Karina's Mexican Seafood

Directions Website

Karina's Mexican Seafood Famous for our authentic seafood specialties and traditional favorites, Karina’s brings the vibrant flavors, colors and ambience of Mexico to San Diego.

An insistence upon on-target authenticity guides our restaurants daily, which explains a clientele willing to wait in line to enjoy our all-encompassing menus of Mexican seafood classics. Renowned for an enormous variety of ceviches, Karina's Mexican Seafood offers dozens of coastal and regional dishes, especially from Sinaloa, birthplace of our founder Arnulfo Contreras.
