Amazing Tacos and Great Vibe!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved the TJ style tacos, especially the tripa tacos made extra crispy. The service was wonderful; the staff was always friendly. Around 10 PM, the club atmosphere kicks in with people enjoying dancing to a mix of music including baccarat, cumbias, salsa, regional Mexican, and RnB. You can never go wrong with an AdiosMF. I also appreciated the staff and the top-notch security.

Favorite Tacos in San Diego!
I absolutely love this place; it's my favorite taco spot in San Diego. The fish taco is delicious, and the rest of the options are very yummy and inexpensive! You just have to try it.

Best Tacos and Family-Friendly Spot!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I found the tacos to be the best in San Diego. I loved the food, the vibe, and the overall place. It was wonderful that we could sit there with our children. Thank you so much for always being so awesome 😎💯.

Amazing Food, Great Staff!
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. The food was amazing, particularly the Pina Tropical, which was delicious and very flavorful. I highly recommend it. While the 24k Royal Gold Margarita was good, I found it overrated for the price and not as strong as expected. However, the staff was amazing, and I will definitely be back. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a 5 out of 5.

Dark Bar with Tight Bathroom Stalls
My experience at this place was characterized by its dark atmosphere, which is understandable as it functions as a bar with an integrated taco shop. They offer karaoke from Monday to Thursday and live music from Friday to Sunday, though there's a cover charge for the live music. A significant drawback was the ladies' bathroom, which has only two stalls that are so tight, it's impossible to comfortably sit down. These stalls were very uncomfortable and awkward.

Fun Mexican Music, Awful Restroom
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a fun place to dance Mexican music and the prices are generally okay, except for the high cover charge. However, the mens restroom was unbelievably awful and nasty. The toilet was just out in the open, which was gross and lacked any class. If the restroom were fixed, it would be a kinda fun place with a dance floor.

Disappointing Return to Old Favorite
A week ago, I went to buy some 'cucarachas' (cockroaches). I hadn't been in years, but they no longer prepare them the same way as before. The presentation doesn't look good either. Perhaps I won't return; they are nothing like they used to be. They weren't even golden. I do not recommend them.

Great Music, Overcharged on Cover
I called ahead to inquire about a cover charge, and the lady informed me it was $10. However, upon arrival, I was charged $14. I did not appreciate being overcharged. Despite this, the music was the best; I enjoyed every song played. The live band was great, and I loved their music. Everyone enjoyed the dance floor. I will definitely be going again, as cumbias and rancheras are some of my favorites.
