Oscars Mexican Seafood

"If you're serious about Mexican seafood, you come to Oscar's, where the creative and extremely fresh seafood tacos are the main draw. Tucked next to a smoke shop, Oscar's is pretty nondescript—except for the line out the door. Once you're inside, driftwood paneling and colorful ocean-themed murals set the casual mood. The  tacos are the main draw for most people, but you would be missing out if you didn't try the tortas (the "Fisherman's" is a symphony of spicy shrimp, scallops, grilled, and smoked fish) or the fish stew. Sadly, you won't be able to wash down your fish taco with a cold Pacifico, but Jarritos and classic Coca-Cola (in the glass bottle, of course) make a decent substitute. Remember, this is a Mexican joint, so don't forget a side of homemade pinto beans and rice." - Archana Ram

"Oscar’s is among the few true masters of the seafood taco in San Diego, but the tortas don’t lag behind. The house torta comes with spicy shrimp, smoked fish and skirt steak topped with the traditional fish taco’s fixings. With two Pacific Beach locations, chances are you won’t be too far from a location this summer." - Mario A. Cortez
