Had reservations at another place on the water, but they only had valet parking and we don’t let anyone else drive our car, so we cancelled our reservation and drove around looking for another place to eat. Tried another place, but parking was terrible. We just happened to go up the hill from the parking lot and parked and saw Solana Beach Fish House. We got out of the car and it smelled so good we decided to go in and try it. Sure glad we did! It wasn’t crowded when we went in and sat right down. It’s wheelchair accessible. Service was very good. The food was excellent. Our kind of place. Good food, good service and small and simple. Hubby and I enjoyed it very much.

Last day in San Diego and we wanted to go to Solana Beach Fish House again. It’s a gem! I got the shrimp and chips. Huge shrimp fried to perfection. The steak fries were just how I like my fries. Hubby ordered the salmon sandwich. Everything was yummy.

Decent spot for some fish. Service was a bit slow but there was only 1 guy working. Also only one bathroom. Tacos were good, chips and salsa/guac were only ok. Probably could use a bit more salt. Something about the guac felt off. I’m not sure I would go back but maybe we didn’t order the right thing. Also not much seating on the patio as it’s in a strip mall.

I was craving some delicious but light food and their 2 fish taco plate hit the spot. The fish was light and you could tell the batter and oil they use is fresh! The plate came with rice, beans, a lemon and some hot sauce. The tacos were light and crispy and filling!

My waitress, Olivia, was friendly and patient and the service was quick. I left feeling full but not bloated, which was surprising for how fast I devoured these tacos! Will definitely be coming back! See picture for gorgeous 2 taco plate

I have been going here for years. I remember the old man and his daughter. Always kind, always wonderful food, always fresh.In my opinion.The best in town. Sometime, I would drive out of my way just to come and eat here… My favorite is the calamari strips and honestly the best french fries. Cook to perfection.

Yummm, a great lunch here and menu surprises. Reasonable prices and interesting atmosphere. Ample indoor seating and a few outside tables, parking nearby. We will eat here again when in town.

I’m not sure how this place has high-star reviews. Makes me wonder if the reviews are artificial or incentivised, but who knows nowadays? Anyway, the food is totally blah. Nothing special at all. Definitely not 5 stars. Not even 4 stars. 3 stars at best. It wasn’t sickening or anything, but just not very good.

I’m a local and was curious about this place. I saw the high reviews and was excited to try it, but then I was super disappointed so I wanted to share my experience. I love seafood, and if you do too, I would consider avoiding this place.

Fish was overcooked and overfried in all 4 tacos that my table got. We got beer battered fish and grilled fish. The battered fish consisted of tiny pieces of fish drowning in batter. Seemed like 80% fried batter and 20%fish. The batter was super thick and overwhelming and I was looking for the fish inside. The grilled fish was overdone and rubbery.

On a positive note, the shrimp was done very nicely. The kitchen staff knows how to flavor and grill shrimp. Succulent and flavorful. Not overdone. But as for the tacos, pasta, and salad, totally blah. Pasta lacked flavor. The Ceasar salad was bland and generic.. the dressing tasted bottled.

The staff was nice, but they were definitely understaffed and I felt sad for the two people running the front. But they were very nice, professional and hardworking. At one point, there was only one man serving and bussing while a woman who seemed like the owner (she was helping herself tea in the back, so I assume she was the owner) was just sitting there at a table, watching everything, and not offering to help her team. The server seemed stressed, but I would have been stressed in his position too. There just wasn’t enough staff, which definitely may have affected the quality perhaps. God bless the workers. The owner should consider hiring additional staff and investing more in quality control and taste testing.

It”s not very wheelchair accessible. We had an elderly+disabled person with us. I had to move tables and chairs to allow her walker to fit through the tables. The only ramp we could find was 3 or 4 stores down. So if you have a disabled person with you, plan accordingly.

Keep in mind, this was based off of only one experience. It was the first and last time I would go there. Maybe it was an off day? Either way, i’m not willing to go there and spend my money to find out if it can be better. Incredibly expensive for blah food. For 3 people it was over $100 before the tip.

Came in for a weekday lunch with friends. The waitress was very nice and kept checking up on us throughout the meal.

I ordered the scallops burger on their lunch menu and the rest ordered off the regular menu. I thought my $14 burger was good but nothing special really. This place has a lot of good reviews though.

This place was an amazing find on our vacation! I had the Cajun fish tacos, they were delicious! We had guacamole and chips appetizer also very good. Others with me had teriyaki kabobs, salmon, and fish and chips, everyone enjoyed their dinner very much! Fish was fresh and tasty. Service was excellent, very attentive. We were there on a weekday evening so it was not too busy. We will be back!
