Reviews for Balboa's Tap House in San Diego, CA
They?ve got a great beer selection and also a fair amount of tasty cocktails available. The food is decent?I like the chicken... shawarma bowl and falafel wrap the most. A lot of people come here to watch sports games, which is fun if you?re into that.Prices for beer aren?t too crazy either. The only thing that detracts from this place is how ridiculously?almostcartoonishly?loud the televisions are. Sometimes two on either side of the room are playing different things as well. You canbarely think in here let alone hold a conversation. If you?re not here for a game, it?s best to eat/drink outside. Read more
Great selection of beers and other drinks. Their hard kombucha here was beyond refreshing! Good burgers and garlic fries with... home made garlic sauce were phenomenal. Very attentive and genuine service here. Highly recommend! Read more
Really enjoyed our afternoon beers here. Outside seating was a nice touch. You order at the counter and they bring it out to... you. Service was fast, beers cold and delicious. All is right in the world while you're here. Read more
This place is a surprise! I wasn?t sure from the outside and location BUT it?s amazing and the service was fantastic! I ordered... the jalapeño burger and will 100% be back again! It was cooked to perfection, dripping in sauce that I soaked my fries up in, atoasted bun! Every single bite was perfection and I?m not usually a burger girl! Hats off! Read more
Beef Shawarma Fries... Hot hand cut fries topped generously with delicious seasoned shawarma, tahini, garlic sauce, tomatoes,... red onion, feta cheese, parsley and some hot peppers omg my mouth is watering. Seriously, this is it, the legit stuff, made bythose who know, all for your mouth and face. Balboa's has always had amazing staff, huuuuuuge beer/wine/liquor selections, buttheir food has been.... mediocre at best. Now that they are cooking shawarma (chicken too!) that you can have on fries orchips?!?! OMG you really need to try them. The place has also improved over the years, it feels more of a nice atmospherealmost classy but with enough TVs and sports to make any fan feel at home instantly. Did I mention the shawarma fries? Lovethe family that runs this place, their beer is legit as well which you can also purchase. They are very kind and hospitableeven to the occasional rowdy sports fans (Eagles/Boston fans you know who you are). 10/10, will repeat multiple times just fordat Shawarma!!! Read more
We just left here 5 minutes ago and I literally couldn't wait to post about how amazing the food we ate was! I got the gyro... plate and was huge! I have enough food to eat tonight and tomorrow. The saffron rice was delicious and cooked just right. Thegyro meat was flavorful and had just the perfect amount of tender and crispy parts. The Iraqi salad was so fresh, it tasted likeit had just been chopped per order. My husband got the fried chicken burger with buffalo sauce and omg it was so crispy andjuicy. It's a massive, hand-breaded chicken breast and it's served with hand-cut fries that were cooked perfectly. The beerselection was out of this world, with a fair amount on tap. We will definitely be back again! Read more

I had a great time at Balboa Tap House! The jalapeno burger paired nicely with the Grouchy IPA. The Julian Apple Pie Cider was... great for dessert. Thank you Ryan, Jolie, and Adan (sp) for making me feel welcome here! And thanks to Keith for the MysticHaze, and other local brews at Jimbo's next door. Read more
