This place has great reviews for a reason. Although very unassuming, it's sure not reflected in the quality of the food or the great customer service. Arriving after 2:00 pm on a Sunday afternoon in late April, there was no wait to order, although most of the ample seating in back was full. During peak times I'm sure this place really rocks. By the time I filled my soda and returned from using the restroom (very clean and well stocked) my April Special Pulled Pork sandwich in sweet BBQ Sauce had arrived. This is served on a brioche bun with coleslaw on the sandwich, although I ordered mine without the slaw. Definitely a formidable sandwich to be reckoned with and tackled with a fork and knife (at least when dressed in a white T-Shirt!). The pork was tender, succulent and the BBQ sauce sweet, and a good accent to the pork, without overwhelming the flavor of the meat. The bun was fresh and toasted. The food so good it was hard to carry on a conversation because once the meal arrived, all attention was focused on the food. Definitely a great place for locals and a must for those on holiday.

Not a large menu but food quality is excellent . If you love Carnitas you have to try this place. The atmosphere is very casual in a patio setting . 👍🏼

Probably the best outside venue in the city of downtown San Diego! Not only that but the food and the concept are delicious! The views, the energy, and even the entertainment are all stellar. A definite must see.

This place is absolutely amazing! Great service, yummy food and very cute sitting area. We had the steak sandwich, carnitas tacos, pork belly appetizer and fries. To say we were satisfied is an understatement.

My lady and I loved this place. We decided to head down to SD for a 3 day weekend, to get out and visit new places, new food and places to see, we like to think of ourselves as foodies, lol. We found this gem, during our late night hunger, and could not be more happy to have chosen anything different. The food is delicious, filling and farely priced for the portions they give you. The beverage selection is different and more enjoyable than what is default at any other restaurant. You guys will love this place, great environment for hanging out and watching the game.

This place is chef’s kiss. Got the steak sandwich based on the cashier’s recommendation (didn’t catch his name) but boy was he right. It is literally one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. It taste soooo good and the little salsa it comes brings it to the next level.

Conveniently located right across the street from the Intercontinental hotel, and along the Embarcadero. The portion sizes are very generous and the tortilla size is larger than a standard taco, but smaller than burrito size. I ordered the carnitas tacos and a side of chips and guacamole and compared to the litany of taco joints in San Diego, this food pales in comparison. Carnitas and tortillas looked great, but were a touch too dry. But it was close by and satisfied my craving for Mexican food. Plenty of public outdoor seating along the waterfront or under an arbor. You order at a kiosk (credit card only) and pick up your order at a window.

I’d highly recommend this place to drink and eat. Open bar service ocean on one side and road on another. Lovely weather and its perfect 😀 Must try south salad and Baja fish tacos. Cheers!!

We stopped by for dinner midweek. Found this place across from our hotel. I ordered the Triple Threat pork sandwich. Pulled pork, pork snitchel, and bacon on a Brioshe bun. The sandwich was good, but the pulled pork was dry, as it was reheated on a flat top grill, making the sandwich a bit less flavorful as it could have been. The atmosphere and service were very good.

Food was surprisingly good. The spicy chicken sandwich was two thin patties, coated and fried u til crisp. The kid chicken tenders were large enough for a adult

Ate here a few times while we were staying at the Intercontinental. It is literally across the street. The food is damn good and the views even better. One night there was even a salsa band and dancing happening close by. The staff were awesome and very enthusiastic when they called your name for order pickup. I felt like a celebrity lol. The food came out fast and fresh. Highly recommend eating here!!

AMAZINGLY good food. We are staying at the Wyndham down the street and stumbled upon it waiting for our room. I wish we were staying here longer to enjoy this amazing food! I loved the outdoor seating and the multiple options for ordering food. I did ask for sour cream and ketchup and didn’t get it which wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t even say anything. But if I would have said anything to the staff they would have made it right. Must try when in San Diego!

I visited here for the first time in a long time when I heard Chef Hanis was coming back for a one off pop up Collab. His food (all of it is his food) never disappoints and today’s specials were worth the trip. Happy that the Shack is still doing good business. Even if there’s only one location now.

What a cool place. We came down to see #djmikewhite and we’re so glad we did. You couldn’t beat the weather but then again hey, it IS San Diego. What was a pleasant surprise was the VIBE. A chill, outdoor bar with additional seating for grub. The bartenders were attentive, the service was prompt and the food was actually really good. We had the southwest salad and steak quesadilla. They were generous with the avocado slices and the salsa but back - loved it. We opted to sit in the sunshine near the DJ booth and it was great. Warm sun kisses and cool breeze. A definite repeat and thanks for the invite to check the place out Mike!
