    Cajeta French Toast
    Justina L.

    On Maps, it was named "Coleta" but located in a cute little market was Casa Brava and it was a perfect brunch to end our San Diego trip! We came pretty early around 9am ish and the staff was very seeet and attentive. The food was bomb, we had a hard time choosing between sweet and savory so we got both lol. But we only took pics of the seeet brunch!

    Banana french toast with strawberries

    Came for brunch for my friend's birthday, she got sat immediately. The restaurant was smaller than we originally had thought but it's in a food hall and i think they had tables scattered. The staff were really nice, they were constantly checking on us to see if everything was okay. My friend got the chipotle chilaquiles and they were so good i wanted to steal her food. I got the banana french toast and added strawberries, I wasn't too much of a fan. But I don't normally get french toast, so that could just be a personal preference. They did add a lot of strawberries though.

    Offers very delicious food with very interesting and fun atmosphere, located in the heart on Market on 8th.

    Café de olla

    This place never disappoints! Chipotle Chilaquiles are always my go to! The cafe de olla is perfect. We also tried the shrimp poblano omelette and it was so flavorful! Service is always great, they are constantly checking on you to see if you need anything. It's a small spot and fills quickly but definitely worth waiting.

    Mixed Experience - Good Food but Slow Service and One Miss We stopped by Casa Bravo inside Market on 8th on, there were only a couple of other tables, so we were seated right away. That was a plus! I ordered the chicken torta, and it was honestly fantastic. The grilled chicken was super juicy (not dry at all), perfectly seasoned with great flavor, and the chipotle aioli was spot-on - creamy and spicy without overpowering everything. My husband got the chilaquiles, which he really enjoyed. The sauce had tons of bold, authentic flavor, and the tortilla strips stayed nice and crunchy - no sogginess here. Both our plates came with house potatoes that were outstanding: crispy on the outside, flavorful, and a highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, not everything hit the mark. My son ordered the kids' French toast, and it was a disappointment - very dry and way too heavy on the cinnamon seasoning. He barely touched it. Service was the biggest downside. Even though the place was nearly empty and there seemed to be only one server, everything took forever - from getting drinks to the check. Our waiter didn't seem particularly enthusiastic or attentive, which made the slow pace even more noticeable. Overall the dishes were good but it just didn't do it for us.

    Tried Casa Brava inside Market on 8th and it's such a hidden gem. I had the mollete for the first time and the bread was incredibly soft and flavorful. The Caleta French toast was my favorite -- perfectly sweet with rich caramel flavor. Great spot for Mexican brunch, cute atmosphere, and definitely worth checking out. I'll be back!

    I've been here a few times now, and it's always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is excellent, the staff is always welcoming and attentive. If you stop by, you have to try the café de olla (with free refills!). I'm excited to keep coming back and try more from the menu.

    Casa Brava serves a serious Mexican brunch. From the chorizo Benedicts to the churro French toast, there's so much to choose from and it all hits. Love it.

    Loved the brunch here! Their dishes were flavorful and they make delicious salsa! We enjoyed trying their pancakes, omelette & torta! It's the perfect spot for the family or to meet friends! They have plenty of seating and their team was friendly and made sure we had a great meal! Would recommend for locals or tourists! Parking was easy, plenty of street parking in the area

    Best Rolled Tacos in the Game! Hands Down. 6/5…read more It's been tried and it's been true. Where else can you get fresh AF, juicy, beef rolled tacos that are rolled and fried to order? I'm waiting.... I'll put La Lomitas rolled tacos up against anybody's, ANYBODY'S! Covered in freshly made, still green guacamole, tomatoes, and shredded cheese, these bad boys are smackin'! $9.25 for 5 rolled tacos isn't terrible, but you might as well phone a friend on some Who Wants to Be a Millionaire type ish and order that 12 pack for $16.99. Ya feel me? If you don't, you will. And don't forget to peep out all of the accoutrements at the salsa bar-4 different salsas, pickled red onions, limes, radishes, and hot carrots, all gratis my amigo. Say whaaaaaat!? Yes, they kindly ask that you don't go overboard and request you take only 2 salsas per item, but just don't be greedy and you should be fine. The salsa bar was super clean and the salsas were delicious. I've also had carne asada fries here (always ask for extra crispy) and they're delicious as well. If you're not asking for your carne asada fries to be extra crispy at any taco shop, you're just doing it wrong. Enjoy my friends! Thanks to La Lomita and crew for coming through again. You guys really shine.

    Love this place. Their Surf & Turf burrito is always my go to the adobada is really good too and…read morethe tacos are solid. Service can be a little hit or miss depending on who's at the register but nothing horrible. The area itself isn't the greatest and you'll definitely get that classic hood taco shop vibe but honestly that's usually where the good food is at. Overall the food keeps me coming back

    HEAVENLY. Ever since i've moved to San Diego back in December of 2023 this has been my GO TO spot…read more This place has such a variety of options including their salsa bar. The adobada here is insanely tasty, I always get the adobada tacos and I never skip adobada fries when i'm with friends. This place has never failed me with their consistency and great service. I could honestly not think of any cons about this place. Coming from someone who's been to every corner of the world these tacos are a 10/10 . If you like mexican food, these tacos alone will change your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Tacos El Gordo has always been my go-to spot when I come home, and the food is still good, but some…read moreof the changes have turned me off a bit. The biggest change is the ordering process. You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

It's a bit of a smaller place with a few booths inside and some tables/booths outside. It was a nice day so we sat outside. The came out to take out order and the food came out quickly too. We got aguachile, fish tacos, fried shrimp taco and agua de Jamaica. The shrimp tasted fresh and the aguachile was perfectly spicy. The fish tacos were really good. They have lots of sauces to choose from which was great because I love sauces. I think we found our new go to for mariscos.

    Came here with a small group for mariscos. Overall it was decent, but not super stand out…read more Their agua frescas are a little different than what you'd expect. They're more blended instead of that thinner, water based style. I personally liked the mango since it tasted like a blended mango, but just something to keep in mind depending on what you're expecting. The fish tacos were good and nicely battered. I just wish they made their own tortillas. The ceviche was more of a chopped mix of shrimp, tomatoes, and cucumber, and didn't really have any juice, which threw me off a bit. The aguachile tostada was really spicy. I know it's supposed to have heat, but this one was definitely spicier than most places. The flavor was good though. Overall a solid spot to try, but not one I'd go out of my way for.

    OK, I went back Guess why?…read moreI have a 25 minute lunch break In an outline, I'm at risk of not getting back to work in time Same with Chick-fil-A, which is a little bit farther away My options that are nearby with a short line are basically McDonald's Jack In The Box or this There's a couple taco shops I like that. I gotta deal with parking in a longer wait time. So hilberto's for the win On this specific trip, I ordered one beef taco I must say the beef taco is pretty perfect It is stuffed full of shredded beef They give me a good amount of very tasty salsa I'm not mad at all It would have five stars if it wasn't for that damn quesadilla I had a few months ago. I really can't let that go. Let it go just enough to come back, but not enough to forget about it or forgive it. I've never gotten out of the car and ordered at the walkout window. I always do the drive-through. The guy was working again and he's really amazing like friendly, kind, etc. I love it when he's working

It was basically a guacamole burrito. It only comes with two tiny sauces, and they charge $1 for each additional one. Like, WTH? Definitely not worth it anymore.
