Review The Promiscuous Fork - La Jolla

JesusAndTracy Rodriguez
We do A LOT of traveling, and we love to find “hole in the wall” restaurants because we find these types of restaurants to have the best food. The Promiscuous Fork has a GREAT vibe, EXCELLENT food, and the service was very good. Our food pictured was the La Jolla Plate, Pork Belly Mac N Cheese, and the Salmon Bowl. I am allergies to coconut and cannot have Coconut Jalapeño Rice that comes in the bowl, so they accommodated me by substituting my Salmon Bowl with mixed greens instead. We would definitely go back if we travel back to this town again!!!

Unplanned lunch pit stop to the Promiscuous Fork, and so glad we made it. Kind of tight indoor quarters but cool outside seating area. If you’re a garlic lover then you will love the “yuk-mouth”. Buns were buttered and toasted to perfection. Wife had the carnitas tacos which loved so much that she wanted to go back for dinner. For burgers and tacos, the Prices were a bit on the high end side, imo (i’m a out of towner so these may be “regular” Cali prices) but it was all delicious and worth it.

1st timer here! Amazingly delicious blackened salmon bowl, would highly recommend! Very small restaurant but fun atmosphere.

So tasty! As soon as we walked in we were greeted. She was super friendly, helpful and welcoming. We ordered our food and dined in. So freaking good! Tasted really fresh and the flavors. This was a solid choice and glad we popped in. We will by again next time we are around.

This little gem was right down the street from your hotel. We ate there our first night and liked it so much we had it again on our last night! The La Jolla plate is delicious. It's a simple dish but very tasty (I ordered it both times). The chicken was moist and the rice had good flavor. It comes with a macaroni salad, which was good but I loved that rice so much that the second time I skipped the macaroni and had rice. My spouse had a burger one night and chicken tacos the 2nd time. He enjoyed both. It's a small place with limited inside seating but there are tables set up outside. The staff are very friendly and your food comes out quickly. Great little spot for a quick meal (but not fast food).

Nice little eatery, enjoyed the outdoor seating and the host/server was really friendly. Food was solid, a lot of ways to do a burger wrong, not many ways to make it bomb. Wish we had one of these on the East coast.

Small space with good food. My wife loves the lamb chops and the yuck mouth garlic burger is fantastic. Almost always find one of the regulars drinking a beer with a burger at the eat-up counter. Great local spot.

the surf & turn grilled cheese sandwich was out of this world! Plus this place has some seriously friendly Hawaiian vibes. totally recommended!!

Fun, creative, globally inspired cuisine in a laid back, casual setting. The salmon tacos were delicious with moist, buttery blackened salmon complemented with crunchy cabbage, cilantro and a sweet and spicy sauce. It was aromatic with a nice balance of flavor and texture with Asian influences. Complemented with a side of fluffy, mildly sweet coconut rice. Will definitely come back.

It's been a while since I've been here. It's a small restaurant that sits maybe 15-20 inside and a few seats outside along the window. I think if you come around 5-6pm it can be packed. Walk up to the counter and order your food. There are menu's as well as a large menu to view on the right side of the wall. The worker is a hustler. She was bussing tables, taking orders and delivering the food. Talk about a one man show minus the cooking. Food: Pork Belly Taco with Kimchee Aioli, Hoisin Ginger Slaw and cilantro served with coconut jalapeno rice. I also had a slice of "Kailua Pork Quesadilla." Hmm at first I thought it was Kalua Pork but the menu clearly says Kailua. Unfortunately the food was just ok. I will mention that the parmesan fries were delicious. And lastly, i ordered a buttered corn on the cob. Yummy! Overall a cute little place.

The best jalapeño poppers we've had. The best forkin chicken sandwich is very good as are the brussel sprouts.

Blackened Salmon tacos with slaw and coconut cilantro rice and the frecken awesome garlic chicken sandwich with pesto are amazing! Parm/garlic fries are perfectly balanced. Sorry about photos, we were starving.

Do not drive away!!! Amazing food! The BBBLT with garlic Parmesan fries was DELICIOUS! I want to try everything on the menu!

I've lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and P Fork has always been my favorite place to get food from. The Burgers here are the absolute best. I love the Yuck Mouth Burger. For a side, I like to switch it up between their Coconut-Jalapeno Rice or their Garlic/Parmesan Fries. Both are amazing. The Salmon Bowl or the Pork Quesadillas are also two of my go-to's on the menu! The service is quick and consistent and the atmosphere is cozy and fun. This is such a neighborhood spot. Come just a couple times and you'll for sure see a familiar face. The girls who work here, Jo, B & Priscilla also help make it a really great atmosphere.

Awesome food, awesome staff. Had ‘The best fork’n chicken sandwich’, it was delicious, quite juicy. Do try Raza, the Portuguese wine. Loved it. Highly recommended!

Most places specialize in one of the items in the menu. This plave specializes in everything on the menu. You can't make a bad choice, everything is delicious. The lamb was my favorite for sure!

What a gem! We were driving by looking for a place to take the family and grab a bite to eat. We just saw it in a strip mall next to a market and though we’d try it out. Sooooo freaking good. We devoured everything before I had a chance to take a picture of it. Priscilla, the server / mgt? Helped us and even told us if we waited 7 minutes, we could take advantage of the happy hour items. Super casual, non-pretentious place with excellent food and service. We got the carnitas tacos, poke bowl, grilled Caesar, Mac & Cheese, salmon bowl, sliders and garlic parmesan fries. Would definitely be with a trip back!

Awesome Sauce. We were visiting from Klamath Falls Oregon to see my daughter and granddaughter for the granddaughters birthday. Found this gem on Urbanspoon, the food was great, service awesome, and the cooks even came out of their fishbowl kitchen to see how we liked the food. Would absolutely recommend this joint to anyone. The fare was fresh and had some nice twists. Blackened salmon salad was awesome as well as the pesto chicken sandwich. Don't change a motherforking thing!!!!

We were hungry and were looking for a nice and good place to eat. I remember passing the promiscuous fork. When we got there the environment was great! It was playing great and relaxing music, and although there isn't a lot of room it was still quite comfortable. The food was great but the service was even better. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat.

If you’re searching for a casual, unpretentious San Diego dining spot where you can relax and hang with good friends while enjoying wickedly amazing food and great service, look no further. The Promiscuous Fork, with its easy-going vibe, friendly staff and mouth-watering menu, is ALL about food, fun, family and friends. (Did I mention that they now have two locations and catering … and take-out service?) With a mouthwatering menu like “The Fork’s”, it was rather difficult to list just five reasons for checking them out, but here goes:

The Promiscuous Fork! They opened earlier this year in an unassuming strip mall situated next to a liquor store. But hold your horses, they serve beer and wine so you don’t have to get out of your chair just yet. Let’s take a look at the menu they served when Anh and I went.
