We were seated upon arrival. Our server was quick and attentive. Drinks, apps, and meal were paced appropriately. Manager was visibly helping all over the restaurant. Food was delicious as were the drinks.

We had a large party and the service was exceptional. I wish I could remember the server's name. He was wonderful. Our food was great, and the cocktails from the bar were perfect. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves.

We had a wonderful meal including trying some new things as we landed there at Happy Hour!! The ground beef taco knocked my socks off!!!! Wasn't expecting it to be soooo good!!! Loved the cheese enchiladas as well!!! The corn tortillas are a must! I have learned to order extra when I go there!!!! Well be back!

Outstanding service. Waitress was active, always checking in, and the empanadas were good. Will return!

The food was so bland - had no flavor and did not taste good at all. The margaritas were also bland with little to no flavor ! Service was good but the vibe was not it, so many sounds from the mall that it's not quiet enough to talk. The rice was so mushy and gross. I would not recommend

This js one of my favorite places to visit. The food and drinks are delicious. I have never had a bad staff experience. The staff they hire are friendly and helpful. What do I enjoy eating their cheese crisps and the taco salad. I do not care for salad but their taco salad is tasty.

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 😍.
