Came here for an early dinner and really loved it. We sat in the enclosed patio area which felt…read morelike a tropical rainforest with all the greenery/decor. There weren't many people there yet, so we had our waiter almost to ourselves. He was very attentive, and made sure we liked our food. We ordered from the Happy hour menu. Hubby's tacos were tasty and the chicken wings were sooo good. Crispy and juicy. I liked that they weren't drowned in sauce, but topped with just enough spice for a little kick. Location--fairly quiet nook close to the train tracks and away from residential or retail. We did not try the casino. I would come again if i'm the area.

Great ambiance, its what sold me on the place for a family get together for sunday brunch. And then…read morethe food also delivered! The place was pretty empty and that was totally ok - service and food was prompt. Highly recommend the mini duck tacos (share plate) and its more than enough for a full meal for one. We also got the burger and it was delish. Our company was also impressed. Prices are on the steep side for brunch but makes sense given its part of the casino. Plenty of parking.

So, when Maggie asked me where I wanted to have my birthday dinner, my response was immediate! Erlene's! A tomahawk steak with trimmings, baked potato, a dozen (yes, a dozen) buttery rolls. And, of course, topped off with her amazing pistachio cake. It was wonderful to be catered to in such fine style by a consummate and caring chef. Al the special touches made the evening so special - birthday banners, flowers, table settings, birthday button and hat, balloons etc. all added to the festive atmosphere. A plentiful meal, wonderful atmosphere and lots of warmth made this a birthday dinner to remember.

To start off, coming here I already had low expectations. You guys have to understand there is no…read moremixed food buffets out here in San Diego anymore. Especially now that Barona is gone! This place reminds me of hometown buffet but just a tad bit better. For the amount of money it cost it ain't all that bad!! I enjoyed the Mongolian beef station and the sushi bar for sure and the grilled chicken as well that they make right there in front of you on the grill. I was a little skeptical to try the sushi section at first but glad that they roll it in front of everyone. As far as dessert goes, I only tried the brownies which tasted great and chocolate chip cookies which were average. Don't come here and expect to get Las Vegas type of buffet. You definitely get "good average food" for a great price especially during lunch time hours. A little over $35 for 2 people for lunch for a full buffet. Employees were great to me for the most part!

This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

But today I happen to be in the area and I told my husband to try this place out. He was so happy! Once you place your order our waitress came with a big plate of sweet bread and you get to pick one! I picked the concha and my husband got the pineapple empanada! We ordered a bit of everything. My husbands go to meal always is chilaquiles. So he ordered the DIVORCIADOS $16.50 Half green and half red with carne asada and beans. We also got the CARNE EN SU JUGO $15.99 And I got the MENUDO ROJO $15.50 Let me start off by saying everything was amazing! It all tasted like it was homemade! Perfectly seasoned, with hand made tortillas. The carne en su jugo was really good! I understand why they are known for that dish. I loved my Menudo! I was craving it and it was perfect. The chilaquiles, the chips weren't soggy, they still had a bite to them. The sauces had so much flavor! My husband and I left with full bellies and a big smile on our faces! All the waitresses and waiters were so nice! Diego was telling us the story of the restaurant. Which was nice to hear. All family owned. Hopefully they open another restaurant closer to us!!! Fingers crossed! I will definitely come back to this restaurant and recommend it to all my family and friends!

I asked for a second cup, hoping it would be different, but it was just as sweet. The jamaica had very little flavor, and the mole chilaquiles were bland and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting.

Sadly, the food was very disappointing, and I don't see myself coming back.
