    Balgarian pretzel- very good & huge
    Andrea V.

    Clean movie theaters and bathrooms, friendly staff, fresh popcorn, variety of snacks and beverages, a bar located inside, and stadium style seating. Only downside about this location is they do not have reclining seats. This theater is located on the northeast end of the mall. There is plenty of free parking available on both side. You're able to pre order your tickets and select your seats online or in person. I recommend their AMC app, makes it easy and convenient to select a movie and even order food/beverages to have ready. I've seen this location really busy a handful of times, but for the most part it's been nice. Theaters are clean and spacious. Food and popcorn has been fresh and good quality. The bar ,Mac Guffins, located inside serves cocktails and beers. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The prices are average and there are discounts for early weekday showings. Overall, great location and nice to watch movies at.

    I'm side the theater

    I've been to many AMC movies and this one so so convenient because I can walk to it in minutes!!! There is ample parking. If you choose to eat before you go there are so many options. It's clean, from what I saw. The concession has the common options like others but this one has a bar!!! The seat are comfortable however if giving the choice and maybe one day they will upgrade to the recliner type chairs. One of the best features is you get to pick your own seat!! Like I always say try if you're in the Otay Ranch area, you may just like it.

    The area is beautiful with plenty of parking. Lots of dining areas before the movie. The staff is friendly and willing to assist. The movie theatre is clean. The chairs are so comfy. I would highly recommend OT Ranch!

    Buttered popcorn!

    Thank you, Jake, for helping me change my seat. I misread the mapping and chose seats too close for us. Darn senior moment!

    Honestly This my Favorite AMC To come here and their food is great especially their hot dog and chicken tenders with their BBQ Sauce and Again Thank You AMC For Letting Me Wear The Ghostface Costume Oh And Sorry About Me walking around the rows my bad and oh if you have the video recording on camera post that on your channel That will be cool and the movie was good and Great Service and Comfortable Seats, GO AMC

    Gross, it's dirty and sticky?  Who know what's crawling under here!!

    What happened to this place? This place needs some SERIOUS DEEP CLEANING, maybe new management!! This place is awful!!, everything is now old--which I could understand; but on top of it, FILTHY, pretty gross!!! And that, is something else!! Please AMC, pay attention to this, immediately. I knew it was bad, I've heard comments, but now those 25-30 min with all the advertisements we must watch before the movie starts, it gives your customers the time to SEE ALL THE ACCUMULATED F I L T H !!! So yes, we are NOT consuming any popcorn, food, candy, etc--and probably will stop coming here too. SAD!!

The real problem was what happened afterward. Five out of the nine people in our party became seriously ill after eating here. My sister and three of the kids experienced severe diarrhea, and I ended up in the ER with severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. I was diagnosed with colitis/inflammation of the colon consistent with foodborne illness. Four days later, I'm still dealing with cramping and difficulty tolerating food. This experience will likely end up costing me over $1,000 in medical expenses between the ER visit, testing, and treatment. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had after eating at a restaurant. I normally would not leave a review like this, but I feel other customers should be aware and the restaurant should investigate its food handling practices.

Have to give a big shoutout to our server, Olympia, who always provides exceptional service. I've been here for a few UFC fight nights and the times I've gone, they didn't charge a cover fee which is nice. Onto the food and drinks, I think Novo has the best non-alcoholic Kombuchas in the city and I don't drink alcohol, so I won't comment on that. The food is great quality and tastes delicious but the only complaint (which is why I didn't give 5 stars) is because for the price they charge, the portion is extremely stingy. I'm sure that's not a kitchen thing, but more of management. My favorite is the Mac and cheese with Brazilian sauce served in a cast iron skillet, definitely on the list of best Mac and cheeses. I would recommend you check it out, happy Yelping!

    I've been coming to Karina's for a very long time, started with the one on broadway in Chula Vista,…read morethen that closed so I made the national city one my go to.....then that closed. So I don't go as often as I used to as the location on Birch is quite a drive. But Friday the 20th my wife and I decided to make the drive because we had a rare day off together and I was craving. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly. GG was our server and I asked her about the shrimp burrito in ranchero sauce because I didn't see it on the menu to which I was given the very sad news that they no longer served it. I'm a creature of habit, and I've been coming to this chain since my early 20s and I always get that burrito with rice and beans. Was very disappointed to find it's no longer a menu item, it was literally what made me make the drive from lakeside. Once getting that news I had to actually look at the menu and find something else. I ordered tha carne asada plate and my wife had the Green enchiladas. I also ordered the ceviche tostada. I was a little worried the carne asada might be thin and dry but it was actually a nice thickness and super tender. I had a bite of the enchiladas too, also really good. Another new thing I noticed is that now chips and salsa are not complimentary, sad. But unfortunately not something new to the restaurant scene as of late.

We did have some issues with the service though. We were seated about an hour after our reservation time and even though we requested outdoor seating, we still ended up inside. Since it was Mother's Day, we tried to be understanding because the restaurant was obviously busy. Our waitress was nice enough, but we did notice other tables around us were getting checked on more often. Again, it seemed like she may have been handling larger parties, so we didn't make a big deal out of it. The food honestly saved the night. My Italian wife said the short rib lasagna was easily one of the top 3 lasagnas she's ever had. That says a lot. My wife got the steak frites and while the steak itself was good, the potato chunks were undercooked. The tiramisu was fantastic too. We didn't mention the potatoes to the server because everything else was going smoothly enough. Overall, despite some service issues, we still enjoyed ourselves and would probably come back again for the food alone.
