We stopped at this patio bar for some beers and tacos when in SD last month. Besides the food and drinks being amazing- our server, CJ- was the best!! This is a great spot to people watch and enjoy the Gaslamp district in SD!!

Lunch was a pleasant surprise. We ordered a bucket of beers(5 beers for $25) to start the lunch and relax from walking around town. We sat outside, hostess said that there was a free nachos and sauce bar inside. Good selection of sauces for the nachos. We both ordered fish nachos done in two different styles(baked and fried). Both were... More

Fabulous nachos, tasty margaritas, great salsa and chips bar was free. Specializes in lobster, shrimp and crab legs come by the bucket. Highly recommend this Old Town eatery.

Great view setting. Liked the chip and sauces bar. The waiter could have been more inattentive. Never asked how the food was, did ask how to write up the bill. Would go back but not to order the lobster burrito, oh did I mention it was "lobster"... Overall a fun place with family and friends.

Went down for a Padre's weekend and stopped by the Baja. Ashley was our server, outstanding. Introduced us to the Bloody Mary Bar, what a treat. Had a great time just relaxing and people watching. Really good food as always and service outstanding.

Looks like a great place to hang out all the time, but I competely enjoyed the happy a couple times during my San Diego visit. Was at a hotel in Old Town, so it was an easy walk. If you can, make sure you get one of the baskets, the rock lobster and shrimp are some of the best I've... More

While visiting Old Town we had lunch here and found the service to be quite good. The food was just ok. Tequila Lime Shrimp appetizer was great but the "Lobster Lovers" plate was everything Mexican except the lobster. Good flavor, if I could have actually spotted any lobster I would have been happy. There is a large noisy man-made waterfall... More

My family LOVES this place! My husband & I started going here 14 yrs ago. Now our family comes back almost every year, and we always come & eat here. You have to get a bucket! This last time I got the "Sea of Cortez" bucket (Crab, Lobster & shrimp). And my kids got the Shrimp Bucket. Amazing seasoning, and... More

This is a great restaurant for a big party! They have the coolest atmosphere, the most special seafood buckets that are to-die-for and they offer happy hour drink specials..who could ask for anything more! Maybe, self-serve chips/salsa?? YES!

I've been there twice and probably won't go there again... First time we went there, the service was nice and attentive. They have a nice salsa bar, which is mostly spicy, but what i don't understand is why they make their nachos spicy as well?! It was just too much!!! I had a lobster lover's plate which was ok, but...
