"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
"This once-tiny seafood spot has expanded to a few different locations in the South Bay. It is known for its seafood cocktails, as well as its classic Baja fish tacos, made with battered and fried swai fish and sold for 99 cents apiece. Round out your Baja experience by ordering a half dozen seasonal Baja oysters, and be sure to experience the original, at 4246 Bonita Road, which is tiny but full of love." - Kristin Díaz de Sandi
"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, Mario A. Cortez
