We come here for the tacos, margs, and to see Victor because Victor is good people. He has a calm genuine personality that makes us feel at home, and honestly, we haven’t found a place in SD that beats their margs or tacos. Their chips with guac and pico is also so fresh.
Searched on google for the best margaritas in San Diego, this little place did not disappoint!!! 10/10 margaritas, and the waitress was amazing!
Great local spot. Service was impeccable. Food came out very fast, hot, and delicious! Oredered carnitas tacos, mole entrees, and chips with guac and salsa. Not a single bad bite. Margaritas were top notch and server never let them go dry. Only wished dogs were allowed on the patio but understandable.

Cantina Mayahuel is a hidden gem that offers authentic Mexican vibes with great service and good food. The menu, though somewhat limited, provides delicious options like Guac and chips, Chicken with 3 different mole sauces, and Margaritas. The restaurant boasts a wide selection of tequilas, perfect for drinks and dinner. The chips and salsa are a highlight, and the margaritas are phenomenal, especially the smoky mezcal margarita with Jamaica juice, which many guests praise. The tacos are excellent, needing minimal toppings to shine, but some reviews mention that the quality of tacos can vary, with fish and carne asada being sometimes dry and tasteless. The place has a cozy outdoor ambiance, making it a must-visit spot. Overall, the outstanding service and unique atmosphere make it worth a visit, even if the seating is limited. This place continues to impress, earning a solid 5 out of 5 rating.
