★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Hart · Feb 2026

Food was incredible. We ordered the tacos and a mulita and both were massive and super satisfying. The tortillas tasted freshly pressed and made everything even better. The guacamole was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The jamaica was refreshing and clearly homemade. And the fruit salad… Bright, juicy, and loaded with a huge variety of fresh fruit. Absolutely delicious. Everything was really fresh!

★★★★★ 5.0 Harlan Lovings III · Feb 2026

Had a great experience here! The staff were very welcoming from the moment I walked in, which really set the tone. The fruit bowl was especially refreshing in this warm weather perfectly prepared and just what I needed. The food overall was delicious, and everything tasted fresh and well-made. I also noticed how clean the bathroom was, which always says a lot about a place. Definitely somewhere I’d come back to!

★★★★★ 5.0 Dillan · Feb 2026

Had the small fruit bowl which I couldn’t finish in one setting cause of the size ,very fresh!!!First time so I went safe with carne asada tacos definitely one of the best ones I had in the city. The tortilla is lined with fried cheese which caught me off guard but I loved the unique touch 🔥. Definitely gonna be my go to.

★★★★★ 5.0 Arman Attisha · Apr 2025

Kind staff, good food, and clean restrooms. Javier helped me at the register. I got a taco bowl w/ extra shrimp. I tried four of the salsas: red, green, brava (I think, it was spicy), and house salsa. All very good. Shrimps were big. They use lime and cilantro in the rice, very tasty combo. I got to meet the owner and chef. He operates a bunch of other restaurants all over SD, and does catering. Already had a lot of customers; I’m happy to see they’re doing well as they just opened up only few days ago.
