The Baja Bucket for Two was scrumptious! From the corn chowder to the fried ice cream. The grilled steak and chicken was juicy and the broiled (or Mexican fried) shrimp and lobster tails were seasoned with a delicious whisper of Mexican spice. A bonus was the hospitality of the staff. We were killing time until our red eye flight to go home back east. Their comfortable booths were exactly what we needed after a long day at the zoo. If you’re local you’re lucky to be able to visit this establishment whether you want.

We visited Rockin’ Baja Lobster during Comic-Con weekend, so we expected it to be busy but unfortunately, the service was disappointing overall.
Shoutout to Diana, who was a great server! She was attentive, helped us correct an issue with our order, and really tried to make our experience better. We appreciated her effort.
However, another server (the blonde one) who previously took our order, was not as friendly. She gave my friend a bad look when he politely followed up on his food, and when I asked her for a sauce, she said “yeah” but never came back with it. On top of that, my friend never received the extra chips he ordered, even after asking about them.
The service felt very slow and disorganized. We understand it was a busy weekend, but it seemed like we were forgotten for long stretches of time. While others got priority.
That said, the food was really good. Great flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions it definitely lived up to the hype in that department. If the service matched the quality of the food, this would have been a five-star experience.

We came in and were seated right away. The bartender took great care of us. The food came out quick and cooked perfectly.

It is tough to get this place anything more than two stars.
Starting off with the atmosphere, this restaurant is in need of a face lift. Furniture is old. Tables are sticky and some peeling.
Then comes the service. Our waitress was not knowledgeable on any of the dishes. When we asked what some of the dishes were, she told us that she had absolutely no idea. Additionally, we gave her our order and it looked like she was clicking stuff on her tablet, but then, after giving our order, she asked us to repeat the whole thing again because she had not done any of it. Also, we were checked on only one time during our whole meal.
Lastly, the food. It left quite a lot to be desired and was mostly disappointing.
The fried lobster taco was tasteless and the “lobster” was old and just tasted burnt. To be honest, I don’t believe there was actually any lobster in it.
The chicken chingaderas were tasteless. Fried tortilla eggrolls sounds good, but they miss the flavor and texture completely.
The calamari was fine but the pieces were so rubbery that it felt like it wasn’t fresh.
The rice and beans were decent.
I will give them credit that their shrimp bucket is actually pretty good. While it is quite overpriced, the actual shrimp were very flavorful.
Overall, I would definitely not come here again since the food is not worth the price or the effort.

The wife and I love this restaurant chain, but this is their newest location, and the servers are subpar, and the food is not on par with their other locations. Luke the bartender, who helped us, was actually stellar; the rest were in some sort of daze, leaving 30 minutes between main courses for my guests. In other words, the main course would come for one person, then 30 minutes later for the next person. The place wasn’t empty, but there were only a few of us in there. The steak was like a shoe, the chicken was dry, in the $80 bucket they messed up the corn; it was supposed to be Mexican style, not just grilled. The lobster was super fishy, but maybe it was an off day for them? The other locations are incredible; this one just needs some attention from management to get it on par with the others. Kudos to Luke though, he’s great.

I got the Shellfish Taco Platter (one of each – shrimp, blue crab, and lobster) and a Cadillac Margarita. Really enjoyed each taco but the lobster was my favorite! I also shared photos of menu items I wanted to try like the Cali Surf & Turf Burrito and just check out the biiiiiig burrito and the 6XXL tacos!!!! Great food, service, and got to watch the Dodgers vs Padres. No complaints! Would definitely visit again next time I am in the area. Our waiter on June 16, Scotty, was so kind and patient as well

We ordered the Baja bucket which came with two lobster tails crab shrimp chicken carne asada and corn on the cob. It also came with tortillas and rice and beans. LOTS OF FOOD!! It was all amazing however The crab was lacking some serious meat and maybe overcooked. (Maybe it’s not crab season?) This meal also comes with fried ice cream. We ordered a beer and a spicy skinny margarita both were delicious. The service was on top of their game lots of TVs for sports and a full wet bar with numerous beers on tap. They also have a full margarita menu. I would definitely come back and give it a try again. Total for two including tip was $150.00

Fun and happy atmosphere! We stopped here for a meal and to watch some football. Sat at the bar, drinks and food were delicious. Service was okay but they were busy, so that could also be the reason. Great for friends or families!

We got the Baja Bucket on the suggestion of the lovely waitress who assured us it would be enough for three people… but we couldn’t finish it the portion was huge. The carne asada fries was also delicious.

Huge portions here! Delicious food and super strong margaritas. The staff was friendly and the service was good. It’s right downtown in the gas lamp district so if you want to go to other bars after, it’s very easy to do that from here. The self service tortilla chips and salsa was weird but fine. Great tacos and guacamole!
