Great location for snack and drink. It's on the pricey side but you are paying for the prime location. Great views for sunset or people watching. The table and chairs are right on the sand with umbrellas. Would come again with out of town friends for classic Coronado beach experience.

1st time here, and I loved the surf and turf tacos as well as the view! Absolutely recommended this taco spot when there is live music. I will be coming here very soon again! These tacos were delicious and the view was beautiful

The surf and turf taco were amazing. The view of the Pacific with my toes in the sand made it a great day, especially when my hometown is getting ready polar vortex!

These tacos were fully loaded and full of flavor! So good! Drinks here are fun and have healthy pours! If you’re looking for a quick Bite, stop here! And there is seating at some picnic tables on the beach nearby! We were there on a Sunday, and they had live music! He was a great singer, singing a lot of covers and provided for a nice ambiance.

This place is great. I don't know why the 3.8 rating as they are really good. Maybe the price, but it is on a Resort so expect tye resort prices. The drinks are great, plenty of beach seating and the wait staff was quick. Different offerings with the Tacos and you can take them to go as well. Would reccomend

Great place to stop by to get drinks or some tacos. The line can get long but it's worth the wait and the bartenders make the drinks pretty quick so the lines moves fast. There is additional seating area across from the shack where you can enjoy beach views and listen to music.

Bomb drinks (mango daiquiri) and delicious tacos. The steak chimmichuri taco was definitely the best, tender and juicy and flavorful. Would pass on the grilled fish taco bc it was dry and overcooked. We would definitely come back for more drinks on the beach Service was fast and friendly and there are picnic tables nearby on the beach reserved for patrons.

Great place to enjoy a drink or a bite of food overlooking the Coronado Beach and Hotel del Coronado. Weekends are busy yet we were able to get a table to enjoy the cold beverage enjoying the autumn sun. They play live music in the afternoons making the place to visit and enjoy time with family and friends. Free street parking is available a short walk away but can be hard to find at times. A must visit destination on your next trip to San Diego.
