50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lakeside

“best menudo on the planet“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“Anthony's is our family's choice whenever we want a special dinner, especially since there's so many wonderful seafood dishes on the menu. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful on our recent visit, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed salmon pasta and steak, and lovely burnt creme for dessert. Having a view of the roaring Spokane Falls just added to the ambiance.“

“We have been HUGE a huge fan of a local crawfish restaurant for as long as they have been open, and have gone frequently over the years. Recently we have been looking to try some of the other crawfish places around. Not only did the Boxing Crab have flavorful sauces to choose from, top quality freshness, the best cooked crawfish we have had in a restaurant, (even better than our regular spot), and their service was wonderful! We now have a new GoTo! We will recommend them again and again!“

“amazing fish stew better than any you'd find in La Jolla!“

“I’ve been here three times now and tried different dishes each visit, and every single one has been flavorful and delicious. You can really tell they put care into their food. The prices are very reasonable, which makes it even better. The atmosphere is always great, and the music adds to the whole experience. They also have multiple televisions for all types of sports events, which makes it a great spot to hang out. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious!!! Line was long but well worth the wait. First time but definitely not my last. Great Customer service as well.“

“Really good food. Extremely attentive staff. Thank you for a wonderful 40th Anniversary dinner!“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“As a Mexican, I’m very particular about my mariscos, and out of the three Mariscos trucks in El Cajon, this one is by far the best. I love their aguachiles, and their fairly priced fish tacos are bomb. Authentic as it gets, to be honest!!“

“Guanatos 2 Mexican is the kind of spot you almost don’t want to review… because once everyone figures it out, you’re going to have to wait for a table.

This place was amazing. Period.

The fish tacos and shrimp tacos were absolute studs. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, loaded with flavor, and zero filler. Just straight up legit tacos. And the value? Wild. You leave full, happy, and wondering how it didn’t cost twice as much.

The shrimp ceviche tostada was a knockout. Bright, citrusy, piled high, and dangerously easy to demolish. “We’ll share it,” we said. Sure we did.

And big shout out to Juan, our server, who was phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, on top of everything without hovering. The kind of service that makes the whole experience even better.

Guanatos 2 is authentic, affordable, and flat out delicious. No gimmicks. Just great food and great people. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Amazing! Great options and friendly environment!!“

“Pleasantly surprised by this place. First time trying it as I’m looking to make 2023 a year I explore new food places. This was my first new place of the year and I’m glad I found them! Friendly people and don’t be fooled by the small frontage. Hole in the wall places are the best. I also liked their happy hour menu….I was there for lunch but will be going back for happy hours and dinners😃“

“The staff was very friendly and professional. Quality of food was excellent. Staff go out of their way to take care of large family orders.

Provided a bug order for my father in-law's (Granddaddy Earl) small family gathering. Everyone loved the food. My wife Monica appreciates this place too.. Park chops are so good they taste like Fried chicken 🍗..

“We’ve been so happy with each dinning experience we’ve had at Tsunami! The service is excellent and their food extraordinary! The sushi is fresh and they have their own unique creations as well as the classics. Their tempura is a delight and the prawns are crazy good! If you’re a sushi fan, this is a must go!!!“

“I’ve only tried the burritos and tacos from here and it’s the best Mexican burrito and tacos I’ve tried. I struggle with Mexican food shops because the quality of the meat (carne asada) is gross most times but not here food is consistent, fresh, and quality ingredients and I appreciate when food business places use fresh quality ingredient.“

“Best fish and chips I’ve had in San Diego. Clean and friendly but don’t order too much as their fish is very big. Best french fries ever! If I just wanted french fries that would be my stop.“

“My favorite Mexican Food truck. Everything deicious and I always come by whenever I have a craving for authentic tacos and burritos. The owner is also a pretty nice guy and really cares about his business.

The Taco Tuesday deals have also expanded to include birria, shrimp, adobada and fish“

“Best bar in San Diego super nice staff and great food“

“This place is so good. The food is fresh and hot. Most of all delicious. I enjoy the salt and pepper nuggets and hit and sour soup but other family members enjoyed the orange tofu. Oh and the Thai tea was yummy too. I am so glad to have this spot in my neighborhood. Its a bit warm in the restaurant but that's cause the kitchen is open and very busy.“

“yummy yummy yummy...my niecy recommended thos restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Large portions and friendly service.“

“We have been coming here for a year now. Great service in fact before our family sits down they are already preparing our drinks for our family. Food is great especially the mole chicken enchiladas.“

“Nice addition to Scripps Ranch suburbia with good food and nice staff.
It is finally getting busier and hopefully they stick around for a while.
Wish they had happy hour as this would bring more locals in.
Parking can be a hassle on busy evenings.“

“me fascina el pozole y aquí en este lugar esta súper bien 150% bueno y claro que lo recomiendo.. muy buen servicio.“

“I got it to go. I ordered a variety of food. It was good and flavorful. I enjoyed it. I’ll be back again cause my friend lives right around the corner. The flavors was nice and mix with seasonings. I enjoyed de Loco moco I like the sauce, but it was different from other sauces. I had. I might order extra rice with it next time all the food had a lot of flavor I will be back. I forgot one of my items I had to go back and get it.“

“Good fish tacos 🐟 🌮 and fast service with friendly staff“

“Excelente servicio esta buena la música con el mariachi muy rica la comida nos tocó de mesero el Sr Alfonso muy amable muy buen servicio.“

“I accidently ordered from the wrong location for pickup and was ready to pay a second time just get the food but they insisted I did not pay again and prepared the food I ordered anyway. Absolutely lovely people, it was very kind of them. As for the food itself, it was great with generous proportions to boot.“

“Love the food“

“We went to Hacienda Grill over the weekend for a birthday. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was awesome! Our server was very attentive and kind. I highly recommend this place. We will be coming back soon. 😊“

“We have eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed. This time around we ordered 81. General Tao's Chicken, 37. Assorted Wonton Soup, and the 21. Egg Roll (4). My wife was feeling under the weather and the soup brightened her mood. She said it was exactly what she needed. The egg rolls were crisp and fresh. General Tao's Chicken was absolutely delicious. There are chilies in the dish. So, be aware if you are spice averse.

I highly recommend eating in person as well. It's a very nice restaurant and a great place to go for a midweek meal as well as special occasions.

Looking forward to trying other dishes on their extensive menu!“

“ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรืออร่อย พนักงานน่ารัก“

“La Casitas Grill and seafood went above and beyond to support a local fundraiser the rice,beans, and fajitas were delicious. We can't thank you enough for not just feeding the community but being part of it. Great food served by wonder people. Thank you again and again.“

“Awesome and friendly service and great food“

“Love this place, I eat at El Rincocito Fruteria at least once a week or more. Food is freshly made when you order. The staff are really friendly and polite, and they accommodate you if you have any food restrictions, they have a big menu. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food, the meals look, taste, and are very similar to other locations so that is great, as it is consistent.

The shrimp trio is probably my favorite Taco Tuesday item. Their fish tacos are also very good, as well as the shrimp and bacon burrito. The burritos do have bunch of jalapeno seeds in there that make it really spicy.“

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“@marietaselcajon has a super cute spot in the El Cajon area with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Don’t miss their happy hour or their Friday and Saturday special—order one appetizer and get the second half off! Plus, the appetizer portions are huge and absolutely mouthwatering.“

“Hawaiian BBQ in Poway? I always wanted to try it, but was a little skeptical of location. This Groupon gave us the courage to try it and boy were we surprised by the wonderful seasoning of the food and generous portions. Ono kine grindz! Broke da mouf! 5 BIG SHAKAS for Ipo Hawaiian BBQ.“

“Had funbbbb bb bbvcxswsxvnnvxdryhvcdfhb“

“A favorite for fresh coastal food. I’m a long time fan of the original Baja fish tacos. Lots of other choices and good fresh salsas. Good friendly service.“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Great place to come after dropping off your car at one of the many car shops around here. Came in for breakfast, chips and salsa first thing you come in, the cafe de olla was phenomenal. The breakfast chorizo burrito was delicious and price affordable. Great service provided by server Daniel 🌟🌟🌟“

“I ordered food today July 27th 2024. Whatever cook you guys have back there at that time deserves a raise, just because I could tell they have a passion for food and delivering great food to whoever orders. The lady upfront was courteous and professional. I’m a restaurant manager, I would steal whoever made my food back there in an instant.“

“Great food and music. Owner and staff made us feel at home, gracias“

“Amazing staff especially at the bar they deserve a raise I went to a black angus in Chula Vista horrible experience but today they redeemed the steak house for me“

“Came back to El Cajon from Texas and was craving some CA Mexican food. I tried Ponchos and loved the food. I had the Surf and Turf burrito and the wife had potato rolled tacos. The food was good and hit that spot that only CA Mexican food can.“

“I've only had take out from this place, but it was a good take out. They have good variety. Took shrimp, squid, fried rice, chicken, some broccoli, all good. They also have sushi among a lot other options. Will go to sit down and eat one day, but for now they are a good quickie solution for me.“
