    We came here after our reservation somewhere else was unexpectedly cancelled, and we're so glad we did! They were able to accommodate us right away and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food and drinks were amazing! We had the enchiladas verdes de pollo, which were packed with chicken and full of flavor. The salsa verde was perfectly made and had a nice spicy kick but not too much. We also tried the guacamole with fried pork rinds. It was okay, the guacamole felt like it was missing a little something. The drinks were super cute and delicious! We had the Beso de Verano and the Pineapple Maria Bonita, and both were bursting with fruity flavor and had fresh fruit pieces in them. The atmosphere was so much fun, with great music. Our server wasn't quite as outgoing, but they did keep checking on us throughout the meal. Overall, it turned into such a fun night out! Great food, delicious drinks, a lively atmosphere, and good music. We'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

    I don't see this business lasting very long if this is the level of service they continue to provide. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and paid an additional $50 for their "table decorated with roses" package. Based on the photos advertised on their website, I expected an elegant and thoughtfully decorated table. Instead, I was greeted by a few rose petals scattered across the table and three or four red roses placed in a tall drinking glass--not even a vase. It looked nothing like the photos and was nowhere near worth the extra $50. It felt misleading and honestly like a complete rip-off. To be fair, the food was good. I genuinely have no complaints about the quality of the meal. Unfortunately, the customer service and overall experience overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable birthday dinner. My reservation was originally for eight guests, but due to last-minute emergencies, only five of us were able to attend. From that point forward, the atmosphere changed. Whether intentional or not, the staff became noticeably less welcoming, and the service felt cold and dismissive throughout the evening. They even initially tried to move us to a smaller table, despite the fact that the reservation had already been arranged. Toward the end of dinner, one of my friends asked whether the restaurant offered a complimentary birthday dessert or cake. We were told they do not. Thankfully, we had brought our own birthday cake, even though it had partially melted during the drive. The staff did bring it out and sang "Happy Birthday," which I appreciated. However, had we not brought our own cake, there would have been no birthday acknowledgment at all. The biggest disappointment was realizing that the "table decorated with roses" package was nothing more than a few rose petals scattered across the table. Had I known that was all it included, I would have chosen another restaurant for such a special occasion. Restaurants like Eddie V's provide birthday cards, complimentary desserts, elegant table touches--including rose petals--and exceptional hospitality, all at no additional cost. Here, I paid an extra $50 for decorations that didn't resemble the photos advertised on the website and received service that felt indifferent from beginning to end. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, the customer service, hospitality, and value of the table decoration package were extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant for a special occasion, nor would I choose to celebrate here again. What made the experience even more surprising was that the restaurant was nearly empty during our visit, yet the level of service still fell far below expectations. I sincerely hope management improves both their customer service and the accuracy of their advertising. Customers deserve to receive what is being advertised and what they are paying for. Originally, I intended to leave a one-star review. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because, despite everything, the staff did make us laugh toward the end of the evening, and that was only because of my deformed melted birthday cake and I wanted my review to reflect both the positives and the negatives. FYI: If you're considering purchasing the table decoration package, be aware that you cannot request different rose colors--they only offer red roses with no customization options. More importantly, the actual setup did not match the photos advertised on their website. I recommend managing your expectations before paying the additional fee.

    Went this morning for brunch to celebrate a birthday. The decor is beautiful! We were offered fresh citrus for our water and a small complementary fruit plate once seated. There are mariachi's on the weekend for brunch and they are amazing!! The margarita flight that we ordered was both strong and delicious! They do not skimp on the tequila! For our meals we ordered 3 different dishes to share, the tres leches Dutch pancake, huevos bravos, and a birria omelette with potatoes. The portions were large and everything was so good! Service was great too! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

    We had such a great night out here! The drinks were amazing, I loved my bathtub drink. Fun, creative vibes while still serving really good cocktails. Everyone was so friendly, from the host to our waiter, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious too, and our favorite dish was definitely the firecracker shrimp. We were also celebrating a birthday, and they truly went all out, signs, sparklers, and a great cake. They made it feel really special and memorable!

    New place in downtown San Diego. The ambiance is posh Mexican. Excellent decoration and great ambiance. The service was great and the staff was friendly and chatty. The food was great. I had the salad with the margarita sampler and the filet mignon. The salad was simple but very tasteful, the sampler is a good option if you don't know what type of drink you'd like. My favorite was the tamarindo one. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection with a mole sauce that was as not spicy, it had a bit of a kick but did not overpower the flavor of the steak. The only thing is that I thought the filet mignon was pricey with no sides, so if your order it, add a side or two. Overall, great place and I'd return to try other dishes in the menu

    To the Yelp Community, Mamá X Dios is hands down the BEST Mexican restaurant in San Diego. This is where you enjoy delicious flavorful authentic dishes. Their creative cocktails are refreshing with the riiight balance...making you want to take your time with each sip. The beauuutiful decor, live mariachi band, and very attentive staff enhanced my dining experience...making me say, "Mamá por Dios!". I'll definitely be back Mamá :-)

    This upscale Mexican restaurant has finally opened in the Gaslamp Quarter after a lengthy time in development. The ownership had opened other Mama Por Dios locations in the LA area before launching this version in the SD market. The interior decor was swanky with an outdoor-like courtyard ambiance. A central bar was to the back left of the room while upwards of 50 customers could be comfortably seated in the dining area. It was very quiet on my weeknight visit with just two tables having seated parties. A board containing a complimentary cheesy bread loaf with three salsas on the side was provided while I was looking at the two-sided menu. Appetizers, salads, and seafood specialties were listed on the front page. House specialties, enchiladas, grilled items, and sides were displayed on the back page. I picked the Pulpo Zarandeado from the set of ten choices in the Seafood Specialties. The cooked octopus tentacles were accompanied by sauteed rice, zucchini, mushrooms, and morita chili sauce topped with sprouts laced with sweet and sour sauce. For the $38 price tag, the serving size was modest at best as I have consumed a similar amount of octopus for at least ten dollars less at other places. The zucchini and mushrooms provided fiber to make the dish heavier while the sauces made the flavors saltier than I liked. The service from my waiter was polite and efficient. That aspect along with the decor kept my rating of Mama Por Dios between a three and a four star level.

    Where to start?! Everything about this place checks everything off the list. The decor, ambiance, menu options, live mariachi on the weekends, servers constantly checking on you, delish food .... Literally all boxes were checked. For your water the server comes by with a platter of fresh citrus items to add to your water. Then you get a mini concha to snack on while you go over the menu. These types of touches make a difference. Then for the food so many yummy options, but I chose the mole chilaquiles with chicken. Wish they would have added more chicken, but the mole was delicious. Highly recommend. I ordered the lemon cucumber margarita and that was so tasty and refreshing. All the drinks we ordered were good even the mocktail drink. Our server, Daniella, was amazing. She was on top of our order when one of our dishes came out with some dairy (ordered without due to allergies). She immediately took the plate without us having to say something. Definitely have plans to come back for dinner and brunch again lol.

    Brought my mom here for brunch for her to enjoy the mariachi they have going on during the weekends! She's loved it! The restaurant itself is super pretty and the staff are really attentive, down to the littlest detail of bringing you orange/lemon/lime/cucumber slices for your water. The food was yummy I liked that the tortillas in the Chilaquilles weren't soggy and the French toast had a little bit of crunch to it that I loved!

    We visited Mama X Dios on Valentine's Day during their very first week open, and it already feels like a spot we'll be returning to again and again. Because it was a special Valentine's Day menu, not everything you see online was available that night. That didn't bother us at all. The curated menu felt intentional and festive. The cocktails were delicious and beautifully balanced, the kind of drinks that make you pause after the first sip just to appreciate them. Service was slightly spotty at times, but the place was absolutely packed and it was their opening week on one of the busiest dining nights of the year. We were more than happy to give them grace. We were served by Lalo, who introduced himself right away when we were seated and was pleasant and easy to talk to throughout the evening. The manager, Jacklyn (apologies if I misspelled), stopped by mid-meal to introduce herself and was visible the entire night backing up the team wherever needed. She was lovely and clearly very hands-on. We also had an amazing bartender come by our table and prepare the First Class drink tableside for my partner. We didn't catch his name, but he was a total showman, and it added such a fun and memorable touch to the experience. We started with the Camarones Roca. The shrimp themselves were very tasty and nicely prepared, served over a small bed of salad. That said, the portion felt a bit light for the price, especially for an appetizer meant to share. It's flavorful, but we'd love to see a slightly more generous serving. The entrées were the real stars. I ordered the Filet Mignon Puebla, a bacon-wrapped filet served over rich mole poblano with camarones mantequilla on the side. The steak was cooked perfectly and so flavorful I genuinely didn't want the plate to end. The mole was deep and complex without overpowering the dish, and the buttery shrimp were an indulgent bonus. My partner had the Las Fajitas with Shrimp and really enjoyed them as well. The shrimp were cooked just right and the dish arrived sizzling and full of flavor, exactly what you hope for when you order fajitas. If I had one small note beyond the appetizer portion, it would be presentation on the filet. It was served on a somewhat small plate, which made everything feel a bit crowded. A little more room to let the dish shine visually would elevate it even further. Overall, an impressive start for their first week, especially on Valentine's Day. Great drinks, excellent food, lively atmosphere, and a team that's clearly committed to making it work. We'll definitely be back.

    Thank you - waiting for our bistec ranchero w chilaquiles verdes

    Overall 1 star bc I do not want to mislead my fellow foodies ... I will come back and update in a couple months after I give it a second chance because I believe they have potential to make dishes savory not salty ... my taste buds got a taste of flavor but it was a-salty brunch. ... 5 star for our Tamarind Margaritas and queso fundido ...my friend said Horchata was bland .... service by Briana or Brenda and Manager was also a 5 star ... Music was very good by Mariachi but loud so it was hard to hear our server name. 1 star for our food being Salty... 1 star for not offering the regular lunch menu at 1230-1pm ... would be great if brunch menu was optional after 1230 PM...I was really hoping to try mole enchiladas at 1 pm( lunch time). 1 star for Menu not being updated !!! Disappointed to receive no beans when dish description stated beans included . I think you should let customers know the menu is outdated and xyz is no longer included. 1 star for kitchen staff, please sample your dishes before sending out for saltiness. Also, we requested no eggs ( food allergy) for my friend and they gave us eggs !!!! :( Decor is nice... ambiance was good . Will try again if they will offer the option for regular menu after 1230PM Sunday !

    Had a wonderful dinner here on Thursday. The restaurant is beautiful. Regina our waitress was delightful. The food was really good. I really liked how much effort they put into their cocktails. They put each cocktail into special glasses. It was really cute. Everything I tasted was pretty good except the salsas. Those need a little work. Also the presentation of the garlic shrimp needs to be amped up to fit the aesthetic of the restaurant. Other than that dinner was great.

    We love this place so much we had to come back a second time with a friend celebrating his birthday. The vibe is great. Beautifully decorated restaurant. Amazing service and the food is top tier. Highly recommend!

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)

Caesar said he's been operating his California Burrito Restaurant business for 20 years now. Caesar also said to me that he works with his wife and grown children at his Mexican restaurant every day. My order was placed by Caesar today for my lunch time meal at 12:30 PM. I ordered one Beans and Cheese Burrito. The price is $7.50. Then I had to pay a tip of 20 percent that came up to $1.25. The tax was $1.50. My total purchase today was $9.25. I had to wait at least 30 minutes later until my order number 109 was called to the front counter today. There was non stop walk in customers coming into this California Burrito Restaurant at the lunch hour between 12:30 AM to 2:30 PM today. Their majority of their customers were of Mexican descent and I saw only 3 Black People placing their orders with Caesar today. I was the only Asian person ordering from this California Burrito Restaurant this afternoon. I also noticed 2 Nurses picking up their orders today who work for Sharp Memorial Hospital today. This man and woman nurse were of Caucasian descent. It's interesting for me to get to know the population of people who are living nearby this Starling Drive location. Caesar called my order number 109 today. Then I was served a really HUGE Beans and Cheese Burrito. I also drank cold ice water today. It was a beautiful day today because the weather conditions were very cool and cloudy. I sat down at this window seat so I could see the outside. The Beans and Cheese Burrito was very tasty the beans were refried and thete was a very generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The Tortilla was heated up and slightly toasted. This Beans and Cheese Burrito was a HUGE Size. I wasn't sure that I had an appetite to finish eating this Beans and Cheese Burrito but the flavor was amazing! I kept taking small bites on this Beans and Cheese Burrito for my lunch time meal this afternoon. I also received excellent customer service from Caesar and the rest of his family I saw was working very hard in the back kitchen area preparing and making their very popular Carne Asada Burritos. I also saw Caesar and an older lady sweeping up the floor and also mopping up the floor inside their front entrance to their California Burrito Restaurant Caesar told me to come in again soon to try their Steak Carne Asada Burrito. This item is the most popular food in their California Burrito Menu. I told Cesar the owner 3 I will dine inside his restaurant again soon. I love Carne Asada Burritos.

    When i saw that there was an actually spot called California Burrito, you bet that I had to try a…read moreCalifornia burrito at California burrito lol Got the California burrito, carne asada taco, chicken taco and menudo. Portions were massive but unfortunately there was not much flavor, and im not too keen on hot salsa since i cannot handle spicy. It was ok but unsure if this would be a go to spot. The staff here are friendly and at the time i came, a Wednesday night around 5pm, there was a steady stream of people ordering to go and also eating there The place itself isnt that big. Theres counter space with about 5 stools inside and 4 tables outside. This is more of a take out spot. Parking may be limited depending on the time of day/night you go.
