What customers say?

“ Amazing Food, Fresh Shrimp, and Wonderful People! Agua Salada is a gem! The food and drinks are simply amazing, and the entire experience is elevated by the wonderful staff. The owner, Alex, and the bartender, Jorge, are both incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. You absolutely have to try the Camarones a la Diabla—it's legit and packed with flavor. Every dish with shrimp, from the tacos to the other entrees, features incredibly fresh shrimp. Speaking of tacos, all of them are delicious, so you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. And for all you spice lovers out there, make sure to ask for the homemade super spicy salsas. They are fantastic and really kick things up a notch. Five stars all the way! ”

“ We decided to give this new place a try based on the reviews. The service was good - the staff we encountered were courteous The strange thing was there's no beverage menu and we somehow had to figure out what drinks we wanted. We ordered a couple drinks. One of them was mojito. They came back and said they couldn't make it. We had to figure something else out again We have mixed feelings about the food we had. The grilled octopus taco was very tasty, but the super burrito with fish was bland. And the 2 dishes came out more than 5 minutes apart. We ended up sharing our food, so it wasn't a big deal. Ideally, all dishes should come out roughly at the same time so people can have their food at the same time Overall, we had a good time. Will return and try a few of the ceviche dishes ”

“ 10/10 on everything! Absolutely loved trying it out. We went on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was amazing and the food was so delicious. We left our plates CLEAN. Music was nice and not too loud so we were able to talk among us. Family friendly vibe. I recommend the shrimp tacos for sure. ”

“ Randomly stopped by here on our way back to SF, and was so impressed by their seafood dishes! We ordered their torre Marisco (seafood tower), carne asada plate, and fish tacos. Seafood tower was generous with the raw shrimp and seafood. Carne Asada grilled to perfection. I didn’t have the fish tacos but they are double the size of an avg taco and mainly filled with fish and not filler ingredients. Portions are massive across the board at reasonable prices. Highly recommend to scratch that ceviche or aguachile itch! Only mild complaint is that the music is a bit loud so hard for convos but part of the vibe and we were hoping for a few more fish dishes, but overall would 100% come back. ”

“ Stumbled upon this restaurant on a Sunday morning. It is absolutely a hidden gem in the South Bay. The food - phenomenal! The imperial ceviche was perfect! It had the most amount of seafood I have ever seen at a restaurant and the seafood was super fresh! It came with shrimp, octopus, and crab! The Baja style fish tacos were on point as well. It had a fusion take with the spicy mayo dressing on the top. The service and hospitality - amazing. The owner and staffs were so kind and eager to introduce us to various specials and checked in to see if we needed anything else. This restaurant is currently nested in a parking lot operating out of a few food trucks but don’t let this stop you! The food and service is so amazing and the music playing in the background creates such a vibrant atmosphere for dinning. The owner has expressed that he is in process to transition this business to a restaurant! Definitely come support! ”

“ 5/12/25 update *** So glad that they opened a restaurant! Came by Friday and back on Monday. The micheladas were great and the ceviche is so flavorful, perfect level of spicy. I will be back to try their aguachile since the last time I had it they were located on Saratoga. So many delicious options, it’s hard to choose! Can’t wait for the official grand opening! ”
