Had a great time here! The food was good and our server (not sure of his name, but he was working around noon on 07/26/2025) was excellent and very accommodating to my mother in law's dietary restrictions. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Located in 'Fashion Valley Mall' on the 2nd level of the Café Terrace by the AMC. Easy access from and to the parking structures' top level.
I wanted a good burrito so I stopped here, but ordered take-out this past Saturday at 7 pm. The 2 hostesses were extremely welcoming and friendly. One of them gladly took my order and kept me updated as I waited by their patio. It's such a beautiful location. Every employee seemed happy to work there which is a sign of good management.
The restaurant is clean with a fun, Latin atmosphere and a nice patio. Full-size bar with happy hour from 2 pm-4 pm weekdays & all day Tuesdays (in the bar area). The food and cocktails looked very appetizing with good presentation.
I ordered their 'Carne Asada Burrito' and it tasted super good. It had beans and steak inside, covered with jack cheese and chili sauce. On the side, a side of guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, and beans. The steak was so tender. We also ordered their 'Shrimp Fajitas' which were flavorful. Chips and salsa were included with our meal.
Overall, we had a good experience here and will definitely return to try other menu items and their good-looking cocktails.

This was the first place we ate after landing in San Diego, and it was purely by chance! My family just wanted to sit outside and enjoy the weather.
I ordered the fish tacos and my husband ordered the chicken salad (which, according to the server, is seasonal). Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, but after seeing what else was in my husband's salad (quinoa, mango, strawberries) I was a bit sad that I hadn't ordered one for myself. So, on our last night in San Diego we came back for a second meal and this time I got the chicken salad as well as a margarita 🍹.
This place was very enjoyable, the wait staff was very attentive, and obviously I loved their food 😍.

Great menu options. I ordered the fish tacos, plenty of fish so I nibbled some before trying to pick up the tortillas since they were so full. My wife ordered the chicken tortilla soup, which appears to be a staple in San Diego since its on other SD Mexican food menus. The staff are very welcoming when checking in and I noticed how well they keep the tables cleared when you are finished and after other customers departed. There is also a great outdoor sitting area

The food, drinks, service and atmosphere was all awesome! We came here for fish tacos, but we ended up getting a lot more—the queso, fish tacos, carne asada tacos, carnitas tacos, mango stand margarita and spicy skinny margarita. Being used to Tex-Mex, we were very excited to find queso and were impressed with it. We really enjoyed Al the tacos. The only note is we wished that there was a little more stuff on the carnitas and carne asada ones. The fish tacos were piled up, and there was just a little less stuff on the others. The mango stand margarita was very good, not too sweet but still very flavorful. The spicy skinny was definitely the winner though, it was probably the best spicy margarita we’ve had. Overall a great experience!

THE perfect place to bring our extended family coming together from across the country to celebrate my daughter's UCSD graduation. The staff was incredibly accommodating and patient. Seating on the patio was comfortable and made it easy for everyone to hear conversation. The food was delicious. The cost was way less than anticipated for such a large group.

Mariah was such a nice bartender! Made the best drinks and the vibe was awesome! Will definitely come back again! 👍🏽
