Good Portions, Great Service
I've visited this restaurant a few times when I wanted a simple meal. It's worth going to and not very pricey. While it might not be the best in San Diego, if you're in the area, the service is great and they did a good job on the scenery. The food has good portions. I recommend the enchiladas and the soups.

New Hillcrest Favorite - Great Service!
We weren’t really sure where to go in the neighborhood for a quick drink and snack. We were very fortunate to have decided on Huapangos. We were greeted by Arian who was on the patio and made us feel right at home. He brought us the best chips, salsa, and queso per his recommendation. This is our new Hillcrest favorite and we can’t wait to come back. Arian also mentioned December Nights to us; a nearby event that we just added to our itinerary. Thank you Huapangos!

Favorite Mexican Spot!
My experience at this family-owned restaurant was amazing! The food and service were both incredible. I also enjoyed the great happy hour. It's my favorite Mexican place in the area.

Delicious Soup and Friendly Service!
I was craving soup and decided to stop in at this place since they have a cute patio right on the corner. The chips and salsa were delicious, along with my tortilla soup. My server was very friendly and helpful in food suggestions. I will definitely be back!

Amazing Classy Mexican Experience!
My girlfriend and I dined here 2 nights ago and it was an amazing experience. The owner's son turned the lights down low and put some authentic music on. With the decor and the service, I felt like I was in a classy restaurant in Mexico. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. The mole was the best I’d had in San Diego. Had an amazing conversation with the owner's son when we paid the bill and we had a lot to relate to. I highly recommend a visit and we will no doubt be back!

Underrated Gem with Authentic Mexican
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently great over the years. It's a highly underrated spot that I've been returning to for a long time. The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming, and the staff is always attentive. The food is great, especially if you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, not fusion or typical taco shop fare. The bottomless brunch is definitely a winner!

Terrible Service, Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The food was not good, and the service was terribly slow. Although there was no wait and we were seated immediately, our food took about 45 minutes to arrive. We also experienced no drink refills. For a party of 4 plus a child, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill. While the host who sat us was very nice, we have no idea who our server was.

Wonderful Solo Dining Experience
I had a wonderful solo dining experience. The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the margaritas were delicious, made with fresh juice. I’d love to go back someday, as I was just visiting.

GO TO Sunday Funday Spot!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing! The staff is incredible, and the food is out of this world. The vibes are immaculate, making it the perfect GO TO Sunday funday spot. And yes, they have bottomless mimosas! If you want to hear a song, just ask, and they'll blast it for you. Just be sure to be ready to split the bill, girl!

Terrible Experience, No Flavor, Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was TERRIBLE. We faced a wait of over 40 minutes for our food, and during that time, we received no updates. Our drinks were not refilled until our food finally arrived, and we felt completely ignored. To make matters worse, the "birria ramen" had absolutely NO FLAVOR, leaving one member of our group without breakfast. Adding to the poor service and food quality, we were automatically charged a 20% gratitude. We are NEVER COMING BACK and suggest you take this review seriously before giving them your business.
