This place reminds me of Olvera Street in Los Angeles. There are several restaurants to choose from. I even passed by a place where two ladies were making tortilla from scratch. I even got to try one. Even though I wasn't told what kind of tortilla was that, I knew it's made of corn because I could really taste the corn on it. There are several shops that carry traditional Mexican products such as ceramics, ponchos, home decor etc. I also watched the live entertainment where I watched performers dancing. I really enjoyed the show. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been coming here for around 30 years. My family and I love the food and ambiance. The food is excellent. I must say that this time the service wasn't great. Socorro was our waitress. I believe she can improve in the way she attends to get customers. It took her at least 15-20 minutes to come to our table to offer us something to drink. Once she served us the chips and salsa, it took her another 10 minutes to take our drinks order. We needed a refill on our salsa and we had asked her for water, but she forgot. I believe that all servers should keep in mind that for many tourists this restaurant is the closest they can get to Mexico, therefore the servers should strive to make it an out of this world experience. It would be great if they can concentrate on portraying Mexico culture in every interaction, instead of acting as if they are in their own kitchen serving their families. I will keep coming back here because it's a great place, I just want the restaurant to improve their service. read more

The music lured us in and it was everything. Free concert! Fantastic Latin band that night and free to sit on the benches. They sold cocktails which was nice. Lots of people got up to dance and don't worry about losing your spot bc you'll easily find another. Would definitely come back here for the music. Hubby and I took a dance break to grab a churro from the Mercadito shop selling some of the best churros I've had. We found a bench and ate our churro and watched others dance for a bit. The vibes were everything! read more

Fiesta de Reyes - Free concert! Excellent band! - Shopping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

My favorite place to come because of live music and outdoors love the decorations. Price is medium range but they have a good variety of food and drink items. Everything is good and fresh. Service is usually good but maybe they were busy so the service did lack a little bit. Parking can be busy just be patient. Lots of shopping areas and many food places to buy snacks and treats.. read more

Fiesta indeed! I've stopped by here early morning and late evening and the party is always hopping. Of course, it's a bit more lively when the sun goes down, but I prefer my parties during the day. There are lots of great souvenir shops on the perimeter and then restaurants in the middle. There's also a stage with seating for live music. I haven't seen it myself, but I can imagine some amazing salsa dancing here with the band. Maybe one of these days I'll pack my dancing shoes and venture out past dark and see what I can find. read more

We were walking Old town San Diego to explore and came to the end of the path. And here was this active village with a floor show in full Mexican Dining and ladies making tortillas for the whole restaurant from a little hut with a screen window. Wow! Well , Enchiladas and a chili reneno both with rice and beans go us. Both served with tortillas made today by the ladies. That alone makes a difference you don't realize till it happens. We ll be back to explore the menu. I would add a plus to my last star if I could. A Delicious late lunch. read more

Wow!! What a great spot! The food is delish and the ambiance is perfect! The seating is outdoor and there's live music. The band even came up and sang a song to our table. As far as food goes, it was a hit! We had the chips and salsa, guacamole, queso fundito, and ceviche for apps and all were a hit! My favorite was the queso. And for food we all got the steak fajitas and they were dang GOOD!! We had a large party and the service was still great! We spent about $50 per person but left full and happy! Highly recommend! read more

Disgusting food. They're robbing us and charged us extra for guacamole saying it came with it. I am Mexican and this tasted not authentic. I only ate the quesadilla. Don't come here. read more

Fiesta de Reyes - 3 entree meal - Shopping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

LET'S FIESTA! The action-packed shopping center/cultural hub of Old Town is home to a variety of shops, the Casa De Reyes restaurant, and specialty food spots. Fiesta De Reyes is a in-spot for both tourists and residents. You can find live music on-stage at the center of the plaza. I've seen Selena tributes, Mariachi music and more! Entertainment is constantly rotated and fresh. What's perfect is that all performances are free and there's a dance floor to join in on the festivities! There's plenty of local businesses to support here such as a tile shop, souvenir stores, and hand-crafted items. My personal favorite shop is Nibble Chocolate, home to some EXCELLENT vegan hot chocolate and champurrado! Throughout the plaza, you'll also find street taco and tamal booths. The food is a bit pricey, so if you'd like to try a little bit of everything for a more affordable price I'd recommend eating at Casa De Reyes since they own the taco/tamal booths. Just order a combo plate where you can pick and choose what you want to try. I always have a great time visiting this iconic San Diego plaza! Some of the patrons are a bit entitled and there's some grumpy old people, but all the staff are very professional with them! Please be kind when visiting ya'll! read more

This place is a big shopping area featuring Mexican gifts, clothes, home items, and decorations. It also has multiple restaurants, open late! It is beautiful to come during Día de los Muertos; highly recommend. Everything is expensive, but everyone is pretty nice.

Terrible service! Food had a hair in it and brought back in a new plate instead of remaking it. $17 Margarita was weak!! Tortilla lady was rude, then got charged $8 for extra tortillas. I've been coming there for years and never had such poor service. You've turned out to be too touristy and don't care about service or quality and people will buy into it because of the location. Was not worth $250! I messaged you and was totally ignored! Won't be back! read more

We visited this enclave like shopping area while visiting "Old Town San Diego" and regretted that our schedule didn't allow us to eat at the restaurant. That said, we were able to visit a couple of shops where we bought souvenirs and gifts for ourselves and our friends. Specifically we visited " La Flora de Mexico" which had many many items for a back yard or garden area...some very beautifully glazed terracotta pots...one of which I bought for myself and other garden and back yard items for some friends. Also, we visited "Del Cobre Old Town Copper". The hand made copper items here are beautiful and my wife bought a few items for her friends. We visited nearly all the shops and loved them all even if we didn't buy anything...the "tile" place was a missed opportunity as we didn't have any pending projects that needed these types of items but it's something we'll keep in mind. While we walked the permitter of shops there is a restaurant in the middle where lots of people were enjoying their Sunday morning. Great atmosphere all around! read more

Fiesta de Reyes is always a good time when I'm hanging out in Old Town. It's so colorful and lively in the evenings when the live bands are playing. My favorite time to come here is during Día de los Muertos when they have all the decorations up. Fiesta de Reyes (celebration of kings) is an area in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park that has a small hotel, gift shops, restaurants, and an outdoor stage for live music. You can order drinks and dance on the dance floor when the band is playing. Admission is free to enter into Old Town San Diego State Historic Park and Fiesta de Reyes. The park commemorates the early days of San Diego from 1821 to 1872. It gets pretty crowed here in the evenings. Casa de Reyes, Barra Barra Saloon, and The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant are the places to dine at. There are many shops that surround the main courtyard area that sells gifts and snacks like ice cream and churros. Casa de Reyes gives out free homemade tortillas at a small window near the restaurant if you are wanting a small bite. Casa de Reyes is my regular stop for food when I visit Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. While I was waiting for my table, I visited a couple shops and picked up a few things. Then I grabbed a drink and enjoyed the entertainment. I love when the dancers come out and perform. Their dresses are so colorful. Sometimes they have mariachi bands too. My favorite part of coming here is immersing myself in the culture (and the food!). Despite how crowed it can get here, Fiesta de Reyes is a good time. read more

Food not that great but expensive. Worse is they add a 4% surcharge to every bill. Mgr lied and said it was required by the State of CA!

After walking Old Town and exploring the little shops around, this restaurant looked appealing. The vibe was awesome; you get to hear live music and watch people dance which was enjoyable. They have many options of food and the portions are big; however, it didn't taste authentic. The food was a little bland and didn't have much flavor. I would go back for the atmosphere and the sense of culture you get while enjoying a meal. I must add the service is good, the waiters, managers, and staff are all very friendly and attentive. read more

We go there every year for my special needs niece birthday. This year our waitress was very short and rude to us ,but we thought maybe she's busy it will get better. We brushed it off and ordered. When our food arrived 2 items were wrong. We told the runner, he said okay will fix it. 5 of us eating 2 were not. 10 minutes later waitress came back with same food and yelled at us that we ordered these items, we were wrong and tried to serve us 2 cold items. Allergic to shrimp so definitely wouldn't have ordered it. We said no we ordered beef. She took food back and brought us our food about 20 minutes later while rest of our party watched us eat. Waitress said manager would deliver our food but he didnt come. Not that we asked to talk to him but still, why offer and not show up. Our yearly tradition is no more. We won't be back or recommend this place. All restaurant workers seemed like they would rather be anywhere else but there. That kind of ambience is catchy. read more

Such a fun place to come and have dinner. First, to get to the restaurant you have to walk through old town San Diego. It's a short walk, don't worry. As you get closer, you're greeted by great music coming from the live band. It seems that they mostly have outdoor seating that is under canopies. They also have out door heaters for when it's cooler. The staff are all very sweet and efficient. The food is amazing and comes in large portions. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere, good food, good service and fair prices, this is your place. read more

Atmosphere- so fun! Servers were nice I assumed that since it was outdoors that I could have my small dog sit outside with me like most places - but the host made it clear that that's not what they prefer so you may want to leave your pet at home. The food arrived very quickly which was awesome. The two tacos were delicious. The chips while you wait were delicious - the beans and rice - ehhh I think could have used a bit nice flavor. Fun location though - they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait a bit if you have a large party. read more

Fiesta de Reyes - Shopping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

Located in the heart of Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. The ambiance is what attracts visitors to this restaurant with their vibrant colorful outdoor dining. The servers are dressed in authentic Mexican outfits. We were greeted and immediately seated which was nice for a party of 6 at around 6 pm on a Friday. There was a live band playing in the middle of the promenade. There's cute lil stores all around. Very fun atmosphere. Being that I live 4 exits away from Mexico and have been a San Diego native my whole life, I've had the pleasure of experiencing some real & delicious authentic Mexican foods. Sadly, I thought the food at Fiesta de Reyes was average 3/5 stars. A nice place for tourists but not for the food. I ordered my favorite Chile Relleno, rice and beans and it was bland. My margarita was meh. My favorite dish was the fried ice cream. Still we enjoyed our dinner listening to the music and took our friends on a ghost tour. I gave 4 stars for the nice service, fair prices, and the ambiance. read more

Come at night for a totally magical experience, great margaritas, delicious food and homemade tortillas. If you're lucky they'll have live music to round out your experience. It's all outside, so do bring a sweater because it can get chilly even though they gave heaters. Highly recommend the mojachte, and do be sure to get the homemade tortillas. Pro tip: if you have leftovers, buy a few sides of tortillas to go with it for a tasty wrap the next day. read more

Tried out Fiesta de Reyes with my boyfriend last night. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for on a casual date night. We ordered: - 1800 Margarita (my boyfriend LOVED this) - Steak Tostada - Carne Asada Plate I was impressed by the warm chips and bean dip, but I found the salsa was lacking in spice and overall flavor. My tostada was decent, but I wish it included guacamole and maybe Mexican rice too. The fajita veggies were a great touch that elevated the dish, but it was definitely still missing something. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return to Fiesta de Reyes, but it is a decent spot to hit if you're already in the area. read more

Fiesta de Reyes is bright, festive and has a great outdoor setting located in a quad area with live music playing .. the outdoor seating area is the best but you have to deal with the elements (flies) and has limited indoor seating(which is stuffy). There is parking if you get lucky especially on the weekend. We put our name on the waitlist and it only took thirty minutes to get seated. We had a variety of servers so not sure who was ours but we didn't need anything. We tried the guacamole to start which lacked flavor, a strawberry margarita that tasted like there was no tequila so I ordered a shot to add. We ordered the veggie tacos which were good, the chicken fajitas which were a little dry. We also ordered the tampiquena, however the carne was dry. I had the Tierra de Mar. The bacon wrapped shrimped was extra crispy boarding burnt and the carne asada was dry and well done, I did not finish. We had the deep fried ice cream which was the best part. The waiter next to us hit my daughter twice in the head when passing as he was rushing but come on , you felt the hit and finally said sorry when she said something the second time. Maybe don't cram so many tables together ?? The highest priced item was my meal at $26 so to me is typical price but not good quality food. It is clearly a tourist spot and reminded me of Disneyland with all the people with the tussle and bustle. If you want an outdoor place with music in the background in old town this is the place, but there is better food right next door. read more

I've been to this place more times than I can count and it's always tasty! We arrived and were sat pretty quickly. We ordered the Riviera Maya marg which came in a souvenir glass. It was good! We ordered the guac appetizer and had chips and salsa to snack on. We also ordered some of our fresh made tortillas and I asked for butter. They are the absolute BEST! I added butter and a little bit of salt, rolled it up and smiled while eating it. We went back 2 days later while we were still in town from Sacramento and the wait was 15-20 min. We were called up after the 15 min, sat quickly and ordered a sangria (we had already ordered 2 margs from the bar and drank them while waiting!). The sangria was delish. The server was Adriana and she was the best. She was very attentive, super personable and very sweet. We ordered the carnitas platter and it was DELISH! I hope to be back in SD again soon as this place is always a definite stop. Parking is the only problem but it's worth the frustration trying to find a spot! read more

While visiting Old Town San Diego we came into Fiesta De Reyes, Festival of Kings. What an amazing way to spend the evening. Walking through the doorway into court yard you are greeted with the smell of freshly raosted nuts. Thay catch you by giving you a free sample and just like that your hooked. Yes, we bought a couple of bags of nuts and a bag of dried mango with chili. Both were really good. There are lots of shops that offer traditional Mexican merchandice such as clothing, toys, tiles, jewelry, hats, sarapes, and so much more. Bring your credit cards because its not cheap to shop here. Plates and Margarita sets were beautiful and well crafted, thy were very pleasing to the eye. Stores hads lots of christmas ornaments to add to my Mexican chistmas tree. I went with a gourd with a nacimiento inside. It will make a great addition on my tree. If your hungry there are a few restaurantes to chose from that offer, you guessed it, Mexican food and drinks. The atmosphere here was great and very festive with people dinning, conversating, and dancing to the live band that was playing. It looked like everyone, of all ages, was having a good time here. The music was lively and upbeat, it made you want to get in there and dance with the rest of them, lol. Until the next time. I always enjoy coming here for the food and shopping. Thers so much to see. I will definately be returning when I'm in the San Diego area. read more

Went here today with my family & the 7 of us were seated immediately in a nice little corner. The outdoor dining is so nice, and there was a lot of different options for seating. The service was super fast, the servers were nice and very attentive, and the menu had a ton of options. We got an appetizer platter to share, and it had quesadillas, loaded nachos, and taquitos. It was absolutely wonderful and would 100% recommend. It was almost so much food that all of us were filled by the time our entrees arrived. Especially because every table also receives complimentary chips & salsa. Everyone still loved their entrees and there was plenty of leftovers to be taken home. Wonderful place overall and would return. read more

Okay the ambiance is very fun. There is so much to look at, but the food left so much to be desired. I ordered La bandera de Mexico with three enchiladas. The pork was so salty. I had to mix it with the sour cream so I can eat it. The cheese enchilada was not melted at all and it tasted bland. The chicken enchilada was the best one so I ate that one up. No sour cream necessary, which I don't normally eat because it's not traditional. I barely touched the beans and rice. It was so badly presented. Not appealing at all. More food does not necessarily mean good. read more

Fiesta de Reyes is located in Old Town and is a courtyard of several shopping centers. It is a bit confusing as Yelp still shows this as a restaurant when in fact Fiesta De Reyes is home to Casa de Reyes, Barra Barra & The Cosmopolitan. Not to mention that Fiesta de Reyes has several retail locations inside the courtyard portion, and according to their website 19 locations are occupied. During the events this area can get packed and is often found aith Mariachi bands close by. It is a great place to visit any time of year but especially in October/November for Dia De Los Muertos which is normally celebrated the last weekend of October for the past few years (aside from COVID pandemic)... we try and visit during that time. Much has changed from the event due to the pandemic and this year (2022) was almost back to normal. read more
