Freddy TuJuly 18, 2015Great place for lunch if you like mexican food. They play electronic music! Try the sangria on tap with serrano pepper. It is a nice twist on that summer classic. Guacamole is awesome as well.

Jake SmithAugust 10, 2016If possible, grab the hightop picnic table outside before the Padres game lets out, so you can watch all the happenings on 7th Ave. Pacifico tall boys are the go-to drink choice.
Melanie FletcherJanuary 24, 2013Sit on the bar stools outside to really enjoy SD's weather. The happy hour yellowtail collar is $5 and outstanding! Margs and salsa are kinda weak though. Definitely coming on tues next time!
Kelly WeaverAugust 5, 2023Fish Tacos were good, the Mexican Cream Corn was even better. Great spot to sit at the bar and watch the world go by while drinking a tasty Margarita with Jalapeño.
Ashley RoseFebruary 20, 2017I love the idea of the taco duel but ended up only liking one of them. Still- fun, clean spot and great DJ
Alejandro PortelaJune 7, 2015Tacos al pastor and a michelada. The guacamole especial was interesting but I would go with the normal next time.
Saibal ChakraburttyMay 17, 2013Disappointed by the Chorizo Burger, which was recommended by Serious Eats. The corn was amazing, and the fish collar was fantastic. Very unique - tastes like ribs!
Patty GopezJune 13, 2013Still dreaming of the Street Corn off the Cobb and the oysters. Beware of their house sangria... It's super delicious and totally creeps up on you!
Elvin LaiMarch 26, 2013If you're looking for something spicy, get the skirt steak entre. Flavor profile could be more prominent, I feel like each dish is missing something or the flavor just drops off abruptly.
One of the best places to chill out while visiting downtown San Diego. Great bar, great vibe.
Stacey NeuhausApril 20, 2014Amazing veggie tacos, quinoa cakes, chips and fresh jalapeño margaritas.
Tyler TremellingSeptember 18, 2014Tacos were really good... Think the cup of Mexican corn was my favorite thing of the night though
- Everything's good except the disgusting chips. Get a salsa flight to go (even a bag of Tostitos are better than their chips)!
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateDecember 17, 2014One of the few restaurants with the closest menu to mexican tacos. Great place
Ask Steph to make you a cilantro Margarita! They are SO FREAKIN' DELICIOUS. Tell her Fadi says hi! :)
- Dogs are allowed on the patio which is nice for urban doggies owners!
- Great salsa flight at happy hour, only $4, until 7pm M-F
if you find yourself here, snack on the chips and guacamole, wash it down with a Mexican beer, than discuss actual dinner plans.
Tara SnethenApril 27, 2014Street corn off the cob.... Like crack.., if you come here you MUST try it!!!
Carlos Padial IIIDecember 15, 2012Great staff, great food, great drinks...great new spot in East Village.
Lenny LesserJune 10, 2014The side of black beans is large and very heavy. The corn is lighter and good.
Tim ErdmannMarch 19, 2013The Bland BurroOrdered the Achiote Shrimp and the Jalepeño popper tacos. Both have potential, but lacked any real flavor. The pineapple-habañero salsa with the shrimp tacos had so much potential.
- JJanuary 29, 2019The staff can make or break a place. When I went they ruined my night out with friends.
Arthur MitchellFebruary 22, 2013Average. Nice location, but the food is not remarkable. My the hominy in my pozole was over cooked and looked and tasted more like soggy popcorn. That said the dorado tacos were quite good.

"This is some of the best pizza in San Diego. Stick with the basics. White 5 cheese or a pepperoni with red sauce. You can't go wrong!"
