I came to this place hoping for good Experience and some good food. Upon my arrival the staff were just leaning on counter tops and didn’t even look like they wanted to tend to me. The restaurant was completely empty not one costumer in there. I saw a mother come in with her daughter must have been at least 6 years old begging to use the bathroom and they literally told this 6 year old baby girl she had to buy something. I felt so bad about that little girl crying saying needs to use the bathroom and couldn’t understand why these adults would not allow her to use the bathroom. Made me loose my appetite

I read about the food in this restaurant for being authentic Mexican food. I am from Mexico city so l was very exited. The barbacoa is good for being in US, the consomé just ok, the huitlacoche quesadillas were good. I also had a sesos quesadilla. It was very good flavor but small and expensive. But over all l will come back. The only issue l see on this place witch is very important on a business is the attitude of the lady that helped me. I read on the reviews about her and is very true. Not a smile, not a welcome! Like you are a bother to her. That isn't good if you want more business.

The place was not busy and we were immediately sat. They had the baseball game on which was nice. We had a full order of barbacoa which was really good, it came with a good sized side of consume and enough tortillas. I tried moronga for my first time, it's definitely something different 😅. My boyfriend tried other tacos but it didn't seem as good as the barbacoa.

I had the opportunity to devour their veg mushroom tacos with rice and beans and the various salsas - the food was to die for - thank you! Truly enjoyed your hot service at the WOAH girls event in mission bay …one of the best Mexican foods I have tasted in SD so far !!

There are some gems on this menu and the fun part is finding them. Grasshoppers was not expected though. Great place for authentic barbacoa!
Wow! Some of the best halal Mexican I’ve had in a while. The green sauce with chicken and lamb was to die for. Tried both green and red sauce enchiladas; green had more flavour and was more satisfying but both were delicious. So many menu items, you’ll find something you like. The salsas and pickled onions on the sides are very spicy so be careful. The service is friendly and great and prices are fair. Can’t wait to return!

Dear Francisco,
I wanted to share my recent experience at your restaurant, as I’ve been a loyal customer for many years—ever since your first location opened in Chula Vista on Broadway Street, when you were still working in the kitchen.
I visited on Wednesday with my mom, and unfortunately, neither the broth nor the meat had any flavor. I let the waitress know, and she kindly replaced the broth.
Today, Sunday, I returned alone hoping for a better experience, but sadly, it was the same—the broth and the meat were both flavorless. I informed the waitress again and asked to return the food and pay for it. At that point, the chef, Hector, came out and was very rude. He told me not to come back. I explained that I’ve been a long-time customer, but he responded by saying he wasn’t afraid if I complained to you, Francisco.
I was shocked by his attitude and chose to leave rather than argue further. I left feeling disappointed and disrespected. It’s unfortunate, but I’ve now decided not to return to the restaurant anymore.
