If you want good food and a great view don’t miss out on this place. I had the grilled fish taco ???? and it was excellent & huge! They’re French fries are also very good and the service is also good and friendly. All seating is outside under a covered patio, there aren’t a lot of tables but it is worth the wait. I’ve also had a cheeseburger here and it was also very good and juicy. It’s right next to a little park that overlooks the ocean where lots of people go at night to watch the beautiful sunset.
The fish was crispy on the outside, flakey on the inside. The fries have a great seasoning on them. The service was quick and pleasant. The view of the ocean was lovely. Vegetarian options: They have an "Impossible" burger that was good.
We went to Harbor Fish Cafe after spending some time at Carlsbad Beach. My husband and I enjoyed having fish and chips. My daughter had shrimp and fish and her sister just wanted a side of fries.
