We were visiting San Diego and also had our wedding anniversary. We decided to come here and it was honestly a great experience. We were quickly greeted and quickly seated. Everyone who helped us, served us, talked to us were so kind and very helpful. The food was fantastic and drinks were perfect. We already can’t wait to visit again next year and come back. Thank you for making our night so sweet

I give this place the Mexican seal of approval! From the moment we walked in we received great customer service. Bottomless mimosas and amazing food options for only 32usd per person.
