I had some tacos and rice+ beans which were great. I'd be excited to try a burrito next time. Make sure you sit outside and soak in the ocean view!

Tried a few street tacos. Carnitas and also fried fish. Fish was better. Carnitas were a bit dry. Tortillas (corn) were good. Thick enough that you only needed one per taco. Best thing was the price. Street tacos were $3 each. My girlfriend got a two taco platter. $8 for two. Both reasonably priced. Her grilled Mahi Mahi were better than either of mine.

Talk about consistency. I first started coming here back in '98 when living down the street. Over the years I come back every time I'm in the area. Food is always so good. We will be back soon.

My friend wanted a piña colada from here and we decided to stop by for that and a couple of food for the beach which was not too short of a drive away. You can get a great view of the ocean dining out on the patio! The inside is very casual as if you were eating at home. The place had some cool piñatas hung around the shop which was a cute touch. I didn't know what to order but they had two signs that indicated their fish tacos were one of the best things to get, so I opted for one. They have a nice selection of hot sauces in which you get your containers when you receive your order. They were pretty generous with the toppings from the bar as I saw jalapeños, diced onions, and limes. I liked the chipotle sauce the best! It was flavorful with my fish taco. My friend ordered their carne asada fries and they were pretty standard as the fries weren't as crispy as I've had compared to other carne asada fries. Overall, I would give Don Bravos a 4 for the quality of their food and service!

I ordered the Don Bravo bowl without rice and loaded it with salsa and fresh cilantro...it was awesome! Smokey flavor and the carne asada was perfectly grilled. A great little authentic place! Beautiful view of the ocean as well.

If you're looking for real Baja style fish tacos in La Jolla be sure to stop here. We were in search of a mom and pop taco spot and Don Bravo came through. Prices were great and the tacos were huge! The rice was very authentic, reminded me of my Grandmas. Don Bravo has their own parking lot and an amazing ocean view just a block down the street. They serve beer, margaritas and an array of other dishes, hard shell tacos, soft tacos, enchiladas and more. We will definitely be back to enjoy their other items.
