My husband loves seafood, so we made sure to stop here. The girls behind the counter made sure I had an awesome vegetarian meal that I would go back for in a heartbeat! (Ask about the black bean patty tacos!) The view is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. I'm told the fish and chips were delicious! We'll... More

We had two small orders of fish & chips with 2 drinks for $23. It was your average fish & chips meal that was tasty. No frills: you order at the counter and they bring your meal to your table. View is onto a small working marina with fishing vessels and you can see beyond to Morro rock.

we were surprised by some of the prices charged by local restaurants so decided just to go for 'fish and fries'. Service was great by a friendly counter assistant. it cost us nearly 40usd for two people with soda. admittedly as english people, a request was made for bread and butter - unheard of in USA so we were provided...

Thanks to TripAdvisor, we were able to finally make a restaurant choice in Morro Bay. I typically don't eat fried foods, but after reading the other reviews of the yummy fried fish at Rocca's, I couldn't resist. Soooo glad I got it! Simply delicious, tender, flaky, sweet...all that you'd want in a fried fish fillet. I was tempted to try... More

Walking along this place just looks like a cool place to have a beer. So, we go in and decide to have a couple fish tacos with our beer. Oh my....yum! Next time we go for the best fish tacos ever! The salsa they served with them was also delicious. Evidently it's there special recipe. The other customers were equally... More

We had lunch here. Delicious fish tacos and fish and chips. The price was good and the location is a great place to sit and rest after shopping. Clean and nice!

We visited this restaurant in February with some friends and we were impressed not only with the fish and ships, which were excellent, but by the waitress who ran around like a dynamo. We later found out she was the owner! A must if you are in town. Service was excellent and the owner is an absolute delight!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, I rather enjoyed being whistled at, by the electronic sensor at the door. It was a fun change from your standard doorbell chimes when entering a small establishment. The staff was super friendly, which always makes a good meal taste even better. I ordered the fish tacos, which are apparently a crowd favorite. They are good, but quite similar... More
