here is hands down amazing! The grilled fish and Ensenada tacos were also really good. The tacos have a great ratio of seafood to toppings. I would highly recommend the spicy version of these tacos for the spice lover. I would come here every week if I could!

five star review by KAT E:
> Seafood tasted so fresh, like it was caught that morning. Oysters were shucked on the spot for oyster shooters. Loved the spices on the beer. Finger-licking good! The margaritas were perfect, not too sweet with lots of flavor. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu!

five star review by Elly G:
> The food here is amazing and authentic! We ordered the sopita with mariscos, aguachile verde, ensenada fish taco, a pulpo (octopus) taco, a smoked fish taco which is real Marlin and very hard to find in restaurants. I would definitely come back again. Service is great and food is bomb!

Menu as captured Aug 29, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 267 venues in San Diego, CA and could score 41 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
