“Lookin for a good barbecue spot aside from Phil's BBQ. This one popped up. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking. It can get busy so plan accordingly. Seating: Inside and patio parking. Great for groups. It seems to have about 100 for capacity Vibes: This is in the North Park area. Thus, it's crowded and eventful, and parking can be competitive. The spot itself is pretty neat - spacious with a little vintage Western - Cowboy look. Great place for big events, celebrations, or if you're tying to catch a game. FOOD: Broiled ShortRibs - Borracho style(Recommend) I was sad that they don't smoke ribs on Sunday but this was still pretty good. Juicy, savory, and right off-the-bone type of barbecue. Smother that beef with some sauce and you're in for a treat. Now the borracho is like grits or a tamale, a base of polenta (cornmeal) with cheese, onions, and peppers - relish and serrano. The borracho was an experience and made this dish extra fulfilling Potato Salad (Recommend) So many choices of sides but this stuck. I enjoyed the cold chunks of potatoes to help calm the flavors and clean your palate. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people who were quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Deelish! Reasonable prices, good selections, and pleasant vibes. If you haven't been to Phil's BBQ then yet, try that out. However if you're looking for less of a mainstream yet creative flavor. This is your place. Enjoy! TIPS: * They don't do smoked ribs on Sunday * Borracho means drunk“

“Probably the best late night Mexican food spot in the area, tried a number of others and always come back here. Food is authentic and has great flavor, they don't speak much English so come with some basic Spanish and you will be taken care of.“

“The best tacos around San Diego better then a tijuana …!!“

“Delicious! This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. The tri tip sandwich and brisket sandwich were delicious! The meat was so tender. Potato salad was a winner. Green beans were too salty. Plain fries were another hit! The loaded fries were too much for me... plus they have a great drink menu. Sauces were underwhelming - they had a strong vinegar taste. However, the sandwich didn't need any more sauce! Beyond delicious as is. Also, I haven't found a restaurant to serve Not Your Fathers Root Beer until now! Service was polite, friendly, and prompt. This restaurant is family friendly. It's a great, casual, atmosphere that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. There are heaters, fun old school music playing in the faint background, and fun Disney references sprinkled in the decor! I'll be back :)“
