- AAaronSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined todayThis is one of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant! The coconut shrimp was out of this world and the Wild Isle salmon was phenomenal. The drinks are excellent as well. On top of this our server, I think his name is Sean or John, was attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about all of the food and drink options.

- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 3, 2025It is always a joy to eat at Coya. The ambience is delightful. Soft lightening in an outdoor patio, made cozy by the structure and plants and the heaters. We tried something new this time and loved it, the mussels appetizer and the squid ink risotto with a big piece of mahi-mahi done perfectly. The wait staff is super friendly and efficient.

- LLindaSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025We always have lunch at Pacifica Del Mar on New Year's Day. Has been our tradition for 25 years and there is no better way to start the new year. Beautiful ocean view, impeccable service, great menu selections, piping hot delicious food, wow factor cocktails...it all adds up to an amazing experience. Highly recommend. Try the prawn cocktail, mixed greens salad, sugar-spiced salmon, and burnt cream. Grapefruit martini was fire!More infoPacifica Del MarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Del Mar•4.5
