Sooooo goood decent prices and a good amount of ceviche. I got an al pastor taco and also tasty and the tortilla was good. I ordered of DoorDash and was my first time. I will definitely go in person soon. :)

The food is good like any other location BUT the smell of pee, homeless around and dirty tables it's always a problem.

Great food, poor service with an attitude! Asked twice for salsa and both the younger Mexican girl and gentleman never appeared. I had to go back up to the window to ask a 3rd time. Delivered with sour face with no apology!

Sun-filled balcony, jarritos, and fresh ceviche, does it get any better? I ordered Mexican style ceviche tostada and two fried fish tacos, both perfect. If your uber driver tells you about a place, it usually won’t disappoint.

Great food . Shrimp enchilado taco was the best. All the food regardless was delicious and fresh

Food was good, but not my favorite. Tostada was soggy but burrito was delicious even the next day. Had an issue with my order and the staff were very kind and fixed it without issue. Very cute spot and nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

We just got ripped-off in plain daylight yesterday afternoon! $5 each for one CAN of soda and one BOTTLE of mineral water at Karina's Ceviches & More on India St. in S.D.! Gasoline is even cheaper than a beverage (too bad that gasoline is not as tasty as beer, soda, or whatever! LOL!) WT*?!! By the way, we really enjoy dining at the Karina's chain of restaurants, so we're not complaining about the food (the ahi poke and the ahi tuna tostadas were good - a little overpriced but still good). I don't blame the beverage prices on inflation. I believe it's greed. If the beverage was refillable, okay, I'd say $5 is expected when we dine-out; but c'mon . . . $5 for one can of soda/bottle?!

Wow! The aguachiles were delicious, spicy just the way I like them. I also ordered their michelada and it's definitely top 3 on my list and I'm picky about my micheladas! I'll be back next time I'm in SD.

Been coming here for the past two years. Really great tacos. Recently they raised the prices which isn't too big of a deal even though they were already expensive, the tacos are so good it was worth it. But today (2/25/24 3:30 PM. Whoever was working the register is either rude or just dumb. He took my order and before the transaction was done he walked away. I waited at the window for my horchata and chips and salsa like always. He didn't come back so I just took my number and sat at the patio thinking he'll bring it out with my food. He brings out our food and I ask him for my horchata. He says sure and goes back in, helps the two customers waiting at the register (takes another 2 minutes), comes back out with another order and my horchata in hand and walks right past me to deliver the other customers food. Mind you I've already started eating as we were outside and I'd rather eat without my drink than eat cold food. At that time my friend got up and went to the window for napkins. This guy walks right past me AGAIN (WITH MY HORCHATA IN HAND!) to go help my friend. I was already halfway done eating by the time I GOT UP and went to the window to get my drink. Has common sense and courtesy been lost??

I had high hopes for this restaurant given the many positive reviews. Ordered the Marina Mixto plate with avocado, which was supposed to be a mix of shrimp, bay scallops, and octopus. What I got was a mostly tomato and cucumber dish with tiny bits of seafood. Amazing how small they chopped the seafood. There may have been pieces of 3-4 tiny bay scallops, 2-3 small shrimp, and barely discernable octopus. Taste was fresh and this would easily be 4 stars if there was actually seafood to be seen and tasted in the dish. Poor value for the price.
I can highly recommend the surf and turf and the Malin taco. They are tasty and have a little crunch to it with the cabbage. I was hoping for a better view from the airport, instead the highway is a bit loud, service was ok.

Came here right from the airport for ceviche! I loved the ahi tuna ceviche, like memorably so. It was not only delicious but beautifully presented with pickled onions and fresh ingredients. I also had a camarones cocidos tostada, which was tasty, but less impressive. It was shrimp cocktail on a tostada, which was what I ordered, so no complaints. My spouse, who is not a fish/seafood person, but brings me to the beach anyway, had the carne asada fries. They were tasty. The meat was very good. They had orchata and I had a jamaica agua fresca to drink- both hit the spot. The patio was clean and nice. Atmosphere is fast, casual. No complaints here. I am still remembering the ahi ceviche!

It’s alright! I would recommend it to a friend but I would go again to try something else. I missed out on the flavor/marinade everyone mentioned. It tasted like each individual ingredient, not a dish. I ordered the Karina’s.

This has become my go-to taco place when I'm driving near the airport. It consistently has some of the best tasting tacos around. I usually go for the smoked marlin or the scallops. The combination of fresh ingredients is somewhat unique-- it's slightly different than what I've found at typical mariscos with amazing flavors. 2-3 tacos are a full meal so you can try something new each time. It's easy to find a parking space on the street- just park on the side of the street by the freeway and walk across the street. You just order at the window and then sit at the tables on the balcony area nextdoor.
