Delicious Mexican food, we tried a bit of everything and it was all really good. The poloze hit the spot and the guacamole was really fresh. Salsa was tasty.
This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the downtown San Diego area. Great environment, the food is amazing and the drink selection is plentiful. There’s always a great crowd, everyone is friendly, the staff are efficient and welcoming. The place is clean, safe, and the food portion size is more than most anyone could eat at one setting. The house made salsa is incredible, along with the tortilla chips. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, I visit this place every time I’m in San Diego.
Cool place with great food and friendly service. We went before a Padres game and it was pretty packed, but the bar staff was friendly and attentive. Great surf and turf tacos and good frozen margaritas. Highly recommend when in Gaslamp. … More
