“Lived in Del Mar for 14 years now and I have to say that without fail Kotija Jr. Delivers great Mexican food each time I go there. The guys working there are super chill and laid back which is rad. The portions are big and you get a lot for your money. The fish tacos, Al Pastor and tried and true California burrito are fantastic. The food is done pretty quick and comes out hot and fresh. If you're big into Mexican food and wanna have a chill Denali definitely go here.“

“It was a nice restaurant in an affluent area. We got there after lunch and before dinner rush and we were told we have to wait to be seated-no problem, but the entire dining room was empty and there were only people at 2 small tables on the balcony- we ended sitting in the same area. Good thing there was a break in the rain. It took almost 30min to get our food and drinks ordered, then we lost track of time once our apps and drinks were served. I'll say they had their own flair to their food and presentations, but not much authentic tradition in the foods. It was potions were decent but prices too high matched the area nd ambience, but not the food itself.“
“Saturday night was my first time at Jimmy O's even though I've lived here for 12 years, I can't believe what I've been missing! Hannah was our bartender, and she honestly made it such a fun night for us! We asked her to make us something fun and she did not disappoint! Her drinks fit the mood - happy and light! The crowd was friendly, will definitely be back!“
“This is such a cool place and offers a very authentic feel. The seating downstairs is so cool and pet friendly. There are plants everywhere and they have heaters for colder days. It’s mostly covered so you are safe in the rain. The food was delicious and the happy hour made everything even more affordable. We got nachos and tacos and it was all perfect. We will for sure be going back the next time we are in Del Mar.Vegetarian options: The wonderful thing about Mexican food is that it’s very easy to turn into vegetarian or vegan.Parking: It was a little busy so we had to drive around a little to find parking. I imagine during busy season it’s very difficult to find parking but it’s very walkable.“
