    This is a beautiful gem in El Mercado Hidalgo. It's on the second floor and stairs take you up to this nest of uniqueness! The plants and decor made me feel like if I was in a chic restaurant in Palms Springs. Give this gem a try!!! After walk around to Mercado!!

    Ensalada asada

    Best food. We got the agua de sandia with the queso santo and the ensalada asada as appetizers, and the chef made us a soup off the menu. For lunch we had the filete moro, salmon en costra de ceniza, and a white fish (forgot the name). All so good. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful place.

    This is the first time i tried this place and fall head over heels for it!!!! the quality of their food is over the top. Everything whas so fresh made and tasty, we got served by the owners a really nice couple that told us the story of how they open the restaurant and how they find a team of chefs to cook for them, i enjoy talking to them and feeling the love they put into their business and let me tell you that the prices are super reasonable for what you get. No complaints

    Great service and Greater Empanadas!…read more I was pretty hungry and was not sure which ones to get and the cashier helped me out and they did not disappoint. I ordered The OG, Chipotle Chicken, Quesabirria, Costilla De Puerco. After you order it takes about 5 minutes but they come out so hot and fresh. The OG was unique and flavorful. Chipotle Chicken and Quesabirria were as expected and solid. Costilla De Puerco was the stand out for me. I enjoyed the smoke roasted peppers. They serve the empanadas with 3 salsa on the side and they all hit! Better than any other Empanada restaurant ive been to in the SD area.

    As an empanada obsesionada this spot had been on my radar for a while, I just never got around to…read moreactually stopping by. It was recomended by many and I understand it now because I am now telling you to go and try it for yourself. The highlight of the show for me was rhe Rajas con Queso & Corn! O.M.G The bean and cheese was good and the dessert ones were good as well. The churro one was delish! The service was quick, the food came out hot and fresh. We went later in the day so there was ample seating available. The salsas they give you all 10/10. The agua de piña was a 1000/10. Because I participate in Lent I only got to try the non-meat options. Once I am able to, I want to go back and try all their other ones and update my rating to reflect my experience with more of their empanadas. Happy Eating!

We were trying to figure out where to eat lunch and this place popped up. We got a Cuban sandwich to split and a tamal. There's not really seating inside but there are tables outside. The woman at the front counter is very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious my friend isn't much of a tamal person so I enjoyed that on my own I loved the lime garlic sauce that came with it so much I was putting it on my half of the delicious sandwich. The sandwich was crispy on the outside everything you expect from a Cuban sandwich and came with a lovely cilantro aioli. The women asked if it was our first time and then gifted us dessert a delicious flakey guava pastry. They have a larger catering menu as well we saw someone picking up a tray to go. Definitely will be back when I'm on a Mochi run when I'm San Diego.
