How far this place has fallen. Food is marginal. Service was horrendous. Waitress couldn’t give two rips about drinks. Food took forever. My fond memories of this place from ten years ago have been ruined.
Excellent food and service. We should’ve skipped the other places and went to Fred’s! Nice size portions! Yummy! Within walking distance of the main Old Town hotels.
Had their huge margarita’s and nacho’s even thought it was 10am :)the service was quick and friendly, as close as we could get to Tijuana..Monique Pereira Annabel Lina Aguiar
Ay ay ay ay! 🙂 thats our second stop for taco tuesday – we came here for drinks aka big ass margaritas. Their music is fun, and their stuff is pretty nice and helpful!
This is a bad story that had a happy ending. We were seated and no server came for almost 20 minutes. So we decided to walk out, when the manager heard us and insisted we stayed … and the meal was on him. We then got served by him personally, we had margaritas and burritos and enchiladas plus chips and salsa. The burritos were enormous and the pork and beef were well marinated but the burrito had a little too much rice and black beans as a padding, and not enough veg inside. True enough, when it was time to leave we had to pay zero for our meal and drinks. So it’s good karma for me to write about our experience; the manager cared enough to make it good for us, and that should be recognized.
On my first visit to San Diego I was expecting big things from the Mexican joints. We went to this place after seeing the size of the queue for Coyote Cafe across the street. In hindsight, we should have waited. We both ordered different tacos and were presented with bland chicken, tasteless black beans and way too much salad and mayo (sour cream?!). The only redeeming feature was the guac, which was top notch, but unfortunately the guac don’t maketh the meal
Mediocre Mexican food. Food was bland, black beans straight out of a can and got unknowingly charged $1.50 for a side of sour cream the size of a teaspoon.
