Baja-style seafood with fish tacos, oysters & ceviche
"A seafood-focused spot whose fried fish tacos and ice-cold ceviche earn strong recommendations from locals and visitors alike." - Stephanie Gravalese
"This family-run taco shop first made waves with its original strip-mall outpost in Bonita decades ago — known especially for its famed battered fish tacos. Since then, the restaurant has branched out to a second location in Bonita and another on East Palomar Street. Diners come for the tacos and stay for the mariscos. Oysters (fried, Baja, and ahi tuna depending on the location), shrimp and fish tostadas, and aguachile with lime juice-cured shrimp and either a green serrano or red chile sauce leave visitors more than satisfied. Seafood-leaning taco options include ahi tuna, grilled fish, shrimp chipotle, and mahi mahi." - Roxana Becerril
"Highlighted as a great spot for sampling Baja-style fish tacos with a specific description: beer-battered fried fish tucked into a corn tortilla and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa, and a zig-zag of lime crema sauce." - Kelly Bone
"A South Bay institution, TJ Oyster Bar has been wrapping fish tacos and serving oysters for two decades. A Baja-style vibe and quality ingredients continue to bring customers into this revered mariscos stop. While the original location is packed almost every day, a bigger location nearby has more than enough space for everyone looking to put away a few tacos and micheladas." - Candice Woo
"This bustling Baja-style seafood joint got its start in Bonita in 2002 and is now serving scrumptious dishes at three locations in Bonita and Chula Vista. The fish tacos are a must-try. The battered rock shrimp appetizer, machaca-style stingray, and smoked tuna fries are also highly recommended." - Helen I. Hwang
