Great place for lunch if you like mexican food . They play electronic music ! Try the sangria on tap with serrano pepper . It is a nice twist on that summer classic. Guacamole is awesome as well .

Jake Smith

If possible, grab the hightop picnic table outside before the Padres game lets out, so you can watch all the happenings on 7th Ave. Pacifico tall boys are the go-to drink choice.

Melanie Fletcher

Sit on the bar stools outside to really enjoy SD's weather. The happy hour yellowtail collar is $5 and outstanding! Margs and salsa are kinda weak though. Definitely coming on tues next time!

Kelly Weaver

Fish Tacos were good, the Mexican Cream Corn was even better. Great spot to sit at the bar and watch the world go by while drinking a tasty Margarita with Jalapeño .

Ashley Rose

I love the idea of the taco duel but ended up only liking one of them. Still- fun, clean spot and great DJ

Alejandro Portela

Tacos al pastor and a michelada . The guacamole especial was interesting but I would go with the normal next time.

Saibal Chakraburtty

Disappointed by the Chorizo Burger , which was recommended by Serious Eats. The corn was amazing, and the fish collar was fantastic. Very unique - tastes like ribs !

Patty Gopez

Still dreaming of the Street Corn off the Cobb and the oysters . Beware of their house sangria ... It's super delicious and totally creeps up on you!

Elvin Lai

If you're looking for something spicy , get the skirt steak entre . Flavor profile could be more prominent, I feel like each dish is missing something or the flavor just drops off abruptly.

Jathan McCollum

One of the best places to chill out while visiting downtown San Diego. Great bar , great vibe.

Tyler Tremelling

Tacos were really good... Think the cup of Mexican corn was my favorite thing of the night though

Stacey Neuhaus

Amazing veggie tacos , quinoa cakes , chips and fresh jalapeño margaritas .

Gem B

Everything's good except the disgusting chips . Get a salsa flight to go (even a bag of Tostitos are better than their chips )!

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

One of the few restaurants with the closest menu to mexican tacos . Great place

Kathryn G

The white hot sangria was delicious. Sweet and spicy .

Abi Panicker

Besides the push to leave at the end of the night, nice bar , good layout

Fadi

Ask Steph to make you a cilantro Margarita ! They are SO FREAKIN' DELICIOUS. Tell her Fadi says hi! :)

Noelia P-R

Try the Salsas picante .... & jalapeño margarita !!!! 😋

Kristen Haas

Dogs are allowed on the patio which is nice for urban doggies owners!

Kristen Haas

Great salsa flight at happy hour , only $4, until 7pm M-F

Don Nimura

Two street tacos is plenty of food and they're really tasty

Jenny Soxx

if you find yourself here, snack on the chips and guacamole , wash it down with a Mexican beer , than discuss actual dinner plans.

Tara Snethen

Street corn off the cob.... Like crack.., if you come here you MUST try it!!!

Carlos Padial III

Great staff , great food, great drinks...great new spot in East Village .

Lenny Lesser

The side of black beans is large and very heavy. The corn is lighter and good.

Bryan S

Muddled jalapeño makes a great addition to their margaritas !

Tim Erdmann

The Bland BurroOrdered the Achiote Shrimp and the Jalepeño popper tacos . Both have potential, but lacked any real flavor. The pineapple-habañero salsa with the shrimp tacos had so much potential.

Fernando Melendez

Best side choice: the Mexican corn "off" the cob.

Julia N

Mexican street corn is to die for!

Lisa S

Excellent salmon and kale tacos .

Ricky Silber

Jalapeño popper tacos are serious business and the GM Ryan is amazing.

Billy Amp

It's all about the Salsa Flight ! Chip it up!

Ricardo Ceballos

Good & unique tasty platters

J

The staff can make or break a place. When I went they ruined my night out with friends.

Lisa S

Good tacos . I like the ambience.

Chip M

If you are a drunk Bob, order from the bar and save time.

David Graves

Opt for the kale slaw out of the side options.

Chris R

The fish tacos are amazing.

Dominic Rios

Excellent spot for a drink & apps before a ball game !

Arthur Mitchell

Average. Nice location, but the food is not remarkable. My the hominy in my pozole was over cooked and looked and tasted more like soggy popcorn . That said the dorado tacos were quite good.

Jathan McCollum

Try the veal.biz.

Montre Canady

White wine sangria

Corine Ryan

Red Sangria is on point

Kameron Knutson

Yum! Avocado fritas

Lenny Lesser

Veggie tacos are great!

Mary W.

Authentic corn tortillas

Nicole Cunniff

Beware the bottomless margaritas .

Nate

Yellowtail collar or ceviche is bomb

Neal R

Menu is not that extensive

Doc R

Have the chili-lemon shrimp skewers !
