Ordered take out. Was excited. I really don’t leave negative reviews as I’m always pretty open to new places as a first time try.

Unfortunately, Urban Thai kitchen deserves some less than positive feedback. I got the “eggplant” dish with added duck. I got five(5!) small bites of eggplant in my $21.95 order. See the photo. You can buy several whole eggplants for that price so serve that portion in a veggie dish is absurd. The duck, while tasting ok, was dry to the point of being inedible. Honestly just very disappointed. The curry and spring rolls were acceptable.

Food was good but there are better Thai restaurants. Spicy Basil Fried Rice and Eggplant Wok. Service was lacking took long time to pay overall 7.5/10

El Barrio Cantina is the definition of underrated. I went during their weekday lunch hours and had the pork belly tacos, street corn, and a watermelon agua fresca—and I swear I could eat that exact meal every day and not get bored. The food is vibrant, the plating is casual but thoughtful, and the portions are generous. The music was a chill reggaeton playlist and the patio has this cool mural that adds to the whole experience. This spot’s gonna blow up soon—mark my words.

they do not pay attention to order accuracy, so you might get meat or something else without warning. I was going here for a while because it's the only non fast food open late, but their error rate on orders is about 15 to 20%. On one particular occasion I ordered the veggie fresh spring rolls. Got home. It had shrimp in it. Went back to switch out order. Got home. The second order had shrimp in it. Called back and the guy gave me a "credit" that never actually appeared on my "account" - if that even exists. Bottom line someone with a serious allergy could die. And they've messed up many many orders - finally hit my last straw tonight when I sent back something and they came back out after clearly just picking out the offending food item and not remaking.

Only came to try the Thai tea. It’s s absolutely delicious and authentic! Perfectly balanced sweetness and rich flavor make it a must-try for anyone who loves Thai cuisine. I’ll definitely be back for the food. It has that mom & pop shop vibe where you know the food is made with love

Food is okay, ordered takeout several times. Quality differs depending on how busy they are which I get but like I’m spending around 20 bucks and don’t want to play roulette with the quality of my food.

Atmosphere was nice and mellow. Had drunken noodles which was ok but not worth all the hype. No issues about the service. Probably won’t return as there are an abundance of really good Thai restaurants in SD.
