"Attention-grabbing views and attention-getting food go hand-in-hand at this modern Mexican eatery set on the tip of Harbor Island, which offers dramatic panoramas of downtown San Diego from across the water. The enormous patio, equipped with a sizable fire pit, is the best place to soak it all in, though the sleek, glassed-in dining room is an enjoyable second fiddle once the sun sets.Chef Deborah Scott nicely balances old-school and new-world takes on upscale Mexican fare. In the former, you’ll find delicious guacamole, made tableside; while in the latter, a smoked beet tartare tostada with king trumpet mushrooms and peanut salsa. Chicken enchiladas “divorciadas,” with a duo of sauces are a memorable indulgence, as are piping-hot churros for dessert." - Michelin Inspector
"Coasterra is a Mexican restaurant in San Diego. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Modern Mexican cuisine is the highlight of this sleek oceanfront dining space with a floating deck and sweeping views of the San Diego Bay. A complete buyout of the venue is available, offering space for up to 1,500 guests who can celebrate the nuptials at this waterfront destination. Couples can say “I do” on the restaurant’s floating event space called the Harbor Float with front seat views of Coronado Island. In the kitchen, chef Deborah Scott showcases Baja-inspired dishes and classics such as pan seared salmon with pasilla cream, and eño-corn lasagna with roasted poblanos and caramelized onions. The open-air Skyline Terrace — with built-in bars and market lights — is the perfect place for guests to grab a cocktail before heading into the Bayview Ballroom for an elegant seated dinner in a room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and bubble-inspired chandeliers." - Roxana Becerril
"You’ll love the dreamy city views from Coasterra’s floor-to-ceiling glass windows and expansive patio. Sitting over the San Diego Bay on Shelter Island, you can see the Coronado Bay Bridge and the glittering San Diego skyline. It’s an amazing sight any time of day, but it’s especially beautiful at night, when the lights of the city sparkle over the water. Nine unique varieties of margaritas, plus tableside pitchers for the extra thirsty, keep the party going strong, but our choice is the Coconut Margarita, with Lunazul reposado, coconut cream, lime juice, and a bracing coconut salt rim." - Mary Beth Abate
"Modern Mexican cuisine dominates this elegant oceanfront dining space with a floating deck and dramatic views of the San Diego Bay and Coronado Island. Up to 300 guests can celebrate with the wedding couple and indulge in specialties like adobo carnitas tacos." - Helen I. Hwang
