“Had funbbbb bb bbvcxswsxvnnvxdryhvcdfhb“

“Kimberly was a great hostess and everyone was so kind to our group of 100+ people! We had a high school reunion luncheon at this Sizzler and the staff was nothing short of amazing! Kimberly was prompt, quick and served us with a smile. I think Dan was also working in our section and he also did wonderfully. \n\nThe prices were a little higher than I recall, but the food was good so it was worth it. The parking lot was busy but we had no trouble getting there and it was fairly accessible for our crowd. We didn’t have to wait too long for our food, we were playing games while waiting so the time went quickly. It was great for an older crowd and dependable.\n\nAll in all, it was a great place to host a large gathering and the service was top notch.“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“Their fries were amazing. There were 4 of us, 2 like seafood and 2 did not- perfect place to go with affordable prices. Burger was juicy and the secret sauce to go with burger- delicious. There service was friendly and gave great recommendations“

“Better than expected for sure. I was pleasantly surprised, thinking this would be something between a hole in the wall diner and a Rubios. Turned out way better. Food was great, place was hoppin, full bar, plenty of service staff, etc. Only place I can even think to say they could have been a step better would be seating; it was clearly built for cleanliness over comfort where a combo would have been nice. 👍🏼 Great job to the owners.“

“Anthony's is a favorite of ours. The food and service are consistently good. The atmosphere puts you in a vacation state of mind. Because of this we held our daughter's wedding shower here. The room was perfect. Everyone had a beautiful view of their little lake. Will was our server. He was spot on. This is the best place to host a small event. There were several food options, plus you could choose a hosted or non-hosted bar, wine at tables, etc. We chose to have a hosted bar, which brought the price per person up.“

“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!“

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

“Wow, such great food and awesome service! Had the lobster roll and it was quality lobster and overflowing with actual meat. Everything was delicious.“

“Delicious food! I ordered the Tilapia plate with the rosemary zucchini & side salad. It came with a good amount of fish so was happy with the protein portion size. In the picture I had already eaten one of the fish filets. 🙊 The service was excellent too. Was greeted right away, offered help to put my order in the kiosk but told them I could manage. I accidentally put in that I wanted Cajun sauce, thinking I was putting in no cajun sauce so the order came out wrong because of my mistake but they were more them happy to remake it for me. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“2nd visit and again food and service were great. only complaint was they cleared my dessert when I wasn't finished without asking. took that as hint to leave.“

“First time here since it’s been under new ownership. It’s the same owners as Purple Mint! Which is next door. Makes me wonder if they share the same kitchen because Purple Mint is vegetarian.I love how the new space is now bright, simple minimalist decor. The food was A++ and we will be back many more times. We love the traditional cơm phần (family style) meal.We ordered the 2-3 family meal ($55)-sweet and sour tamarind soup-catfish clay pot-fried pork cutlets-water spinach (rau muống)Also ordered:-salted fish chicken fried rice-1/4 pound roasted duckThe soup had the spongy plant (elephant ear), okra, bean sprouts, pineapple, tons of cat fish filets. The soup had the right amount of tamarind, sweet and sour.Fish clay pot also had lots of fish filet. We liked everything in this set. Only mistake was not ordering the next one up which had the clams!The chicken salted fish fried rice was the least favorite. It didn’t have the strong salted fish smell or taste. Had more chicken than salted fish.The parking lot is really small. Not many spaces and it’s one way in, one way out. It’s great that Paris bakery closes early. Leaving spaces for Maxim’s and Purple Mint. The area is also a little bit sketchy if you have to park on the street.“

“Definitely surprised to see so many one star reviews. If you’re looking for succulent, juicy tacos on a taco Tuesday, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. All the staff was friendly and nice. But if I’m grading, I’m grading. It’s hard to maintain perfection in a dine in setting.
Juicy fish and shrimp tacos. Chowed down 4 big tacos with the delicious salsa that comes w the chips.
If I was paying. I would have definitely grabbed 6. Next time. Sigh….. next time.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor! The service was fast and friendly, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing meal.
Highly recommend this place.“

“The food is soooo good, big portions and excellent service.“

“cheese enchiladas to go were very good! Food ready in minutes! good job!“

“This place is the best! We’re from Colorado and we found this place three years ago when we were visiting. We’ve dreamt about their fish and shrimp tacos ever since, so we make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in San Diego. This last trip was no different. We even went twice this year because they recommended their garlic and butter fish and shrimp tacos and they’re to die for (along with everything else we’ve had). While they do have outdoor seating available, we ate in our car because we had our pup with us. When we went back, they even said they remembered us. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, the place is clean and the food is tasteful. We just wish they would bring their truck to Denver so we could have them more often!“

“Hands down the best seafood in San Diego

I live in Riverside County, but I go and visit my family in San Diego and we have to hit the spot the big charola for $150 pack the seafood you can go wrong and they give you two big full bags of tostadas in each tostada is 7+ dollars to the math can go wrong 10 out of 10 highly guarantee this spot come check the spot down on the southeast San Diego“

“Overall their poke is really good and their boba drink is good :) I just wish they kept their miso soup as an option since I felt that it was a huge inconvenience to remove it at the time I needed their soup the most and there wasn’t any explicit announcement about it too. It didn’t really help that it was on the menu and that they said they removed it as I wanted to order it.“

“We really enjoyed our meal here! We had the chimichanga, beef and bean burrito, and a couple of rolled tacos. The chimichanga was definitely our favourite! We also had the churros which had a fruit filling (strawberry?) and we're delicious.“

“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!!“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“Friendly, fun, karaoke night. Excellent seafood and generous portions.“

“Thank you very much Anh Khiem, you are a really good person, the meaning is clear when customers call in, the restaurant service is very good,. The food is very delicious, I will come back for my birthday next year, the inside of the restaurant is very beautiful and clean, you should hold a party here,❤️“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“Great fish and shrimp tacos. The little cup of free soup was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I'm an old guy so spending nearly $20. for lunch still gets to me, but I'll gladly come back here and do it again & again. The Surf & Turf burrito is excellent, AND BIG. The chips & salsa are just right and the Coke from the fountain drink machine is not watered down like some places. I will try to schedule my jobs in El Cajon around lunch time.“

“really Good Tacos 🙂💜🌹 Cashier was really nice 🙂“

“Always a wonderful experience with great food and service! I have loved every thing I’ve tried on the menu. This is our go to place whenever we want tasty and excellent cuisine👏“

“THE MOST AMAZING SOUL FOOD IN SAN DIEGO! I've tried every soul food spot in sd but this is by far the best. The best fried chicken, yams, and mac n cheese. Everything tasted homemade & the people are really nice. Do order it right as they open (you may need to call every ten minutes because it seems like they're phone gets backed up).“

“went on my birthday with family. great mexican food with fun mocktails as drinks. has great festive atmpsohere for any location and plenty of parking at grossmont area“

“good service and delicious dood“

“This is what got me hooked on Indian food. They're food is delicious and very fairly priced. The mango lassi is tasty, its a must have with the meal. I've been to numerous Indian restaurants and none of them have come close. I've been to 10 consecutive year michelin restaurants in Thailand, and yes it was delicious, but this place had slightly beat it. So its got to be that good. 10/10 recommended I've taken my friend's and they all love it too“

“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😃“

“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.“

“Wow, this place rocks really good Hawaiian food at a reasonable price they even have Happy Dad hard seltzer here which makes me super happy! They have a value menu for $12.99 with a drink between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM Monday through Friday. You can get a Katsu bowl or a teriyaki bowl or a wrap or a mini plate or a cheeseburger or three Musubis. You can have it to go or eat it here, but it has a little Hawaiian vibe here for sure lots of food good price quality stuff. Definitely pay them a visit and try one of the happy dads they have.“

“We've been patrons for 61 years; spent our 60th. Anniversary dinner here along with all our family mile stones: birthdays, wedding rehearsal dinners, etc. We love the staff, lovely people and family and the food is always great. We love the atmosphere; calm and private booths... they are family as far as we are concerned...“

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

“Love the food“

“Fast, Friendly, and Amazing. Don’t know how else to describe Golden Bay. Staff is kind and inviting. We received our appetizer and drinks fast. We ordered the Mongolian beef and Salt and Pepper chicken wings. The wings were moist, crunchy and packed with flavor. The Mongolian beef was soft but easy to tear. We order some fried rice on the side but we were so stuffed we decided to take it home. The portions were large and were more than enough for 2 people.“

“Adrien was amazing. I made some complicated orders and he directed me to things that were already on the menu very knowledgeable and sweet and as I waited for my food, I noticed hedid the same thing with each individual making sure each order was correct. That’s real customer service.“

“The birria tacos were delicious. The drinks were way of a priced. They had a DJ that had really good music and then they had karaoke but it was so loud you couldn't talk to the person across from you. Every time we needed something from the waitress we had to wave her down to come to the table. She was very nice but service was not so good.“

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

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

“I stop here every time I’m in this side of my neighborhood. Take the 15 freeway and Exit El Cajon Blvd, go East a few blocks but don’t pass Menlo Ave. Look for Fish and Birria signs waving. They have the whole parking lot just drive in! I usually have two or three Fish tacos (w/o crema) and a pop then they usually know when I’m done because my to-go order is hot and ready!! My grandson is very picky but he looks forward to their Carne Asada Quesa taco’s. I’ve tried a lot off their menu and have never been disappointed, ever. They also GIVE you a “Consommé” which is actually a small portion of their seafood soup not just the fluid, I’ve had whole shrimp in mine many times and small pieces of fish. They’re not stingy with their variety of hot salsas/chili pods and garnishes (limes, cilantro, onions and pickled onions. Lots of ice cold canned and bottled drinks to choose from. This is my only food truck I trust 100% and love their quality of cooking. You’ll agree too once you try them out!“
