We loved the happy hour foods we got, guacamole, fried quesadillas, shrimp mango ceviche, and elotes. Also the chips & salsa were tasty. Watermelon agua fresca was good, though I wanted it less sparkling. Would definitely recommend and will return when I come back to San Diego. Thanks to Ava for great attentive service.

We stopped in before a showing at the Civic Center. I had a reservation and we were seated right away A nice dining room. A more lovely bar feel but still intimate seating. The server took our order in a timely fashion and checked in on us regularly. The food was delicious! The goat cheese was missing from the Brussels but otherwise everything we had was great. A word to the non adventurous, the spice is spicy. I’m glad we came here and will do so again!

We increased our party size from 4 to 6 people. The staff accommodated our request. The selection of food and beverages was fantastic but the taste was even better. The servers were engaging and polite and professional. Everything was served in a timely manner. Even after we left, it was down pouring and two of the employees opened the door and beckoned for us to come inside and wait out of the rain. We 6 were very pleased and highly recommend this fine establishment.

Excellent lunch experience! We went for my moms birthday. Sebastian was a wonderful server and helped our family make memories. We especially enjoyed the Azteca soup and fun “churro cart/sombrero” birthday celebration and song! We will definitely be back to enjoy more brunch, lunch and dinners!
