50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Spring Valley

“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.“

“Love the food“

“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.“

“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“

“Most places we've gone to for taco Tuesday would have one or two tacos that are great but the rest blah. This place ALL of the tacos were Awesome. Great flavor, meat tender enough for someone with only one set of molars, and great price!
Then the Michelada BIG and yummmm.“

“Best place in the area! Hands down. Food is great, the people are awesome and the service is fantastic. Appreciation at the highest level. I always feel like I am a friend that has come to visit. I always get the Chile Colorado which is the best I have had on the coast. Get the pico de gallo, you will thank me. You guys are the best!!“

“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 🌟🌟🌟“

“On 12/29 at 4pm, we got married in Alcazar Garden! At 6pm, we had a reservation at Mabel's Gone Fishing for our party of 13, and it was the perfect first meal of the rest of our lives. The dinner was in the Fish Bowl, the private dining area next to the main one, and we had a prix fixe meal coordinated between us their event coordinator, Everything that came out was perfectly portioned. I never had a passionfruit mignonette, and I appreciate them opening my mind to a sweet thing with the savory brine of the oysters. Course after course, it just kept getting better. Our conservas platter with smoked and oil tinned mussels and mackerel, the roasted beets with the chili and goat cheese, the broiled cod in garum butter and sunflower...I can't believe we ate so much and still had space for cheesecake. This says nothing of the drinks we had, that we probably drank too much of, but they all went down so smoothly! Much praise for our two servers, one of whom was the coordinator we'd been chatting with via email for a month. When we come back to San Diego, The FIRST place we go to dinner will be Mabel's Gone Fishing...ok, maybe it will be Del Taco depending on when we land, but the SECOND place we go will definitely be Mabel's Gone Fishing.“

“Super delicious we love everything there !! Great food great service!!💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Such a satisfying dinner at Sizzler Steakhouse, The lobster was fresh and perfectly buttery, the steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the cilantro lime rice was honestly the star of the meal! Sooo good. Shoutout to our thoughtful server, Jeaneen, for always checking on us. Loved everything!“

“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.“

“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“

“This is a great stop to make if you are looking for some awesome fish tacos. It is off the beaten path of downtown SD, but worth the trip. Very small seating area and you may have to wait, but worth it! Nice staff and service.“

“Very good and excellent service in the food is great“

“Best Mariscos Delivery service no cap !!“

“Celebrated good friends’ birthdays on Fish and Chips night! Fun times with good food and great friends! 👍🏼😊🌻“

“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!“

“When I tell you the shrimp tacos were so good!!! The green salsa added a nice flavor as well but I loved them!! The fish tacos were also good!! I came to visit San Diego from the Bay Area and was in the mood for some shrimp/fish tacos this place did not disappoint! A bit pricey but worth it for me!“

“Finally made it to SeaTaco and didn’t disappoint. Great service and excellent food. I enjoyed the Chicharron de Pargo taco and Ahi Tuna Tostada. Great portions and sauces to compliment. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Chula Vista👍🏼“

“TJ Oyster Bar in Bonita, CA, is an absolute gem! The seafood is exceptionally fresh, and the flavors are nothing short of spectacular. From the mouthwatering fish tacos to the delightful ceviche, every dish is a testament to their commitment to quality. The casual yet inviting atmosphere, paired with friendly service, makes it a standout dining experience. If you're a seafood lover, TJ Oyster Bar is a must-visit destination. Five stars without a doubt!“

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

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

“first time, won’t be the last, super delish and very good prices“

“Wonderful ambiance and even our great VP of the US came to eat there. Compliments 👏 🙌 Sashimi and homemade ice cream 😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very delicious my new favorite Mexican food“

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

“One of the best restaurants I’ve been to! We loved everything we tried on the menu, and were sad to hear it’s being discontinued for a new spring menu—especially the filet mignon, which was incredibly tasty.
They put a lot of care into their dishes, which really matters to me. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared— like home-cooked food, but elevated to another level. Portions are on the smaller side, but the quality makes up for it.
I’m excited to come back and try the new spring menu!“

“rico consome. y burritos“

“Amazing seafood spot! The vibe was upbeat with great music and even a live performer. Service was top-notch—the owner came by our table, which made the experience feel really personal.

The food was absolutely worth it. Generous portions, flavorful boil, and a great margarita. My husband loved his shrimp po’ boy and garlic fries too.

It was busy when we went (Friday night), so just be prepared—but it’s definitely worth it. We’ll be back!“

“Crab Pub is the best! I’ve spent years going to Crab Hut but it’s been getting so expensive. I found Crab Pub literally a few days after they opened and been going ever since. I recommend then to everyone. You won’t be disappointed. Only thing they don’t have is corn bread but it’s ok!“

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

“el mejor aguachile de mango y piña la verdad es lo mejor en mariscos de Chulavista San Diego muy bueno todo doy un 💯“

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

“Super friendly staff. The best part of it all is when I get to go orders. I never have to worry about checking my bag. When I open it depending on what I got, there’s always red or green sauce, sliced limes, napkins and a fork. Even the cooks are involved with a customer service they always welcome customers as a walk-in.“

“The best tacos hands down! Visited in Chula Vista, CA! 🤤“

“OMG! Probably one of the best tacos and ceviches I’ve had in a long time! Uri and his sister really know how to run a business! Uri’s shrimp and octopus taco was SPOT ON and Liz’s mango mix shrimp tostada with tamarindo was just OUT OF THIS WORLD! Probably one of the best customer service I’ve had in a long time! Parking is limited, and had great outside seating with nice murals! My family will definitely be coming here for tacos!“

“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“

“Legitimately the best food I’ve had in San Diego in a minute. Perfect tacos that balance acidity, spiciness, fat and salt. Everything on the menu is delicious, and there is a patio in the back of the parking lot to enjoy it all. Can’t recommend higher.“

“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.“

“Very good service and great food. We are planing to go back for lunch or dinner. The prices are Awesome, my Salmon was delicious and the salad all our food was good.!!!♥️ Thank you Del & Dora Delgado 🥰“

“Best seafood in San Diego“

“Service and food is exceptional. This is our to go place when we are in town from AZ.“

“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.“

“great tasting food it was a packed little place with people waiting outside to be seated“

“Always fresh food excellent !“

“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!“

“Here we are again having another fabulous meal prepared for us. But's this time There was a party of maybe 6 women and they prefer to have the other entrance open so my wife froze her butt off for the whole meal it seems like it was below 0 degrees but all in all we still had a great meal. Maybe I should have said something to our waitress but I didn't want to upset the girls.“
