Disappointing Food, Good Service
I did not like my experience. I ordered a chile relleno with an enchilada, and the seasoning was not to my liking. The music was also too loud.
The service was good; they were attentive and checked if we needed anything. However, the food was a 2/10.

Nothing Special, Food Sucked
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food sucked, and I felt it was a waste of time. There are waaaay better places to go eat in San Diego.
Honestly, there was nothing special here at all.

Live Music and Family Fun
I really enjoyed the live music on the weekends at this place! We visited on a busy Saturday evening, which happened to be Mother's Day. Despite the crowd, we were able to enjoy the Banda playing inside while seated comfortably on the outside patio, where we could still hear the music well.
The food did take longer than usual to arrive due to the busy night. Overall, it was a nice experience, and my kids enjoyed their meals. They also have mariachi on Sundays.
I would revisit just for the music!

Mixed Feelings: Okay Food, Bad Horchata
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food was fine, but nothing amazing. However, the horchata tasted gross.
It also seems they don't have a lunch menu. The service was rated a 3, and the atmosphere a 4.

Great Food, Service, and Entertainment!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The customer service was great, and the food was delicious. It's a great place to come and enjoy a drag show every Wednesday, and they also have Banda every Friday and Saturday.
The atmosphere was rated a 5, service a 5, and food a 5, with plenty of free parking available.

Excellent food and family atmosphere!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food had an unequaled flavor. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, and they have events at night.
I especially loved the Wednesday nights with the artist impersonators – they are the best!

Spectacular Service and Delicious Food!
I had such a great experience at this place. The food is delicious and fresh. They have a beautiful bar stocked with very nice offerings.
Alex took care of me at the bar and gave me spectacular service, with cool suggestions. I liked the music they were playing, but he mentioned that there is live music at night. I will be back for one of those nights!

Delicious Birria Tacos & Chimichanga!
I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop and give this place a try. Our server, Alex, was more than wonderful, offering great recommendations and providing exceptional service throughout our entire visit. My friend and I ordered the birria tacos and a chimichanga combo.
Both dishes were delicious and served in very large portions. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Horrible Experience, No Flavor, Bad Service
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. The food has gone really bad; it used to be good, but not anymore. There is literally no flavor on the food.
The server tried to charge us for extra items that we didn’t even get or order. This behavior and actions are unacceptable and not right. We were also forced to pay over $60 on tip for a server that didn’t even provide acceptable customer service.
This was my first and last time coming here. The only good thing was the music; other than that, it was a horrible experience.

Disappointing Experience with Hair and Plastic
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I initially overlooked finding a long brunette hair in my horchata, choosing not to ask for a refund or make a fuss. However, when I opened my California burrito and discovered it had no pico de gallo, I politely requested it be added.
To my dismay, the first bite of my burrito contained a piece of plastic. While I'm sure a future visit might be better, it won't be anytime soon. Further, as I continued to eat, I found the burrito was lacking flavor.
I will not be returning.
