The drinks are absolutely amazing here 🔥
Great atmosphere, service, beverages and food.
The worst experience ever.
Afther Padres opening day... we stop in this place expecting to enjoy a good food and service.
But.... oh surprise we waiting 25 minutes just for somebody of the crew take a drinks order. Then another 30 minutes for food.
I ordered green enchiladas. Beans and Rice. Was the perfect NASTY PLATE.
This was my first and last time visit.
Service: It took forever for someone to take our drinks order
Food: sopes without cheese, and it was served with a lot of cheese, side of rice was horrible, they gave us what it looks like it was uncooked rice, it was hard. All the food was horrible
The carnitas and chicken street tacos are so juicy and flavorful. The Octavia Cadillac cocktail was perfection. I definitely recommend.
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is single level and restroom acces is unobstructed.

Sliders were great! Guacamole was day old at best(brown on top layer). Girls got 3 salads. 1 salad had SOY SAUCE instead of balsamic. 2 salad was waaaay over seasoned and salted. Both spit out first bite. Waiter confirmed the salads were inedible. Wife's salad was ordered NO CANDIED WALNUTS, but they brought it by 4 times and it was wrong. Finally, just refused the salads altogether. Super expensive for a disastrous pre-concert meal! The bill was still $168 for 2 sliders plates and 6 drinks!! We paid for what we didn't refuse, bit the argument was on when one of the ladies got a little vocal with the waiter who was less than cordial, but admitted they had "a new chef" so everything was basically wrong with our order. Cucumber mojito or something g like that, was basically alcohol free, which caused another kerfuffle!! All in all....I would eat the sliders again(delicious), but I would never go there again, so not likely to eat again. I hate poor reviews, but it was less than acceptable. Moreover, when we got there it was empty and we still waited 45min for food.

Our food was delicious. We got bottomless mimosas. We were just walking by and the vibe was just good so we decided to try it. Our server was amazing, I’m not sure what her name was. Will definitely be coming back.

This place sucks. My dad and I came here after a concert (no it was not busy) and before we had even ordered, I had asked our waiter how much an extra side of sour cream would be, and he had told us that it wouldn’t be a problem and that he would cover it. I would never expect another person to pay for something that I asked for, but since he offered it, I expected it to not be on our bill but when we received the bill, it was $2.50. I wouldn’t have mind paying extra for it, but since he said he would cover it made me upset. We had then ordered the Shrimp Diablo Tacos and Filet Mignon asada tacos. When the food came out (my meal was correct), he had brought a shrimp burrito without the sides of beans and rice and then when we told him it was wrong, he came back and asked us if we were sure that we ordered the right thing which I found disrespectful because we made it very clear what we wanted. He didn’t offer to remake it and just served my dad the burrito anyways. The burrito ended up being $12 more than the tacos that he had originally ordered and he charged us for an extra side of beans. and the cherry on top was that he took away my plate of food before I was even done eating. The staff for the most part was welcoming. I think this one waiter was just a problem. I wouldn’t recommend coming here and I won’t be back.

Service was first class! The nachos were a perfect way to end our night after the padres game and the drinks were stellar! The Mariachi band was outstanding! Thankful to have gotten this experience on our vacation!

To start our server was very rude of the bat and had a chip on his shoulder throughout the entire experience. We had ordered drinks to start, yet the appetizers we ordered later showed up before the drinks. On top of that, the food was very bland. The chicken mole had no taste, as well as the drinks. Very disappointing for the price and location.

Poor service and rude GM at hostess stand. He was rude to a customer that was waiting in line, almost did not let her use the bathroom… even though she was waiting to check in. We got seated at 5:30pm and they have the happy hour menu that says until 6pm, we start to order and the waiter at the bar said the manager said to stop serving happy hour and they are no longer offering that menu. Sounds like management is an issue here, I can see why they are only busy during baseball games and petco events. Terrible first impressive and I will not be coming back.
