" Delicious tacos! I had the chipotle shrimp tacos and the battered fish. The flavors were bold, but each taco was nice and light without being overwhelming. I loved the vibrant atmosphere, it's a perfect place to bring friends to enjoy a relaxing meal. Just a minor downside was the slight wait for food, but they were busy, and it was worth every minute! Add this place to your list of must-visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first visit at Waves Taco Club and it was fantastic! The variety of flavors in their seafood tacos stood out to me. The texture was on point, with each taco offering something unique. The atmosphere felt vibrant and energetic, which made the meal more enjoyable. Service was prompt, but the place was busy, so patience is key if you come during peak times. I'd happily return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Waves Taco Club is definitely a taco lover's paradise! I tried the birria tacos and was astonished by the depth of flavor. The atmosphere is super fun too! It's the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay longer, enjoying your meal and maybe a drink or two. Server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as well. Highly recommend giving it a shot!

" A great place for tacos! I was blown away by how much flavor was packed into each taco we ordered. The birria was definitely my favorite. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and I loved the fun decor. It did get a bit crowded, but that just meant the restaurant was popular! The staff were working hard to keep everyone happy and it showed. I’ll be returning soon for another feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had lunch here, and it was incredible! I decided on the birria tacos, and they truly exceeded my expectations. The meat was tender, and the flavor was spot on. I also tried the house-made chips with guacamole, which was tasty but could have used a bit more seasoning. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. While the ambiance was lively, it did get a bit noisy, but that just added to the fun vibe. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the Gaslamp district! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, my friends and I decided to try Waves Taco Club, and it was off the charts good! We went for both the shrimp and fish tacos, which featured perfectly fried seafood and tasty toppings. The dining space was fun and lively. The wait staff was friendly, and the vibe just felt right. What sealed the deal for me was their creative interpretation of the classic California burrito. I can’t wait to make a return trip soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waves Taco Club is my new favorite taco spot in San Diego! I was overwhelmed by how fresh and delicious everything was. I had the battered shrimp and the mahi-mahi tacos, which were cooked to perfection and weren’t greasy at all. The ingredients felt incredibly fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. I appreciated the creativity of their menu, especially the unique options that you rarely find elsewhere. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and everyone seemed to love their food. The only downside was a slight wait during peak hours, but it was absolutely worth it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
