The 11 best places for paella in San Diego

The Corvette Diner is definitely a fun place to visit, especially for families. The atmosphere is impressive and really well done – vibrant, nostalgic, and full of character. There are several themed rooms and even a large arcade area for kids, which makes it a great spot for a casual outing. The staff is friendly, though not particularly attentive. You might need to flag someone down if you need anything. As for the food, it’s just average – nothing bad, but also nothing to get excited about. All in all, it’s a Great place for the experience and the decor, but don’t go in expecting standout food or top-tier service.

We went there to celebrate our 1 year old baby first birthday. It was a long wait, I wish they asked us where we wanted to be seated because I wanted to be in the dark room with fluorescent lights. We didn't get little hats, I asked for them; the balloon guy passed us, he basically ignored us and my baby had a sticker that it was his birthday, I really did not like that. My burger did not have any seasoning (literally none, I suppose they forgot), my husband's did and my baby's spaghetti had way too many spices. Our milkshakes were fine, I dislike the big paper straws though. Manager was very friendly and our waitress Wanda wasn't as attentive as I would've liked but she did bring a little sundae and sang "Happy Birthday" to our child and I did appreciate it. I would unfortunately not be back.

Really cool 50's atmosphere. Corvette part of the atmosphere. Great service. Food good. I had the California Dream which was a great chicken sandwich with guacamole, green chilis; lettuce; tomato and onion. My daughter had the blast sandwich and her boyfriend had the DeeDee Burger with a root beer shake. The blast was bacon lettuce avocado Swiss cheese and turkey. I am originally from San Diego and this restaurant use to be in Central San Diego. This new location has more parking but I miss the coziness of the old location .We came to San Diego for a couple days to visit family and eat at some favorite restaurants.

We had a couple of burger. Both were good. All of the food is diner inspired food with a little extra twist. We weren’t able to get a dessert because we were full but I would go back so maybe next time. We arrived before 5 and it was pretty calm but by 5:30 it was getting busy and loud. Not someplace to have a quiet meal. More of a place to have fun and you definitely don’t have to worry about keeping your kids quiet. The arcade area looked like it should keep everybody occupied while waiting for food. Good place to take a large group as well. I saw some people getting seated with 10 or more.

What's not to love? Monty our server was fantastic and funny. He was great with my hungry family by making us all laugh. In the arcade, Chris was awesome! He was so cool with the littles, showing patience and happiness to all the kids. This place was tons of fun, and comes highly recommended.

Food was ok. Nothing special. Service was a little slow because it was so busy. But the music was soooooo loud. So loud that you couldn't erally have a conversation. It was a fun place though. Oh. They will add 5% on all checks to help offset rising costs. They also add 20% on checks for party of 6 or more. By the way, they take pictures for you but you do have to pay for it at the end of your meal. This place is all about making money for themselves.

A Taste of Nostalgia a.... Classic "Diner concept good for all ages. Nostalgic, vibrant & definitely fun. The menu delivers exactly what you expect: solid, reliable diner food. While the thick milkshakes looked absolutely divine & terribly tempting we all passed The base prices are decent, making it an affordable casual spot. However, diners should be aware of a few items on the final bill. Our large group (four adults, a baby, and a toddler) triggered an automatic 20% gratuity. Separately, there is also an optional 5% supplemental charge added to the bill, which you can ask to have removed if you note it with your server. Be sure to factor both into your budget for larger parties.Finally, a note on the ambiance: while the vibe is great, the music is quite loud (at times). If you are dining with anyone who processes sensory information differently, be mindful that the noise level could be overwhelming. It's a lively atmosphere, but the volume is something to consider before visiting.

When I was planning our quick trip to San Diego I just knew we had to check out Liberty Public Market and I am so glad we did! It was very cool and interesting. There were tons of options for food and drinks and lots of adorable little shops. Located right near the water with a walking path so you can enjoy the sunset after everyone chooses basically anything they could possibly want in just one location! It was really colorful, casual with tons of authentic and unique options for food and drinks. A must go spot in San Diego!!!

This place is awesome! So much variety and everything we have tried has been awesome. Such a cool spot to hang out and grab a bite to eat. We will definitely to continue to come back every time we vacation this way.

If you haven't visited this place in San Diego yet, you must find time to come and have a look. Liberty Station is a comprehensive area that combines history, culture and modern vitality. It was formerly the Naval Training Center San Diego established in the 1920s and was transformed into a cultural landmark integrating art, dining, shopping and leisure in the 2000s. It's like a huge open-air mall and also has a large grassy park. It's a great choice to have a picnic, relax, take photos, play with kids or go on a date here! There are over 20 local food vendors in San Diego. Food recommendations: Wicked Maine Lobster's fresh lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese. Stuffed is a former food truck brand famous for its spicy Mac n' Cheese burger. Bottle Craft offers 24 local craft beers, echoing San Diego's title as the "Craft Beer Capital". Venissimo Cheese is also here. Besides food, there are flower shops, handicraft stores, and fresh produce stands. Visitors are allowed to bring their own alcohol and enjoy it freely indoors and outdoors. The outdoor dining area is decorated with small light bulbs and there are live music performances every Sunday.

What a great location to try a variety of different food options and drinks. They truly have something for everyone here and was a treat to find and explore. I would recommend bringing your appetite because if you are like me you’ll want to try a little of everything. We visited on a weekday around lunchtime and it wasn’t overly crowded. There was plenty of parking available on the street and in surrounding parking lots. Just be mindful of signage so you don’t end up parking somewhere you shouldn’t and be patient with the traffic flow in and out of the area.

🏫Liberty Public Market is a really special area. I read that it was used by the military many years ago. It is a beautiful building with over 3 dozen restaurants or shops. ⌚Open daily from 11am-7pm 🚘🌳🌳When you first drive onto the grounds, you feel like you are headed to a hidden resort. 🅿️You just keep following the little streets to the parking areas. Make sure that you read the signs for parking. There are MANY little restaurants and stores nestled into the main building and it can get REALLY BUSY during weekends and peak hours. ⌛Parking is free, but there are some parking areas that limit you to an hour to run in and get something to-go or pick-up and order. 👉There is also a larger parking area around the main building where you can park for as long as you would like to explore the grounds without the fear of a citation or possibly getting towed. 😃You could walk around for over an hour just deciding where you want to eat. There are sweets, coffees, foods, and wines from around the world, and local craft beer makers. We didn't have any young children with us, but it seemed family friendly. 🚸 😊Lots of benches and tables to sit outside and around the main building to enjoy a snack, beverage, or an ice cream.🧁🥤🍦 We enjoyed our visit to this area. ⚠️WARNING: If you have children that frighten easily with loud noises or you are planning a romantic evening where you want to whisper sweet-nothings to your date, let me warn you, VERY LOUD PLANES fly overhead continuously.✈️😱✈️😂🤣

Liberty Public Market is a nice place to stop by if you're looking for a bite in San Diego. There's a wide variety of food vendors, and many of them offer really delicious options. One spot I highly recommend is Bao Bar, flavorful baos with a generous portion size that really hit the spot! The overall vibe is fun and welcoming, with lots of good people around. Bonus points for free parking, which makes it even more convenient. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Lots of groomed manicured outdoor space, indoor/outdoor dining and everything you can think of to explore from bars, restaurants, shops, quick eats, path by the water, great for running or skating, dog walking. Also well lit and safe at night (check the pumpkin patch, seasonally, at night).

Solare is a great looking restaurant on the inside and it had an extensive menu. We were greeted nicely and had a great server, friendly and helpful. Great wine advice. The bass was excellent, fresh and most, nice sauce. The fetticcini...ok...I think it might have been... something... excellent, fresh pasta, but something off with the shrimp... very good caesar's salad. We will give it another go!

My partner and I visited this restaurant a few weekends ago and had an amazing time. The fettuccini and pistachio crème brûlée were both incredible. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were out of this world. Our waitress was incredibly polite and friendly, and we had a wonderful conversation with our lovely waitress & the Restaurant owner himself! We are excited to come back to try the wine experience!

I recently visited this Italian restaurant located in Liberty Station, and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere felt cozy yet stylish, and it was a great spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner. One of the highlights here is definitely the wine selection. They offer a wide range of options, and it felt like the kind of place where you could spend extra time pairing your meal with the perfect glass. For food, I ordered the scallops risotto, which turned out to be really delicious. The scallops were large, fresh, and cooked just right, which added so much flavor and texture to the creamy risotto. I am usually not a fan of truffle, and the dish did include a touch of it, but aside from that detail, I truly enjoyed the flavors and would recommend it. I also tried the squash soup, which was smooth, flavorful, and comforting without being too heavy. For dessert, I went with a peach option, and it was a refreshing way to finish the meal. Sweet but light, it didn’t overwhelm after a rich dinner. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice in Liberty Station, especially if you appreciate good wine and Italian dishes.

I came here with a group of friends last minute and it was a fantastic decision. The place is the perfect mix of great food, atmosphere, and service. Additionally, the parking here is so convenient and easy. We had a great time and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone.

I had the Risotto Tartufo e Capesante, and wow—it was absolutely incredible. Hands down the best meal I’ve had in San Diego. My husband and I went for lunch and were seated right away with no wait. The hostess and our server were both amazing—so welcoming and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxed yet elevated, and we loved every minute of it. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

My girlfriend and I booked the “chef’s table” experience which seats you in your own personal spot looking at the kitchen as they make the food with a preset six course menu. Everything about the experience was incredible! Each course was delicious, the service was top notch and it was so nice to meet the head chef, Denise. The owner, Randy and his son, Tommy, came over and said hello which was very nice as well. We had such a great experience last night and would recommended this restaurant to anyone! We will definitely be back.

Impeccable and vegetarian friendly. I feel lucky to have stumbled onto this place. Everything was perfect down to the rosemary infused bread. Delicious. They also have a very wide selection of wine by the glass and bottle. In fact their interior walls and wine room are lined with boutique bottles.

Wow the beef is perfectly marinated and paired with the shrug sauce absolutely delicious! I really loved how helpful Ruth and hector were and the overall hospitality. You can also tell just how fresh the food is!

Great food in Liberty Station. This place was great Mediterranean food. Hector the manager (I think that was his name) was great. Try it out.

First time here. I am so happy to discover this gem. This place is amazing!! Food is fantastic, staff are so polite and respectful and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I will definitely come again when I am in the area.

Apple Walnut Salad w/ chicken was delicious! Gets busy at this location, but service doesn’t take long at all. Clean, light atmosphere w/ tasty, healthy food. Sebastian was a great associate who took my order, delivered my food to me outside, & personally checked in at the end of my meal if I needed any to go boxes. Great attention to detail on Sebastian’s part & very kind. *Photo of meal was taken after I had devoured most of it already. Normally a large portioned salad.

This is a sandwich shop. You order at counter and they bring food to table. On evening we went the ice machine was broken. Some of the booths have tears and damage in seats. Food was ok.

This is our go to Luna Grill location and it’s always great. Sebas and Hector are awesome! Love the gyro fries and grilled chicken plate with the Greek salad!

Where to start I would say apart from the really good food , Gerardo is a great team member offering me variety of plates and getting the plate of food to my table super fast , he should be manager of this location as with out him I think the place wouldn’t have the same experience thank you Gerardo and your team for always making my lunch time a great one cheers

Yum! I loved the BEEF and the MUSHROOM Empanadas! The crust was delicious and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The sauces are wonderful too. The white one was my favorite. I cannot wait to try every empanada on the menu!

I came here two times in one evening because their empanadas are so fire! Things you should know: I. PARKING Within liberty station, so there's various, free parking lots surrounding the building. II. SERVICE Timely III. QUALITY I wish I had bought a jar of their signature sauce before I left San Diego because wow.. so much flavor! Our favorite Empanada was the Malbec Beef! Had to get more than one. IV. CAPACITY There wasn't much of a line the two times we came on a Sunday afternoon. Probably because they're so efficient.

Empanadas are a bit blonde and some of them are really skimpy on the filling. Got a shrimp one and it was half empty. The spicy beef was the best one I got. Chicken was a little dry.

Good casual spot to get a delicious empanada for a good price. It is juicy and very well baked. It is also very well seasoned, specially the Malbec beef and super recomend it. I ordered the combo of 3 and picked one chicken, one malbec beef and one spinach with feta. Chicken was the one I liked less. Good service, the attendent was kind and efficient. Don't miss the opportunity to get empanadas during your visit in market.

The worst empanadas in my whole life. I felt ashamed of sharing these empanadas with friends. The filling needed more flavor and it was too mushy. I'm from Argentina and we are very proud of our culture and our food. So I was excited to have a great time but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Delicious empanadas and a great spot for a quick bite! I tried the Malbec Beef empanada, which was flavorful on its own, but was really kicked up a notch by the chimichurri sauce. With over a dozen fillings and three sauces, there are endless possibilities! The food court itself can get very crowded, but there is lovely outdoor seating available.

These are such delicious empanadas! They were baked perfectly; not too dry. I tried the Beef and the Mushroom and they were both heavenly. There was so much flavor to them. I can’t wait to try every single other kind because they all sound so good! The price is great, and it is such a quick, easy meal because they’re already cooked and kept hot so there’s no wait time. I will be back very soon!

We stopped in for an early dinner and we loved the outdoor seating; the vibe was relaxing. We’re in Liberty Station every week and we hear planes passing through all the time; usually we don’t notice them, but when you are sitting for a meal and trying to have a conversation, those planes are damn loud. It didn’t ruin anything for us, but it may be unpleasant for unsuspecting diners. The service was fantastic. Our waiter was super friendly and a good conversationalist. He was also attentive and efficient. We ordered their fish and chips, wood fired flat top burger, kids chicken tenders and Parker house rolls. The rolls were airy, buttery and salty. It was a good start to our meal. The spicy remoulade for the fish was amazing, but the fish and the batter were bland. The burger was juicy and well cooked, but under seasoned. The fries however, were crispy and delicious. The chicken tenders were cooked well, but again, bland. For dessert, we ordered their roast your own s’mores. The dessert was a fun activity for the family. They were generous with the servings as well. For my drink, I ordered their chai vanilla old fashioned and let me tell you, it was the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. The whiskey was smooth and the chai vanilla rendered a slightly sweet after taste. Overall, the entrees left us disappointed, but the meal had positive highlights. We paid $193.16 with tip.

The Presley is located in Liberty Station which offers cozy outdoor ambiance. We have been coming here to have brunch after our annual pumpkin patch visit across the street. We never needed to have advanced reservations to eat here (other restaurants nearby require an hour or so of wait time) as this place is large and can sit a big group with minimal wait time. Restaurant has a limited menu and slightly on the pricey side. The Presley has a great outdoor patio/seating overlooking other shops and terraces in Liberty Station to have a small meal to chit chat with family/friends on a nice sunny day. They are also dog friendly and even brought out a bowl of water for our puppy. However, food at best is average and nothing stands out or above average. We were disappointed with the food quality and lack of skills to execute even a simple egg Benedict dish due to the butter heavy handed Hollandaise sauce and the egg whites were underdone and runny. Not sure how the kitchen staff could messed up a simple classic dish. The clam chowder soup came out lukewarm but did have a fair amount of clams. Coffee was lukewarm again and not hot. Our main entrees came out almost 30 minutes after the appetizers were served without any explanation or communication from the waitstaff. The seared Ahi tuna was not seared well and possibly not fresh as the person who ate the ahi tuna salad got stomachache in the evening. Overall, the location is convenient but the food is mediocre.

I chose to dine here for their variety of egg benedict options & left disappointed in our experience overall. We were greeted by a host who seemed overwhelmed (granted the restaurant was packed). She didn’t leave the best first impression but we moved forward and wanted to give this place a fair chance. I was excited for the bloody mary after looking at other reviews. It was tasty but missing the bacon (something their menu specifically states is included). We asked our server if she could bring it out & she kindly did which I appreciated! All 3 of us ordered the steak & eggs benedict. After waiting 45 mins for our food, I slice into my first egg to discover it wasn’t over-easy or even over-medium, but over-hard. I was shocked. Five of six eggs served to us were cooked over-hard, something that is unacceptable when paying $22+ per plate. The steak was tender & flavorful, but honestly, with no runny egg yolk, the benedict was a flop. Our server admitted that it was unacceptable & brought another egg out (in replacement for my hard boiled egg), which was cooked correctly. On the other hand, the potatoes were crispy & very tasty. I understand that when a restaurant is busy & the kitchen is behind, that meals can be delayed and service may be slow. I don’t find it acceptable to serve over cooked food. Additionally, the place seemed to be run by all young adults, who, quite frankly, could have better attitudes. We went from being excited to try this place, to laughing at how ridiculous our experience was by the end of our meal.

The food at Presley is just as classy as the atmosphere! The place is very tastefully decorated in a very relaxed and comfortable way, making for a very chill and easy experience. The hostess was super friendly and welcoming offering us several different seating options. We opted for a high top tucked back a bit in the shade. Our server was just as friendly and inviting, making us feel even more welcome. The food was amazing, absolutely amazing! We started with the lobster sliders which were delightful! Seriously, almost anything on Hawaiian rolls is delightful, they were no exception! I got the grilled turkey wrap and hubby got the seared ahi. Both meals were cooked perfect and presented very beautifully. The wrap of the sandwich was still warm from being grilled! The honey mustard sauce was perfectly subtle and the steak fries were hot and fresh. Hubby's tuna was seared to perfection and the tuna was melt in your mouth delicious! I know I used the word perfect a bit too much but when everything lines up between atmosphere, service, food and drinks there's no other word to use!! I highly recommend The Presley and will definitely be back!

Very nice spot in Liberty Station! I heard this place for a while and finally got a chance to try it out. The outdoor patio is very lovely and cozy. We are a group of people and we ordered different food items. They all look delicious. I ordered a classic egg Benedict which is very yummy, the poached egg is cooked beautifully. The hollandaise sauce tastes very nice, I enjoyed my dish a lot. We orders bottle mimosas and Bloody Mary, both are good. I will recommend here for sure.

Good food and good service. The one reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because they forgot part of my friend's meal order. However, they were really apologetic about it. Other than that this place is great! Their bathrooms are amazing and they have a meal option for almost everyone! And they have fantastic cocktails! Would definitely come here again. It's also right next to the markets at liberty station so it's an excellent location for a birthday/date plan.

Comfortable and cute outdoor seating and efficient service with pretty drinks and nice brunch menu. The avocado toast was alright but I'm a fan of the Coco Baja drink. Not 5 stars because I was standing at the host stand for a few minutes before being seated - and I had a reservation.

We visited on a late Saturday afternoon with a party of three. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and the food came out about 25 mins later. Customer service was good. Great location in a nice area to go for long walks.

Wednesday night. Dodgers Padres game night. Tons of TVs and tons of patrons. Was told a 45 minute wait, and checked several times as it got closer and closer to the 45 min mark. We checked at 45 and hostess said she told us 55 minutes. Why would we lie to ourselves? One of only a few minor reasons I gave it four stars instead of five. Yes. Could she have mixed us up with someone else, yes. Just seemed odd. And silly. And after waiting 45, rude and not accountable. Just say it’s gonna be a little longer. Atmosphere was lovely as any 74 degree beautiful weather night should be in San Diego with all the games on. Server was friendly. Most memorable? Onion rings. Great. Would go again just for those. Wings were good. Super large and tons of flavors to try. Ranch was above average. None of the wings flavors we got screamed at me to love them but they were good enough to be curious about coming back to try others. The auctioning off of food at the table was overkill at one point and then realized maybe an extra order had been put on our tab but either way, just stood out…and had some delays in getting our full entree order out at the same time.

Good burgers, and the young lady who served us was professional, BUT… …they hit you with a 4% service charge. Yes, by patronizing Dirty Birds you will give them an extra 4% of your hard-earned money in exchange for NO goods or services. The service charge notice wasn’t conspicuous. It might be on the menu but I’d bet it’s at the very bottom in .0001 size font. Why be sneaky? Why are they scared to raise their prices instead of resorting to a service charge? If I had seen the notice I wouldn’t have dined here.

Got a honey mustard salad and some of my coworkers got tater tots and wings. Buy 1 get 1 50% off wings comes out to be barely 20% off and is hence not even a deal. Food was the definition of mid, and pretty expensive. And on top of that they do a 4% surcharge for whatever reason and automatic 20% gratuity for 6 or more people when the server was rude, took forever to tend to us and get the food and barely deserving of a 15% tip. Definitely do not recommend this place, there’s many much better spots here at Liberty station

Busters. I sat at the bar today. June 8th, 7pm. I got 10 wings, but I ordered them by 5 and 5 differentflavors. But instead of giving me the 10 piece price he, he charged me more money by charging me the 5 piece price. Then, a 1 dollar charge for ranch. Smh. Whatever. Wings came out suspiciously fast. I usually vouch for Dirty Birds, but this is the 3rd time I have had a bad experience. Hopefully, it's just this location. Other than that, dirty birds bout to lose their good reputation if they haven't done so already.

The food is amazing, but the service was terrible. Since i first came in to get settled for a table the hostess that attended my family gave us a terrible look at us and told us that we have to wait 30 minutes and we asked if we could sit somewhere or at the bar meanwhile and she said no with a terrible attitude. we waited outside sitting in the bar and went to kick us out saying that underage teens can’t sit there. Finally when they gave us our table and they wanted us to sit outside when we wanted to sit inside, at the end they gave us a table outside and the hostess always had a dirty look at us while we saw she treated other clients differently. Also the restaurant was empty aswell as all the tables and still made us wait around 20-30 mins. I am not assuming anything but I wouldn’t discard the idea and issue that we were not treated with respect that everyone deserves as a Mexican family. There was also very heavy tension.

Got seated pretty quickly but sat there for a long time before someone came to take our order. Wings came out really dry as if it was reheated and also left on the table for a while before being brought out to us. I ate 2 pieces and left the rest. Server was nice, it was later in the afternoon so maybe just tired or understaffed. I don't blame her but that was just our experience that late afternoon

Our firm decided to do catering last minute and when I called the restaurant, they gave me the number to the manager. I spoke with Jeannette the manager and she was so accommodating for our request! We had a budget and she recommended items that fits our budget. The food was so delicious and the team was very happy! The service was also excellent considering we requested on a short notice. Will definitely order from Latin Chef again and recommend everyone to try this place out in Liberty Station.

Unfortunately today's lunch wasn't up to par. The steak was bland/overcooked with too much hard fat and my fried plantains were still raw inside. A total rip off for $23, I wish they would have returned my money ☹️. I had been there in the past with pleasant experiences though.

Authentic Peruvian food. I was little disappointed because I wanted try the fried sweet plantains and JALEA, both were unavailable and with limited options I had to choose seafood saltado, which was good. I will definitely visit again to try what I missed. The food was ready in 15 mins. There are few tables right next to the food counter and there are plenty around the marketplace.

I grew up in a Peruvian household and this food hit all the marks - Exploding with taste, nice texture, and great portions. Highly recommend!

Medium quality and over priced. I was excited to try this place and the people are nice, but the food is overpriced and the quality is mediocre. I got take out, and I told him that I didn’t want fried rice. I thought I had picked a chicken dish with white rice. When I got home it was the fried rice. Which was way over priced for $18. I got my husband, their popular Loma steak dish, and he didn’t even want to eat it. The french fries for mushy, which I don’t even know why you put french fries in this dish to begin with. There’s a lot of great places at liberty station in Market. don’t go to this restaurant.

I usually go around the US trying new foods to surprise my taste. Today I came across this Peruvian restaurant, first the girl that took my order was a bit rude in my opinion plus not really helping me with the menu. I have to say food was out fast but was not even worth it, food warm but tasted like it has just been microwaved. I got a lomo saltado, got Walmart fries, hard chewy meat, and hard rice on top of that it was missing salt. Also got anticuchos which I think were okay. I have had great Peruvian food, this is not one of them. Chicha morada seemed to not even have sugar. Very disappointed wasted 70 bucks

Came to Liberty Station recently to find some food for me and my wife. We decided to try The Latin Chef. I decided on the Tallarin Saltado de Res and my wife had the Tallarin Saltado de pollo. We never had Peruvian food before and I can say this was a good impression. The food was very tasty and was enjoyed deeply by both of us. We will be back when in the area. Highly Recommended.

Generous scoop size. Garlic Salmon was good but the seasoning for the Kilauea Ahi tasted very odd. It's supposed to be spicy but it just tasted like red pepper flakes with a hint of sourness.

Fish was cut very choppy and chewy. It was practically inedible which is a shame. I really liked the flavors of the poke but the way the fish was handled was careless today.

here’s the before and after of what we ate and we both started starving. it was not very good, the flavors aren’t good, the fish is squishy, and the sauce is weirdly gelatinous. we’ve never had a bad poke bowl until today. their drink machine was out of all the diet options as well. staff was super friendly and nice but these bowls were just not good. we spent 40 bucks for two bad bowls and a soft drink cup full of water.

This was the best poke I’ve ever had. The scoops were huge & we happened to come during happy hour from 3-5. The firecracker salmon & spicy ahi were amazing!!

Great poke, 3 varieties each of Ahi and Salmon when I visited and tried 4 of them and all were solid. Love the dice sizes of their fish. One of the better poke places I've been to, including on several trips to Hawaii. Would recommend.

The poke here is insane. "Dan" with the one star review doesn't know what he's eating to claim the fish is slimy. Then again, most of the people complaining about this place and they don't understand what authentic poke is so they can go get their poke salad bowls from Venice beach instead. Service was top notch. Great staff and quick help. I ordered a plate with shoyu tuna, garlic salmon, and the Kilauea salmon for about $20 and they LOAD up the plate with poke. The Kilauea salmon has a good kick! The garlic salmon is so garlicky good and delicious, you can't get salmon better than this. And that shoyu tuna? oh baby. HFS knows what they're doing and they kill the game every time

The garlic salmon poke bowl was very delicious. Very generous portion size. The tuna poke nachos were amazing as well!!! The seasonings are so delicious. Would absolutely return. Fresh tasting and definitely get a lot of food for the price. Highly recommend.

Pretty good place. Food is nice and fresh and the portions are big. They'll fill you up for 180$ paella. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Young cashier man even speaks some English. Cards are accepted here.

(Translated by Google) The service is good and that's it. The paella was cold and the worst of all was that baby cockroaches kept coming out, it was a very unpleasant experience. The staff noticed and just apologized, they weren't even good at offering any courtesy or going beyond just saying “excuse me”. (Original) El servicio es bueno y hasta ahí. La paella estaba fría y lo peor de todo es que no paraban de salir cucarachas bebés, fue una experiencia muy desagradable. El personal se dio cuenta y solo se disculpó, ni siquiera fueron buenos para ofrecer alguna cortesía o ir más allá de solo decir “disculpen”.

(Translated by Google) A place with history, the paella has dignity and the price is acceptable, I was well attended to by the staff and they have a great musician to liven up the stay. But I think the place needs a remodel. Advisable (Original) Un lugar con historia, la paella tiene dignidad y el precio es aceptable, fui bien atendido por el personal y tienen un gran músico para amenizar la estancia. Pero creo que le hace falta una remodelación al local. Recomendable

(Translated by Google) The paella and the Spanish tortilla are very delicious, good portions (Original) La paella y la tortilla española muy rica, buenas porciones

(Translated by Google) The seafood in the paella does not have a good flavor, it is not fresh, neither is the chicken, the salad is terrible, the mustard dressing is not delicious and adding the service of the lady who charges very reluctantly, not at all friendly, I do not recommend this paella , previously it was very good (Original) El marisco de la paella no tiene buen sabor , no es fresco, el pollo tampoco , la ensalada pésima , un aderezo de mostaza no está rico y agregando el servicio de la sra que cobra de muy mala gana , nada amigable , no recomiendo esta paella , anteriormente fue muy buena

(Translated by Google) The place is small, I ordered chistorra and some pieces were very dry and others half raw, I also ordered the special paella and the squid in its ink, it took more than an hour to serve us and the food did not look or taste fresh, the seafood was As very overcooked and bland, they served us the food and it was not even very hot. The women's bathroom does not close the door. The only thing I consider redeemable would be the man who sings live and the sangria. (Original) El lugar es pequeño, pedí chistorra y estaban algunos pedazos muy secos y otros medio crudos, también pedí la paella especial y los calamares en su tinta, tardaron más de una hora en servirnos y la comida no se veía ni sabía fresco, los mariscos estaban como muy recocidos y desabridos, nos sirvieron la comida y no estaba ni bien caliente. El baño de mujeres no cierra la puerta. Lo único que considero rescatable sería el señor que canta en vivo y la sangría.

(Translated by Google) It's a very quiet place to enjoy with your partner. The paella is delicious, the portion is very large, one order fed two people. It has a great singer, who sings very romantically, he really sings beautifully. I recommend it. (Original) Es un lugar muy tranquilo, para disfrutar con tu pareja la paella esta muy rica la porción es muy basta ,con una orden comimos 2 Personas, cuenta con un gran cantante, que canta muy romántico de verdad canta hermoso se los recomiendo.

The older gentleman at the front was so friendly and attentive. I ordered the prosciutto sandwich and it’s amazing super fresh ingredients, fantastic bread! super delicious! Well worth the price it’s a huge sandwich and came with salad or chips! They hand wrote my name with hearts on the box my sandwich was in! Amazing place highly recommend! Best sandwich I’ve ever had!

Incredible food! I had the San Diego chicken sandwich & house salad with Organic Italian soda. The focaccia bread is fresh from the over & fresh ingredients

We came here from TikTok and were worried it was overhyped! Let me tell you, it definitely wasn’t. We split the mortadella/burrata and prosciutto/mozzarella, and both of them were delicious. First of all, I’m very picky about my sandwich meats, and you could tell both the mortadella and prosciutto were actually imported and were fantastic quality. I also really enjoyed the spreads on both of them as well as the focaccia. Fantastic texture, taste, and quality. The side salad was delicious also!

Must try this place when at Liberty Station! I went during the grand opening and sampled all of these delicious sandwiches. The burrata and mortadella are like nothing else you've ever tasted. SOOOO DELICIOUS! Very fresh and unique sandwiches and salads., awesome owners and super refreshing cucumber limeade drink! Try something new today! Check this place out!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bistro Europa – Point Loma’s Hidden Gem! Bistro Europa is an absolute treasure in Point Loma! Their sandwiches are on another level—made with the freshest ingredients, specialty meats, and perfectly baked breads that make every bite unforgettable. You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into their food. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of a lively area with shops, energy, and beautiful views of the bay. It’s the perfect spot to grab a meal and soak in the Point Loma atmosphere. What really sets Bistro Europa apart, though, are the owners. I had the chance to meet them, and they are genuinely wonderful people—friendly, welcoming, and passionate about their craft. Hearing their story and their vision, including the catering options they provide, made me love this place even more. If you’re in San Diego, do yourself a favor and stop by Bistro Europa. Delicious food, amazing people, and great environment.

The the public market is an amazing atmosphere. But the food at Bistro Europa blew my mind. I have never had a sandwich with such innovative and delicious flavors. And it great for familys and for lunch with friends. The workers are so fun and so incredibly helpful. I 10/10 recommend this place.

First time here, heard alot of great things. Swung by and OMG...Service, Atmosphere and of course the FOOD!!! Chefs KISS. I could taste the freshness in the bread, quality meat used and all of the above. Every time I visit the area I will definitely be swinging back by. Thank you making DELICIOUS food. Rare these days! I would add photos, but I already ate it all..
