Loved it so much we went back the very next day!
Super clean and comfortable.
Easy to understand menu.
Each meal full of flavor, texture and color.
The fish tacos were a different fish on each day. Both amazing.
The clam chowder is full of clams.
We took an order of seafood soup back to the hotel for dinner.
The fish plates were huge!

Came on a Friday afternoon for lunch.

Water is self serve (choice of lemon or cucumber water). Cashier was helpful and knowledgeable of the menu items.

Ordered a snapper sandwich. Fish was delicate and fresh caught (not confirmed if they’re fresh caught from the same morning). Sandwich itself is flavorful, the onions and tomatoes pair with the fish very well.

It’s packed, there’s always seating (indoor and outdoor). Good ambient background chatter noises, able to chit chat with people.

Ate at El Pescador Fish Market and Restaurant while visiting the area and overall really enjoyed the food.

Ordered a few things. The halibut was very fresh with a nice charred grilled flavor and overall very tasty. Probably the best halibut we have had, though I still think I personally prefer swordfish. The veggies on the plate were refreshing.

I had the swordfish sandwich for $20.95 and it was excellent. I’ve always liked swordfish but this was next level. Charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and a great option if you do not like a strong fish flavor.

We also tried the 8oz chowder for $5.95. It was good, but I prefer the New England style more.

My son had the salmon kids meal for $15.95. It came with rice and beans and he finished it in minutes. I tried a bit myself and honestly could eat this salmon everyday.

You order at the front and the food is brought out to you. There is no real table service. It was pretty packed during late lunch. There is a very small parking lot in the back, maybe four or five cars, and otherwise there’s street parking available.

It did feel a bit pricey but the food was fresh and delicious. I really loved the fish here and would definitely come back to try these flavors again. You can also buy fresh fish to take home, and it all looked great. The ambiance inside was nice. 4.5 rounded down.

El Pescador Fish Market is absolutely exceptional. The service is great, and the quality of the food is outstanding.

I’ve never been much of a fish person, but this place completely converted me. The seafood is unbelievably fresh and incredibly delicious—everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

I’m still talking about it days later. If you’re in San Diego, this is a must-stop spot for seafood lovers (and future seafood lovers).

This place is awesome! The seafood is truly the star of the show in every dish you order. Super fresh (truly from the case) with a bunch of local fish options. The sandwiches are amazing- highly recommend getting them borrego style with avocado added. The watermelon lemonade can’t be missed and the fish tacos are huge and delicious!

Such a fresh, vibrant spot! You can see the quality right in the seafood display. The salmon dishes were perfectly cooked , my kiddo loved theirs. My octopus was just a touch chewy, but the flavors were bright and real. It’s counter service, casual, and not pet-friendly, but fair prices and great freshness. Loved the vibe!

Thanks Sean and the staff for many great meals.

This place is the best. My favorite item is the swordfish, always a treat. So so fresh, and it’s amazing in a sandwich. (tip: always say yes to Avo)

Don’t sleep on their clam chowder either, it’s the best I’ve ever had outside of the east coast.
And the salads are on point too, can’t go wrong really with the protein choice. Fish, shrimp, octopus, scallops all are super delicious.

This has been a go-to spot in my family for about 20 years and I just can’t get enough!

We love this place so much we got a rental car to make sure we could make it out here to enjoy they’re food! Everything we’ve ever had has been delicious! I got the Cioppino and oysters. Looking forward to our next visit when we come back to the San Diego area.

Stopped in for a late lunch and this place was bustling. El Pescador is a fish market with a restaurant attached and plenty of seating.

I got a salad with fresh halibut, avocado and vinaigrette. The food was good—4/5. The halibut could use more seasoning, but overall it’s simple, no-frills healthy food. The wait staff was very nice too.

Worth a visit if you want fresh seafood without any fuss.
