Came here Wednesday morning, service was not friendly. The only lady there had a passive aggressive attitude almost like transactional kindness. She was forcing a smile after noticing we were uncomfortable. The tables were all empty and she wanted my party of 3 to cram into a 2 top. My friend had to sit at his own table alone lol ! She checked up on us one time towards the end of our meal, no water or napkins throughout. Food was okay there are way better spots in San Diego. I had the steak and eggs and every meat bite was overly chewy. The potatoes had the most flavor out of everything.

The food is really good! I ordered the red chilaquiles with chorizo and the sauce is so flavorful. Also, I order the machaca plate and it was great They also have coffee refills. Service is excellent, the waitress are nice and friendlyi highly recommend this place

Cajeta French Toast
Justina L.

On Maps, it was named "Coleta" but located in a cute little market was Casa Brava and it was a perfect brunch to end our San Diego trip! We came pretty early around 9am ish and the staff was very seeet and attentive. The food was bomb, we had a hard time choosing between sweet and savory so we got both lol. But we only took pics of the seeet brunch!

Banana french toast with strawberries
Jasmine N.

Came for brunch for my friend's birthday, she got sat immediately. The restaurant was smaller than we originally had thought but it's in a food hall and i think they had tables scattered. The staff were really nice, they were constantly checking on us to see if everything was okay. My friend got the chipotle chilaquiles and they were so good i wanted to steal her food. I got the banana french toast and added strawberries, I wasn't too much of a fan. But I don't normally get french toast, so that could just be a personal preference. They did add a lot of strawberries though.

Offers very delicious food with very interesting and fun atmosphere, located in the heart on Market on 8th.

Café de olla

This place never disappoints! Chipotle Chilaquiles are always my go to! The cafe de olla is perfect. We also tried the shrimp poblano omelette and it was so flavorful! Service is always great, they are constantly checking on you to see if you need anything. It's a small spot and fills quickly but definitely worth waiting.

Mixed Experience - Good Food but Slow Service and One Miss We stopped by Casa Bravo inside Market on 8th on, there were only a couple of other tables, so we were seated right away. That was a plus! I ordered the chicken torta, and it was honestly fantastic. The grilled chicken was super juicy (not dry at all), perfectly seasoned with great flavor, and the chipotle aioli was spot-on - creamy and spicy without overpowering everything. My husband got the chilaquiles, which he really enjoyed. The sauce had tons of bold, authentic flavor, and the tortilla strips stayed nice and crunchy - no sogginess here. Both our plates came with house potatoes that were outstanding: crispy on the outside, flavorful, and a highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, not everything hit the mark. My son ordered the kids' French toast, and it was a disappointment - very dry and way too heavy on the cinnamon seasoning. He barely touched it. Service was the biggest downside. Even though the place was nearly empty and there seemed to be only one server, everything took forever - from getting drinks to the check. Our waiter didn't seem particularly enthusiastic or attentive, which made the slow pace even more noticeable. Overall the dishes were good but it just didn't do it for us.

Tried Casa Brava inside Market on 8th and it's such a hidden gem. I had the mollete for the first time and the bread was incredibly soft and flavorful. The Caleta French toast was my favorite -- perfectly sweet with rich caramel flavor. Great spot for Mexican brunch, cute atmosphere, and definitely worth checking out. I'll be back!

I've been here a few times now, and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is excellent, the staff is always welcoming and attentive. If you stop by, you have to try the café de olla (with free refills!). I'm excited to keep coming back and try more from the menu.

Steak and eggs
Bravo M.

Casa Brava serves a serious Mexican brunch. From the chorizo Benedicts to the churro French toast, there's so much to choose from and it all hits. Love it.

Conch it's
Stephanie D.

Loved the brunch here! Their dishes were flavorful and they make delicious salsa! We enjoyed trying their pancakes, omelette & torta! It's the perfect spot for the family or to meet friends! They have plenty of seating and their team was friendly and made sure we had a great meal! Would recommend for locals or tourists! Parking was easy, plenty of street parking in the area

We decided to stop here on an evening after the football game. I have to say that Yelp Elite Shay…read moreis correct, they have really good roll tacos here. My husband had the torta and he said that it was also very good. I like how they have the salsa bar and they keep it very clean and tidy. There is also a note giving patrons a warning to make sure that they leave it tidy. This is great customer service. Our food was delicious. I really enjoyed it and so did my husband. We actually have gone back an another time and the food was also very good at that visit recently. Two visits in September, you know we like it and it must be good.

Best Rolled Tacos in the Game! Hands Down. 6/5…read more It's been tried and it's been true. Where else can you get fresh AF, juicy, beef rolled tacos that are rolled and fried to order? I'm waiting.... I'll put La Lomitas rolled tacos up against anybody's, ANYBODY'S! Covered in freshly made, still green guacamole, tomatoes, and shredded cheese, these bad boys are smackin'! $9.25 for 5 rolled tacos isn't terrible, but you might as well phone a friend on some Who Wants to Be a Millionaire type ish and order that 12 pack for $16.99. Ya feel me? If you don't, you will. And don't forget to peep out all of the accoutrements at the salsa bar-4 different salsas, pickled red onions, limes, radishes, and hot carrots, all gratis my amigo. Say whaaaaaat!? Yes, they kindly ask that you don't go overboard and request you take only 2 salsas per item, but just don't be greedy and you should be fine. The salsa bar was super clean and the salsas were delicious. I've also had carne asada fries here (always ask for extra crispy) and they're delicious as well. If you're not asking for your carne asada fries to be extra crispy at any taco shop, you're just doing it wrong. Enjoy my friends! Thanks to La Lomita and crew for coming through again. You guys really shine.

You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

It's a bit of a smaller place with a few booths inside and some tables/booths outside. It was a nice day so we sat outside. The came out to take out order and the food came out quickly too. We got aguachile, fish tacos, fried shrimp taco and agua de Jamaica. The shrimp tasted fresh and the aguachile was perfectly spicy. The fish tacos were really good. They have lots of sauces to choose from which was great because I love sauces. I think we found our new go to for mariscos.

I came with my mom and we parked in the shared parking lot of the convince store next to it. The restaurant has a patio outside and outside seating in front. We sat in side. My mom ordered the shrimp tacos. They were fried and came perfectly crunchy. I got an order of tostada de agua chillies in green sauce. chicken and a carne asada tacos. A shrimp tostada. a michelada and my mom got an aqua de Pina. The tacos were great. hand made tortillas and that always just elevates the meal. The agua chillies was great with a big punch. I had to stop eating and put my hair up in a bun. They did not play. Maybe since I had all that great food with spice when I started to eat the shrimp tostada it tasted like nothing. I ended up putting the agua chili juice on the tostada to enjoy it. The shrimp on the tostada was boiled? there wasn't much flavor to it. id skip it next time. The waitress was beyond nice and helpful.

OK, I went back Guess why?…read moreI have a 25 minute lunch break In an outline, I'm at risk of not getting back to work in time Same with Chick-fil-A, which is a little bit farther away My options that are nearby with a short line are basically McDonald's Jack In The Box or this There's a couple taco shops I like that. I gotta deal with parking in a longer wait time. So hilberto's for the win On this specific trip, I ordered one beef taco I must say the beef taco is pretty perfect It is stuffed full of shredded beef They give me a good amount of very tasty salsa I'm not mad at all It would have five stars if it wasn't for that damn quesadilla I had a few months ago. I really can't let that go. Let it go just enough to come back, but not enough to forget about it or forgive it. I've never gotten out of the car and ordered at the walkout window. I always do the drive-through. The guy was working again and he's really amazing like friendly, kind, etc. I love it when he's working
