Coasterra offers a stunning waterfront dining experience in San Diego with "breathtaking views" and "excellent service." The atmosphere is vibrant and the restaurant is noted for its "impeccable" hospitality. While some dishes are hits, like the swordfish tacos, there are mixed reviews on food quality.

    Food is mediocre at best. Americanized Mexican with too much cream and mayo. Will not be back

    Great food, ambiance and service with Kevin. It was a beautiful night outside under the heaters. Ceasar salad, flautas and calamari were all perfect. The Pineapple Tamarind cocktail was fabulous!

    Although we have always loved Coasterra, as vegetarians we did not love the menu at all. Luckily they have recently added a vegetarian lasagna and vegetarian enchiladas. Although it is still quite odd that you can't even get a vegetarian salad for lunch without omitting the protein. So now there are enough vegetarian options to make Coasterra a much more often addition to our restaurant choices! Yay! And service is always exemplary1

    It was great! Beautiful views. Food is a little overpriced for the quality IMO but you’re paying for the view. Our server was super kind and friendly. The kitchen must have been backed up though because it took a while to get our food.

    Fantastic ambience with a beautiful view of downtown San Diego. Delicious menu and quality service. Three of the five ordered the mahi tacos. Two was too much food for me, but the others at my table ate both and were satisfied.

    Great thanksgiving feast with breathtaking view of the bay and San Diego’s skyline. Service was extremely friendly and professional. The staff constantly attend to your needs. One of them even helped carry one of my plates back to the table. The food selection was very eclectic and included hand crafted soups, multiple meat carving stations, and a wide variety of salads, side dishes, and desserts. Will definitely consider coming back here for future holiday feasts. Thank you coasterra for a wonderful experience.

    Gluten-free selection was great, except dessert. There was only one selection, flourless chocolate cake. Would have preferred more of a selection, along with gluten free gravy. Service was terrific.

    Pretty, pretty good. A bit overpriced for the quality, but the ambiance is absolutely amazing. The food is good enough to get the job done, but not that great. The ahi tuna appetizer was tasty. The tampiqueña steak was average at best. Served to me cold, which was ironic because it’s on a hot plate. The hot plate was cold as well. Not much flavor. Desert was meh. Our server was awesome. Can’t remember her name, but she was super duper.

    The food, the view, and the service were excellent. The only thing I would say is they were a little hesitant to swap out things on the menu if you have allergies. I think restaurants need to be flexible with customers with allergies as that is a safety issue. Other than that it was an unforgettable experience!
