This place came recommended when we were up at Del Mar Heights. Had the Big Baja Bucket & worth every dollar. Will definitely come back when in town next time.

I love this place! It's tucked in a quiet area and truly is rocking inside. Live music , salsa bar , great food, and cute pic souvenirs available for purchase. When I'm in San Diego again, I'll be back!

Loretta Arenas

Good food, amazing service, and great ambiance! I had one of the bowls and it was more than enough food ant a reasonable price. Also, their chips are so delicious! Sounds weird but, just trust me. ☺️

Bob Eagleson

Our favorite restaurant in Old Town , and not only is the food delish (and large portions ), but their blended mango margaritas are the BEST in the state !!!

Jonathan Hoster

They’re known for the buckets, and the buckets are awesome!! Delicious seafood , chicken adobo and carne asada ! The salsa bar is amazing, too!

CHL60 CASA DE LOPEZ - Built ~1835 by Juan Francisco Lopez, one of SD's early Spanish settlers, the Casa Larga was among 1st substantial houses built in the Pueblo of San Diego.

Bob Eagleson

Could only do take out , but they rise to the occasion. As always, delish food and margaritas ...also bought a $70 gift card with a $30 bonus!!! Gotta support our establishments!!!

The Baja bucket is A LOT of yumminess - you will have leftovers :). Enjoy the salsa bar , a margarita and save room for dessert !

Miguel Chabolla

Get the Golden Sombrero Bucket! Try The Lobster Bites appetizer it's amazing! The Spot!

Al Youdan

The self serve salsa bar to go along with your drinks is where its at. Dinner for two is expensive , but the presentation is festive and overwhelming.

Donny Soito

The Cortez bucket is incredible! Love bringing family down here to enjoy Old Town San Diego and some great food.

Henry Carrillo

Great times with family and friends.

Denise Douthit

The shrimp and lobster bucket was "the bomb" and the service was superb! The best service I have had in a longgg time!! Wtf rockin baja lobster !

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

Besides the Baja Buckets the Lobster Lovers Combo and the Taco Supreme Salad is really good.

Katja Haack

Great margarita pitcher for 28$ and you get a free nacho & salsa buffet

Lyndsi Winer

Isn't my fav food but, their Baja Bomber with Blue Moon beer is off the hook. They also have a decent salsa bar for free!

Destiny Leshay

The bacon bolts are amazing. Also the piña coladas are nice.

Ashley Ferguson

Fantastic food and there is actual meat in the lobster and crab . Worth your money. And of you're here with a pal or loved one, get the Golden Sombrero . But be warned, it's a LOT of food for 2 people.

Jacqueline Hartman

If you time it right, you can get Taco Tuesday prices & deals offered during late night happy hour !

Samantha Miller

Great margaritas and awesome salsa bar but in my large group they wouldn't split the ticket so we spend 20-30 min figuring out who owed what!

tunabicycle

Get either the baja or the lobster and shrimp bucket. Awesome and worth the money!

Pablo Martinez

Best surf and turf in San Diego. If not the World. Little pricey but well worth it.

Doug Caldwell

Get the Cabo Skinny Rita margarita & enjoy the band on Fri night, see photo. Serve yourself chips & salsa , experiment with sauces.

ᴡ Evans

Bottomless salsa bar is key for sitting at the bar

Kevin P.

Setting was cool, service was very slow. We had to find our server for everything. Everyone else seemed to be getting served. Total air head..

Buckets are always a good choice.
