Wonderful Mexican bistro! Great inside space. Lovely outdoor space. Very friendly staff. Great menu. On University away from the hustle.
Let's start off by saying that the Google pictures alone helped us picked this place.... We got here we where greeted upon arrival, the location it self looks extremely beautiful and upper class Mexican restaurant a true Bistro look to it. Pics of some attached, very inviting and from what we saw they where dog friendly in the patio area. The food it's self was amazing presantaion, taste great and feels you up. Only thing I can actually say is that the salsa would be better if it was not blended for the chip's Yes they serve you chips... Great service. Overall if I lived here in San Diego I be here a lot and will be here next time we are in town. By the way there is a Pic of the restroom here and if it's kept this beautiful I can imagine how clean the kitchen is.
This restaurant is a short walking distance from the Hillcrest Hill Bed & Breakfast where we were staying. We arrived at 5 pm during happy hour (3-6 pm) and enjoyed delicious sangrias and tacos! The shrimp tacos were excellent and with two tacos and beans it was more than enough for dinner. Excellent service as well.
