I always love coming here for fresh seafood right on the water. The views alone are worth it, but their clam chowder and fish and chips keep me coming back. It’s casual but feels special, perfect for a relaxing meal by the harbor.

The wrestling-themed decor is quirky and fun, but it’s really the bold flavors of their tacos that steal the show. The “Surfin’ California” burrito is a must-try. It’s loaded with flavor and totally unique.
