After spending the last 25 years in the a Seattle area, we really miss good Mexican food. On our yearly visit to San Diego we like to eat at taco shops. This restaurant has excellent food at an affordable price. Server was the best waitress we've had in a long time. She was by herself, but made sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful attitude. You could tell she enjoyed her job. We will be coming back next year. Read more Read less
