First time ordering from here. Was really disappointed with most of what we ordered. They waited to tell me that one of the soups I ordered wasn't available til I came in to pick the order up. Also asked for the Chimichangas to be fried and they looked like they were steamed(i included a pic of what i received) Also had no flavor. For what I spent for everything I would've hoped for a better experience. Definitely won't be back

It's ....just ok. My taco salad was pretty wet. Should have been called taco soup ! My wife did enjoy her lettuce tacos though but she's not real picky . I probably would pass on this place .

I really enjoyed my experience here this afternoon. I had just a short wait to be sat and had good service. There was only one waitress I saw in at the time serving 6 or 7 tables but she was very attentive, kind and did an amazing job! All the food was tasty and my Pina colada was great. I would definitely consider stopping in again!

The service was slow but better than previous reviews stated. We did get refills eventually. However, the Chorizo queso was more chorizo than queso; very dry for "queso". The elote corn was fair enough but a little too light on the toppings. Quesa Birria Tacos x2 were okay quite moist and falling apart..needed to fry a bit longer. Burrito San Diego was good. Enchiladas were different than other Mexican places but reported as okay. Overall, not blown away, their menu had us salivating so kind of a letdown.

Ok so in the 5 years I have lived here I have eaten in this establishment a handful of times and each time I am more and more disappointed then the last, to start off with I’ve only had to-go from here and have never actually sat down so I’m not sure how the wait staff is, however the hostesses are rude and act like it’s a chore to help you or take your order. Next let’s talk about the food, the food is very inconsistent, I order the same thing every time because I’m a creature of habit and each time it comes out different, sometimes it’s so over seasoned it’s actually unbearable and others it’s super bland, and every time I order the EXACT same thing it’s a different price (riddle me that if you will) one time my order was under $20 another time it was over $30. Needles to say I will neve
