The food was good . I had a quesadilla with carne assada that would serve two people . The margarita was just ok , nothing special. The service was good. The place was crowded due to Comicon. The decor was really cool
Great food, I had the potato taco and the shrimp taco and they were both amazing. The server Rico was funny and attentive. Overall enjoyed my time there.
This is a cool place to come and have some good Mexican food. Downtown San Diego. The memorabilia up on the wall draws you in. The music was a little too loud but that's because I'm old. The margaritas a little too expensive but that's because I'm cheap. They do not disappoint and straight to the Head.That's the vibe here turn up ,turn loud, and turn loose. Can't go wrong with anything your order. Complementary salsa and chips ???????? must visit!!
