The chicken fajita came out sizzling was very flavorful. Quality meat, fresh guacamole and vegetables. I wasn’t a fan of the tortillas, to thin. Chips and salsa was okay.

Very slow service. Decent food. Excellent location. Homemade chips but ate either cooked to long or the oil needs changing. $20 burrito and the beans and rice are on the inside, not as a side.

The food portions are big. Lots of variety on the menu, which includes a nice margarita selection. I had a combination plate which was mostly good, except the taco that was extremely hard and flavorless. We visited at 5pm, so it wasn’t too busy. We were never served any water or drinks until we requested a waiter to come to the table. When he arrived he seemed sort of annoyed that we asked for a waiter to be sent over.

Beautiful, clean restaurant with the best Mexican food in San Diego. JC Dwight was a great waiter. Didn’t wait for anything. Food was delish. Medium house margarita was plenty 😉 leftover food for tomorrow. Will def be back next visit to area. One negative is parking lot is a pita. Mariachi band was a nice touch 🙂

Everything was super! 4 of us came about 4 pm on a Saturday and were able to walk in and get seated immediately. The drinks were all very tasty, and the food was decently sized portions also great taste. The chips and salsa before service were hot and delicious. It’s super colorful inside and out. And the staff is very attentive. It does get super busy around 5-6 when we were leaving. There was a line out the door. Plus, the parking isn’t the greatest it’s a tight squeeze for larger vehicles.

The food was OK very overpriced but the tortillas were really good. Only thing is is if you got fajitas they only give you two tortillas and then they want to charge you extra for tortillas. It’s the same with chips and salsa, and I found it odd that they didn’t have any chili con queso. The largest margarita they had was very big but it’ll cost you
