Atmosphere & decor inside is beautiful. Service when sitting outdoors was not good. Felt waitress did not want to be bothered on this weekend afternoon. Unfortunate for the customers.

Server was friendly but the portion of the food for the price was extremely small. Burrito is almost $20. Too expensive.

My friend took me here yesterday, I promise you this place is UH-MAY-ZING! she told me she wouldn't steer me wrong and I agreed and ? wow, I was floored. Try the chimichanga plate. From the Especiales de la Casa menu. As well as the cheese crisp special. Quick service, sports playing on TV as well as 90 day fiance which is sometimes shockingly hilarious. 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐If I could. Thanks Por Favor

Outdoor seating, brunch, and good food.

My family and I have been going to Por Favor for over 20 years. The food is always good, the Cadillac Margarita even better! Everything they serve here is amazing (I've tried most of it). But my favorites include El Bandito and La Grande. The enchiladas are savory and the Chile Relleno is really good. For dessert though, you have to try the Deep Fried Ice Cream! Or if that's not your thing a Bunuelos!

I will never forget the vegetable tamale I ordered in 2009 from this place. It was a single boiled carrot and a single boiled celery stick in a tamale. I don’t recall any seasoning involved. I never returned. But I think about that tamale often and mention it in group settings that involve Mexican cuisine discussion.

This place was a bit of a let down. We sat ourselves and waited for too long for our server. Eventually the chips came but they were burnt and oily. When we finished our meal, which was OK at best, it took another 15 minutes to get the bill. We waited so long I went to the bar to pay. Not sure if this is tied to the El Cajon Location, but I heard El Cajon is amazing, and La Mesa was just disappointing

Worst Mexican food I have ever had. Food was completely flavorless. Margarita was basically sugar water. All for an expensive price. Won't be back.

I was so excited to go eat Mexican food and drink margs. I ordered the large house marg. It was so weak and horrible. It tasted like Welch’s grape juice. I had to order another shot of tequila just to even taste a hint of it. Then we ordered the enchiladas verde. We cut into them and the cheese wasn’t melted. It was just normal shredded cheese. Not really into eating handfuls of shredded cheese unmelted. We were super disappointed and only budget to eat out a few times and I felt like we just wasted our money. We’ve eaten here before and it has been better but won’t be going back.
