Karina's Ceviche Bar 'N Tacos

Karina’s Ceviche Bar n Tacos is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh and full of flavor! From the ceviche to the tacos to the Fish, every bite hits. The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and perfect for a casual night out or grabbing a quick bite. Huge shoutout to Charlene and Arlette who made our experience extra special - their customer service is amazing. They were so friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Service like that really makes a difference and keeps me coming back. If you’re looking for great food, great vibes, and an amazing team, Karina’s Ceviche Bar n Tacos is the place to go!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience at this location in Barrio Logan. It used to be the only Karina’s with impecable service, amazing happy hour deals! Now there is a new manager so no more free chips & salsa, big prices, and our orders were messed up. They got these new fish deals with rice & salad. One wasn’t the fillet they promised, fish had lots of bones & terrible flavor, they didn’t bring the rice until we finished our plate so super late. This was after waiting for over 30min for our plate. (You can see the one plate with a fillet without rice). We still paid full price for this fish & salad! Terrible! We used to be regulars, unfortunately we will never be back. Not worth it!

Incredible selection of tacos and tostadas! I went for the ahi poke tostada (I think it was called) but ended up trying two other delicious tostadas. The happy hour specials hit the spot! Was able to share some of the dishes that came with two items. Our friend was also really happy with her surf & turf burrito & our waitress was super helpful with making our selection. I recommend taking a stroll over to Chicano Park when you're done. Will go back when I'm in San Diego!

This place is a rare find, small, intimate, and simple goodness. Patio is dog friendly, we were just driving around and then saw this Place, it was the Baja style tacos that stole my man's attention. We are suckers for good food and supporting our culture. The beer glasses were ice cold, the salsa had a kick, you could literally taste 3ach individual flavor of the tacos. We had marlin, shrimp, and lobster tacos and tried the ahi Tuna tostadas which also had a nice heat and kick to them. Service was great, smiles all around, you just felt comfortable and ready to eat. Thank you for the great experience.

Food was delicious. Plenty of seating. And also a market selling seafood.

I had the fried fish at Karina’s Ceviche bar ‘N Tacos and it was fantastic! Crispy on the outside and tender inside, perfectly seasoned. The portion was generous, and the salsa was a great touch. I can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend!

We used to live in the area and stumbled upon this place, I'm a huge seafood fan and this place did not disappoint! Not only is the staff extremely kind and attentive but the food was delicious! Will definitely keep on coming back, some of the best fish tacos I've had since I've moved to San Diego. ❤️

The carnitas and birria were incredible. The baja fish taco was just ok. Chips & salsa were delicious and the agua fresca was so good. While this is slightly pricier than your average Mexican food, it was worth it. We will be coming back.

Our tour guide recommended this little place in the barrio Logan section of San Diego, off the beaten path. We wanted fresh seafood and Mexican. This place certainly did not disappoint. Come for the food, not the ambience . First and foremost, there is literally a seafood market within the restaurant! Happy hour menu was delicious and we sat out in a humble little covered front patio to enjoy the weather. There are also very casual tables and chairs within the restaurant . The steak burrito was extremely generous, and the shrimp tacos were the best I've ever eaten. I had to order a second serving immediately! There were some interesting specials on the board, including a spicy red snapper dish. Wish we lived in San Diego. We would be regulars.

Must try the swordfish taco and their ceviche . The oysters were okay but the habanero sauce with it was soo good. It's super spicy so be careful

The food was delicious! The waitress was courteous and pretty, and the music was awesome! Overall great experience, recommend this spot for anyone visiting Barrio Logan!

Came here after a visit to the zoo. Craved ceviche and found this spot. They have a small parking lot outside. The inside is really large, and you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot. Service was quick and easy. We ordered two types of ceviche, and some tostadas. Everything came out really fast and tasted fresh. Would recommend.

We had a great time! The food was amazing. Very flavorful. Great portions. Inexpensive! The staff was attentive, and brought out our food to us on the porch where we were seated. Beverage wise, they don't do margaritas or any cocktails, just beer or wine. They also have aguas frescas like horchata, jamaica, and something else i forgot. Check this place out!!

We wandered in here randomly as the other restaurant we were planning on trying out nearby had a crazy line down the block. And it ended up being super fortuitous! There was no wait, the table inside was comfortable, and the food was on point. Everything we ordered was good including the Ceviche Karina, Enchiladas Verdes, and a massive fish burrito. But the best part of this place was the service. The 2 girls working there were attentive, accommodating, welcoming, and friendly. It's the kind of place you want to come back to for the warm feelings. This place is a winner!

Private parking available in a busy area of Barrio Logan. Friendly greeting and genuine service at the ordering counter. The campechana cocktail contained very fresh shrimp, scallops, octopus and avocado. The outdoor seating is completely shaded, allowing for covered dining with a cool breeze. The servers were attentive, and made sure to check in with me to see if I required anything.

Cute and tasty! Friendly service (seriously the ladies were so sweet) and food comes out quickly and fresh. Had the ceviche Karina (5/5, gives aquachile vibes but without the onion), battered fish taco (3.5/5, not a ton of flavor but was good textures), and gobernador (4/5, flavor was just about there, tons of shrimp). The house salsa was okay, very light in flavor, kind of like traditional Mexican restaurant style. Gotta go back when they have my fave agua fresca and of course need to try out their HH!

Second time here and I can't wait for the 3rd! Awesome food and service. Must try if you are in the area.

SO GOOD! Wish I took a picture of the ceviche before but it was too good to stop eating ! Everything is fresh and you can tell hand made. definitely will be back, Yumm! Service was also amazing, isamar was our server and was great!!

Food was good as always looking forward to the new Sinaloa menu can't wait to try the sarandiado cooked fish very clean and family friendly atmosphere. All tap beer is happy hour price. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner and staff. Servers were great come support this new business in the Barrio you won't be disappointed

The tacos during happy hour is where to be. I would recommend this place to anyone for great tacos and drinks at a fair price. I had the steak and the marlin and it was all delish

The seafood was fresh and everything was tasty It's pretty cool to be eating in a fish market The restaurant was a little out of the way, but worth it!

Great place to go on a day or Sunday morning , outdoor , indoor , great view and vibes! Right away service and the host sat us right away thank you Karla for constantly checking on us and making sure we had what we needed ! The food was cooked perfect and tastes right on point , there chips were nice and hot and guac and salsa is to die for . Definitely telling friends and family ! This is on my new list !

By far the best seafood spot I've been to I highly recommend the marlin tacos and the prices are very fair 10/10 they close at 7pm not 6pm by the way

Calling to order I got hung up 10x by the Chula Vista office CANT ANY ONE DO THEIR JOB !!!

Came in after leaving comic con for the day and damn was this place amazing. The food was so delicious and filling, and the ambiance is nice too.

My husband, my seven year old daughter, and i loved this restaurant. - we tried the fish tacos (Baja and grilled), bacon wrapped shrimp tacos, quesabirrias, and the ceviche Karina's plate. Everything was packed with flavor and tasted so fresh. It really hit the spot after a day at the beach. We enjoyed the patio seating. They have picnic tables inside the restaurant which also doubles as a little market. And the server was so sweet and attentive. She gave us great recommendations and was very friendly. Great place to go with your family or friends. We will definitely be back whenever we're in town!

I can tell you! You can trust Karina wherever they open! This location of Karina same as other locations they have, fresh seafood, and always top quality. I tried this time something different and I will be ordering each time moving forward, the Rockefeller oysters was bomb. Everything else I ordered was delicious too. They have deli here you can choose your fish or seafood and they cook it for you. Worth checking it out. Clean place, good amount of parking also there is street parking available.

Fresh ceviche and clean new restaurant. Best in the area. This with 2 cokes (and added guac + $10 tip) came out to $80

First time here on a friend's recommendation! Great front of house service from Leilani, Arlette, Isamar & Charlene! Great Tuna Sashimi from Chef Cruz! Will be back!

New favorite local spot. This place has the best happy hour deals of anywhere in town. Tacos are some of the best I've had. Service was also extremely good and very friendly staff. Cool patio and big inside dining with tv's. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Just happened to walk into this place while in town. Great looking place it's a restaurant but also a market at the same time. The service was great our waiter was very helpful and attentive. They have great music, tvs and the restaurant is new so definitely a great place to check out!

I found this place by a recommendation from a friend. Plenty of seating, TV's playing soccer, staff is super nice, food prices are great, tacos are delicious, poke was awesome, and they have a store with plenty of seafood options for purchase. Can't wait for my next trip back.

Great food, great value, friendly service. We love coming here! Would highly recommend for delicious tasting seafood and more!

A small group (5) of friends came here on a weekend for some happy hour food and drinks. It wasn't busy for a Sunday so our service was quick and the food came out fast as well. I love that the happy hour items extended to weekends so we tried a few items on the menu because of the discounted price. Overall the food was great - the seafood was fresh and seasoned well and 1 taco can be very filling. I also love that the micheladas came with the salted plums in the bottom. Would definitely recommend for others to try this location and walk around Barrio Logan to check out the breweries.

Great Ceviche, great Miché! This place is located in a nice fish market just outside the East Village. They have a nice patio to eat in when the weather is nice, which is almost always. Great Miché for lunch with ceviche.

Best happy hour in barrio, 4 dollar beers, great appetizers and tacos, and great service. What else could you ask for.

Just had the surf N turf fries , love coming here the service is great always on point the Manager Rosa, let me know they're also doing to go service apps so if I can't make it I can Uber me some fish tacos great spot to come pre game before the games hands down.

Worst visit EVER! Friday, 08/04/23 at 12:30p for lunch. I don't know who the manager was this day but they don't know how! I am a huge foodie and grew up in the business. Wanted to sit on the patio but the music was so loud we went inside to sit on picnic tables . Sat there for a while waiting walked up to the counter, no menus. Sat back down after five minutes of nothing we left. Back gate was closed so had to back out of parking lot, which was a challenge, a friend that met us there backed into a poll and did severe damage to his bumper. Food is excellent everything else? Meh!

Delicious ceviche tostada and crisp cold beer! Super cool little spot with a seafood market attached. Friendly, great service!

LOVE Karinas. Had to come down and check out the new location. Food was great per usu. Saw a few Baseball fans at the table so seems like a great place to go before or after a game and not have to deal with the downtown mess. Great view of the Coronado bridge.

The service was honestly just not good. We ordered, got our drinks and what not fine, but we waited over an hour for our food and we still didn't get everything. There was a guy there with 2 tables of people and unsure if he worked at the restaurant or was with the group because he was back and forth with being behind the counter and drinking beers with the people at the other table. And they got all types of food served to them from this guy bouncing between the counter and the people, while we waited an hour for 2 shrimp cocktails and cheese quesadillas. And still never got our last part of the order. We got a refund for whatever we were still missing and left. I've been to the other Karina's restaurants in the area and this is the absolute worst one, wouldn't recommend and I'd rather go to their walk up location not to far from this one.

This place was amazing the food is amazing and a good price dropped by here by accident

Horrible customer service. The waitress looked like didn't want to be there and every time we would ask her for things she would forget, she would get bothered. We will not be returning .

The service sucks. It's very disrespectful when you're standing there waiting for the waitress to ask if you need something. They're standing there talking to each other and ignoring the customer. The food was nasty and smelled bad...never again will go there. It's embarrassing to all Mexicans because people like that. Not all Mexicans are like that. I will give it 0 stars.

I came here after the Chicano Park event had wrapped up. Let me tell you this was probably the worst experience I've had at any establishment in a long time. I came in and sat down at a table waiting for service, and I'm not sure what I did that made this waitress so salty and ignorant towards me. She attended every table except mine. I tried to wave her over and she openly ignored me. I waited about 20 minutes before I went inside to order, and by that time I should have just left. I don't know why I didn't but I guess I was trying to give this place a chance and I was hungry. Inside was a bit better, I let the manager know I was ignored and had been waiting, and would order to go. She was openly apologetic about it which I appreciated, but this waitress had some vendetta against me because she kept giving me side eye even while I was inside waiting. This just soured my whole experience and I'll never be back to any Karina's location. I got my food after a little wait and went home, and the fish ceviche ended up being a few pieces of fish with mostly vegetables. This was just the finishing piece on top of a really bad experience. I didn't get sick or anything thankfully but yeah, this was just an overall awful experience.

Do not drive to this location. There's nowhere to park. It's really a fish market with lots of frozen fish and some fresh fish. Don't come here expecting to "see" anything like the Bonita or Otay locations. You will be disappointed. Came here during lunch. Fish tacos were great as usual.

Horrible service, they forgot what we ordered, we waited 1hr:20 min we didn't even get our food just got out money back, we also waited like 10 min just to order. Don't recommend. Would never go back.

Great food and staff. So convenient , ceviche doesn't miss. Great happy hour selection. I hope it stays around

Have been a customer of Karina's for over 20 years, very disappointed on this restaurant that just opened by where I live walking distance. Not the same menu, staff was ok. 1 of 2 bathrooms was out of order with wide open door overflowing and smelled really bad. I'll give them a try again in the future, maybe I visited too soon after opening.

Really great customer service, but the shrimp in the ceviche was inedible (greasy and chewy). The tostada and guac was ok. Beer only. No wine or liquor. It's a shame because the location and parking is great.

My favorite spot for fish and my family loves it would recommend for someone who really likes fresh fish
