Customer Reviews
Dos Pescados is a coastal gem with incredible food and beautiful ocean views. The food ordered was flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the margaritas are a must-try. The vibe is relaxed yet stylish, making it ideal for a sunset dinner or casual lunch by the sea. Great service, bold flavors, and a view that elevates the whole experience. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you want excellent food, service and views.
Great view and atmosphere! Service is fantastic. Drinks were well made and balanced. Fish tacos were good, but for a restaurant named Pescados (fish in Spanish) I would expect more fish / sefood items on the menu. The chips were over cooked and the salsa was ok. The employees are so nice and friendly while still being professional. Parking is easy and it's a great location!
First things first. Serious upgrade over Palapas. IMHO Palapas only existed as a place where you could grab a beer and palatable but boring food after a little league game with a view, while the kids ran around and left the parents Ali e for a little while. Overall quite impressed with the food. The salsa was quite good, as were the chips. I would give the snapper ceviche with mango and aji amarillo a 5/5 both for taste and presentation. The arugula salad was just ok; loses points for (strongly suspect but can’t be certain) canned beets, and being quite salty (might be the nuts). I would recommend they switch to house made roasted beets and maybe Pepitas. We also had the Birria tacos, and the seafood (not Baja-style) fish tacos al pastor. Both also very good. My only quibble is that
All of the food we had was good and the outdoor seating was nice for our sunny day. The ambience and location is more what the restaurant has going for it.
This was our first visit since the restaurant changed over from one which had been there for decades. We think the current one is definitely an improvement. The service was great, prompt and friendly. I had Carne Asada. The meat was tender and medium rare. The garnishes of radish, cilantro, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and pickled red onion nicely complemented the plate. The large roasted jalapeño was a nice touch. The rice and beans were good, and everything was tied together nicely with fresh flour tortillas. My wife enjoyed the chicken enchiladas. Fresh tomatoes and guacamole complemented the rice and beans on the side. I had a taste and it was delicious. A couple of margaritas rounded out a great lunch.
