This was a great lunch choice for our visit to OB. The vibe was great, with an awesome all day weekend happy hour (can we get a shout out for $3 draft beers please?). Our server was super friendly and attentive and they had plenty of seating both inside and out. Our tacos were great, with lots of fillings and garnish. We loved how the tortillas held up without tearing. No spills is always a good thing. The carnitas were flavorful and the Baja fish was crunchy without excess oil. Definitely a return option on our trip.

DAVID IS THE BEST!
My girlfriend and I, plus our dog Bella Tactical, were walking the beach looking for food when Johnny Mañanas popped up. Beach walk hunger is real, so we rolled the dice and went for it. Solid decision.
She ordered the cheesy carne asada taco and a regular carne asada taco and crushed both. I went with the two fish tacos and a side of guacamole and chips. The tacos didn’t stand a chance. The fish tacos were really good and the guac disappeared faster than planned.
Now, honest moment. The horchata wasn’t as sweet as we like. We’re Mexican. Sweet is kind of our thing. It wasn’t bad, just not “abuelita-approved” sweet. But here’s the kicker. The customer service completely saved the day.
The guy who took our order and brought out the food was top notch. Super friendly, wiped down a table for us without us asking, and just genuinely on point. If it wasn’t for this guy, my night might’ve gone sideways, but instead he earned this place five stars by himself.
Great food, awesome service, chill Ocean Beach vibes, and a happy dog. That’s a win. Thanks, guys. I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious Quesabirria! Good amount of meat. Could have been more cheese but isn’t that always the case. Gluten free. Nice staff. Would for sure come again.

I’ve been coming here on/off for at least 20 years and never been disappointed. I love the casual and colorful atmosphere, good vibes, and absolutely delicious Mexican food. Bathroom available for customers. Surprisingly nice alcoholic drink selection. I ordered a basic carne taco and margarita. It’s a great spot when you want to have the good vibes/food/drinks without the expense!

Tacos and drinks are absolutely fantastic. Paul made the best margaritas as well. I had the beer battered fish and the surf and turf tacos both of which were excellent. Hibiscus margarita and the regular margarita gave me a great buzz and tasted great.

I go every time I’m in San Diego. A habit to take my dog to dog beach (2 blocks away) turn go grab a bite and enjoy some people watching. Known for their amazing fish tacos- DON’T SLEEP on the shrimp tacos. They melt cheese right into the tortilla. Cheat code active. Staff is super friendly.

I ordered a fatty carnitas burrito and customized/added a bunch to it and it was absolutely delicious. The shredded carnitas meat is so well seasoned and juicy and tender. You know sometimes with carnitas you get some dried pieces, but not in my burrito here, here every single bite was perfectly moist and delicious and one of the best I have had. Don’t sleep on this place, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, outdoor seating if you bring your pup, and all the sauces at the sauce bar were excellent. Thank you. Will definitely be back!

$2.50 Taco Tuesdays – enough said. Then, if you go during happy hour, any beer on tap is only $3!
Definitely a cool vibe sitting on the sidewalk looking down towards the OB pier

So good! I stopped by today for the first time. The service was friendly and welcoming; the crispy fish taco was better than advertised—such a deal for only $3.50! I can’t wait to go back.
Just stopped by again. Those fish tacos were calling my name:) I can’t wait to try all their other great food.
