I just happened to be in the area I found this great little place.Got some parm fries I watch the ships that sail.They even have a little outdoor bar with heaters.I've been up and down the Southern Cal Coast and it's hard to find little places like this.Not sure if they have coffee so I'm going back this weekend because it's so close to the waterfront Park.

Love the food but the lady taking my order was so rude. She cut me off multiple times while I was asking a question and never actually answered my question. My husband went back up after me to order more food and had the same experience.

Right on the harbor, and pretty good food. The carnita queso fries were good, but hit pretty hard.

Food is good but a little overrated in my opinion. However atmosphere is awesome! Great place just to have a beer.

Fast service, horrible food. Chicken tenders were awful - seemed like they were expired frozen tenders that were over cooked and dry.... we ate here at approx 2pm and they were out of ketchup? Fries were decent - would have been better with ketchup. The mahi fish sandwich was "edible" but not good.

Homeless population was a bit troublesome while we were there but everything else was great!

Nice. Right on the water and Broadway. Food was pricey but probably because of the location. I ordered Baja fish tacos. They came quick and were bigger than expected.

Little spot right on the boardwalk along the bay. The food here is excellent. I tried the carnitas queso fries, which was . Fried were crispy, carnitas were flavorful and juicy, the queso was excellent, add pico, jalapeños and salads and it's magical. The orders come out fairly quickly and there's nice outdoor seating, def give this place a shot!

You can't beat this location, right on San Diego Bay. It's all outdoor, with a cool little bar. Gotta say, my carnitas tacos were just swimming in grease...

Placed on an online order from the table. Their system was down. I went to the window to pick up and they gave me the run around. Sent me to the bar next to this "establishment" to pick up drinks and bar tender went back inside the building to get my drinks. I told the pick up window I was missing some churros from the order. They told me ten minutes because they can't refund since their system is down. I told them okay. Ten minutes later, no one knows anything about my missing items. 15 more minutes for my items. Don't take online orders when the system is down!!

Our order was mixed up, but they corrected it right away. The loaded enchiladas were great. You can sit in the open air with a beautiful view of the water.Vegetarian options: Loaded enchiladas were tasty. Not vegan.
