    Plato de sopes con arroz y frijoles
    Brisa B.

    By far my favorite and most authentic Mexican brunch I've had! I get the chicken sopes and they're amazing. I ventured out this time and got a taco de vapor de papas. It was soft, juicy, and flavorful! It paired well with the horchata that is rich! This time I went with a larger party, which was a little bit of a longer wait. They do have limited seating for parties more than 4, but it's worth the wait! They are fast with taking your order once you are seated, and bring out the food fast!

    This little shop has been on my list for quite awhile. I'm glad I checked it off my list. Danny Boy's is located in a strip mall with Manolo's, a laundry mat, karaoke bar, and Denny's. There are a few tables inside for a sit down meal, or order to go. This morning the café was filled with both types of customers. We decided to eat in. The hostess was very welcoming and offered us menus and water to drink. The vibe here is casual and warm. The regulars and newcomers were shown the same friendly hellos, thank yous, and goodbyes. Our two breakfast burritos came out piping hot, and very tasty, too! I asked for the hot sauces to try, both red and green. They were both good. Although I thought I was going to place another order to go, I was full after eating only half of my burrito. We left satisfied and plan on coming back.

    Came across Danny Boy's as we were looking for a torta spot and decided to try them out. We came by Saturday around 12 pm and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The space itself isn't that big with 6-7 tables. We shared the special breakfast torta (asked for it to be made vegetarian) for $14.95 as well as a mini potato and egg breakfast burrito for $5.95. Both the torta and the mini burrito were good but not amazing. My main complaint is that both were on the bland side, perhaps because they usually rely on meat to provide flavor. We also didn't realize that the torta came with a side of potatoes, so between the potatoes in the torta itself, on the side, and in the breakfast burrito, it was a LOT of potatoes. Portions were big and it was enough food for both of us.

    I love their chilaquiles. Lots of flavor, crispy chips even in the sauce, fresh ingredients. We always eat in, and the tables are always clean. Staff is friendly, too!

    Tacos al vapor
    Crystal C.

    I love this place for its tacos de vapor, but I've had other dishes and they have all been delicious. Real authentic food like my grandmother made, their tacos are the reason to go there. I highly suggest going early enough before the run out, place is small so definitely not for a large party but somewhere to go when your having Mexican antojitos.

    Birria Chilaquiles
    Monica L.

    Hands down the best birria chilaquiles I've ever had! The perfect balance of crispy tortilla chips soaked in rich, flavorful birria consommé, topped with tender, juicy birria, melted cheese, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite was packed with bold, savory goodness! The portion was generous, and the flavors were spot on--smoky, spicy, and deeply satisfying. The consommé on the side was an amazing touch, perfect for dipping or just sipping on its own. The service was fast and friendly, and the vibe of the place made the whole experience even better. If you're a fan of chilaquiles and birria, this is an absolute must-try. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    This place serves some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had! I also tried the torta and carne asada -- everything was absolutely perfect. The ambiance is great, and the servers are friendly and helpful, offering recommendations if you're new to the spot. The place is a bit small, but it's clean and cozy. Definitely worth a visit!

    This place has been on my radar for a minute. Finally I was able to come Saturday morning. The hubby loved the chilaquiles. Nice crunchy tortilla full of flavor. There serving sizes are large enough to share. I wanted to taste a mini machaca burrito it was NOT mini. There mini is regular size. Machaca was full of flavor and lots of cheese. My tacos al vapor were just like the ones across the border. Fantasic!! I got beef and potato maybe just a lil more potato then beef, but nevertheless still good. Chorizo and bean taco was just as delicious. I enjoyed these tacos ill have to see when I can make it out again. They close early so try to make it out.

    Carne asada chilaquiles with poblano cream sauce

    Amazing food, nice people, relaxed quiet atmosphere. I had carne asada chilaquiles with poblano cream sauce - it was fantastic. We were also introduced to Mexican coffee (cafe de olla) there - that's my husband's new favorite way to have coffee!

    Danny Boys has become a staple for my kids and I. It is consistent in taste and service. I first reviewed this place back when it was a water store selling tacos al vapor (amazing). My kids love it and I have brought many friends and family here. Keep up the great work everyone at Danny Boys!! The cafe de olla is always on point.

Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

    You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

    Love spending time with mom and sis. I was the one driving, and I got to choose this casual dining…read morespot. We got some chilaquiles! Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

    Where else can you get $1.50 BIG FAT fish tacos EVERYDAY!! Yup.. you heard it right, not just on…read moreTaco Tuesday's.. that's their EVERYDAY price! And I'm not kidding when I say that the fish is HUGE! I usually order it on a flour tortilla and the fish practically fills up the length of the tortilla. And it's not all oily batter either... it's the best fish taco in San Diego and even more so because of the cheap everyday price! Service is good too and lots of seating (inside and out). They have a full bar set right in the middle and tons of tvs to watch sports and grab a drink. One weekday tip... (during the school year) Try and avoid it around 12-1.30pm on weekdays as the high schools are out for lunch and it gets a little insane. Other than that.. you can't go wrong with this spot.

From the moment we walked in, the environment felt chaotic. There were long lines everywhere just to place an order, and no hostess or server to help seat you or explain how things worked. You order at a kiosk, which might work in some settings, but it didn't feel organized here. Two out of our three meals came out completely wrong. My daughter ordered a very simple taco (beef and cheese only, no onion or tomatoes), and the first one was incorrect. After waiting in another long line to fix it, the replacement came out as potatoes and lettuce only. At that point, it just felt exhausting. My husband's protein bowl also included ingredients he specifically asked to leave off. We also had to stand in separate lines for drinks... and then realized we had to get back in line again just to order water. For a family dinner -- especially a birthday -- it felt unnecessarily complicated and frustrating. My enchiladas were cooked correctly but much spicier than expected for my mild taste buds (hence all the water runs). That said, I will give credit where it's due -- the drinks were excellent. If you're going just to grab cocktails and sit at the bar, I could see this being a fun spot. The bar vibe seemed lively, and the drinks were genuinely well made. Overall, the food might work for some, but the disorganized setup and repeated order mistakes made it a birthday bust for us.
