Excellent options for seafood lovers. I enjoyed the fried shrimp appetizer and a branzino plate with seasoned olive oil and side of brown rice + tomato/feta salad. The fish was perfectly cooked with crispy skin. Fry job on the appetizer was solid too. Service was fast during their soft opening! Will definitely add this spot to our neighborhood rotation!

Two methods to order, one directly with the staff and the other is with a self-serve kiosk. You’re notified when your order is completed by a phone number, and then you pick up your food from the counter. The staff has always been very helpful and are very willing to answer questions. Overall it’s been a very welcome experience here, and I absolutely love their pineapple cream fountain soda ( hands down literally the best I’ve had).

Run for errand around el Cerrito wanted something fishy saw this place looks pretty decent order the Salmon Grill with white rice but doesn’t look white anyway my gf ordered the shrimp grill with rice it was both good. Honestly If they can increase the sauce on each dishes that would of be better

I don’t understand how this place has 4.6 stars. I’m not a hater, but service is a minimum- you order on a machine and pickup your own food like you’re at a McDonalds. Little to no interaction. The food is unbelievably mid, never have I ever had such subpar fish tacos.

Restaurant atmosphere is nice and new. Order kiosks are convenient and easy to use. I ordered the dynamite shrimp bowl with white rice. The presentation is beautiful but unfortunately, the rice was gummy and undercooked and the shrimp was chewy and way over cooked. Plus they forgot to give me a fork and napkins (I ordered Togo). I will go again but I won’t order the shrimp.

My first visit. Looking for fish tacos I used to get at, recently closed, Rubio’s Baja Grill, I ordered the Classic Fish Taco plate. Rice was good, pinto beans needed salt, paper thin corn tortillas, less than a tablespoon of cabbage slaw, no lime, batter was crisp but so thick and oil saturated I could not taste the fish — think funnel cake at the county fair. Clam chowder was ample and OK. I will be back to try the many grilled fish choices but no more deep fried anything here for me.
