“ Juana, Margarita & Jesus Sr. & Jr. offer wide range of fabulous fresh food & delightful service in a cozy casual space. ”
“ The food was amazing! True Mexican flavor and the most wonderful hostess/server. We could not stop eating! All I have to say is Yummy!!! ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very tasty and service was good. I was a little concerned at first because the place was empty but the food was great and the staff was friendly. The only negative was the corn tortillas were nothing special ... definitely not made in house. ”
“ The food was so delicious! I got the chile relleno burrito and my boyfriend got cali burrito. Juana was so incredibly attentive and very sweet. If you are in the neighborhood definitely swing by and support this hispanic small business!!! The restaurant ambiance is so cozy and clean. Juana truly made our experience here memorable and genuinely made us feel at home. Pretty good prices too. Gracias muchísimos!! ”
“ Living in San Diego means tons of different Mexican places to choose from, but this one caught my eye. There are so many different things to chose from, but the thing I love the most and find the most unique are their fish rolled tacos. I absolutely loved them and the salsas they provide pair perfectly. I've also had some breakfast burritos which were super delicious! Their menu has plenty of vegetarian options, which I am excited to explore. They stay open pretty late for eating and the space itself is large enough to eat inside and have plenty of space away from other customers. The restaurant is decorated colorfully and cute and they often have sports playing on the TV. The staff is wonderful. The lady that helps us is really thoughtful and friendly. She makes us feel welcome and comfortable which is so important when dining in. They can be a tad more expensive than other shops but it's completely worth it. ”

“ plenty of parking spaces right in front. Plenty of seatings inside but no outdoor seatings. We were seated right away, they have so much on the menu it was hard to decide. I've got their chicken enchiladas combo with Coke in a bottle. The portion of the food was on point. Barely finished the plate myself. Loved their red sauce, did not skim on the chicken for enchiladas. The lady that was working was attentive and super nice. Food came out quickly and still hot! They do not offer free chips and salsa here, which is fine. If you are craving some good Mexican food, this is a place to go. Good for big group too. ”
“ Hosted was amazing. Super nice. Chimichangas are HUGE and delicious. Get the buñuelo for dessert. Treat yourself. Chili Verde, tender & flavorful. Camarones Costa Azul... Like what? EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD!! Definitely coming back next time I'm in town. ”
