    Parking is a bit difficult- steep drive into lot. Dining area hustle and bussle.wide assortment of Mexican dishes to choose from. Sushi rolls appeared repetitive with different names. Prices a bit high. Service was okay. Very loud in dining area. Food taste a bit blan, sushi temperature an odd warmess. Shrimp cocktail tasted odd - did not eat- rotten? Also, they do NOT take Amex!

    We had heard great things about this place and the menu looked amazing, we live close by and were so excited to try it. It is a cool atmosphere with cute decorations. We were seated immediately chips and salsa were brought to the table. We then waited for service for about 15 minutes with no one coming to our table, we watched servers pass our table several times. I finally told a waiter we were ready to order, he said hold on and sent a waitress to take our order, she held her pad and pen over us and just looked at us to start ordering. The food was decent the best dish at our table was the 7 mares, the garlic shrimp burrito was a good size but very soggy water would just pour out the bottom after the first bite. Sushi was good with a variety of options. Teriyaki chicken was just ok. We were never checked on once we got our food. Waitress was just rude. Would have been a great experience if the service was good. I even saw her eating something as she was bringing out the plates. Sadly a disappointing experience. If only these places would train their staff better...

    This is the spot for FRESH Mexican Seafood and grilled specialty seafood in the South Bay (San Diego) their Micheladas are a great and make an excellent partner to their spicy and savory dishes…. The only bad thing is their parking. From what I understand you can park across the street at the RiteAid shopping center. De lo Mejor en platillos De Mariscos y Garnacha de Marisco en San Diego , tostadas, tacos, platillos calientes … Super Recomendado!!!

    The food here is so fresh! I had the Ahi tuna tostada and it was everything. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and the food is amazing. I'm visiting from Houston and hope to go back to Baja before returning home. Delish!

    First time ordering to go. Shrimp cocktail tasted like a michelada. Was kinda ok. I also ordered fish ceviche and when I got home it was shrimp. The pico de gallo. Tomato’s we’re huge and the onions too. That’s gonna be my first and last time

  • 5/5 Charlie B. 6 months ago on Google
    Always delicious! The shrimp cocktail, shrimp ceviche, and the shrimp and cheese tacos are my favorite!!

  • 5/5 Louie B. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was great, spicy, hot and filling. Waiter was busy, I think there was a shift change. Overall the service was excellent.

    I had a craving for sushi and have driven past this place countless times without ever stopping. Today, I decided to take a chance on this unique fusion of a Mexican restaurant and sushi bar, and I was far from disappointed! The Surf and Turf roll was simply outstanding! It was nice touch to have the complimentary fish broth! The staff also had great teamwork offering a great experience. Our server, Jose, was fantastic and I can confidently say that I've found my new go-to spot for sushi in the neighborhood!

    The food was ok-ish but the restaurant and it's restroom were disgustingly dirty. I didn't enjoy the food much after seeing how dirty this place was. The waitress was super nice and did great.

  • 5/5 Amy M. 5 years ago on Google
    This was the best food I've ever had. The atmosphere was busy, and inviting. The staff and owners were attentive, and super nice. I'm considering the 20 hr drive right now!!!

    Love all the dishes but my favorite are the surf & turf tacos 🌮. You get both worlds in each tasty bite. My compliments to the Chef 👏 I definitely recommend as top seafood restaurant in San Diego.

  • 5/5 Drea D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the chefs special and oysters… OMG everything was delicious and the service was outstanding! The oysters were so fresh! Definitely coming back ! Found our new favorite spot! The hubby had a michelada and I had a peach margarita which was also delicious! If I can give 10 stars I would! Highly recommend this place!

    If you want to try the best soup in the world you have to come here and try 7 seas soup. This is something amazing and fantastic. I tried this soup in Mexico but it's not even close to how taste here.

  • 5/5 Christina De L. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was wonderful. Waiters stayed on top of drinks and anything we needed. Food was delicious and I left way to full.

  • 3/5 John A. 2 years ago on Google
    We went on a Sunday night. Service and overall food was ok but definitely not worth the wait. We have heard many great things.Didnt live up. We will give it another shot. Hopefully second chance will be better.

  • 5/5 lui l. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food!! But terrible service. The cook Leon was the only one that even said hi and told me about the food. Great guy but everybody else seemed to stuck up.

  • 2/5 Pat M. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointed. Vons sushi rolls are better quality and taste. Ordered basic rolls to try. Waiter was nice. Probably won’t return. I didn’t try any of the cooked food only went for sushi.

  • 4/5 Katherine W. 2 years ago on Google
    The owner of this place is always there working his butt off. Big respect. I've never been super overly impressed with the food, but it's good enough that I like going there every so often - it's close to home and they have an eclectic mix of things on the menu. Worth going.

    Cool spot to have some good grub cold drinks. Took my girl there for the first time and overall it was a good experience. They had the games on (Padres, NBA) so that was cool. Drinks came out quick but food lag it a little. Reason for 4 STARS was becuase 1 waitress was a little slow didnt give me one item I ordered until the end and 2 the spacing between tables is small so if you walking in or out you have to watch out for people sitting down. Final say is this me and my girl had a good time drinks were good so I would recommend! Hit the spot up!!!

  • 1/5 Joan G. 2 years ago on Google
    It was very bad service! Waited 1 1/2 hours to get food. Food was cold. We reported to hostess and she did nothing. Very poor customer service, they didn't even offer any kind of discount for the long wait. I will never recommend this place.....

  • 5/5 Eduardo G. 2 years ago on Google
    It was the best. Nice atmosphere, The food was great plenty of flavor. Had five different sushi rolls 😋 all were bomb. Thank you

  • 5/5 Drew R. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun fusion of Sushi and So-Cal Mexican. Has good cold drinks and a regular menu for the non-sushi people. The front parking lot sucks, park on the street and walk up.

  • 5/5 Tommy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Met head chef Leo and the owner. They're the friendliest and they made us feel like home. Everything was great.

  • 5/5 Tony H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing team of people, I haven’t felt this good about visiting a restaurant in a long time! Must visit if in the area, food is amazing the the chef is coolest guy on the planet! Thank you Leo and team! Enjoy your day!!

  • 2/5 Antonio A. 2 years ago on Google
    I got the agauchiles mix with fish, octopus, cooked shrimp and the shrimp “cooked in the lemon” which they consider raw. The shrimp was real the rest tasted like imitation seafood. My wife’s tacos were shrimp and they were good. Stay away from the rest of the seafood.
