We really enjoyed this fun Cantina. Food was delicious and their happy hour is excellente!! We tried the pork belly bites ( which were basically pork belly with tortillas so tacos yum) we also had the fish tacos that were in a tasty tomato based sweet chipotle? It was really good . We also Had the Korean tacos that were like a Hawaiian pig style with corn, salsa, creama and cilantro? So yummy. Fun vibe gorgeous views, good service! We shall return
Came for a Bachelorette Dinner and was pleasantly surprised with this place. First and foremost they were able to seat us as a group of 16! (Luckily we called in advance to make accommodations since we were a huge party). 2 stories, upper level is an outdoor deck with an overhead covering. Live DJ and big screen behind the bar. The DJ was OK the night we went, he played a variety of music but his transitions were not the best and he went from upbeat Spanish music to slower English and EDM so was a little all over the place towards the end. Combination of high-top table and VIP "booths". Quite a bit of staff who are pretty friendly and attentive. We ordered a bottle and they made a whole show; I'm talking fog machines, sparklers, music, whistles, and more. Ambiance/Service - 4.5 stars. For food/drinks, I am giving it 3 stars. I ordered a "spicy margarita" and it was so watered down. There was zero spice to it and it just had floating pieces of cucumber I think it was. Honestly, very disappointed for its price. As for the food, I ordered aguachile negra and it was good! I will say I wish it was a bit more lime-y and spicy but overall it was good. All in all I'd definitely come back as their menu is extensive (a little overwhelming) but a good amount of options for sure! Definitely a place to visit with friends if you want a little more of a "club" scene in Valle.
Overall I personally wouldn't come back. Maybe if I was a local, I would visit. But I definitely won't be returning. The experience was not bad but it wasn't great. Food 4/5: Definitely good here, doesn't stand out much but it's better than average. Food is fresh and priced well. Drinks 3/5: Nothing stuck out about the drinks. Some were better than others and some were just watered down. Over priced for the value. Seating and environment 5/5: They have plenty of seating and the environment is beautiful and very relaxing to enjoy. Service 1/5: Our waiter was not attentive and we paid $140 for our entire order (including shots) we left a $45 tip and we were chased down by the hostess and told us we did not tip enough. Then the manager came out and made us feel threatened that we only left $45. He said minimum was $60. Horrible experience. Overall great place but not worth the drive or experience after feeling like I was getting robbed.
We sat on the rooftop, which felt more like a night club than a restaurant. The DJ was loud and the tables were buying rounds of shots and bottles, making the whole place extra lively. There is a huge menu that ranges from sushi to tacos to burgers.. I got the Kings Favorite taco plate which is a grilled bean, cheese, and steak taco that comes with 3 side sauces and a side of more beans. This place I'd a vibe so come prepared to party.
This is my second time coming to King & Queen in Valle de Guadalupe. The vibe was cool, the music was good and the service was very attentive. Having come on a busy holiday weekend previously, it was nice to have the restaurant basically to ourselves I ordered the blue cheese salad, while one of my friends ordered the seafood rice and the other ordered the chicken tinga Taquitos. The blue cheese salad was really good. I enjoyed the bites that had the blue cheese and nuts because it was simultaneously sweet and savory. The portion was huge so I only had about half before I was full Both of my friends found their dishes to be equally good. The portions were great for the price and were presented beautifully King and Queen is definitely my favorite Friday night spot in Valle and I will definitely return next time I visit!
If you come to Valle de Guadalupe, don't miss this place. Birria tacos delicious! Octopus super tender and flavorful. A nice selection of wines and a lot of fun drinks. The place is very lively, and a really fun decoration and not too far out of the way And last, but not least, the service was great! A great change from all the terrible service we been having at these other so-called five star restaurants. Tony El mesero fue excellente!!! he was very attentive, and it was just the right amount of asking questions and checking in to see if we were OK. Will definitely come back here my next trip to Valle.
We visited many restaurants during our trip, but I have to say this is one of the most versatile places I have visited yet. They have pages and pages of choices not only in drinks, but in food. Their drinks were refreshing, especially during the hot summer days. Their food came out quick. This place is a total vibe. You arrive and you're automatically just happy to be there because it's definitely a cheerful place to come and listen to music and just relax. It is kind of loud so if you're trying to have a conversation, this is not the place to be but if you're trying to have a fun time then it's a perfect spot:
I really wanted to love this place, service by David was perfect, drinks strong but the food was lacking. The hot cheeto fries needed something else, the hot cheeto was not the star of the dish and was overpowered by the sauce. The vegetarian tacos were meh, the tortilla was soggy and the salsa bland. The best dish was the shrimp tempura jalapeño roll which I added cream cheese to and was just really good. We also got the taco sampler plate which was basic, no flavors to write home about. The margarita Sampler was nice it was served with a small firework which was funny to have lit up at an almost empty restaurant. I really wanted to love this this spot as Mr Tempo has such good energy on social media but it didn't live up to the hype. The portions are huge so it's a good spot to go with a group.
I first had King & Queen in Little Italy in San Diego and loved their vegetarian menu so when I was visiting the Valle I had to try it here too! We made reservations that same day on their website and when we arrived we were quickly greeted and seated. They have an outdoor patio and are pet friendly :). There was upbeat music playing but it wasn't too loud where we could still have conversations. We had a 7 yr old dining with us and it wasn't too party-like around dinner time which was nice. We ordered the hippie tacos, tacos de la sierra, and the hot cheeto cheese fries. The hot cheeto fries were so good! Not overly spicy or too heavy. The tacos de la sierra were crispy and flavorful. Their chipotle sauce paired well with the grilled tacos. I enjoyed the hippie tacos a little more than the tacos de la sierra because of the sweet potato tortillas and the avocado puree. So much flavor in one bite! I also had their sangria and I really enjoyed it! It was super refreshing. If you decide to dine here, make sure to also visit the lavender fields right behind their restaurant. The lavender is super fragrant and there are lots of picture ops!!
The view beautiful Food was flavorful, drinks were delicious, to top it off the service A+ can't wait to go back
I'm from San Diego and oh my goodness thia King and Queen location is more lively than the one in SD and that spot is already wildn out! So jsut imagine what this spot is like. Great service, good food. Make sure to double check your cash when paying the bill... the waiters will try and swindle you lol.
Fun atmosphere, reminds me of a Calaveras type of vibe. The food is ok, but not amazing. Servers are friendly and attentive but the service isn't out of this world. I'd return especially if you're looking for something different than a wine tasting experience. Food and drinks are a bit pricey like everything else nowadays. Seems like a fun place to go for a birthday since the servers bring out a Mexican flag and make it a whole production if you're celebrating. Good place to chill for diner on the patio or upstairs if you want a dj and lounge experience.
Weird issue when we arrived -- we had reservations at 7pm but were told at the gate that we could not drive in due to it being "over crowded." They had people pull over along the long drive way & park until they said it was okay to drive in. However, some cars were allowed to go in lol? Seemed like they picked & choosed who could go in. Anyway, after 40 minutes of waiting, I was about to pee my pants so we drove into the parking lot anyway. We get to the stairs to walk up to the restaurant & realize that they were still seating parties, didn't even bother to ask if we had a reservation or not. The reservation was a complete waste & not necessary. I can't imagine how long we would've waited in the car before given permission to park inside. Despite the weird hiccup, after getting seated, we had an amazing time. Our server was so sweet & attentive. She bussed every single plate & piece of trash. Food was amazing. Very consistent with the food we've had at their Brea location. Tomahawk steak did take extremely long -- the rest of us finished our food by the time the steak came out but it was so bomb & mouthwatering. We weren't in a rush so we thought it was worth the wait. Hoping that the "reservation" issue isn't consistent on a daily basis. Other than that, no complaints!

Thank you for your review, Nelly. Hope to see you back soon!
King and Queen was the last stop on a day full of drinking and dining in Valle. I had the margarita flight which had watermelon, cucumber, tamarind, mango, and a spicy one I can't remember the name of. They were all fantastic! The views are great. The restaurant is so cute and modern. I wish I would have had room for food because someone near me ordered the tomahawk steak served tableside and it looked absolutely amazing. Will definitely return and try their other locations! read more

Just walked out the door and couldn't wait to leave a review. A-maz-ing experience. The food drinks and service were out of this world. Today is my 39th birthday and I found this place by searching Yelp for tamarindo margaritas and then I saw the margarita flight and immediately made a reservation. Very clean and safe with the covid protocol. read more

We went early November. I have been meaning to review, but haven't had the chance. It was our last night in Valle and we didn't make one of our dinner reservations. They suggested we come here. We came they were completely booked! We asked what our chances of getting in were and they said very slim. They told us to wait 15 minutes to see if the next reservations didn't show. Thank goodness, one of them didn't show! We went in and they mentioned to wait until we were told to go up. We asked if we could go to the wine bar next to it and they said yes. We had a bottle of wine and once we were done, we got to go in. I'm so happy the people did not show for their reservation! The food was food. The drinks were good and the music was poppin'! Such good vibes all around. You literally forgot that it was raining and cold as heck outside and by the time you left you really didn't care. I believe it was the owner that came to ask us if we were liking everything. Which we were. Even help the ladies take off our sweaters. Honestly great service, food, drinks and vibes. Covid: masks are required. I cannot remember if our temperature was taken. They might have, but the server did have his mask on at all time. read more

Hello Shaan K, thank you for your honest review. Your feedback is…
This location is great but they are very busy! They did a great job maintaining the consistency of the meals cooked, just as the local place in San Diego. However, the service wasn't the best. We came in a big group of about 20+ people, with reservations. Therefore, I understand it's a lot of work but I figured there would be some prep done to ensure timely service remained consistent. We ordered nachos and a breakfast burrito. The nachos were spectacular, as was the burrito. The burrito wasn't anything that blew my mind but the taste was great. Simple foods can go a LONG WAY! Their margarita shots were good, we had the candy pop ones, however - there is something about their mix that's too sweet. This goes for the margaritas as well. It tastes like there is some sort of sugary premixed flavor item added to the tequila - I am just assuming here. But if you are craving sweet, this place is for you! Overall, great food, some room for opportunity but I wouldn't skip this place. read more
