San Diego, CA 92113

the restaurant is unfortunately small and so is the food. but oh lord did it taste amazing. I recommend the normal fish taco but i'm sure anything would be great.

I visited this location on a Friday night. Parking was a bit of a struggle, but fortunately there was no wait. Our group of 5 was able to fit at one of tall bar seats, but not sure if a larger party could fit. We were on a taco crawl situation so serving size wasn't an issue, but I can see this as more of a lunch or getting like half the menu to share situation. The menu is quite small, but mostly pairs of tacos that you cannot mix and match. The trick is to trade with people but honestly I did not want to share. I got the De Coco (coconut battered shrimp) tacos. We also wanted the smoked fish dip but they were sadly sold out already. For fried seafood tacos, these did not feel heavy or greasy at all, very well fried. For all the coconut haters out there, you definitely taste some coconut but it's not very coconut heavy like thai food. The coconut bits add more crunch to the fried texture as a nice contrast to the soft tortilla and tender shrimp. The shrimp was pretty fresh with a nice snap. I will most definitely be back for the smoke fish dip and other items!

I gave it 3 stars because I don't see myself coming back. The service and ambiance were great, however, the food was okay. My feedback: - You have to order 2 tacos of the same one when you order, you cannot mix n match, which was a huge bummer - The taco has a small nugget of fish and it's $6 - I ordered the Ensenada taco and it's the tortilla, then small piece of fish then a slaw on top and that's it, so when you bite the taco it taste dry and like it's missing something like a sauce between the tortilla and fish or an additional salsa

I came here in June of 2024. It was a spontaneous dinner outing with friends! Parking was hard to find, so luckily our car didn't get towed. The craft agua frescas looked so good! We ended up getting the mango, cucumber, and hibiscus. All their drinks were yummy and refreshing. For food, we shared the smoked fish dip and a variety of tacos. We chose the de hongos (mushroom), fish and chips, and de espada. The tacos were fresh and very filling!

Simple but delicious menu. It's small so you may have to wait. We came here twice and both times had a line. Our recent visit was during lunch rush when they opened so it did take awhile to get a table. Their tacos are small and pricey but they're so fresh and flavorful. The tortilla is also fresh and made in house. They all come with two tacos so my husband and I were able to split it and try different tacos. I personally like the fish and chip taco most. The others were good too but spicy for me lol

Wait time around lunch on a weekend was about 20-25 minutes. Because of the small space, I initially thought it would be more casual to-go style. But the reason for the line is because you need to wait to be seated and you get full waiter service. The Smoked Fish Dip was a great starter. Always something that hits the spot. We shared the De Espada, Estilo Baja, and the De Coco. They each come with 2 tacos (around $6 per taco). I really enjoyed all of the time, particularly the De Espada. The toppings on all were very refreshing and crisp. The tortillas have a good thickness to them and they held the fillings well. Overall these are great seafood tacos. I wish the pieces of fish/seafood were either a bit bigger or more was given. All in all, Fish Guts is a cool taco spot right in the heart of Barrio Logan that's worth checking out.

This place is very good but the hype is a bit lost on me. We were inline for 10 minutes before they opened and we must have been person 6 or 7. Right when they opened a party of 14 came in and took over the restaurant, it's not built for that capacity. The food here is nice. It differs tremendously from mitchs in Point Loma or bluewater. Everything is freshly prepared though per day. The Cole slaw and the fish are so up there in quality. My sword fish was up there in quality. The fried fish taco was sooo spicy I had to give mine to my wife. It is very good. Authentic up there recipes and quality. Dunno, just something was missing for me. Maybe since it's missing a parking lot and the population density was too high.

Tacos were delicious, I went with the coconut shrimp tacos (recommended by the waiter). They are a little pricey- come in sets of 2 and cost about $12/set. Seating is mostly outdoors, a few spots available in the small dining room. Parking in this part of Barrio Logan is always hit or miss... most of the time it's packed but today I was lucky and found a spot immediately. Service is friendly. Tacos are made fresh to order so be prepared to be patient, especially when they are busy.

I've been hearing about this place from a few friends and wanted to give it a try! Down the street from Chicano park, this taco shop was suuuuper tasty. The seating is mostly out doors and mostly bar style, making it a casual place to grab food. They're super popular during lunch time, but we can during dinner and were seated right away. The tacos come in sets of 2. Smoked Fish Dip- this was surprisingly really good! A great dip appetizer with ritz crackers. I ordered just to try but ended up devouring it. Estilo Baja - a traditional fish taco but with perfect battering and flavor. The spicy slaw on top was a great addition De Espada - grilled swordfish, this also surprised me with how tasty it was!! I absolutely loved it Pudin de Coco - a refreshing coconut dessert that pairs perfectly with the meal Overall would 100% come back, it felt pretty pricey but the ingredients were high quality and the meal was very satisfying.

All the tacos are delicious you cant go wrong. we also ordered the tuna salad with ritz crackers. That was very good 10/10 recommend. The place is small and not too much seating available. Prices were standard for san diego. The smokey mango marg was delicious. The service was good, nothing special. I would 100% come back again.

Great taco spot! We came here for a bite to eat before going to Snapdragon and were very pleased with the food! Service was great, it has a very down to earth vibe, nestled in the culturally vibrant neighborhood of Barrio Logan. The coconut shrimp tacos were my fave and the beers we got went great with everything else we ordered--definitely our new spot to go to before games moving forward!

I was so so so freakin excited to try Fish Guts but left utterly disappointed. I showed up a few minutes after 12 and the place was almost full but I got a good seat at the counter. I asked the waitress if they had the fish sandwich back but she didn't have an answer and said it's basically still off the menu. But later I spoke with SD locals who said the waitress was wrong and the sandwich is there. So I don't know who to believe. I started with the smoked fish dip. This was fine. You can't even tell it has fish in it. Which might be fine for someone who doesn't like fish, but when you're at a fish restaurant ordering a fish dish, you want to taste the fish. This just tasted like a serrano dip because the heat from the serranos overpowered everything else. Now for the baja fish tacos. More like coleslaw tacos because there was so much spicy coleslaw on these tacos you wouldn't even know that you're eating a fish taco. The tortillas are fantastic. Actually, the tortillas are perfect. They're soft, warm, chewy, and flavorful. But the rest is a mess. The fish itself is flaky and soft but the batter was soggy and mush. And the size of the fish is like a chicken nugget compared to the tortilla. I'm not expecting a whole filet on here since these are "Street tacos" but c'mon. two bites and the fish was gone, then you're just eating tortilla and coleslaw. There is so much coleslaw that you don't taste anything else either. After talking to others, everyone said the baja tacos are not the thing to order but rather you should order the sandwich (if / when they ever bring it back) and the swordfish tacos. I don't know if I would return but right now, I wasn't fond of this spot.

AMAZING! The best fish tacos I've ever had across Mexico, California and Arizona! This was my second time there and it was heaven both times. They also have great Mexican craft beers. The tacos are elegant, full of fresh ingredients, made with fresh tortillas and their salsa is also killer! Every time I come to San Diego, I'm heading back! (You also get all the joy of Barrio Logan!)

OMGGGG YESSSSS!! Tasted soo freshhh and they know what seasoning is. Thank God!!! Like great vibe like it was pouring today but I will say it added to the experience. Shout out to the love care and tender they dedicated to their work!!!

Ooooh! First time here, but definitely not the last. We've driven by Fish Guts multiple times and always noticed their long lines. So I was excited to finally try it. These are some of the BEST tacos I've ever had! We tried the estilo Baja tacos, Baja shrimp tacos, al pastor tacos and coconut shrimp tacos. Each taco had it's own distinct flavor and the jalapeño slaw on each taco was perfection! My favorite was the coconut shrimp tacos. Combining the coconut and jalapeños was a smart flavor contrast. There was a bit of a line, but it went by quickly. My only complaint was not being able to order an Arnold palmer. Very limited beverages, unless you like beer, which I don't.

Centered in Barrio Logan, this corner spot is small and quaint with outside sidewalk seating. We ordered the swordfish tacos with the slaw. I love the green bell pepper that was in with the slaw it added a great flavor and spice overall. Overall I really loved this place and their take on fish tacos, very tasty!

Came here for fish tacos while visiting from the east coast. Great little spot with a few tables and a sidewalk facing counter. Had a truly delicious swordfish taco. Would love to try their other styles next time I'm in town.

Friends took me here, said it was highly rated. The tacos here a super fresh and have good flavor but I think it's a bit overhyped. Small place so if you're not there right when it opens you'll have to wait. Even so we waited like 30 mins for food. Tacos were delicious and fresh. Love the fresh tortillas made in house. My favorite was the shrimp, and the sauce they put over it. Overall quality of the fish was good. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Marcels foodie score: 3.7/5

I was looking for a new place to try in San Diego. I saw people talking about this new restaurant, so I had to try it. For one it's very small. If you're having mobility issues I wouldn't come here. Seats are limited and they can only seat you once people get up to leave. It's either high top seating which accommodates about 12 at the high top table and then there's low seating that can handle approximately 10 to 12 people at a time, with seating for 2 on the front side and a total of 4 at the bar. So it's very small. The tacos were good but I was disappointed because that's all they serve. No sides no frills. They do have a dip they serve with ritz crackers. I thought the prices were high for what you get, and it took a long time for my tacos to come. They maybe should put up a sign that limits your time at the tables during busy hours. Especially because there was a long line waiting outside and it was actually cold and a little windy out. I had the De Coco, De Espado & fish & chips tacos. My favorite was the De Coco tacos. The tacos are small like street tacos so it wasn't a lot of food. They do serve wine& beer. but no alcohol in their margaritas.

Delicious tacos that are unlike what you find at your typical taco joint. I've come here twice and had to order 3 sets of 2 tacos to get my fill. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients here and it stands out in memory even a week later.... which is why it's one of the few restaurants where I continually thought about when I'd be back. The Coco was my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of them! Service was friendly and prompt both times I came but I will warn that the place gets pretty windy given its location so I'd bring a light jacket if you plan on eating there.

Came to Fish Guts a few weeks ago as I was craving some shrimp tacos. This place has high reviews on Yelp and I could see why. The menu is very simple which I liked, I ordered the Shrimp Tacos & Tuna Dip Appetizer that came with Ritz Crackers. Surprisingly the Tuna dip was fire, haven't tried a combination like that before. The Shrimp Tacos were delicious also, but I'll admit I've had better elsewhere. Still, the service was great and prices were fair. Overall a good lunch experience, would I go again? Maybe

If you're a fan of fresh, no-fuss seafood done exceptionally well, Fish Guts in San Diego is a must-visit. I stopped by recently and was seriously impressed by how every element of their fish tacos feels thoughtful and deliberate. The Estilo Baja taco--with its crisp Modelo beer-battered white fish, creamy chipotle aioli, and tangy slaw--was the star for me. The fish was clearly fresh, the batter light and crispy, and the handmade corn tortilla held everything together beautifully without overpowering the flavors. Overall, if you love tacos and appreciate fresh, locally sourced seafood, Fish Guts delivers big flavor in a small, unpretentious spot.

The first time I drove from LA to Fish Guts, they had sold out of everything so I figured it was going to be good and it was. This time I came much earlier (2:30pm) - but they had still sold out of the smoked fish dip! What you need to know: Parking: There really is no designated place to park. We parked in a dirt lot next to the restaurant, and a very irritated tenant approached us and asked if it was our car parked in his spot. We felt bad, but there were no signs that we saw that said tenant parking only. The Fish Guts staff told us to move our car a few spaces down in that same dirt lot because another restaurant closed down and they were using their spaces temporarily. They need to fix this asap. Facility: The restaurant is super small. Maybe 40 seats max. The good thing is they will seat you, but you will have to wait in a line outside of the restaurant (thank God for California's decent weather). My aunt had just had knee surgery and the waitress happily brought her another stool to prop her foot upon. The facility was clean and the outside bar style seating was actually better than I expected. There is an exterior bathroom that you must get a key for. Service: Excellent. From the small staff warmly greeting us at the door to the speed and quality of service, we had no complaints. Our waitress was super nice! (I think there was only 1 or 2 waitress). Food: So the menu is very basic. They let you know there are no modifications. Since I have a shellfish allergy, there were a couple of cross contamination items I was concerned about but I was assured they would be separated. I wish they had chips and salsa or something else because we weren't full when we left. Estilo Baja: B+. Excellent presentation. The corn tortillas were fresh and tasty. De Espada: B+. The only critique here was maybe a bit more seasoning should have been added to the fish (maybe salt). Other than that it was delicious. Fish & Chips Taco: B+. Same as above; taco was delicious but just needed to be seasoned (maybe a bit of salt). Drinks were all tasty. We had the Smoky Mango margarita and the Pepino Santo. Both delicious. We will have to come back for the smoked fish dip. Cant wait!

This is my partner's favorite fish taco restaurant in San Diego, so I knew I had to try it one day! We came here on Saturday around 1PM and had to wait approximately 30-45 minutes before being seated. I'm not sure if this is something they do regularly, but I noticed that they seat people in groups so that everyone in that area finishes around the same time. So, even if you see empty seats, they won't seat you right away... or maybe it was just for that day since they were short staffed. We were seated at the bar stool area, where we had to share the table with eight other people. I honestly didn't mind, but having that table be a maximum of eight people instead of ten would have been better since it was quite cramped, awkward, and easy to overhear conversations. The stools were also a bit short especially for someone with my height ): Now, let's talk about the food. One important note when ordering is that you can't modify anything, so what you see on the menu is what you will get. We ended up ordering everything: Smoked Fish Dip, Estilo Baja, De Espada, De Coco, Fish & Chips, and De Hongos. Each taco plate costs $12 and comes with two tacos per plate. Our appetizer, the Smoked Fish Dip, came out first. Let's just say it was the best fish dip I've ever had. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, and the pico de gallo and lime really enhanced the flavor. There was a small amount of mayo included and it wasn't too overwhelming to the point where it masked the freshness of the fish. This dish was honestly a MUST-HAVE. As for the tacos, my ranking from favorite to least favorite is: De Espada, De Hongos, De Coco, Estilo Baja, and Fish & Chips. De Espada was grilled and very juicy, flavorful, and fresh. De Hongos was unique - the mushrooms absorbed a ton of flavor and were cooked to perfection. De Coco and Estilo Baja were okay for me; the main difference between the two were the seafood - fish versus shrimp. The flavors and toppings were almost identical, and I didn't love how the aioli overpowered the seafood's freshness. Lastly, the Fish & Chips was my least favorite. The combination of potatoes and mayo on top of the fried fish was overwhelming and heavy for me. I wish they added some vegetables or something more refreshing to balance it out. Overall, I can tell this place aims to be unique, and while some dishes were definite standouts, there were also some that didn't quite work for me. I do appreciate that you can taste the freshness of the fish (when the sauce isn't too overpowering) and the homemade tortillas. The wait wasn't too bad, considering how there were only two staffs. The staff was amazing - knowledgeable, attentive, and hardworking. The place is small, but they made it work somehow. No takeout available. Free street parking.

Sat at the counter with two friends on a Friday night. The wait was only around 10 minutes and likely only because there was one front of house woman working the joint - she was INCREDIBLE and I wish I had gotten her name! She was taking orders, bussing tables, making drinks, all while SO friendly and kind, I was amazed watching this pro in action. We ordered the smoked fish dip and so many tacos - estilo baja, de espada, de coco, de camarón, de hongos. All of them were delicious, we were split amongst what we liked the most but surprisingly the smoked fish dip was a hit LOL we had just had a terrible one recently so this really made a big difference in our opinion of fish dips. We liked the nautical theme inside and the drinks also sounded/looked great. Would highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for fresh, good quality, delicious seafood!

What an awesome little spot. Great vibes and even better food. The Baja taco was amazing. The fish was crispy and the slaw was refreshing and spicy. The fish and chips taco had a nice little potato slaw topping the crispy fish. The coco shrimp taco was great as the shrimp was breaded perfectly and the flavor was great. The slaw used is the same as I. The Baja. What's great is the tortilla is freshly made and complements the tacos well. The place is extremely clean as well as the restroom. Service is great as our waitress was checking in on us and served us promptly. If you're in the area, stop by and at least try a taco. You'll end up ordering more. Only draw back is they do t do to go orders. (Might be a blessing in disguise as I would have over ordered!)

Centered in Barrio Logan, this corner spot is small and quaint with outside sidewalk seating. We ordered the swordfish tacos with the slaw. I love the green bell pepper that was in with the slaw it added a great flavor and spice overall. Overall I really loved this place and their take on fish tacos, very tasty!

I've seen this place many times, especially while seeing a show at the Corazon de Barrio across the street. I was always intrigued by what kind of food they had here, so I finally got to try it a couple weeks ago after doing a ceramics class nearby with a friend. This place has many variations on seafood tacos with different toppings and themes. Such a simple, yet cool concept! Their menu is about $12 for one portion of 2 tacos, but each one is pretty hearty. I thought I'd need about 3 as that's is my average consumption of fish tacos in one sitting, but honestly 2 was more than enough. We got three types - their estilo baja (with mexican coleslaw which is spicy!), de espada, and fish & chips. These were the only tacos available to us, as they ran out of their De Coco one which I heard is probably one of their most popular, and their vegan one. I also got their hibiscus tea, which was super refreshing. Each taco was unique in its own way, and was perfect for sharing between the two of us. It's a small place, so I can imagine you'd have to wait a while if it gets packed. There's indoor and outdoor seating with a table that runs along the establishment. Perfect for people watching! As for parking, only residential is available. Overall not too hard to find but could imagine it gets crowded if there's a show or a special event nearby.

Yes the hype is worth it. We came here and was 2nd in line 10 minutes before open (noon) on Wednesday. At open, there was already a small line. They open Wed-Sun (closed Mon/Tues). Once open, you are instructed to pick a seat and the server will come by with menus/provide table service (she remembered our place in line). Recommend: Mushroom tacos (De Hongos) Beer battered local white fish tacos (Estilo Baja) Blackened local swordfish tacos (De Espada) Downsides: Parking can be difficult (there is no dedicated lot but you might have luck parking on street by the residential neighborhood). Food may take a while. Tortillas are hand made to order on site. Not a quick serve place. Seats are not comfortable on your tush. I still highly recommend it. These were the best tacos on our SD trip.

You can't go wrong with any of the tacos! Such a simple and delicious menu to choose from. The hit of the group was definitely the de coco, the coconut added a nice crunch and sweetness to the taco, not too overpowering. The cilantro jalapeño slaw on the de espada taco was the perfect pairing, it was fresh and added a kick. Everything was perfectly fried, and the homemade tortillas were super soft! The wait for a seat is definitely worth it.

My new favorite seafood taco spot ! Honestly their mushroom taco was tied for my second favorite taco. Favorite was the white fish. My boyfriend's favorite was the coconut shrimp. We both were very very impressed with the vegetarian tacos. Tortillas themselves had the perfect texture flavor and oil level. It's a small shop with a few bar and then outdoor seatings. Staff is nice but sometimes have to flag them down due to the seating style. Overall would come back. Also- there is an amazing churro stand a few blocks down

Definitely worth a trip and the wait. Yes, Fish Guts is so popular people wait in line. Today I had their mushroom taco and another michelanas. Fabulous.

Glad we finally got to try this place. Felt it is a little overhyped. Definitely not the best fish taco in San Diego, but still really good. Tortillas are fresh and high quality. Fish is good. Tacos are small for only getting 2 for $12. Either drop it down to $9ish, or add a 3rd taco or make the pieces of fish bigger. Sitting outside was nice, but the street is busy, and lots of cars with loud exhaust made it hard to have a conversation with out pausing as drivers are trying to show off.

I like the coco shrimp one. The estilo bajo was not good. The espada one was decent. fish guts

The fish was slightly dry, but the flavors were well-balanced, and the slaw was excellent. However, the fish portions were on the smaller side. The coconut shrimp was nicely seasoned but didn't stand out much and tasted no different from the frozen ones from Costco (though I can tell it was made in house). The tortillas were the stand out. It wasn't too dry and had a slight sweetness. I came in hoping for elevated tacos like those at Holbox, but these were just okay. For elevated tacos in the area, Lola 55 remains my top choice. The al pastor tacos featured a smoky marinade and thick-cut meat, which was flavorful, but I personally prefer the thinner cuts found in street tacos slice from the trompo. While good, it wasn't quite my preference. The service was outstanding. The staff were exceptionally friendly, checked in on me regularly, and explained the menu in detail. I loved the vibes. I got to sit on the porch facing the street during sunset and it was such vibe.

Back in June, I was able to take a trip down to Mexico City where I tried the world only taco stall with a Michelin Star, Taqueria El Califa de Leon. I wasn't so impressed with the tacos themselves but what made the biggest impression on me were the tortillas. At that point in my life, I had never had a better tortilla than that. Today, however, I think I have found another tortilla and it was almost identical to Califa de Leon. We tried their Baja, and their swordfish. Both were delicious, which made me wonder...if Michelin is handing out a star to a place that is subpar but had outstanding tortillas, wouldn't it make sense to award a place with a star that has BOTH excellent tacos AND outstanding tortillas? Fish Guts is popular and for good reason. Everything is fresh and delicious. So count on about an hour to get your food from where you first queue up in line. And there is always a line. It's a small little place and they try and pack as many people as the city of San Diego will allow, but it's comfortable enough. All of this and some really excellent customer service...you can not go wrong with Fish Guts.

I'll start with the positive, we found this place through a YouTube video. We came in with the mindset of wanting to try as many items as we could. Some items were sold out. Everything was definitely different but tasted great. One of the waitresses was definitely friendly and attentive, she tried to make up for the lack of service from our actual waitress. The wait is definitely absurd and the hostess lacks communication. Every time she was asked about the wait times it was different even though she was asked minutes apart. The seating stools were beyond uncomfortable. Like I mentioned earlier we were planning on ordering more items, but we first had planned to order a few items and based on the taste we would order more or repeat items. Our waitress told us we needed to order everything we wanted at once because once she placed the order she wouldn't come back to take any additional orders and this comment was for drinks as well. Never in my life have I been told I can't order more items. They need to add a time limit there were people there when we first walked up to the line and still there once we left. This creates an unnecessary wait time especially considering how small the location is.

When I arrived, there was a line outside equal to the amount of people inside the very small restaurant and patio. The orders that were walked past us to the diners looked good enough to stay. I ordered the estilo baja and the pepino santo margarita. The food and margarita were an absolute perfect combination . An order comes with two tacos, although I wished I could have mixed and matched, I was not at all disappointed. Fresh corn tortilla, perfectly fried fish that was sweet and perfectly cooked with a slightly spicy and sweet slaw. The margarita had ground cumin and salt on the rim which went perfectly with the cucumber flavoring. Great experience that everyone should try at least once.

Really good tacos were had here at Fish Guts! The only complaint -I wouldn't even categorize it as a complaint, more like a suggestion- would be to add more menu items so there is more variety. Don't get me wrong, the simple menu of about 5 different tacos was excellent, but more options would be optimal. No notes on the drink choices, all gooood! Ordered the cucumber margarita and it was so refreshing, I wish it was summer already! My gf had the michelada which she said was good. She told me to add, "It's spicy enough that we didn't need condiments on our tacos." All taco plates came with 2 hefty tacos. We got the De Coco [$12] which is coconut battered shrimp & the Fish & Chips [$12] which was their spin on the UK's infamous fish & chips. All ingredients used were really fresh. The fish & chips came with a type of potato salad as a topping, very interesting! The coconut was super subtle on the shrimp dish which I appreciated. Really great tacos! What Fish Guts lacks in restaurant and menu size is made up from all the big flavors incorporated into their tacos. Street parking is plentiful and the all the employees were nice. Lots of stools available in & out of the place. Definitely a cool little hang out spot on the coroner of the famous Logan Ave.

I am so happy I discovered this adorable restaurant on TikTok. These are hands down the best fish and shrimp tacos I have eaten in a long time . Their corn tortillas are homemade and absolute perfection. The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked . Our servers were friendly and attentive. This is a small restaurant, but we were seated right away . I cannot wait to go back .

These are some of the most insane tacos I've ever had...hands down the best straight up fish tacos in San Diego (and anywhere else I've been). It's a small and cozy operation so make friends with some strangers sitting right next to you (if you wish). Service was great and the people are friendly. The tortillas are made in house and out of this world with just the perfect flavor. We tried the battered fish, battered coconut shrimp, blackened swordfish, and mushroom tacos...all of them 10 out of 10!

The food here was so good I didn't take a picture. I only had the De Coco tacos with a Juan Cordero Pale Ale, but those tacos were enough to earn five stars. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance is lovely. I will 100% be back ASAP to try everything else they serve.

Um- wow! Yes, there's a line. And yes, it's with the wait. Every taco was superior- I'm from the Midwest, and we just don't have seafood tacos like this.

Service was quick, I ordered a virgin michelada and it was so delicious I ordered another. The tacos were amazing, I ordered the fish and chips, fish was perfectly crispy and battered evenly, and the tortillas were definitely home made. I would buy them separate if I could! Will be back again. The only sad thing is they are closed Monday-Tuesday. But they're so worth the wait.

Was excited to try this place. A bit of a trek from gaslamp as I was staying there for a conference. Got there a few minutes after 12 and it was already packed. Luckily there were some counter seats available. Vibes were nice- casual, friendly. Tacos some in pairs for about $10. We tried the chipotle fried shrimp, the Baja fish, and the mushroom medley. Tacos were small, expected given street taco style. Flavors were good. However, the only downside was that we waited about 30min after placing order which seems a little long of a wait for a casual taco place. Also it was very chilly given that the setup really doesn't provide any shelter from the weather. I'm glad I tried it, but not sure if I would make the trek out again next time I'm in the area.

Visited for lunch mid week. O m g. Why did it take me so long to dine here?!? Oh wait I know why! Because this place has been a big hit since opening and I don't like long lines. We sat at the counter and ordered our food. Started off with: Estilo Baja- delicious and the chipotle aioli slaw was really nice and different. A must order!! De Coco- this one was good, however a bit to crunchy, and coconut forward for my taste. De Hongos- o m g, stop whatever you are doing and get yourself 10 of these tacos! Packed with oyster, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms & manchego cheese. Simply perfect. Eating tacos at Fish Guts, is definitely a nostalgic vibe for me. You can feel the breeze from the bay coming in, the interior designed with large marlins, and a random boat hanging from the ceiling.. kinda cool. All of it took me to that one place, that one spot, somewhere in Baja. Great job Fish Guts! I wish you many successful years to come.

Absolute best spot for fresh tacos in SD. Service is standard and pretty quick. Quality of ingredients is the best. The tortillas are made in house and you can tell with how well made they are. A must try!

Every time I've visited their food and service is solid. It's known they buy their seafood fresh each morning. Their cocktails are delicious and their tacos are unique. My favorites are the smoked fish dip and the fish n chips taco. Sometimes they sell out so get there earlier if you wanna make sure they have everything. We've gone on weekends close to when they open. Often if you see a line it goes fast.

We got the Estillo Baja tacos which were your typical battered fish tacos with a slaw and the De Hongos Tacos which was a very unique mushroom taco. The De Hongos was by far one of the best tacos I've ever had; The flavors were surprising but rich and balanced and delivered a unique taste. Score: 5/5 The Estillo Baja tacos were good but nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe because our expectations became super high after eating the De Hongos first. I would say the fish batter needed to be more crispy as it lacked that. It is not a bad taco whatsoever, but we just had better (that's just our opinion) Score: 3.8/5 Giving this place 5 stars because of the De Hongos. I don't think we can find tacos like these anywhere else and that's why it's a perfect score for us. The De Hongos are worth checking this place out, and we'll definitely come again when we're back in SD.
