San Diego Bay Restaurant

This is a family owned business. The waitress was super sweet and very attentive. I can definitely say that this is a family atmosphere. The food was ok. I was disappointed that the rice was not cooked fully and the beans tasted like can beans. The toritos were different and not as good as normal toritos. Salsa was super yummy! The fried fish was good. All in all it was ok, definitely not somewhere I'd say I'd come again unless I want a fried mojara.

Solid restaurant for a cute little dinner! It was not super memorable, but the food is reliable and the service is good. If you like seafood, it's definitely the spot. We went last-minute and liked the huge space that the restaurant is a part of (although it's kind of creepy at night!). I got the famous molcajete bowl, which is essentially a large bowl of melted cheese with some seafood. Avoid if you are trying to lose weight! My fiancé got the whole fish filet, which comes with rice and beans. That looked like a fantastic, healthy meal. Our server was really nice and attentive. Granted, we were the only ones there, but still! Place is colorful and has Mexican-themed decor. Recommend for a casual dinner with a twist on Mexican cuisine.

Apparently my last review is 7 years old. I've been coming here for way longer than that, and the food has remained consistently good. This is my favorite mariscos in the world. Whenever I come back and visit I try to come here for the shrimp molcajete with all its shrimpy cheesy mushroomy boiling goodness. Was happy to share this place with a loved one on a recent trip and they got the mixed seafood molcajete and loved every bite. There are other places around the country that have a molcajete on the menu but none compare to this one.

A hole in the wall restaurant. My husband and I would have probably never thought about trying this restaurant because of their location. Tucked away in what looks like exhibition space/party area kind of building, this place is easy to miss, especially since it's on the corner of a residential area!The restaurant came as a recommendation from our friends who live close to this area. Yesterday was our second time there. On the inside, it feels like you've gone to Mexico. Bright colorful walls, Spanish music and simple decor. When you sit, they serve you fresh chips and salsa and ask you for your drink orders while you review the menu. Yesterday, we ordered the same dishes we ordered the first time we were there (which was about 7 months ago). A whole fried red snapper fish, cactus salad, guacamole, fries, Lava Bowl and this time breaded fried shrimp instead of the garlic calamari we ordered last time. Since the fish is fried to order, it usually takes a little while before it comes out but everything else comes out pretty quickly. The food is fresh and delicious. Everything has so much flavor. The guacamole is creamy but it doesn't look like they add any sour cream to it. The shrimp was cooked to perfection! The best breaded shrimp I've had in a while! The cactus salad has a distinctive flavor and is very tasty. The Lava Bowl is so hearty and tasty! It's basically mixed seafood cooked with some veggies like mushrooms in a rich tomato sauce topped with some melted cheese, what can be better than that?! All the food is served with tortillas. Some dishes like the fried shrimp come with rice and beans on the side. The prices are average. For all the dishes we ordered (and we ordered 2 cactus salads and 2 guacamole), the bill came out to about $95 which is pretty average for a seafood dinner for 4 people. The service is excellent! One lady serves pretty much the whole restaurant and she is on top of everything all the time! We will return to enjoy their food again and afain. It is not only different, it is very good!

Would you believe me if I told you I've been wanting to eat here for 20 years? My friend and I had planned to eat here back in the '90s but we weren't able to find the restaurant so we strolled away in our plaid flannel shirts, pagers on hip, stomping away in our Doc martens and ended up eating somewhere else while rockin' out to Nirvana (Insert any additional 90's clichés here). I totally forgot about this place until I saw some other Yelpers post photos of the food here. I'm glad it's still open after all these years!The restaurant is in a little plaza with a few other businesses, in a corner spot. The interior is spacious with bright cheerful accents. We were seated at a cozy booth and after glancing at the menu I knew I had to have the Mighty Mt. Molcajete, AKA lava bowl! You have your choice of cameron/shrimp or mixed seafood. I opted for the mix. While we waited we got a tray of chips with salsa. The salsa had a wonderful blend of flavors and tasted house-made. It went great with the chips. It took a bit to get our food but it's OK, I'm sure it takes a long time to heat up a bowl made of rock! When it came out it was a bubbling, cauldron-like batch of stew. As a hungry Shakespeare would say, "Double double toil and trouble; Fire burn and seafood bubble!" It was a mountainous pile of seafood in that bowl, filled with shrimp, octopus, calamari and snail. It was molten hot and I did have to wait quite a bit for it to cool down. The broth was volcanically spicy and well seasoned. You have the option of flour or corn tortillas to go with the molcajete, I opted for the flour. I received 2 large sized tortillas, piping hot in the tortilla warmer. While the seafood itself was pretty good, the shrimp was not cleaned so I did get some gritty bites when I was eating.I had a bite of the shrimp flautas which were excellent. They came with a mound of guacamole, and the shrimp was tender and delicious in its marinated red sauce.Service was very friendly, sweet and attentive. The server really wanted to make sure we had a good experience here.

To receive excellent seafood and service, everything comes for a price... The fees here are right in line with freshness and perfection from the team hereThere's an old school jukebox, great música

The Molcajete De Mariscos and the broiled fish were excellent, but super pricey. Our dinner (for two people), plus a couple drinks was $80, which is probably why this very simple, plain restaurant was completely deserted except for our party on a Friday night.

Their soups are spectacular. Went there the other day and had a wonderful meal. My friends ordered enchiladas and loved them. And everything goes better with a Mexican coke! Try any of the seafood soup dishes and you won't be disappointed.

Awful!!!!! 35 dollars for everything in this photo!! What a rip off I cannot believe they send plates out like this. Super disappointed I called to let them know about this and they hung up. Please go somewhere else.Never going again

Second time and the eating here and I absolutely love this place! Traditional Mexican restaurant and the best I've found in the area!! The staff is super friendly! The Tilapia was sooooo good! If you like sea food + Mexican food, you need to come here! I can't wait to come back!
