The food was amazing! Almost the staff was very nice. Portions were great and we went by recommendations from the hostess and she was spot on. The guacamole was the freshest we've had.

The staff here are truly kind and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant dining experience. I really enjoyed the Aztec soup— it’s flavorful and comforting. Overall, I found the food to be just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. I think some of the dishes could use a bit more seasoning. Still, the atmosphere is fun, and the service stands out.

Best Mexican food in San Diego! Ran by three brothers using their family’s passed down recipes. They were so friendly and welcoming. We tried their tacos and burrito and were blown away! The green salsa at the salsa bar was delicious. The drinks were amazing too! Try their micheladas. Wish we would have found this place sooner.

Truly remarkable albeit a smidge pricey, amazingly creative tacos that are far above your usual taco shop fare. Simply amazing flavors and a next level salsa Verde that is good enough to drink.

First time here and it was fantastic…great service, really good Mexican food with an aztec kick, and the drinks are really good. The standouts were the house margarita and the Seafood trio taco. The guacamole was good but $13 for a small cup of it but outside of that great place to eat some really good food
