    We really like the options on the menu, different and new things to taste. The service was really good, but not outstanding. The place it’s kinda small, on the inside it’s very loudly, but in general it’s good. I would recommend it, pretty good option to choose in San Diego!

    We were there mid afternoon Christmas Day. It wasn’t to crouched and the service was good. Food was great. They have a nice patio dining area and an open air bar that were fairly quiet, but I did notice inside was kind of noisy due to all hard surfaces. Overall very nice experience.

    Arrived and we were greeted immediately with a smile. Being this was our first visit we guided to the counter where all dishes we displayed. We opted to share a dish as portions were generous. We ordered the Tocho-Morocho which included Chilaquiles Verdes, Tamal Gratinado Huevos Ranchos, Refried Bean and added Carnitas. Food was served hot and so flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit!
