Had the pork Carnitas , nice! I recommend the tequila Paloma cocktail , they use Patron and it's well prepared.

Steak is not always good. Try shrimp fajita instead. It never disappoints.

The margaritas are strong, if you can wait the standard 20 minutes to get one!

Middle of the road Mexican with outdoor seating .

Try the Burrito San Diego (#146). It will change your life.

Jason Haugh

The Speedy Gonzalez is excellent for lunch .

Stuart Kirk

Don't buy the margarita pitchers . They fill them completely full of ice and then rape you on the price of them. Order individually if you must.

Lindsay Beach

If you like chimis tell them you want it well done!

Chris Puskar

#154 is fantastic!

Don't order steak with temp it won't be right! If you want good service go to sonic! At least you will get what you want. Big let down!
