“A little hole in the wall, I couldn’t even find. Walked everywhere and asked everyone. The finally found it. Nice and friendly cashier who I jokingly negotiated to use restroom if I bought food. The complimentary chips were great touch.The fish taco was fresh and crispy with cabbage slaw and perfect white sauce. It all worked out perfectly. One of the best fish tacos I ever had. The tripa was crispy and worked out well. Salsa were okay but could use work. Overall perfect taqueria for fish tacos. Must try in San Ysidro.“

“We came in on a Tuesday at noon, it’s was pretty busy food came out no later than 30 minutes. Everything was high quality food. Service was good. The only thing I would say is that they need to add napkins on the tables and alcohol wipes.. other than that no problem“

“Outstanding service and food. The Juevos Rancheros with rice and beans were well portioned and delicious. The young lady serving us was helpful and attentive. New favorite!“

“Above and beyond customer service. Food was some of the best I’ve had for birria. I had a torta with birria tatemada and an egg also came with consume. The average person probably won’t finish it in one sitting delicious. Also had an iced coffee that had a hint of cinnamon sweet but not too sweet it was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and try different plates. Highly recommend this birria spot. They have an award for authentic food from Union Tribune I can verify that.“

We also loved the consomè con carne soup.“

“Hands Down the best carnitas of all of San Diego. My family and I always buy our carnitas here. We get the carnitas by the pound and they are delicious 😋. They also catered 2 of my party events my baby shower and my daughter's 1st communion at a reasonable price. I said I wanted for 50 people and they set it up in party trays and I picked it up. It came with everything: carnitas, rice, beans ,3 salsas, chiles with sauted onions, guacamole and chicharrones. To ensure that they stayed walm i put the food on party trays warmers. My guest loved it and was a hit ♥️🙏“

“The best in town. La mejor en el condado de San Diego, Ca. Great Tijuana Flavor, El Mejor Sabor de Tijuana“

“The best tacos hands down! Visited in Chula Vista, CA! 🤤“

“It is a good place to eat, it has delicious food, its service is good, its cashiers are very friendly, but its cooks are a little rude, a dark-skinned guy with tattoos on his hand is rude when making the food, I could see him through the small window, I ordered a number 8 this morning, no cheese in the beans, of course I listened when the cashier told him no cheese and the guy ignored her when she told him, they should choose their cooks better and have well-prepared people to make better food, I have seen this guy aggressive on several occasions, I will never change my favorite place to eat but the owners should select their team well“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“So yummy! I will be back for more!“

“I was in the area and wanted something kind of healthy, so I decided to order two tacos — one pescado a la plancha and one camarón a la plancha. I was a little bummed they messed up my order and gave me two pescado instead, but honestly, they were really good! I’m pretty picky when it comes to fish, but it had great flavor and wasn’t fishy at all. The salsas and chips were tasty too!

I also tried their jugo verde — I love green juice, but not everyone makes it how I like it. This place actually makes a really good one!

And staff were great too. Not mad at all but sad. I didn’t got to try the Camaron.“

“chilaquiles can carne asada were very good. Good portion, good price awesome service“

“El establecimiento esta muy limpio y fresco. La atención al cliente es excelente y te sientes muy consentido con el trato del personal. Super recomendado! la Comida riquísima!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Honestly this is one of the best places I’ve ever tried, recommended 100% definitely try the carnitas and the tortas they’re my favorite! The crepes they have are so good too! I recommend the Nutella Banana one, it’s just so good.“

“everything is delicious..✌️🇲🇽🇺🇸“

“TLDR: Fresh and hot food, with good variety, good and fast service, good vibes! Fair cost: $12-$15. Very filling.
Recommendation: Shrimp Burrito.

Food is always hot, the cashier is kind and respectful, variety of food and drinks, quality meats, everything feels fresh, overall an awesome place, it got relatively busy when I went and every time someone left they said thank you. It was also chilly enough inside to keep you comfortable. They had a TV with boxing matches playing so I was entertained. They made sure to keep the tables clean for new customers, my order took about 5 minutes to get out and it wasn't poorly cooked or anything, I'd recommend the shrimp burrito. Great vibes overall! Will definitely come back again :)“

“La preparación en los desayunos están bien sazonada muy buen sabor“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“Carne asada fries were great I was suprised by the large portion. At first I was suprised with price when I ordered them with guacamole Pico de gallo and sour cream and a soda but to be honest this is enough in one serving for 2 people so its definitely fair price“

“We are locals and were there for the first time. The food is generous and very good. Service OK, could have been a little faster. It was very busy, being Valentine's Day, but very NOISY. Suggest altering the decor to absorb some of the noise. Lighting could be a little bit brighter also. All in all, we enjoyed our experience there and plan to return. “

“Our go to spot for authentic delicious Mexican cuisine. Birria tacos and caldos always hit it the spot. Don’t get me started on the Raspados. Stop by give a shout to long time chef Alfredo & the Raspado mixologist Daniel“

“Great first time experience, Uriel and his friends, Gaby, Valeria (I am sorry if I missed out or spelt them incorrectly) were great hosts, helping me out with the order. The service is super fast and also accomdates our requests! The place was super clean and even though we were the last dine in customers they didn't make us hurry or anything. Thanks guys!“
