Fantastic & friendly service, excellent tacos & sides (they’re tortillas are made from scratch everyday & all the meats are house made). The Birria is our favorite They have a variety of drinks (alcoholic & non) and are a gluten free kitchen. A must on the Homer Spit!

Cool place on the water, with other shops next to it. Rockfish and birria tacos really stood out, halibut was okay.

It took me a long time to finally try this place, but now that I have I've been back 5 times this summer! I've tried most of the menu at this point and hope to make it again before they close! My personal favorite is the rockfish tacos, but highly recommend the avocado and the birria as well. The ceviche is a good portion and the chips are well-seasoned. The outside seating is awesome rain or shine and there always seems to be a good crowd.

I had the fried rockfish tacos two years ago and never stopped dreaming of them--even though I live in a place with lots of amazing tacos, none could compare. When I returned to Homer this year I thought there was no way these lil rockfish babies could live up to my memory, but I was WRONG. The corn chip breading is really special. The tacos are massive for the price and even one will fill you up. The service was quick and friendly. Tortillas appeared to be homemade with love. I love the sauce; it needed a bit more heat to me but I am a spice fiend and that could be rectified with some hot sauce which they had available from the stand. Seating is a bit awkward if it's crowded, but the location is top tier. I will never forget this place as long as I live!

We ate at Swell after a long hike. We ordered a lot of food, including avocado, cheeky halibut, and rockfish tacos, as well as elote. Service was incredibly fast and everyone was so friendly and accommodating to children’s picky tastes. Coconut limeade was spectacular - seriously the best meal we’ve had up here! My kids required a second taco and scarfed them down. Thanks for a great experience!
