Tj Oyster Bar

Tj Oyster Bar is a great representation of amazing Mexican food in San Diego. Seafood is fresh, tacos are extremely tasty and service is amazingly quick! Our food came out within minutes after ordering. I was truly impressed. I wanted to try this location because it has more seating and menu options compared to the location down the street. Super clean and spacious. It is a sit down restaurant. Plenty of parking available too. I will definitely order the smoked tuna taco again.

San Diego ― it's basically just tacos, sunshine, and happiness.When in San Diego, you gotta order all things baja. I asked my friend if she had any recommendations for baja tacos and she suggested this place. We got a dozen baja oysters (Thrillist ranked this place as one of the best oyster bars in San Diego), a fried fish taco (which they won an award for in Bon Apetitit magazine in their Taco Nation edition), a shrimp taco, and a mahi mahi taco along with a glass of horchata.I can see why they're so loved by locals. It's laidback and unpretentious, and they easily accommodated our walk-in party for seventeen kindly. Great service and great eats!

We got the shrimp ceviche tostada and tasted very fresh. As well as the scallop cocktail which I very much enjoyed. I didn't like the house special tostada but my partner did. I liked the music they played and the restaurant itself is very nice.

smoked tuna fries (3.8/5)fries are mid and r not seasoned but everything else was really good! never had smoked tuna but it paired really well with the sour cream & onions with cilantro. taqueso shrimp (4.7/5)weak shrimp but grilled cheese is amazing octopus taco (5/5) super tender octopus, fav taco here. if u don't like chewy octopus u will enjoy how they prepare their octopus here. octopus tostada (4.5/5)does not beat kikos seafood in SD at all, but really good! the first time i went here, it was SO good my bf and I both had to get a 2nd one each. this time around, it tasted too ketchupy. still good though! stingray taco (3.5/5) weird! but good. taste very meaty, wouldn't have guessed it was stingray. way better options on the menu though. shrimp aquachile (2/5) personally did not really enjoy it here. the shrimp and sauce itself really didn't really have much flavor, they don't soak the shrimp for long before they bring it out bc the shrimps have not been cooked by the lime yet so that might be the reason. expect a wait on any day if u go to any of the bonita locations, especially if u have a large group and don't want to sit at the bar.

I've come here twice so far. I have tried the half order aguachile (quite spicy but somehow I kept wanting to eat it), the fish ceviche, and a couple of their tacos. I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness of the seafood. It is a casual spot with indoor seating. The food comes out quickly. Overall, I recommend giving them a try.

We enjoy coming here when we have family visiting. They are not your typical Mexican food stop. I like the smoked tuna, shrimp ceviche tostadas, and a pina micheladaTheir micheladas are all good. My husband likes their tamarindo To start our night we always get rock shrimp. It's a little spicey for me but it's so good I keep eating it. Their kids menu of chicken tenders are not the greatest. Taste like frozen chicken tenders you can make at home. The wait can be a little long if you go on a weekend after 5/6pm. They have indoor or outdoor seating Service is sometimes hit or miss.

Food was really good and everything tasted fresh. We were a huge group with hungry kids after a baseball tourney and they were able to accommodate us and the food came out super fast. The fried calamari was our favorite. Liked the light batter. We tried the fish. Shrimp and ahi tacos, raw oysters - all yummy were fresh. Service was great!

Food is delicious, waiter Jose Luis is fantastic! ambiance is loud and they do not allow reservations and it's always packed so plan ahead.

I told the manager that they overcharged me by a taco. There was 4 of us. Our bill was $200 we counted the order and how many each person ate. And we are 100% sure that they overcharged us. After telling the manager he refused to acknowledge it. The food is good just make sure you check your bill so they don't over charge you
