If you’re in the area, you have to stop here and enjoy this place. We came here while on vacation in the area and I can’t wait to come back. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The location was great and we loved the ambience of the restaurant.

Very nice outdoor patio with flavor of old Mexico. Good place to sample your tequila coctails. Loved the Casmigos Reposado Tequila San Miquel style. Many tacos to choose from. Highly recommend the ox tail tacos, you won’t be disappointed. Overall good setting, food, and service

We have been enjoying Casero for a while and we were excited to see new items at the menu, which is beautiful by the way.

Beautiful patio and indoor facility for American Mexican fare. The birria taco was oily and salty, the veggie taco was somewhat interesting, and the grilled fish taco was flavorless and served with a sweet sauce that did nothing to enhance the dish. Chips were crisp. Salsa tasted like something from a jar. Interesting mocktail list. Service was friendly and efficient. The patio was very nice with a pleasant view.

Great mexican food. The tacos and ceviche were amazing. However, the wait to be seated was very long, even though it was a weekday afternoon and didn’t seem busy.

We had the best time here today! This was honestly the best Mexican food we had on our trip to the San Diego area. Our server, Chris, was also so friendly and sweet! We loved chatting with him – he was a great server. ALL of the food was delicious and so beautiful! I also had the Cozumel paloma and it was muy delicioso.

Super Bummed Out!!! Used to LOVE this place. This place has great ambiance, perfect outdoor patio with great booth seating AND the best house margaritas, amazing salsa and guacamole (used to have really great chips). However, NOW they have changed their menu, increased the prices, reduced the portion sizes and not worth the amount you will have to pay. I mean they went from 3 shrimps to 2 shrimps in their tacos, it’s ridiculous.
