Chill spot. We had the shrimp tacos and bali burrito. I really like that the burrito was dense and well packed and not greasy nor messy. It was honestly such an ideal burrito. And it was cool they had nasi goreng too.

I ordered the fish tacos, and they were delicious. The patio is perfect, with no smoking or even vaping. If you’re looking for a great local spot with chill beach vibes, good food, and service where they really take care of you, this is the place.

Great food that fit the bill. We had fish tacos, spicy Sriracha shrimp tacos, fish and chips and the California burger. We had a ton of food and ate it all! That says a lot about how great it was. Yum! I'd definitely consider this if I'm in San Diego again! We were thinking about going to just a classic old fish and chips joint but this gave us more options and could see this place being pretty busy but we were here on a Tuesday at 4pm and we had the place to ourselves.

The aesthetic is well executed, and the staff is friendly. They call you thinks like “brother” or “my man” or “sweetie”. I know this can be cringe, but it felt kind and warm. The fun house mirror makes it worth the trip in my mind, as modern society is sorely lacking in fun house mirrors. #facts #spittingfactsatya I went 2 nights in a row. The first night music was all surfy indie rock songs, that have the attitude of a tattooed man who knows a trumpet player. It really worked! And I thought it would be the same the second night. But No! The second night the music was a who’s-who of indie rock gems of 2005-2007. I was a big hipster teen at that time, and that was right up my alley. I got to tell my table “this is “I’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance” by indie outfit Black Kids, and they thought I was cool and knowledgeable. Big win for us Oink and what.cd blog-reading outlaws of my generation. The food was good. Edit: I forgot that there was one thing I didn’t like! On one of the many tvs they were showing DR Ho’s motionciser - a foot massager that claims to be exercise. That infomercial played for an entire hour we were there. It was very strange choice. Other TVs had baseball games, drone shots of pretty shorelines, but the one I was facing has old people vibrating their feet and then giving testimonials about how they can now walk to the park. It was our entire time. My wife wanted to buy this stupid foot massager, and I had to explain why we couldn’t.

We had a late afternoon snack of nachos with pork. It was large and enough to share for 4 people! The meat was tender, chips were housemade and everything was tasty! The tables are next to the hotel's dock and by the bay. The vibe was relaxed and fun with music playing in the background. That bar was very lively.

We ate here three times in the last week with different servers each time. All were extremely friendly and helpful. The Sriracha Shrimp Tacos are excellent and the fries are really hard to to stop eating. Definitely recommended.
