Cute little new spot and favourable food! Thank you!

I love Tahona Bar! Their food and cocktails are so unique and they use such high-quality ingredients. I'm obsessed with their corn croquettes. They also do group events--- I had my wedding welcome party/post-rehearsal dinner here and it was amazing! They were willing to customize our menu to our preferences, and it was super easy to plan. We rented out the restaurant for about 50 people, and we just had to meet a food and drink minimum, so we had an open bar and buffet-style full dinner service. The manager Zach and the staff were so friendly and attentive! All of our guests loved the space and the food and drink! It was also the perfect size for our group. Highly recommend doing events here, or just coming for drinks or dinner!

The food, drinks, and ambiance was second-to-none!
The band, Sol y Sombra (playing Sundays 5-8pm), lured us in with their delightful Flamenco fusion melodies but we stayed and had the best night!
We planned to grab a drink and watch the live music, but Tahona lured us into a full night of Dinner and Drinks. Their food and cocktail menu brings a flair to the familiar flavors of Mexican cuisine with a creativity that left us excited for every bite.
After our meal we snuck into the onsite speakeasy, Occulto, where we got drinks personalized to our tastes with a very knowledgeable mixologist and a very well-stocked bar!
10/10!!

The food here is good but way over priced due to being in a tourist area. We got seated outside which was nice but very sunny. They need to invest in umbrellas for sunny San Diego. They had tons of heaters but zero shade.
We ordered:
-Chips and salsa - came with red and green salsa
-Guacamole - had lots of lime juice, we didn’t mind.
-Mole sampler - made in house, tastes like chocolate dessert, really good but didn’t come with chips. We used the chips from our salsa.
-Empanadas - had lots of fillings
-scallops - the best! I wanted more.
-Fish tacos - tasty but not worth $10 for a tiny street taco size that was finished in three bites.
For drinks I got the Jugo Sano which sounded refreshing with cucumber, basil, lime and tequila. It was not refreshing but bitter strong.

The owner and employees really care about the experience, and especially the mezcal. Inventive but not overbearing, check this place out. Get the mezcal flights. They will take care of you. Best part of our trip ❤️

Great flavors and amazing service! The food has incredible and everything we had was perfect! Highly recommend. The mole flight, salsas, tacos all have great flavors and they really make an effort on the food!

Food was great but our waitress was so very rude. Every time we asked a question regarding the menu she gave a rude and condescending answer. If you don’t like dealing with people don’t be a server. Dont recommend this place as long as she’s working here

Very average Mexican fare with elevated prices and shoddy service. Didn’t live up to expectations
My family and pups enjoyed our visit to Tahona! Food was so flavorful and mouthwatering. We ordered most of the taco options, queso birria ramen, ny steak. We also enjoyed the house made chips and salsa with guacamole. Everything was amazing including our drinks. The service was as top notch as the food. We even had the pleasure of meeting the chef. Thank you.

Food, drinks, & atmosphere we’re all amazing!! First time in San Diego and so glad we found this place. They spoiled our bride to be and made the experience extra special. Anika was exceptional and made us feel like a regular!

We went for a family gathering, stayed in a private room, got served with the best staff considering our guests with such special gestures, moctails, apps, dinner, dessert were exquisite. It will be tough to beat when trying to find elevated Mexican restaurant. Zach and his crew go beyond with every part of your dining experience. We will be back. It’s a favorite spot. They changed true menu often and so new favorites are regular but the carnitas, berrieritos, squash blossom, guacamole and chips, churro and cheesecake dessert are just a few. See you soon Tahona!

This place is really cute, and has a cool dark vibe! We didn't have reservations but they had a table available right outside in front of the restaurant which is connected to the old cemetery which we found to be a great experience! We had dinner right in front of Campo Santo! I did expect a bit more of a variety and flavor, something more from the food. It was good we tried the carnitas bao which was good, the birria Ramen was ok very small portions. The croquetas were basically spicy cheese balls. Overall it was good. It's more about the experience in Old Town and eating by the cemetery with the views that makes it an enjoyable experience.

Amazing food (I had cauliflower and fish tacos, with mahi mahi caught same day) and mezcal drinks. Could taste the incredible care taken in their choice of ingredients. The service and ambiance were warm and inviting. Live music with Sol y Somba topped off the evening with a wonderful experience. I highly recommend
