George's Ocean Terrace

1250 Prospect Street
La Jolla, CA 92037

Occasion: Sunday brunch before we leave SD to return to SFO. 08.29.10 for a party of six

Chips and Salsa
We were starving, so we asked for a light appetizer to start the meal off.  It was good, btu nothing spectacular about it. It was just a good little filler before our food came.
Five spiced chicken salad with napa cabbage, bean sprouts, snowpeas, carrots, basil, peanuts, sesame, honey soy vinaigrette and crisp wontons.
Carmen ordered this.  I was not about the salad on this trip. I wanted to eat real food. I got to try a little bit of it.  It tasted like asian chicken salad in a sweet vinaigrette sauce.  It was decent, but I'm not a big fan of cabbage so my judgement could be skewed.  It just wasn't what I wanted that morning.  I guess it's good for those looking for a light lunch.

Marinated and Grilled Fresh Fish Tacos with mango salsa, jalapeno-lime creme fraiche, guacamole and shredded cabbage
This was highly recommended by our waiter. He said it was their most popular and most ordered dish. Ella and Donna ordered it. I got to share it with Ella, since we are both greedy and wanted to split and share what we each ordered. The waiter was right, it was so pretty darn good fish tacos.  The mango salsa was amazing and very refreshing. I would have never thought to have mango salsa on my taco.


Halibut Special
Not on the menu. Heard it was seasonal. SOOOO DELICIOUS. It was served on a bed of corn topped with some kind of seasoned chopped tomatoes. There was a wasabi based sauce and the other orangish sauce was some kind of tomato base I think. Both were good, but I thought the tomatoe based sauce was just a little bit too salty for my liking. This was my favorite thing there. I would definitely recommend it if it's on their special again. I enjoyed every bite of it!


Ceviche with shrimp and avocado
This was another appetizer filler that came...actually during our meal. We were just so stuffed by everything. It was hard to enjoy this.
