    "Papas Dulce" Bowl with steak
    Ele E.

    Good food, fun place and great people. Service was great, accommodated our group and even took pictures for us. Lots of options and even for vegan options.

    The Sangria

    The vibes and the food were amazing! Our bartender was very quick and attentive. Our food took a little longer to come out, but the manager came out, apologized, and personally delivered our food. Definitely recommend this place!

    Fish tacos

    Excellent. We had lunch here and everything was fantastic. I personally found the guac and my lunch not salted enough but that wasn't an issue since they had salt on their table! Great location and ambiance!

    Cesar salad with beef
    Crystal C.

    We were visiting Coronado and looking for a place to watch the FIFA games. The food was delicious, but I wouldn't consider it authentic Mexican cuisine. It's more of a modern, Americanized take on Mexican food. That said, the cheese balls on my salad were absolutely delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a drink. The service, however, could have been more attentive. We had several different servers during our visit, so I never really knew who our main waiter was. We even had to flag someone down just to get our bill. Overall, the food was good, the ambiance was enjoyable, and it's a great place to grab drinks and watch a game. With more attentive service, it would have been an even better experience.

    Empanadas- pineapple
    Tae S.

    Came here with a big group and everything was fantastic. The service was prompt, helpful and everything flowed nicely. The food was full of flavor. We had a ton of appetizers. We tried the queso, guacamole, and Mexican pizzas (short rib and margarita) everything was tasty. I ordered a combo which consisted of the short rib enchilada, carnitas taco and the fish taco. The fish taco was devine, the enchilada made me want to lick the plate and the carnitas was very tender. The rice that comes with the meals is a hidden gem. Everyone as the table made comments on how tasty the rice was. For desert, the server recommended pineapple empanadas and I was skeptical. However, they were great. I would come here again, I may stop by before I leave tomorrow.

    Some of the best Mexican food in the San Diego area in my opinion.My chicken tinga enchilada, cheese enchilada, and chile verde enchilada were all very tasty, and so were the sauce. chips and salsa. The guacamole was also excellent. One of the best cadillac margaritas I've had as well. Prices are a bit on the higher side , but the food quality sure makes up for it .

    Everything I had here was delicious! My watermelon margarita was amazing. We had both chips and guac, and I enjoyed the freshness of the guacamole. I had two mahi tacos and after a week of good eating, I could barely finish them. That being said, I did eat the fish out of the tortilla, and it was very fresh and yummy.

    There was a bit of a wait on a Thursday night, about 25 minutes and they text you when your table is ready. Most of the food was pretty good and I got the cheese crisps just out of curiosity but I would never recommend that dish to anyone. It's basically a disappointing and really sad tortilla with cheese on top. It would probably be great for kids though and people who don't need seasoning. It was a bit hard to get the server's attention but overall it was an ok dining experience.

    Tres leches
    Dung N.

    I've been meaning to check this eatery out and finally did so a couple of years ago. The space is inviting and staff are friendly. We were given complimentary chips and salsa and then ordered some drinks that came with watermelon garnish. We shared the spicy mango ceviche and a cheese crisp for our appetizers. Both were delicious! The cheese crisp was very interesting! We opted for the spicy tiger shrimp fajitas for our entree. It's served with blistered peppers, charred onions, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa fresca, sour cream, choice of beans and tortillas. It was very tasty! We ended up trying frozen margarita and an agua fresca as well. The frozen margarita is so refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake and it was the perfect ending to our dinner.

    Love this restaurant! They have lots of seating area inside & outdoors but it's busy with locals & tourists. We sat at the bar and ordered or else the wait was over an hour for a table. We enjoyed the ceviche and the carne asada quesadilla. They give chips & salsa and yes they are yummy. Lots of fun people to see and the bar has TVs with sports playing. It gets very loud inside and it's very kid friendly. Bartenders are spot on and very friendly. It's a great place to come grab a bite to eat & drink.

    Chips & Salsa

    We spotted this cantina and restaurant while visiting the AR Workshop in Coronado. We decided to try them out while waiting for the rest of our party members for our appointment at AR Studio. I walked up to the take out window and ordered. A young gentleman helped me. He said that my food would be out in 12-15 minutes. Well, I found a table on the side if the catina and set my things down. I noticed that the staff had also used these tables to meet with the managers or employees, and to eat their lunch break meals. AT NO TIME DID ANYONE ON THE STAFF TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE SITTING IN THE AREA TO BE SERVED ON THE CATINA PATIO. My food took 22 minutes and I had to walk back up to the window to retrieve it...WTH I tipped 15% at a walk up window and you all can't walk it to my sidewalk table 10 feet away? The rest of our party started to arrive so they decided to also order food. Luckily, their food was ready in 10 minutes. The staff delivered their orders to our table, which made more sense. Overall, it was OK. My wet carne asada burrito no sour cream, diet pepsi, and chips with salsa was tasty but definitely not worth the $30 pricetag. I will not visit again. The customer service was spotty and the whole dining at the sidewalk tables for staff situation was not cool.

    Crispy Shell Ground Beef & Traditional Carnitas tacos ($7/each HH menu)
    Gina Z.

    While visiting Coronado, I stopped for dinner and happened to arrive during the restaurant's happy hour: Monday to Friday from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty dope. They have an outdoor seating area blended with indoor seating. The decor was stunning. I loved the wallpaper and light fixtures. The tunes were bumpin'. The restaurant wasn't surprisingly too busy and was pretty family-friendly. I was so excited to take a bite into my first CA tacos! As I settled in and opened the menu, full transparency: I was shocked to see the "happy hour specials: $7 tacos"... regularly $14!? Thinking these HAD to be next-level incredible, I stopped judging and ordered two "Birria" tacos, two "traditional Carnitas" tacos, and a "crispy shell Ground Beef" taco. We paired our tacos with their "Classic" house Margarita. Chips and salsa were brought to the table with our drinks, and we enjoyed those for a bit before the food came out. I wish I were writing this to report that I had the best tacos of my life, but sadly, that's not the case. The Birria taco had an excessive amount of untrimmed fat in the meat, which made each bite unpleasant and forced me to spit out pieces I couldn't chew. This made the overall texture unappealing and the experience disappointing. Not my preferred way to enjoy my tacos. I don't believe this was an issue of happy hour pricing, but rather poor food preparation. I was only able to finish one taco and took the other to-go. As for the traditional carnitas taco, it was okay but lacked anything that set it apart. I say this with kindness, but if you've had a TB crunchy taco supreme, you've tried this restaurant's crispy shell ground beef taco. The classic margaritas were strong and well made. We thoroughly enjoyed them! If you asked me, would I go back for seconds? I'd likely not reorder the tacos. For the price, I expected higher-quality preparation and presentation; instead, it fell short. Personally, I'm glad I visited during Happy Hour. I'd file this one under cool place for drinks and a light bite, if you must.

    Very welcoming Mexican food establishment. Seating was fast, as they have a spacious dining area, large wrap around bar and outside dining options. Wait staff was lovely, and our cocktails kept us thirsty! We certainly left content.

We had chips and salsa while we waited so it was cool. Overall, I recommend checking this out and trying the chipotle shrimp and salmon taco!

It looked good, and I liked the chilled and covered salsa bar, but the burrito had no cabbage or pico de gallo. It tasted like a kind of salty egg burrito. The flavor was off. My son had a few tacos. He liked the Birria taco. I purchased a horchata for him, a small water bottle for myself. After our meal in the heat, we both wanted more water. The cashier said that the small water bottles were $3.90 each. (Something I missed the first time around) We left without the water bottles to walk blocks in the heat with a weird taste in my mouth from the fish burrito. The prices were the same as a nicer place with decor and air conditioning.

Umami Brussels Sprouts (10/10) - The best Brussels sprouts I've had in San Diego so far! They had a nice crisp to them and weren't too oily or anything, but had a LOT of flavor, which I love. It didn't just taste dry and salty like Brussels sprouts sometimes can. Definitely one of my favorites. Molten Butter Cake (10/10) - This dessert is an angel food cake with pretzel toffee and caramel inside, then it goes in the oven to get warm before being brought out and topped with vanilla bean gelato and caramel. It was so well balanced. It looked really sweet, but because of how balanced all the flavors were, it didn't actually taste overly sweet. I don't even like caramel and it was SO good in this. The outside was soft, and the toffee and pretzel inside gave it a nice crunch. I really liked the combination of the soft cake with the crunchy pretzel toffee. Wagyu Cheeseburger with fries (8.5/10) - The patty had a smoky, grilled type of flavor that was really yummy. It was a good portion and was made really well. The fries were also a decent addition as a side choice. Egg Sandwich (8.5/10) - Pretty basic, but really well made and put together. The bun was a bit toasted, so it wasn't super soft and had a slight crispness to it, which I liked. The flavors were really well balanced and it was honestly so good. Service: The best service! Even when it wasn't a staff member in charge of our table, we were frequently checked on and everyone was super attentive and conversational, which made the experience a lot more personal and better. I love being able to share a laugh and have a conversation with the staff. The staff member responsible for our table was Heider, and he was super attentive, helpful, conversational, and patient. We also loved meeting Sasha! She's super nice and conversational as well. Thank you for having us! Ambiance: Such a nice restaurant inside and outside. We got the patio high top seating and it was really nice. It was hot out, but the big umbrella helped. It's super busy, but it still felt nice outside, and everything looked super clean and aesthetic. Really nice vibes overall.
