First saw Kaluu on instagram as a new Baja inspired restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised at the modern decor/ambiance as it would serve as a great date night spot. The food was Baja inspired and had great flavor that you would expect across the border. Our server Carmen was attentive and patient answering all of our questions, would request her again! Glad she told us this place will become a nightclub starting January, we will be back!

We got the rockfish tostadas and tacos. The octopus taco is very good with tender octopus cooked to perfection.
The rockfish tostadas were great with a spicy sauce similar to the “Lao gan ma” sauce.
We also had great service from our server when we wanted accommodations in switching up beans for salads and lactose-free desserts. The ambience of the restaurant was cool.

Portions were small. The service was slow. This is not a fine dine restaurant. Atmosphere was more of a sports bar. Drinks were ok. 150$$ for all.
Don’t waste your money.

Had an amazing dining experience at Kaaluu! The ambiance was sexy and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch; attentive without being overbearing. I was referred by Nicole Dineolgy, and I’m so glad I took her recommendation — she truly knows the best spots! I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me next time.

Pleasant little surprise. We were in town for a conference and decided to stop in after a friendly conversation with the doorman. He recommended the tuna aguachile and wagyu burger. Both were amazing. Service was friendly and excellent. Would definitely come back the next time I’m in town. Definitely recommend.

We were in downtown San Diego yesterday for a bachelor party with 19 of us, and the night completely changed thanks to the guy outside. A tall, tattooed gentleman approached us, super friendly, confident, and genuinely engaging. We were actually headed to another spot, but he had such good energy and made us feel so welcome that he convinced us to give his bar a shot. Best decision we made all night.
He personally hooked us up with champagne bottles and great drink deals (we ended up spending a lot of money there), you could tell he was single handedly packing the place with his hustle. I’d been to this bar a few months back and it was pretty dead, but last night it was buzzing, clearly because of him.
Huge shoutout to him for making the night unforgettable, and props to the bearded bartender and the blonde bartender as well, they kept the vibe going strong. Thanks for an epic night!
We will also be back to try his favourite dishes there, aguachile and wagyu burger.
