    My Husband and I sitting outside.

    We had a great meal here. Cute little 59's diner restaurant with great food. Service and food were great!

    Very cute and kitschy restaurant in Roma Norte. Would recommend for anyone looking hearty and filling dishes while experiencing a real passion project of decor. The employees speak competent English but as always, it's beneficial to know Spanish.

    They also have burgers if you are not into potatoes.

    Papa guapa is a restaurant with a potatoe theme. The best part is that all of their dishes are named after a famous actress or singer. They have Papa Jones after Lupita Jones, Papa Selena (self explanatory), papaquita la del Barrio, and Papa Minaj to name a few. Each of these dishes comes with either cheese, meat, shrimp, or vegetables. The choices are many and the flavor is everything. You can't go wrong with any of these famous potatoes. They also offer dessert- banana splits, malts, etc. The inside looks like a 50's diner and the servers are dressed in 50's gear. The music is also 50's theme. The service is good and food comes out rather quick. Truly an awesome experience and highly recommended.

    This is a potato themed restaurant and I love it. They have all of these baked potatoes named after women with "papa" creatively inserted into the title. I got the Summer (roast beef, mushrooms, cheese, and gravy) and my boyfriend got the Rubio (steak, bacon, cheese, peppers, and onions). They were awesome. Very hearty! My type of food. We also got curly fries and a dipping sauce. I ordered the mayo with roasted garlic but they brought me this weird sauce that tasted like vegetables. I also ordered a Dr. Pepper and my boyfriend got a chocolate-banana malt. The server brought us our curly fries and then our baked potatoes. After that, I asked about our drinks and he finally brought me a can of Dr. Pepper. My boyfriend didn't get his malt until after he had already finished all of his food. The food was great. Great combinations! However, it was pricey and the service kind of sucked. The potatoes were 100+ pesos and the can of soda was 40. I've purchased other imported soda from convenience stores for half of that (or less). Despite all of that, I would totally come back here. I wish there was a restaurant like this in San Diego.

    Green mango michelada! Soooooo good!

This small bakery is off on a side street and the only reason why I found it was because I just happened to be close to exchanging money. In fact there are at least five or six other small restaurants on the same street. I bought just a single Danish that had some type of pineapple filling. There were so many more like strawberry and orange that were equally tempting. I already knew I wasn't going to go for some heavy chocolate pastry or even a concha for that matter. Calories are important these days and I think I made the right choice with the pineapple danish. The first bite is awesome!

And they took my order w/ no problem. They were super nice. Place is super clean and they have good music. So atmosphere pretty cool, great spot to meet friends and hang out or just have a tea, latte, coffee whatever. Crêpe was good but not the best I've had, the dough was thick for my taste and apparently at this spot all the Crêpes have cream cheese. Make sure to tell them no cream cheese if you are lactose intolerant. I asked if they could please remake it because I was lactose intolerant and they fix it with no charge. I was so happy and the fact that they had an amazing attitude made the Crepe taste better. Other than this place is awesome Muchas gracias por sus atenciones y las delicias.

There's variety of choices for crepes but i don't want to take the risk cuz it's in Spanish, I can't understand what's in the crepe. No english translation. My husband ordered waffle.

A Server came out and greeted me, and I just parked myself in their outdoor section within the food court area. I started out with a cafe Americano con leche, as well as, a pan de dulce. The coffee and pastry was pretty average tasting. So I just sat there for about fifteen minutes, and nobody bothered to come back to see if I wanted to order something else. It seemed like the workers here were busy organizing their stuff behind the counter, and I didn't really want to bother anybody for service. The indoor shopping area is what makes this restaurant unique, but I didn't pick-up any special vibe from here.
