Ortega's A Mexican Bistro

I Enjoy Commin Here Every Chance I Get. Love Inviting Special Friends Too! There Is Always Something Delicious On The Menu...Service There Is Always Accommodating..!

The Chicken Mole Enchiladas are to die for. They were the inspiration for this Slow Cooker Mole . Try making this intensely flavored sauce at home! Get the recipe on kitchenkonfidence.com.

I ordered the chicken mole enchilada based on recommendations and I was not disappointed! It was great! Loved the service

Try the Queso Fundido con Chorizo - Cotija and Panela cheeses with Poblano peppers . Baked and served with Tortillas . Quite the deal for Happy Hour at $5

I will come back just for the vegetarian burrito . Had guacamole made at my table and it was delicious.

They used to have a GREAT happy hour menu , then they increased the prices and limited the options, so we stopped going.

According to LocalEats, Ortega's is the top Mexican joint in San Diego and is one of the top 100 restaurants in the city . I'm not sure it's THAT good, but it wasn't bad.

Try the Puerto Nuevo Lobster / Whole Maine Lobster / Homemade Flour Tortillas/ Rice / Beans/ Arbol Salsa / Cilantro Butter - #Yummy #Juicy #Lobster

The almond margarita is ridiculously amazing. The house margarita is also fantastic, and only $2 on Tuesday (with entree purchase).

The family recipes hail from Puerto Nuevo , which means freshly baked tortillas , slow cooked frijoles and steamed lobsters weighing in at nearly two pounds.

$5 Cadillac Margaritas can't be beat! Guacamole and Ceviche are always fresh and flavorful too!

Pretty decent Mexican seafood . Really great chips and salsa too!

One of the better happy hours . Attentive bar staff . Awesome guacamole .

Ask about the special that includes a house margarita

The Mexican Soda is yummy and a good non alcohol option ☺️

The patio is great. Great variety of food. Try shrimp ceviche .

Try the Baja shrimp tacos !

Chicken mole enchilada & pork carnitas were both amazing!

Not a huge menu but their Mexican seafood dishes are on point!!

It's really great being a vegetarian and getting the cheese appetizer only to be told by the waiter there is meat in it AFTER eating it! I love food poisoning!

Can't go wrong with the $3 Margarita at happy hour .

I recommend the beef burrito - SO GOOD!

Try the Crispy Red Snapper - Banana crusted with tomato mole

Chicken mole enchiladas were amazing.

New Chef and the amazing Carnitas is no longer amazing. Very average and now tiny chunks. Very Sad!!!

Try the carnitas tacos - with Adobo sauce made with Balsamic vinegar and Cloves

The sangria is strong and refreshing. Grab it for happy hour $4.

Try the Mushroom Quesadilla - Portobellos Mushrooms with Poblano Chiles

had their chicken mole enchiladas and they where aaamazing!!! ooh n their pomegranite margarita is to die for!

Try the Puerto Nuevo Tortilla Soup - #Yummy #Spicy #Crunchy

Nice Mexican food .

Great happy hour !!

caesar salad basically from a bag. cheap romaine. chicken tortilla soup is ok.

Try their queso fundido !!

Excellent happy hour every day till 6:30

$5 for preground drip coffee and ceviche that came out in shrimp cocktail sauce ..don't waste your money here

Chips and salsa are incredible, don't fill up on them before you get your meal!

get the Mahi Taco Trio, it is an excellent dish. Read more

Just had shrimp sandia salad for first time - really wonderful dish :-)

Food is good but it does not compensate the fact that "bottomless mimosas " are limited. False advertisement.

Lobster ..!!

$3 Margaritas !!! Hurry hurry!

Try the Huachinango Dorado

Almond Margarita !!

Best happy hour EVER.

Vegi burrito is incredible :-) mmm

Not your standard fare.

AND THEY FORGOT MY SALAD !!! everyone else was served their meal except me. I won't be coming back. And I used to LOVE this place

I can't recommend this for anything beyond the chips , salsa , and drinks. Pomegranite margarita in particular. Food was not good.
