    California burrito $6.80
    Nathan P.

    Recently, I have started to get the ceviche here and I did not regret it, order the shrimp ceviche tostada and for about $10 you will have a great lunch. Obviously, you can't go wrong with a California burrito or taco Tuesday but this is my new go to Mexican seafood place

    Dorito elote!
    Taelyr V.

    I've been coming here since 2008. Though I haven't eaten here in years. The food is still as good as I remember it. My bean and cheese was fantastic. Beans perfectly seasoned and just delicious. My fiancee loved her Cali burrito with Carnitas, she said the carnitas were fantastic. We also got the dorito elite and unfortunately that needed some salt, but was still fun! The shop is small and most of the seating is outside. Staff is always friendly as well. I'll be back again!

    I give it a star because the beautiful cashier pipis was very nice but I came her to get what I was craving for chicken nachos they where horrible the chip were cold , the chicken was old and cold omg!!! The beans were old and cold I had to throw them right in the trash 16.75 but I paid 18.05 somebody per pairing my good had to be sick ! Cause after eating the food I got scratchy throat now I feel like I'm coming down with a cold!!!!!!! DAM!

    This place gets better everytime, no joke, i aint even that kinda guy to hype anything. The california burrito, and the red salsa FIRE!! I tell everyone this is my fav joint

    Rolled tacos
    Tiffany P.

    My go-to item every time I try a New Mexican food spot is always gonna be the rolled tacos. Palmitos did a solid job--fried and super crunchy tortillas, the meat was seasoned well, and the toppings were plentiful (lettuce, tomato, cheese). I would come back especially for their taco Tuesday deals and their seafood options!

    Horchata, bean and cheese burrito, 3 crispy rolled chicken tacos.

    Great food, really nice staff, and chill place to eat. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and don't know what to eat.

    Outdoor seating
    Jiselle T.

    This place is clean, nicely decorated, outdoor seating. I had chilaquiles and they were good, but a bit too spicy for my liking and I wish they also came with rice. The service was good too, I would like to come back to try something else. They have a taco Tuesday special.

    DELICIOUS MESS OF A MEAL: 2 Chilli Rellenos Topped with Cheese, and a serving of Mexican Rice and Beans, with Tortilla Chips.
    Bryan And G.

    We wanted to update our review by saying that they are serving up delicious to go meals. In addition, they are served with a friendly spirit, and there's always plenty of food. I ordered two Chili Relleno with Rice and Beans, and my partner ordered an Extra Large Burrito. We even were given lots of extra salsa; which in the past, they were very, very stingy about giving out. NO MORE!!! I point this out because my partner likes to have this with his meals, whatever it is.

    The place

    Horrible customer service. So we went on Sunday November 10 at 9:05pm and the girls that were there were cleaning already and getting ready to close. We were very hungry so we picked this place to try it out as our first time. When we were about to order the girl that was taking the order told us that they were only serving for take-out, not dine in, I was like "but you guys close at 10pm" and they just said sorry. I have never seen a restaurant that needs an hour head start cleaning. We live 20 miles away so what were we supposed to do? Eat our food in the car or eat the food cold at home. I will tell you this, I know for certain I will NEVER eat at this place. Horrible first experience.

    I drove 150 miles and was looking forward to a good meal and a quick stop to refresh, but this place was a complete letdown. The customer service was terrible. The staff seemed uninterested and unwelcoming from the moment I walked in. I asked multiple times to use the bathroom, and every single time, I was told that "someone was inside." It was obvious from the employee's expression that she simply didn't want me to use it. It felt like I wasn't welcome there at all. On top of that, the food was mediocre at best--not worth the drive or the hassle. If you're looking for a place with good service and hospitality, I'd recommend going somewhere else. Definitely won't be coming back march 22, 2025 7:30 PM

    Tostada, taco, enchilada combo!

    Love this place! Super friendly and the food is awesome! I try to stop by every week when I'm in town!!!

    Chilaquiles Rojos.

    Honestly top two best chilaquiles I have ever tried. My mom got the barbacoa plate, it was really good as well! Price is good, service was a bit slow but it was because it was extremely full. Clean place as well. Honestly 5/5.

Unfortunately, the grilled fish was a disappointment and didn't live up to the rest of the dishes.

    Delicious food, great view, and wonderful hospitality!…read more On our last evening in San Diego, we went to Coasterra to wrap up our vacation there. This restaurant came highly recommended by major Visit San Diego websites, and we felt we should give it a try. Located right next to the water, the restaurant offers expansive view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. Sitting is about 50/50 indoor vs. outdoor, and we chose the indoor sitting as it tended to get colder in the evening. Parking is available out front, but we took Lyft there. We came in around Happy Hour, and we were able to score two appetizers for $11 each. We got fried calamari and fish cervice as appetizers. For entree, we had the fish tacos and scallops. Both of the appetizers were excellent, and the cervice was so light and flavorful. My husband loved his scallop entree, and the taste and presentation were original and outstanding. My fish taco was enjoyable as well. For dessert, we had fresh churro that was paired with ice cream, which was excellent as well. Our meal came to $143 with taxes, which was a very good value with the quality and services offered. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, which made us felt right at home. As for the ambiance, it felt modern and relaxed. There were diverse customers from locals, tourists, and business people. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will return.

We hear happy hour on a week day is the best time to indulge.
