We had an amazing meal at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredibly warm and welcoming. One of the great things about this place is that you can see the chefs cooking nearby, preparing the dishes with great skill and care. Their guacamole and seafood were outstanding—so fresh and flavorful. The octopus, in particular, was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. It was tender, slightly sticky in texture, yet still pleasantly chewy and packed with flavor. The prices were also very reasonable, making it a fantastic value. We stopped by for a quick lunch, but we left feeling completely satisfied. Highly recommend this place!

Was recommended by another guest at our hotel as having the best fish tacos in town... These folks did not disappoint the fried fish and shrimp tacos were superb! My better half loved the grilled shrimp tacos as well. The service was spot on and friendly, even to a couple of spanish challenged gringos ;) Don't miss it!

Mack Fisher is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a great dining experience. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Whether you're out for a casual meal or a special occasion, Mack Fisher delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

This is my favorite seafood place where I go with locals and love sharing with visitors. Mirsha Macklis, the owner, as well as other staff (Ariel, Lupita, Eric, and the chef, Tita, and more that I don't remember) are all phenomenal. They welcome you in English, if you're not comfortable with Spanish, and willingly answer all your questions. I've never had anything that was just mediocre but, my absolute favorite is to get the catch of the day as a "grilled fish fillet" with the side of vegetables. In fact, their veggies (which actually include slices of pear and apple in a light soy-based sauce) are so delicious I often ask for a double portion. The grilled fish fillet option comes with a topping of feta cheese and some other magic. The fish portions are large and perfectly grilled (I've often split the dish with a friend, just getting more of the veggies). They provide MANY condiments to choose from (like your own personal condiments bar). If your hearing is sensitive, I recommend seating in the "side room" (if it's dark, don't worry.... they'll gladly turn on the lights and/or fan for you), as the acoustics aren't the best in the main seating area and local musicians will occasionally come and perform with their own equipment for tips. Although I enjoy the music, it can be hard to hear conversations in that room. Go try McFisher's. They've been around for several decades and are a true Paceño institution. Ask Mirsha about his family history. You'll be glad you did.

Best cevice and fish tacos we’ve ever had! Came here twice during my stay in la paz. Very worth it! The service and the margaritas were perfect too.

Great spot for a quick but delicious taco lunch. We tried fried and grilled fish, both were excellent. Staff were friendly and service was very good.

Every time we visit La Paz, McFisher is an absolute must! My daughter is obsessed with their fish and fries, and the bonus? She gets creative with a side of tortillas to make her own fish tacos, using the variety of salsas they provide. The vibes here are unbeatable, and the servers are always so welcoming and personable—they truly make us feel special every time we visit. My personal favorite is the house special fish, blackened to perfection and paired with their incredible fruit salad. The dressing is light, flavorful, and complements the fresh, delicious fruit perfectly. And let’s not forget their tacos—you honestly can’t go wrong with any of them. McFisher always hits the mark!

Our favorite tacos in La Paz! Worth the walk up from the Malecon every single day! Great selection of tacos with many options to choose from. We went at least once a day for a week and still did not get through all options. Homemade and fresh Ingredients prepped by an excellent kitchen team. Staff were friendly and extremely attentive throughout each visit. Plenty of extra add ones provided to your table so you can make each taco unique to your liking. Our personal favorites were the standard fish taco and the shrimp with grilled onions. Can not wait to return to La Paz and fill up on Mc-Fisher

Not sure I can express how much we LOVE this place. Every time we visit La Paz, this is a MUST stop. Their battered fish tacos are so amazing, they are gone before we can ever take a photo. Other dishes we enjoy are the battered scallop taco, scallop ceviche, and their spicy margaritas and pineapple basil margaritas. We always get great friendly service too. We hope this place sticks around for many, many years to come. Please support this business.

I love this place, it's always my first stop when I get into town because it's only open during the day. Everything is amazing form the people that work there, to the food, and drinks. Highly recommend to anyone that likes fish.

Stopped into Mc-Fisher after traveling to La Paz that morning. We were starving, so we were happy to get seated right away, and our server came over quickly. They have English and Spanish menus, so it makes it easy for most visitors. I started with a margarita, which was ok, but not the best I had in La Paz. But we were really there for the tacos anyway. We heard they had some of the best fish tacos in La Paz, and they did not disappoint! I got the diabla fish taco, which no worries - it wasn't too spicy, and the blue crab taco. Both were packed with seafood and were delicious. My husband had a fish and a shrimp taco, which he enjoyed as well. Two tacos was just the right amount for an afternoon meal. We referred this spot to our friends who went a few weeks later. They raved about it when they returned home. Decent prices, friendly and fast service, and great seafood. Definitely stop by when in La Paz!

One of my favorite places to get breakfast in La Paz. Their salsas are amazingly flavorful. I want to bottle them all and bring them home. It's the kinda place that you impatiently taste the salsas before the food, and you know you're in for a treat. We got the Omelet a la Diabla every time. I'm sure other things are good, but a shrimp omelet smothered in a chipotle sauce was just perfection. Great with those salsas too! The owner was there and we had a few issues he made sure were made right. He also sampled us some Mezcal. Great spot, seems highly underrated.

We got the smoked marlin, shrimp and onion and el diabla fish. All were good- the shrimp and onion was by far our favorite. So much flavor and so tasty! The food was a bit slow but we came at an off time in the afternoon. Overall, we loved the food and would come back again!!

Must do while in La Paz! We have been stopping by Mc-Fisher for a few years now and every time we enjoy it more and more.

Food was delicious. Many sauce options and the food is fresh. My favorite tacos were the Camaron Al ajillo and the ensabollado. The ajillo had perfect amount of spice and flavor and the ensabollado did not need any sauces. The Margarita was a little weak but they have Mexican beers. Would definitely come back.

Yelp
This place is awesome, we found it by Googling "best lunch in La Paz" about 10 places popped up and we decided to give this place a try. The ceviche of fish and shrimp combo was a great starter, and plenty for 4 people to share. The daily special of grilled yellow tail tuna was out of this world delicious!!! Also, try the specialty margarita, made with fresh pineapple, mezcal and basil....YUM!! The staff was very helpful and attentive. The ambiance is low Key, but they make up for that with the food and the service. It's wasn't cheap, but not overpriced either. Our foursome totally loves it

The first thing you should know is bring something flat like a credit card to the bathroom as I got stuck inside and ended up taking a picture off the wall to use the mail to get out. Our order took forever to come (about 40 minutes) and it wasn't worth the wait. I'm not sure if it was because we were tourists but it did seem like people who seemed to be locals who came in after us were being served their food promptly. I would guess it's a good place for the locals but if you're a tourist, there are much better places for fresh seafood.

Very good food. Very casual place with picnic style tables. Good, attentive service and a wide selection of fresh seafood tacos and other dishes including beer and other drinks.. We liked it so much we went back the next day before hitting the beach. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite places to visit. Servers are really nice and food is amazing. I ordered grilled fish with fruit salad. Ultimate summer dish. By far the best fish dish I ever have.

The variety of seafood was outstanding. We ordered various seafood; smoked marlin, scallops and manta ray. The manta ray was our favorite!

Drinks (Pina Colada + Piñata) were average, but food was great. The salsas are great and the burrito + quesadillas (although they are more like typical tacos) are outstanding. The crispy chicken, comes in the burger/taco, matches excellently with the cheese. Took an extremely long time to receive the receipt, and seating arrangement is quite weird. All the tables are the exact same size (a typical bench) so a group of 2 and 8 would sit in the same table, leading to longer than necessary wait times. Great location as well, nearby to beach and museum. Great ambiance and decor.

I think I found the fish tacos that I have been searching for, the amazing crispy baja fish tacos me and my sister had like 25 years ago by the beach of La Paz.. this is it! So good. Also loved grilled shrimp and onion tacos, definitely a must try.

My husband and I have been eating regularly at Mc-Fisher for many years. It is one of our favorite places to visit when we are in town, which is often. I am long overdue on my review of this notable eatery. Sorry Mirsha. Mirsha is a member of the family who owns the restaurant. He is the friendly, handsome, manager/host, who will greet you as you enter. Ask him what the fresh fish of the day is, then request my favorite specialty of the house - which is a generous grilled fish fillet served with a delicious fruit and greens salad and warm tortillas. Amazing meal!! Pair it with an ice cold cerveza. You will not find a better fresh fish plate in town. Trust me. My husband's favorite specialty is the Burro McFisher. A unique and delicious blend of seafood on a tortilla with a spicy, savory sauce. Whatever you order at this casual and fun eatery, you will not be disappointed.

Well this one sure lives up to the good reviews. Came in for a late lunch. Had a few tacos. I think the garlic octopus was my favorite. Cute vibes. Good margaritas.

Some of the best tacos that I have ever had. We ordered the shrimp and onions, two kinds of fish tacos, stuffed chili, and cheese taco. Everything was delicious and service was great. We also ordered very yummy mezcal margaritas. We spent a month driving down Baja and eating at many taco shops and this one was definitely one of the most memorable ones.

For 10 days I was on vacation, between Los Cabos and La Paz, enjoying good food among expensive and renowned restaurants as well as family and inexpensive restaurants, both in Cabos and La Paz and I found that the best of all without exception is, MC-Fishers , With the quality attention by its owner and enjoy an international fish post, I have been fortunate to travel around the world, definitely this is a place that you cannot miss in your next trip to La Paz Congratulations Chef Mirscha !!!

Absolutely loved this place. The owner took care of us and we sampled 6 different kinds of tacos and drank beer and tequila. All the food was delicious and prepared to order including the ceviche. We'll be back for sure before leaving La Paz. Gracias Misha!

Karen L.

Yelp
A rustic locals place which I would normally love. The fish for the most part was tasty and we ordered shrimp, marlin, octopus, and corvina. We ordered both raw and cooked versions for a variety of seviche, rellenos, and tacos. The taco tortillas were not good being a bland cardboard tasting tortillas. I ended up just eating the filling. Service was haphazard to poor. Food came out one taco at a time and dragged on for over an hour to feed us. We asked for the check four times and were clearly ignored as locals were served and given their checks as we waited for ours. We speak Spanish but feel we were discriminated because we were tourists. I do not recommend this for tourists.

Eat ate tacos everyday on our trip in La Paz at over 10 different restaurants. These tacos were by far our favorite. The onion and shrimp grilled taco is something I will be dreaming about. Do not miss out on eating at this wonderful place. It was very clean and service was fantastic. It was a hot day but the temperature in the restaurant was perfect with the shade and fans.

Shout out for Mc Fisher seafoods restaurant hosted by its owner Reuben with great seafoods breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yes。I did mean to say seafoods for breakfast, most tasty and reasonably priced. A local establishment, so no AC. But deal with it for all the other 5, 6 stars qualities of its foods and services. Though we are buying a home in San Jose del Cabo for retirement from Seattle, we look forward to making day trips to La Paz for it's great seafoods, including Mc Fisher and to visit Reuben. It's seafood soup tastes out of this world!

We got there about 45 minutes before official closing time and did not have a great experience. The food was good, fried fish tacos and fried scallops tacos, but we had to ask for the beers and the ceviche we ordered which still hadn't arrived after our tacos came. Decent hot sauce and salsa for garnish, ceviche was just okay. Once we got all our food, we were soon overrun by a big group of families with kids running around. Not the fault of the restaurant but not the experience we were looking for. People rave about this place, but our experience was not great and I have no desire to return.

Food was pretty good. The service was slow. My wife and daughter ordered fish plates and a shrimp with queso plate. They loved their food. I had a shrimp taco that wasn't very good.

We ate here a few times as it was just around the corner from the apartment we were staying in and the food was soooooo good... McFisher is just a couple of blocks from the Malecon and worth the walk... fish tacos are amazing and the shrimp diablo tacos are the best... We made a recommendation to a family that we met in La Paz and they also loved it too... Definitely a recommend and we would return next time we are in La Paz!

I ate at four restaurants while I was in La Paz, and this was the best of the bunch. Had the shrimp ceviche tostada and yellowtail on the grill with vegetables on the side. The food was SO fresh and delicious. This place closes early, 6pm, but it's worth it to eat early.

Outstanding seafood, amazing preparation. Highly recommended for an inexpensive and delicious repast. Don't miss it when you come to La Paz. Scallops taco set the bar that is going to be tough to beat.

Found this place on Yelp when we were looking for great local seafood and absolutely loved it here! Ordered the grilled shrimp and onion tacos as well as two orders of the fried clam tacos (they were that good!). I originally wanted to try their shredded manta ray tacos but they were all out, so next time I'll try that!! Incredibly flavorful food and drinks at a very reasonable price, a must-see in this beautiful city!!

This was our first time. Apparently this place has been there for 12 yrs but we did not see it the last times we were here. The food was really good, Marlin with fruit & veggies and ceviche which was super tasty. The service is great, the waiters & the chef are very friendly and take care of you. Great place to grab a bite of local seafood!!

Diane G.

Yelp
This is one of those rare places where we NEVER tire of eating. Of course, our favorites are the fish tacos & shrimp tacos, always fresh and yummy. We try to be good, we really do, but sometimes instead of grilled we have them "capiado" (batter-fried), which is over the top. Almost before you sit down, you can order a beer and it's soooo cold you practically forget the heat of the day you just escaped. Lest you think we're in a rut, I want to mention that their fish dishes are delicious and if you order "the salad with fruit" you will be treated to a unique variety of fruit with very fresh greens and a tasty dressing. But then, did I mention the fish tacos? Wish we had a McFisher Norte"!!

This was a fantastic lunch spot after an afternoon walk. The cóctel de camarón was delicious and the ensalada especial de la casa had the best fresh local fruit. We loved the murals, done by artists that created some works in the local street art project. If you get a chance to do the Street Art Tour with Amelie out of the Big Sur Coffee Shop, this would be the perfect place to have lunch after.

This place is a hidden gem. Best breakfast or lunch spot in all of La Paz. The food is great, if you can't find it on the menu just ask and they'll prepare what you want. We have eaten here a number of times over the past few months and have never been disappointed. Try the Tacos Imperial if you like shrimp and the Huevos Rancheros are a perfect breakfast.
