Word on the street

Notes from the regulars

A few of the five-star Google reviews people leave after a plate.

  1. The food is phenomenal, you come here for the seafood, ceviche, seafood cocktails, seafood tacos, etc. ALSO The steak is top teir too. Good to generous portions and if youre a fan of stuff being topped with a real portion of avocado, come here. Drinks are great, I had a Pom Mezcalito, STRONG, sweet and some spicy. Because I had a great experience and everything is 5 stars just a few things to improve on, I had the steak and lobster, great but it comes with chimichurri instead of steak sauce, still good just different and lobster needed some melted butter which I asked for but it should really come with it. Sometimes its a little harder to keep track of who your service is, we did come with a big group for a graduation party, so its a little hectic in there. Possible deal breaker for some but restrooms are around the building, private single use, so seeing a line is common when its busy.

  2. Had a great time, fast service, very polite server and delicious food and drinks. The server sat us down quickly, he took our order and brought out our food in a timely manner. I had the pork belly tacos, my friend had the beer batter fish tacos, my son had the shrimp tacos, my grandson had a shrimp cocktail and we were not disappointed. There was music and the atmosphere was nice. Definitely recommend this place, we will be going back to try different items on the menu as we noticed some of the other customers dishes looked amazing too.

  3. We were craving fish battered tacos and we got them. They are big seasoned perfectly and delicious. We just happened to go on a Wednesday when they have a special of two tacos for 6 dollars. We loved them we had six and took four to go. You definitely gotta try them. I really enjoyed the chile toreados as an appetizer.

  4. I've been going for many years to their San Fernando restaurant but I'm so happy this place opened up closer to where I live. The shrimp & octopus cocktail is super delicious as well as their fish tacos. The bread pudding dessert is also great and they have great alcoholic drinks too. Highly recommend!

  5. Amazing food and great experience! The flavors were delicious, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back. Highly recommend Papa Juan’s Baja Gril.
