    Inside the California Burrito
    John L.

    At the intersection of Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Mercury. It shares the corner center with Yiko Yiko, Subway, Sizzling Pot King, Matcha Cafe Maiko, Crab Town, and Chaba. Diagonally across from Cheetahs (for those who know the area but none of the stores). It does share the parking lot with a lot of stores, but there were always at least a few spots open even when busy. Service here was fast and friendly. There was a TV to watch while I waited for food. California Burrito was the size of my forearm. Food was good, but the real MVP was their red salsa.

    Brothers 3 is a great little hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot. The food was good, and I loved the charm of the small plaza it's in--there are other cute and cool places nearby to check out as well. The vibe inside gave me that old-school Mexican dining experience, which made the meal even more enjoyable. It's a bit out of my usual commute, so I don't know if I'll be able to visit often, but I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to others. If you're in the area and craving some solid Mexican food with a nostalgic feel, Brothers 3 is worth a visit!

    Food was all excellent, got a variety of breakfast burritos and nothing disappointed Tastes fresh and house made all around. Salsas pretty standard nothing surprising but overall quality place.

    Jesus was very helpful in answering all my questions. I went ahead and ordered a carne asada taco, beans, and an horchata. Everything was super tasty and it always feels good supporting local!

    Molcajete
    Tammy M.

    We tried a variety of delicious dishes. The molcajete was reasonably priced and quite tasty. Ceviche presentation was on par with a top chef. Hard shelled tacos fresh and crunchy. I highly recommend the potato taco. The tostada shell was freshly fried for our taco salad. Highly recommend the rice and beans. As good as mom's!!

    Chile Relleno Burrito
    Jack M.

    I had a very good chile relleno burrito from this third Brother's Mexican Food location. The burrito came with one chile relleno stuffed with white cheese, Mexican rice, and refried beans wrapped in a butter flour tortilla. The burrito was very tasty. The relleno tasted good, the rice was nice, and the beans flavorful. The only flaw was that there was some burnt rice in the burrito, likely scrapped off the bottom of the pan, but other than that, it was very good and filling. They make good hot sauces here too. I tried a couple of them. They offer free tortilla chips in a small container if you eat in. Service was very nice at the counter. Only inside seating is available.

    Their carne asada tacos are tender and flavorful, and the homemade tortillas are a game-changer. The service is always friendly and attentive.

    Machaca breakfast plate

    The machaca breakfast plate is one of the best I've had. Goes well with the green salsa and a few roasted poblanos. Clean simple sitting area. Friendly service.

    Amazing street tacos and complimentary salsa.  Check out that fish in the front- delicious!

    Loved it here. Things to note 1. Parking is bad so plan…read moreaccordingly and be prepared to walk a block or 2 to get to the restaurant 2. It is very dark in here. I had to take photos in night mode so it looks a lot brighter than it actually is. If you are going with someone older or who has trouble seeing in the dark, they are not gonna see anything lol 3. I heard reservations were required months out but i went in the same day. It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend around lunch time but they took walk ins left and right so maybe just dinner is what needs to be booked in advance? The decor was immaculate and everything that came out was delicious and it came out very fast. It is connected to the Lafayette hotel which has the jungle room, bowling alley, pool and multiple bars. You can easily spend the day here. Mmmm not if you have kids though. 10/10 recommend

    Very trendy, friendly, evocative dining experience! It's located inside the Lafayette Hotel, but…read morethere's also an outside entrance to the restaurant. Beware there's only street parking, no valet service (unless you're a hotel guest), so that can present a challenge. Reservations a MUST on weekends, especially with a group. Now for the food reviews. Everything we ordered was delicious from the squash blossom and smashed tuna tartare appetizers to the El Festin platter (made for groups) . Since the main dining area is kept dark for the dramatic gothic effect, it's tricky to rely on your sense of sight for the presentation of each of the dish. The highlight for me was the chili garlic shrimp tacos. So full of flavor! The only drawback is that many of their dishes are made with nuts. So if you have a nut allergy, which one of us in our group did, the menu was limiting. Overall, it's an incredible place for first timers and out-of- towners. I might return for a special celebration, but not repeatedly. Once is good enough experience, especially with so many other special dining options in our fine city.

    Delicious food, great view, and wonderful hospitality!…read more On our last evening in San Diego, we went to Coasterra to wrap up our vacation there. This restaurant came highly recommended by major Visit San Diego websites, and we felt we should give it a try. Located right next to the water, the restaurant offers expansive view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. Sitting is about 50/50 indoor vs. outdoor, and we chose the indoor sitting as it tended to get colder in the evening. Parking is available out front, but we took Lyft there. We came in around Happy Hour, and we were able to score two appetizers for $11 each. We got fried calamari and fish cervice as appetizers. For entree, we had the fish tacos and scallops. Both of the appetizers were excellent, and the cervice was so light and flavorful. My husband loved his scallop entree, and the taste and presentation were original and outstanding. My fish taco was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we had fresh churro that was paired with ice cream, which was excellent as well. Our meal came to $143 with taxes, which was a very good value with the quality and services offered. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, which made us felt right at home. As for the ambiance, it felt modern and relaxed. There were diverse customers from locals, tourists, and business people. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will return.

    We discover a gem. Our server Case is a 10 star server in a 5 star rating system. The atmosphere…read morewas all of the 5 stars. The table side guacamole was all five stars. The main courses we ordered we not what our taste buds were looking for. The flan ( Yes, the flan ) was the best flan I have ever consumed. As dense as a cheese cake and coconut flavors of the islands. We lookd forward to giving the place another go because of the Service, the Atmosphere, and the guacamole. We hear happy hour on a week day is the best time to indulge.

From start to finish, everything was wonderful and I will NEVER forget my experience. We were met immediately with great service as well as continuing to receive it from every member of staff including our lovely server. Every other member that brought out our food & drinks was just as delightful. The weather was perfect to be seated outdoors in their patio, it matched the relaxing and enjoyable vibe we had. The food, I mean, the FOOD was undeniably delicious and full of flavor. I've literally never had a better taco anywhere else. The Al pastor was exceptionally juicy and tasteful and I'm so glad I went with my go to because it's a meal I'll never forget. The Agua Fresca were so refreshing too, sweet but not overly sweet, just the right balance. Overall, I have another new favorite when I come back out again.

    * catching up on old backlogged drafts so this review may be a bit out of date…read more Booked a big group dinner here as they had lots of spacious seating. We were split into two tables outside. Overall the experience was pretty underwhelming. The food was not very flavorful - it wasn't authentic Mexican food or even good California fusion Mexican food. There are so many better Mexican restaurants in San Diego, it was disappointing to have wasted a meal here. I believe it's a chain so not sure if the other locations are better as I've only tried this one.
