Fish 101 - Encinitas

Fantastic local gem! We always opt for the fish tacos or fish burrito, and they never disappoint—always fresh and delicious. There's usually a long queue, but it moves swiftly. The food also comes out quickly; they really know how to run things efficiently. The atmosphere is laid-back with a surf vibe, and the service is outstanding.

Excellent! I found it to be a much better choice than a burger for lunch. There are plenty of great fish options available.

We made a quick stop for fish tacos on our way to LA after getting a recommendation for this place, and I’m glad we did. Being a surf town, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but it’s worth it. I initially planned to try the fish tacos, but I ended up ordering a poke bowl instead. The poke was incredibly fresh, and the brown rice was cooked to perfection. One of my friends ordered the fish tacos, and after tasting one, I was blown away—absolutely delicious! The staff, including the owners, are exceptionally friendly and genuinely care about their customers, showcasing their pride in serving fresh fish. Today happened to be blue mahi day, so I had that in my poke bowl, and the fish tacos were also made with blue mahi. I highly recommend this spot, and an added bonus is their pet-friendly outdoor patio. Check out my photos!
