Mexican restaurant in Old Town San Diego, The food was very rich and tasty. You have to order it inside and they serve it to you at the table. They have a wide variety of dishes, drinks and desserts. The terrace has a beautiful decoration.

Had an awful experience. I ordered chicken enchiladas that came with a side of beans and rice. I received pork instead of chicken. The rice was stale and the beans were burnt, when I approached the waiter she said she was going to talk to the manager. She came back and said that they can give me drinks to compensate. I told her I did not wish to have more drinks and i’d like a refund for the beans and rice. My husband’s meal also had the side of beans and rice and they were the same. The owner ViJay then came out and said they can’t give me a refund, and that they can give me more beans and rice. I told him I did not want it anymore and he said it’s not going to be a big difference, he can only do $3 per meal, so I received $6 back. It’s an expensive place, we spent $75 for 3 people and it’s not good quality food. Definitely do not recommend, other restaurants deserve the business.

There are many other restaurants near by that deserve the business more than this establishment. The wait staff was very helpful and understanding but there were numerous errors with our order and the owner Vijay was nothing but rude. We came in a large group who all ordered separately and we all had our own individual problems. We ordered chicken torta to share between two people and it was not served with rice and beans or any of the toppings that were listed in the menu. The wait staff was quick to accommodate but within our entire group the rice was hard and the beans were burnt. The owner would only refund a select few because he said he “knew which ones were fresher” even when you could tell the rice was basically raw. Overall the experience was really disappointing and we hope the rest of the staff can find a better establishment with a more professional owner.

Food: BAD. Served food with allergy items even after specifically calling it out. All beers on tap were out and served with 80% foam.

Service: The owner is not just bad at service but a pathetic human being. Yelling at his staff and even at customers. Won’t accept his mistake even if his Own staff agrees that it was their mistake. Will not recommend this place to anyone. There are far better places around this area. Try Casa De Reyes, great food and amazing vibes.

Stopped in for a quick beer before seeing a show. Looked cute with covered seating outside. Old Town is tourist heavy but this place definitely takes advantage. One Beer, one Michelada, and one skinny margarita was $42, excluding tip.

I just could not believe how horrible the food is here. A plate of fajitas was simply the chopped beef you find in a burrito. A order of the Chicken Enchiladas was bland filled with hunks of dried chicken breast meat smothered with green chili sauce made for gringos. The rice was under cooked and the beans tasted like it was from last week's pot.

To add insult to injury, expect to pay about $25 a plate in this tourist trap. I was better off bringing Taco Bell in a paper bag. I guess I learned a hard lesson here.

I kept on asking myself how this joint survives in a town full of rich Mexican heritage.

Awful place, asked for basted eggs and was given poached eggs half cooked, stale half toasted bread. Plastic knife and fork two different colors, had to order and pay and tip before I even was served. Gave me coffee in a paper cup, what a cheap nasty business. I had wondered why the place was empty although every other restaurant was packed. I refused to eat their garbage and walked out. DON’T GO HERE.

We caught them on a weekend between 12-12:30 the weren’t busy when we walked up.
Food: undercooked (tortilla chips, like greasy and bendable undercooked) rice
was served cold The Mexican Corn cup was like canned or frozen cooked corn.
Chorizo and eggs unrecognizable.
Birria was mid. The meat need better seasoning. Au jus was okay.

Overall not what I was expecting from cool looking site, or the price and location. Prime location in Old Town. Definitely has potential, but need to up their food game.
Maybe because they cater to tourism? Don’t think locals are eating there.
