    We had not been to the Fish House in a while! Used to go all the time….we will make it our go to seafood restaurant again for sure! And it is close to home since we live in San Marcos! Scrumptious from start to finish! And portion size was appreciated greatly!

    We had a reservation for 8:00pm - we arrived at 8:15 and they were closed. They said they close at 8:00. They should not let open table do reservations when they are closed. Very frustrating when you drive 20 mins to the location to find out they are closed.

    We haven't been there for a few months, and brought friends who had never been. We had great service by Cecelia and we all thought the food was delicious.

    We love Fish House Vera Cruz. Service is fast. Love the hot out of the oven bread. We’ve always enjoyed the food here. Never had any issues.

    We were searching Open Table for a place to eat dinner with our 5 year old grandson and found the Fish House Vera Cruz. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Family friendly, fair prices, good food. We will go again the next time we’re in town.
