Sep 14, 2026"1st time visiting San Diego & I was looking for a great place to eat Mexican food. My uncle bought me here & boy was this place great. Food was made hot & fresh & the staff were very friendly. This place was so good I went back for breakfast which was just as good. I definitely recommend going here."

I can eat, and I had to bring home half of my chimichanga. Half of it was the size of a full burrito. Filled to burst with chicken and veggies. The rice and beans on the side were spectacular! They have beers too so I washed it down with a cold Modelo. Couldn’t have been better!"

I wish we could have come back for lunch or dinner. I’m sure it’s great for that too! If you stop in, try the salsa bar"
