I got the Yadi’s Signature Chicken & ate every bite, was perfect & Delicious. My husband the Tuna Crudo, which I tasted and loved. Arrachea loved the chimmicurri sauce on that and the chicken. The bathroom had beautiful touches Brass Golden purse hooks, trash bin, toilet seat cover holders all gilded… they paid attention to detail & it shows. If you are contemplating dining here, do it:).

My husband and I typically do not go to Mexico restaurants but decided to go to El sueño based on the review. With that said it was one of the BEST restaurants we have ever been to of any cuisine. I had the enchilada del mar which was nothing short of phenomenal. The menu describes it as being a cheese enchilada topped with a crab, shrimp and seafood sauce, so I was very surprised and delighted when I got the dish and saw that there were generous pieces of seafood in the sauce on top of the enchilada. My husband really liked his burrito. The food was excellent, the service was very good snd the value was great. I wish we lived in San Diego so we could go back there more frequently.

First time goer to this spot. Food was decent, we took advantage of restaurant weeks menu otherwise menu pricing is a little expensive for portion size. Nonetheless ambient is great, decor is good, and service was great! I would go back again.
