- KCKathyCSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFood and service were both outstanding. Fish tacos were delicious and we had the crispy brussel sprouts for an appetizer and they were amazing. Sat at a table on the glass over looking the water which made for a very nice lunch. Recommend this restaurant.More infoPacifica Del MarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Del Mar•4.5

- SSuzannePittsburgh / Western PA •33 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a lovely anniversary lunch at Jake's, sitting at an ocean front window table. Fabulous view, great service. We shared the fish tacos and the seafood chowder. The kitchen was nice enough to split the orders into two for no extra charge. Our server also gave us the choice of a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We chose chocolate peanut butter torte to share. It was delicious, but we couldn’t finish it. We had the Hula Pie at Duke’s in Maui, so we chose to try something else. We did have a taste of Hawaii with a very good Duke’s Mai Tai. Will be back if we visit Del Mar again! Also, use Jake's valet parking, which was $8 at lunch. We used the public parking across the street, which was a minimum of $25 for two hours.More infoJake's Del MarPrice: Moderate• American• Del Mar•4.7
- AAnastasiaMontreal / Quebec •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were there at 1 pm for late lunch. There was construction noise on the North side of the patio as the next door building is being renovated. Otherwise, it was a nice atmosphere with ocean view, good service and good food. I recommend the restaurant.More infoBeeside Balcony Del MarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Del Mar•4.5
- MMarlineVIPSan Diego •26 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThis was our first time eating here and it was a wonderful surprise. The menu has a nice selection of standard Mexican fare and also a lot of creative new Mexican dishes. We both had tacos and all were delicious. As someone who eats gluten free as a preference, I’m very happy when the corn tortillas are hand made on the premises: these were excellent and added a very good flavor to the chicken, pork and shrimp tacos. The guacamole was also very tasty. We didn’t have drinks or dessert and the tab with tip was about $63. We thought it was worth it and will be back to try more things on the menu.More infoSalt + Lime Del MarPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Del Mar•4.5
