This place ROCKs! I will definitely eat here every time I come to LaJolla, in Southern Calif. When you walk in the place is shining with spot on cleanliness, and with the tantalizing smells of seafood your mouth will start watering For some Fresh by the way, not frozen , seafood (Fried, Grilled, Blackened ) They have every way and any kind of seafood prepared to perfection! Hats off to these awesome Californians who made this Texan, hate to leave this place behind. Hey maybe they deliver via Amazon! Works for me! I give it a five star for sure! MCE-Austin, Texas
loved everything we had. I had a Cajun shark sandwich that was phenomenal. all the flavors just mixed so well. it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. my daughter got her clam chowder that she devoured! again so tasty. my bf got calamari and it was made a way we've never had it. it almost tasted like a desert. it was breaded and fried but so damn good.
WOW… Now this was one of the freshest and best seafood market experiences I’ve ever had!
This neighborhood place is the local fish market, loaded with tons of fresh fish, shellfish, etc and lots of amazing and fresh ingredients to make anything you want! They have some incredible looking soups/chowder too.
We tried a snapper plate, a sea bass sandwich (Boregga style), and their tuna fish tacos and all were prepared to perfection with only the flavors that come from very fine and fresh seafood! The staff was very helpful and friendly and the décor is comforting and warm, especially for a “order counter” style of restaurant.
Highly recommend stopping in here if you are looking for amazing seafood!
So good. Sautéed clams were divine—sumptuous and full of rich fresh flavors. I could have gone without the grilled octopus (chewy) but the west coast oysters were also delish.
Line was quick and service was fast and super friendly. Absolutely would return!

One of my absolute favorite places to go!
This is the freshest fish/seafood I have ever experienced. The oyster shooters are a must; their quality of sauce combined with the fresh oyster is just simply delicious.
The menu layout is wonderful. To simply walk in and get to choose what type of fish you would like and then how you’d like it prepared with different spices and sauces and then how it is presented (sandwich, filet, taco, burrito) makes the combinations endless. I could go here everyday and never have the same thing twice for a long time. And of course, the selections of fish is overwhelming: shark, yellowtail, tuna, salmon, anything you can think of, if it’s in season they might just have it.
I originally found them because they were the only place serving thresher in San Diego and boy I’m glad they were because I have now been back a dozen times, collected three of their shirts, a few pint glasses, and tons of great memories of the incredible food.
10/10 recommendation, an absolute must San Diego stop for fish & seafood delicacy.
This informal fish market has fresh fish delivered everyday. Their variety is incredible. They display everything from octopus to the ordinary like Calamari, Shrimp, and flat fish filets. They have a menu to eat in or take out. You can also buy raw fish to take home. I ordered a breaded Calamari over a salad with Avocado and blue cheese dressing. It was outstanding.
Scored parking behind this market/restaurant, heading down Pearl, just west of Draper. Proper. We came in search of fish tacos and we would not leave until we tasted them in our pie holes. I demanded local fish so we were recommended sea bass and yellowtail. The sea bass was phenomenal but the yellow tail lacked flavor and is the reason why they got four stars. Otherwise everything was a five-star experience from start to finish. I'm thinking just a little bit of salt or pepper could have saved the day.
Despite living nearby for years, had not until recently made the run to El Pescador. Our lost opportunity to fix now - this place has incredible selection and variety of seafood. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Perfectly cooked swordfish in homemade dressing on a soft roll. Crab cocktail excellent (and I'm typically not a huge fan); perfect heat level in the sauce. The grilled octopus cookery made us permanent devotees. Great service staff, lots of seating and ample beverage selection. Planning our next visit already!
Excellent food, excellent service! They even have a selection of Bobboi gelato to cap off the meal. Never been to San Diego in my life until this weekend, and we ate here twice. Definitely will be back!
There's not many places in the area where you can get some really fresh fish. It's one of the best. We got seabass and opah fish 🐟 😋. Also, West Coast oysters were definitely delicious. Highly recommended for people who want some healthy and good taste food.
It’s our second time in this place. FRESH and DELICIOUS fish 🐠🐟🦀🦐🐡
We ordered salmon hamachi, Fish tacos, Fresh local White sea bass, Fresh Wild Alaska Halibut and sides of brown rice, black beans and grilled veggies(forget it the grilled veggies)
The energy is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful with the clients. Of course we will come back
It was our last day in La Jolla… decided on a leisurely lunch. Pretty unique / buzzy place. Restaurant and pick up / takeaway. I went for the swordfish.. more adventurous wife the octopus which she loved. Order at the counter delivered to the table. Friendly, helpful and chatty staff.
