The food was very good. I ordered the Chipotle Chilaquiles and didn't realize they came with chicken. I usually prefer my chilaquiles without meat and just with eggs, but they were still flavorful and enjoyable. The menudo was also very good and definitely worth ordering. Overall, I had a great experience and would come back again. read more

Cute little Mexican restaurant tucked away that you need to pay a visit if you haven't already. My first time but the family members I went with had been here plenty. The service was great, staff was very helpful and with a welcoming and positive attitude the entire time that made the whole experience a good one. The food was delicious, I always order chilaquiles at any new restaurant because they are my favorite and a good way to see how good the food can be and these hit every mark. The crunch of the totopos the whole way through was top tier, the taste of the sauce and the balance of spicy and creamy were also slightly addicting. The machaca and nopales were also quite good, they were full of flavor. The tortillas were one of the stars of the show! Freshly handmade and so buttery soft. read more

The server brought us in small plate with Ingredients for all the soups that's crazy Y as well one small salsa for four adults . I was very disappointed for a 100 dollar meal read more

Great food with a lot of options here! They make all of their flour and corn tortillas in-house. They have a good sized dining area with plenty of tables. My husband got the pollo quesadillas, and I got the carne asada tacos. Our food came out fairly quickly, and was delicious! So flavorful and yummy! And very fresh. I look forward to coming back for more! read more

Haven't been here in years. The hubby and I joined my parents here after church for breakfast. Waited for about 1/2 an hour to be seated. The inside of the restaurant looks nicer with the booths. Customer service was good. I was a little shocked to see how much more expensive their plates are now. We paid $23 for our A Caballo Chilaquile plate (which we shared). We also added a side off eggs and flour tortillas. The scrambled eggs were burnt. The tortillas were just as amazing as I remembered them. Salsa and chips were good too. The flour tortillas were the highlight of our meal. I may try some of their caldo in the future.... Hopefully it'll be a different experience. read more

My husband's family has been eating at this place for 30 years! I only started eating their this last several months and I have to say it really is so delicious. It truly taste like freshly cooked Mexican food, from a mama. They even do their own flour and corn tortillas. I love having all the different soups they have there, for breakfast or for lunch. And my family likes that traditional Mexican breakfasts. They also have lunch and dinner. Great place! Authentic Mexican food freshly prepared. read more

Love coming here , food is always delicious. I usually order the Chile rellenos but this time ordered the Birriaquiles and happy I did. They were so good! Definitely recommend. Service is always efficient and friendly. The ambience is always relaxing and welcoming. read more

Had a huge bowl of birria de chivo soup was tender & delicious. Fresh tortillas, side of rice and a michelada to wash it all down. Got a fish taco & it was ok, they should make the tortilla smaller for that item cuz all I tasted was corn tortilla. Super fast and friendly service & will try the other soups and breakfast next visit. With everything getting so expensive these days the prices were fair. read more

Service was great, Food was ok nothing to exciting as the prices were a little high for the quality of the food served. Tortillas are and always be the reason people come through the doors in my personal opinion. Maybe because it was a Sunday. The Ambiance was nice liked the booths. I think they are a place to go if you happen to be there type of place. May try to revisit on a non busy day read more

Menudo blanco is delicious absolutely a must! The fresh handmade corn tortillas are a must! Customer service is always on point. Highly recommend! read more

Fresh chips and salsa are good to start as appetizers. Been coming here since it opened over 25 yrs ago! Great service always! Decor is slightly different with added TVs. The only major difference is the prices, but everything is way more expensive nowadays. The menudo was delicious as the first time I ate it here. My brother had French toast and eggs and liked it. My son had the cheese omelette and beans and potatoes. He seemed to like it as he cleaned the plate. The freshly made tortillas are awesome. read more

Greeted with a smile! Went here for breakfast during the week! It's quite dark inside, so if you have bad eyes like me then you're going to need your glasses and a light from your phone. The food is delicious and so is the coffee! I ordered the Guadalajara and a small stack of pancakes! Couldn't get to the pancakes so I took them to go! They are huge and also delicious! All the wait staff kept busy as more folks piled in. Fresh tortillas are made constantly and doesn't disappoint! They are scrumptious! Come in and enjoy your breakfast! read more

We waited 30 minutes for a table while smaller groups were seated immediately as they arrived. About nine groups who walked in after us were sat right away, simply because they were parties of four and we were five. When we asked about it, the staff just shrugged and said it was because of our group size. The hostess was rude and acted like she didn't care at all. With so many businesses struggling in San Diego, you'd think they'd care more about how they treat people. We ended up leaving -- and honestly, after seeing so many negative reviews about their service and cleanliness, we're glad we did. The place has really gone downhill the past few years, their remodel didn't help much. read more

The food the service the ambiance was great I had menudo and it was some of the best I've had

As I walked in I was greeted by a young woman very nice. The surrounding area was very well maintained and clean. I ordered a small menudo which I wasn't satisfied with it smelt very bad. But overall the fresh flour tortillas were great. read more

One cup of coffee was 5.50 ? That's so ridiculous! With no refills I don't complain much ever specially about prices but a regular plain black coffee seems to way too much. And it wasn't even good. read more

Seeing the hand-made tortillas as you walk in told me immediately that this was going to be good. The aroma of delicicious mexican spices filled the air. Ive gone twice this week. I thoroughly enjoyed my enchiladas and returned for the chiliqiules. Service was top tier. The inside was clean and very spacious. read more

Let me start by saying that if you know you know this is a neighborhood restaurant (it's been around for 32 years). A small restaurant being around for that long is an OBVIOUS SIGN THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS. They have seating for around 65 people give or take so it's not huge or tiny. The food came out quickly (10-15minutes) which is really quick for three different dishes. If you think that's easy to do, I'd like to see you try at home. They were busy for the end of lunch and actually slayed giving us all of our additional requested items but we also asked for everything at once. I see another review on here complaining about not getting everything they asked for but I would BET they asked for each item in 5 minute increments during a really busy time (it's giving never worked in food and not compassionate for service workers busting their butts). THE FOOD, look at the pictures tell me you don't want to phone in an order or meet your friends there next week!!! My shrimp fajitas were plentiful and came out hot and flavorful. My husbands burrito had the most tender and well marinated machaca. My grandpa indulged in his chille relleno and chicken enchilada. Everything was flavorful, hot, and delicious. Lastly, to complain about prices any year after 2020 makes you look stupid. Everything is expensive, no one cares that you're broke or you can't read menus beforehand to make a financial decision that meets your budget. Good food costs money. read more

I ordered the Sopes plate. The food proved to be pretty good. The meat was juicy and the Sopes were cooked well. Topped with sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes. Side of rice and beans. The service was good as well. Nothing special about the service, pretty basic. The place was chill, just some music in the background with tv's playing the music videos. I gave this place a 4/5 cause the price was crazy high... I went to eat with 2 friends and they got a dish as well. Total was $85 with tip. So it feels like each plate was almost $30. If you want some pretty good Mexican food and you got no other 5/5 place to go to... this place will do. #Carlos Approved read more

Food is less than ok. Service is abysmal! Waitress ignore you. Wait time horrendous. Definitely the last time we will be coming.

El servicio es un tardado! Llegas en la puerta y tardan en asignar mesa aún cuando hay desocupadas y la comida está 7 de 10 ya que para ser un restaurante de comida mexicana el sabor no es auténtico, pedí huevos rancheros y la tortilla súper aguada y la salsa no es para nada una salsa de huevos rancheros. Junto con mi orden pedí french toats y al parecer se le olvidó anotarlos y todavía que le hice la observación tardo como 20 minutos después. Si es un lugar ocupado que bien pero yo no regresearia, la crítica es constructiva para que analicen las mejoras. Éxito! read more

Very good service and food, water did taste a bit like micro plastics but that's okay

we had a party of three (3) families. Eight (9) adults, four (4) children. We asked to be seated together. We asked the waitress to give us 3 separate checks. The waitress said it could not be done, we would get one (1) check for all. we asked for the manager she said no! we left! we didn't order any food, just a soda & water. we were charged $8.00. Poor service! read more

Overpriced! The portions continue to get smaller and the prices continue to rise. The hygiene of the employees here, specifically the tortillas makers is disgusting! I watched one of them come out of the bathroom, used her hand to wipe her nose and went right to work!!!! I will never go there again. read more

Customer service was horrible. We we're seated right away but no one ever came to take our order after 25 mins we walked out. This is the second time this has happen to me here, I returned to give a second try and the same issue. What's crazy is both times I've gone the restaurant isn't even packed. I definitely think they need more severs so that there not having this issue. I can't rate the food because I didn't get to try it. read more

On top of them forgetting our order, the red menudo stank like pata. This was for sure the last time I'll be going to this place.

I'm a regular at least once a week I got seated right away was offered coffee like usual I don't know what happen I was upset when I left I was ignored never got offered the menu never got eye contact with anyone except the lady who makes the tortillas I waited and waited and waited so I decided to ask the waitress how much is the coffee she responded me so I got up I paid for the coffee and the hostess said thank you my answer was thank you for what I was never helped and walked out very upset I was really looking forward my usual breakfast don't get me wrong food here is really good but when busy you need to work more on your costumer service it could affect new potential clients read more

Service was good. Food was really good but I had one little problem. The toddler size salsa with the baby spoon.... Like I get it if u don't wanna waist food but if your gonna serve a big bowl of chips you gotta have enough salsa for them I'm just saying, but I appreciate the hospitality great food and clean establishment thank you. read more
