This is an Old Town staple. It is a very beautiful restaurant with beautiful views all around. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It food was good. It resembled food from other Mexican food places I have been to. I had the fish tacos and to be honest I wasn’t impressed. The fish was bland. The rice and beans were fresh and delicious. My wife had the nachos and again It was good. My only complaint is that it was warm out when we went(July) and where we were sitting there was no air movement and no fans. Someone from our party went down and bought hand fans just so we could be a little more comfortable.

Service was slow getting started but slightly improved with food suggestions. Great place to sit outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. Food and drink were both tasty and flavorful. Enjoyed my visit there!

It was a busy and bustling Sunday afternoon. However, we got a table for 5 in no time. We ordered Veggie Fajitas and the service was very fast. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was lively. The tortillas were kinda hard and didn’t taste fresh. We expected much better Mexican food in San Diego. However, I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the area!!
