I LOVE the drag show at Fresco’s! It’s the best!! I have also had dinner and lunch there on separate occasions and the food was delicious, great tacos. The sangria was ON POINT, and def delivers a great buzz! lol! My only disappointment this time around was that I ordered the churro French toast and despite letting my server know that I wanted my eggs cooked well with crispy bacon, my order did not come out that way, my friend had the same issue with her order and when she asked if the eggs could be cooked more,the waiter was visibly annoyed and told her it would take 20 minutes. I did not eat the eggs or the bacon on my plate. I don’t usually complain about things like this but if I ask for my food a certain way it’s because I like it that way, and I always let the server know when I order so I won’t have to send things back, as I know it adds work to an already busy kitchen.Everyone else at my table received their food the way they ordered it and were pleased with their meals, guess I won’t order that dish again. I will def return because I love this establishment and will always support, but I was underwhelmed with my meal this time around. Next time I’ll have the tacos!

What began as a delightful, delicious meal (the shredded beef and chicken enchilada dishes were each sensational enough to please this former resident of San Diego) transformed to a raucous and rollicking good time following the loud dance beats and the commencement of a fabulous and entertaining drag show. Thank you for making a birthday dinner for two an incredible night to remember! Outstanding!
