We were looking for a Mexican restaurant with great reviews and came across this place--highly…read morerecommend! It was pretty quiet and empty when we visited, but we figured that was because it was the day after Christmas. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, which made it feel very welcoming. The woman who helped us was incredibly kind and genuinely grateful that we stopped in. We ordered the shrimp wrapped in bacon plate, the adobada quesadilla, and a carne asada taco--everything was extremely delicious and generously portioned. The reviews definitely weren't lying! This place is an absolute must-try.

The ambiance was a little hot in the restaurant, no one was there but I've been told it gets busy on the weekends. Took us about 30minutes to receive our food which seemed like a long time given no one was there but I believe it's fresh to order so I'll give it that. Overall, it's a good place to check out, the staff is very friendly and personable.

Wow! This restaurant truly made me feel like I stepped into an old-school cantina. From the moment…read moreI walked in, the atmosphere was exciting and full of life. Everyone was dressed up, the vibes were amazing, and the food was delicious from start to finish. The pan dulce was so soft and fresh that it honestly tasted homemade. My main course was flavorful, and the free dessert was such a nice touch. I was genuinely in awe of this place. They also had live music starting around 11 AM, and the way they celebrated birthdays made the experience feel even more special and lively. I was told I NEED to come back and try the seafood, so that's definitely happening on my next visit. Since they recently opened, expect it to be very busy. I went around 10 AM on a Tuesday morning and it was already packed. Parking in the area is pretty tight and not the greatest, but honestly, if you can make your way down there, do it. I had such a great experience that I'm already thinking about booking my mom's birthday here. Definitely recommend for the vibes, music, and overall experience.

I saw this place on tik tok and had to come in to give a try. The theme gives Vaqueros and Vaqueras…read morewhich is basically cowboys and cowgirls. I was honestly shocked at how much decoration and time was put into creating the atmosphere for it. It was truly beautiful inside, giving an image of an old Mexican saloon. I ordered the following below: *compadres chilaquiles = 4/5 - It came with both rojo (red) & verde (green) sauces. In addition it came with chicken, beef, beans, and potatoes. This dish alone was very fulfilling ! The only complaint i have with it was the verde sauce was very acidic and sour. Now i typically like that but man i was making faces with how sour it was. *Huevos Rancheros = 4/5 -This dish was also very amazing. The sauce was amazing, it was also fulfilling. *Birria Tacos = 4/5 - The birria was soft and flavorful. I do like how it comes with a cup of consome. The tortillas were corn and I do wish they were a little better quality. *Agua Fresca Horchata = 5/5 - I am not gunna lie I did love the horchata. And I mean cmon now look at the size of the mug it comes in ! Everything was perfect, the right amount of cinnamon, the sweetness , it was so good ! I would say they need to ease up on the ice a bit. Some important things to note is they do advertise free conchas and desserts. I really wanted to try the conchas but that is only available before 12pm. Anything after that is desserts and can vary. We had a slice of carrot cake and pastry. Please note these are free and that is a great addition to the dine in experience. I would've given this place 5 stars, but man the service was just not there. Now i typically give respect to servers because I get it , it could be busy, they may be tired and are just trying to get by the day but many times our server skipped us over to attend to other tables. He would just stare at us, walk by and wouldn't make sure if we needed some more drink refills or any additional salsa or sauces. There was a free complimentary chips , but no salsa in which we asked nicely multiple times. There were no forks at the table and asked multiple servers and were completely ignored and denied. In addition it felt neglectful that our server would literally stare at us while i was trying to ask politely to have some accommodations met. Overall the food is great, the quality and quantity of food is exceptional. The service does need some refinement. I will be coming back here again, but hopefully i get a better experience next time.

First let me start with the customer service, it was great, from the door to getting seated to the waiters checking on us & the cooks smiling & the speed & quality of the service was all great. And the prices are very reasonable, they don't open till 5 tho, for dinner basically, weekends can get busy so get there early. The food was very good, I got the Chula Vita Ramen & I'd get it again, very filling & flavorful. The sushi was very fresh & good & filling as well, Abre La Boca Mucho was our fav roll, it can be shared with another person for sure, Viva Chula Vista was a good roll too. Miso soup was ok & no garlic edamame they have lemon butter edamame, if you like lemon & butter flavor you'll like it, it was ok but it lack a bit of flavor for me. My fav item here was the Jalapeño Popper as an appetizer, 8 pieces & man let me tell you, it was mouth watering & on point, it's a must to start with.

I'm really glad we did because the food was so good that we actually came back two days in a row -- which should tell you a lot about how delicious it was. We tried a few different items, including several types of tostadas and their shrimp cocktail. Every single item we ordered was full of flavor and tasted fresh. If there's one thing I highly recommend, it's the Chula Vista Tostada -- that was easily one of my favorites. The service was good and the wait for the food wasn't long at all. We went once on Saturday and again on Sunday. The lines were pretty small when we arrived, but it definitely picked up afterward. To anyone reading this review, don't let the negative reviews stop you from trying this place. Sometimes the best way to know is to try it for yourself. Trust me when I say the seafood here is worth it -- you won't be disappointed.

Service is always fast and friendly, making it an easy favorite.

El Prieto (Main St, San Diego) Rating: 2.5 / 5 Stars…read more I really wanted to enjoy my visit to El Prieto, but unfortunately, the experience was a series of "almosts" that didn't quite land. Here is the breakdown of my recent meal: The Food The kitchen missed the mark on a few basics. My bistec ranchero was underwhelming; the sauce was overly "tomatoey," lacking the deep, savory complexity or spice you expect from a solid ranchero. To make matters worse, the rice served on the side was noticeably cold, which is always a disappointment. The Drinks The beverage situation was equally frustrating. I was surprised to find that the bar offers no wine options at all. I decided to pivot to an Arnold Palmer, which ended up being the worst version of the drink I've ever had--the proportions were completely off. Service & Atmosphere The service felt lacking throughout the night, with very little attention paid to the table. Most off-putting, however, is the policy stated on the menu: a 45-minute window to eat. It's hard to relax and enjoy a meal when you feel like you're being timed by the staff. Verdict Between the cold sides, a limited bar, and the rushed atmosphere created by the time limit, I can't say I'd be in a hurry to return. There are too many great spots in San Diego to settle for a 45-minute countdown.

We have visited this restaurant a few times in the past and always had a great experience, which is…read morewhy I confidently recommended it to my family. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different and extremely disappointing. Our waitress, Yesenia, provided very poor customer service from the beginning. She was rude, inattentive, and made us feel unwelcome. Some guests requested water and never received it. Our food did not come out at the same time, and several dishes were cold when served. I also specifically ordered hard shell tacos and instead received soft tacos. One thing we did enjoy was the shrimp cocktail, which was delicious. However, two people ordered it at the beginning of the meal, and only one received it on time. The other person did not receive their shrimp cocktail until about 15 minutes after everyone else had already received and started eating their meals. That delay made the dining experience even more frustrating. What made the situation even more upsetting was how mistakes were handled. One of my friends mentioned to Yesenia in Spanish that the service had not been good, but there was no apology or attempt to improve the situation. Later, while packing up uneaten food to-go, she dropped the food all over the floor and did not apologize or offer to replace it. I also spoke directly with the manager about our concerns. At first, he did not seem to understand me, even when I spoke in Spanish. Eventually he understood, but unfortunately there was still no apology, concern, or effort made to correct the situation. To make matters worse, our bill was approximately $172, and a tip of $24 was added despite the extremely poor service we received. It was embarrassing to bring my family to a restaurant I had spoken so highly about, only to have such a terrible experience. The service was absolutely horrible, and based on this visit, I would not recommend this restaurant.

The owners are from Modena, Italy sharing their delicious recipes from back home. I had to do a little research on Modena because I had never heard of this city. It's north of Tuscany. Modena is a city in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage historic center, luxury car industry (Ferrari & Maserati), and world-renowned gastronomy, particularly traditional balsamic vinegar, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and Lambrusco wine. The restaurant provided complimentary bread with their homemade balsamic vinaigrette, which was excellent!! We recommend trying the following dishes: *Lobster Ravioli (MY FAVORITE) *Bolognese Lasagna *Mushroom Ravioli *Calamari Appetizer -w/restaurant made marinara The restaurant makes their own pasta. For dessert, we recommend trying their restaurant made: * Tiramisu *Crème brûlée (MY FAVORITE) The restaurant offers cooking classes for adults and children (6+) so be sure to check out their instagram page for workshop dates and times. There's indoor and outdoor seating with enough room for large groups. We had excellent customer service by server Jacob and are definitely coming back soon; check it out!! Happy Yelping :)
