Dos Pescados is a coastal gem with incredible food and beautiful ocean views. The food ordered was flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the margaritas are a must-try. The vibe is relaxed yet stylish, making it ideal for a sunset dinner or casual lunch by the sea. Great service, bold flavors, and a view that elevates the whole experience. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you want excellent food, service and views.

All of the food we had was good and the outdoor seating was nice for our sunny day. The ambience and location is more what the restaurant has going for it.

First things first. Serious upgrade over Palapas. IMHO Palapas only existed as a place where you could grab a beer and palatable but boring food after a little league game with a view, while the kids ran around and left the parents Ali e for a little while.
Overall quite impressed with the food. The salsa was quite good, as were the chips.
I would give the snapper ceviche with mango and aji amarillo a 5/5 both for taste and presentation. The arugula salad was just ok; loses points for (strongly suspect but can’t be certain) canned beets, and being quite salty (might be the nuts). I would recommend they switch to house made roasted beets and maybe Pepitas.
We also had the Birria tacos, and the seafood (not Baja-style) fish tacos al pastor. Both also very good. My only quibble is that the fish tacos utilize a medley of their fish – which means there was salmon in there, and unless it’s sashimi or sushi I’m not a salmon fan. The al pastor preparation was a fun twist.
I quite liked their version of a Paloma – utilized pamplemousse and tonic in addition to the grapefruit lime and tequila – very refreshing.
Lastly, props for making a pumpkin dessert (pumpkin flan) that I didn’t hate! The toasted Italian meringue was an excellent touch.
Looking forward to eating here again – something I’d never say about the former establishment.
6/2025 Happy to say that the food has only gotten better. The Ahi aguachile with strawberries and Serrano peppers was fantastic and looked as good as it tasted. Service and waitstaff continue to be amongst the friendliest in town.

This was our first visit since the restaurant changed over from one which had been there for decades. We think the current one is definitely an improvement. The service was great, prompt and friendly.
I had Carne Asada. The meat was tender and medium rare. The garnishes of radish, cilantro, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and pickled red onion nicely complemented the plate. The large roasted jalapeño was a nice touch. The rice and beans were good, and everything was tied together nicely with fresh flour tortillas.
My wife enjoyed the chicken enchiladas. Fresh tomatoes and guacamole complemented the rice and beans on the side. I had a taste and it was delicious.
A couple of margaritas rounded out a great lunch.

Truly incredible food. We knew the food was going to be good because the chips and salsa came and it was fantastic. Chips were lightly crunchy and fluffy. Salsa was very tasty and very well made very fresh.
The slaw was fantastic! Super fresh & super good. The pozole really was a fantastic dish lots of flavor. Pozole really hit the spot. The rockfish plate also was just so good and amazing. Very well-made, lightly cooked and fluffy flaky fish.
This is the kind of restaurant that we need in Santa Cruz! thank you for being so amazing.

Situated upstairs, you can see views of the pacific. They have happy hour discounts (about $2-3 off for most items on the reg menu), 3-5pm, even on the Sunday I visited.
There were pictures of ceviche on Google, but those were from a previous menu and not available anymore. Food was good, bartender friendly, very leisurely pace, not a place for a quick bite to eat.

We started with roasted shishitos, fabulous. Also had the salmon belly, which was full of other goodies and was rich and delicious. Tuna tostada was next. The quality of tuna is very high. A dozen oysters with spicy mignonette went down smooth. Entrees included vegan enchiladas (mole was amazing), fish tacos (large portion, cooked perfectly), and pan roasted salmon (also cooked and seasoned perfectly). 3 different cocktails were all balanced and delicious. The service here is highly attentive without being intrusive. This is a MUST VISIT RESTAURANT!!
