Today we are celebrating preschool back in sesh so we came over to Tremont Street in Oceanside for #tacos and #beer over @shootzfishxbeer Their menu changes daily based on their fresh catch, but you can find tacos, poke, sushi, musubi and other great noms on their menu. And their selection of beers -- omg! So many on tap, plus a market selection to buy to bring home for later! I love that they give an option for 4oz pours, so if you're a lightweight like me, you won't feel wasteful. Or you can try multiple options that way, kinda like building your own flight at 2-4 per beer. I tried the Blueberry Cobbler Muffin, and it really did taste like a dessert with slight sour blueberry notes. Stephen got the Bandon, which was a rich coffee flavored Irish stout. Today's catch was Opu, so we tried that in the fish taco and it was so good. It's a more buttery fish, and they seasoned it so nicely so the fresh original fish flavor still came through. The baja style shrimp taco had such a nice beer batter too. One of the specials today was a kalua pork sando using bread from their neighbors @hokkaido_bread_company and we added fried jalapenos to it. Perfectly smoky, juicy kalua just the way I love it. They have seating out front and inside too, but their back patio is really nice. Would be nice to hang out there with friends over drinks in the summer. We definitely want to go back to try more

Shootz is amazing. Great food, locally sourced and very fresh. Had the Baja style shrimp taco, musubi, bacon mac salad, and furikake poki. Each item was very flavorful and well executed. The portions are very small. When we were done I couldn't help but think that I could have ordered alot more, because it was SO good. But was grateful that we didn't later because we would have been over stuffed! Bottlecraft shares the space so there are hundreds of great beers available. Also, there's a cool outdoor back patio that is dog friendly. Unfortunately there were not many non-alcoholic drink options for my teenage son. Just a couple craft soda and lemonade options, since bottlecraft is the beverage supplier for Shootz. Was also very pricey food for the portion sizes. But hey, I guess you get what you pay for because food was top notch. Service was also good and very friendly staff all around. If I could afford to, I'd eat here multiple times a week! Will definitely be back. Alot.

Quality & Atmosphere is UP THERE! A little pricey, but man their food here is top-tier quality. Best fish tacos in town Oceanside. Check it out asap!

Food was phenomenal! I tried the poke bowl, shrimp taco, and tuna roll, and they were all delicious. A little on the pricey side, but not unusual for the area and worth the quality. The place also has a great vibe and the beer selection was on point.

My husband and I stumbled upon Shoots Fish and Beer this past weekend while passing through Oceanside, and we’re so glad we did! After a long drive home from up north, this spot was the perfect find. The bearded bartender (wish I remembered his name lol) was incredibly kind and made us feel so welcome, which isn’t always the case when we dine out. While they don’t serve hard alcohol, their creative drink remakes were delicious, and we loved the option to buy drinks from their store to enjoy either outside or at the bar. The outdoor seating is lovely, and the vibe is relaxed and inviting. We’ll be back the next time we’re craving a laid-back atmosphere and great service.

Yep, loved this spot. We had almost every taco on the menu and enjoyed every one—the shrimp especially. The batter on that one was doing the damn thing. Moreover, they had a really nice selection of beers and wines by the glass as well as a great little shop if you wanted to take the party home. Truly worth a visit!

I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while and it did not disappoint. Went with my wife and fur child. Ordered a Fishwish, Pescaderos and San Miguel tacos. Didn’t try the fishwish but it looked delish. The tacos were on point, lots of flavor. We left early because the weather turned and got cold. Great vibe, the Gals working there were awesome and welcoming. Shot out to the chef for accommodating and creating deliciousness. Definitely going back!

Had fish tacos and some drinks here. You order food separate from the bar. It came out quickly and it was so fresh and fantastic. They had a number of beers and wine on tap. They also had some items in their little market including bottles of wine and other gear. The seating is somewhat limited but it's right by the beach so I'm sure you can find somewhere to sit and enjoy the ocean.
