Fabulous food at very reasonable prices. There is a range in the intensity of the spice level so something delicious to suit almost everyone. The service was timely and the staff very friendly. Thank you for a great meal.

Place looks clean, service is really bad and the food is ok. Not the best good but not the worst. The service will make me not come again.

I ordered 3 soft shrimp tacos for my lunch meal. The taco filling was a lot lesser compared to any other soft tacos that I've had before and it only had 2 small shrimps in each taco. When I checked the bill, I saw that I was charged $27 for 3 small soft tacos. The price was not worth it for the amount and quality of 3 soft tacos served. I can't recommend this restaurant and I'm pretty sure that there are other Mexican restaurants in Balboa Park where you can good service and quality food that's worth your money.

It was a good break from city rush at a restaurant. The atmosphere was great even though this was our first time there everyone treated us like we had been coming there for years. The food was good service was good and we will be coming back in the future.

We stayed for a week at Inn at the Park, right across the street so this was a convenient place to grab a meal. During the course of our stay, we ate here once for breakfast and twice for dinner. Service was prompt and attentive and the food was very good. In our party of three there were no disappointments with food, drink or service. It appears to be a great gathering place for locals and we enjoyed our visits.

We were staying at the Inn at the Park across Fifth from Jimmy Carter’s. Stopped in for breakfast (served till 2:30pm) and it was very nice. Sat outside under umbrellas and had a scramble and an omelet. Delicious food and quick friendly service. Liked it well enough to go back for dinner! We had the taco salad and a Chile Relleno with pork, Oaxca cheese, and mole. Excellent. They have a nice selection of mainstream and local beers. Okay Finished with churros! Great place, friendly service, reasonable prices. Gracias Jimmy!

Fun little establishment with decent Tex-Mex food at a low price. The chile relleno is particularly good.

Girl in bar was friendly fun to chat too. Helped us try local cuisine. Would definitely recommend you drop in for a drink and try the food.

Local Mexican Restaurant with an interesting name. Less than 100 feet from the Inn at the Park. Our party of four adults and two children was seated rapidly; however, we just beat the rush at this very popular restaurant. Very friendly waitstaff. Good children’s menu in addition to a decent selection on the regular menu. Chips and salsa were gratis and replenished as needed. We ordered Pollo Asada, Carnitas, and enchiladas. Plentiful portions and fairly rapid service. Grandkids had quesadillas and guac. Everyone had leftovers. Great service!

Great little Cafe that is open late for a local Cafe. Plus they have great food.

Was an ok spot, nothing special, prices were a little on the high side for such a little outta the way spot. $8.95 for a fried burrito that we get from the corner store $3 for 2. But he ended up switching to the one pictured. $2.75 for a glass of tea. But I guess everyone is going sky high on prices these days.
