Went for some fish tacos for lunch. These are, without a doubt, the best fish tacos Ive had anywhere. Monday-Thursday, $1.00 each. No limit. Rice and beans on request. You can watch the xhef make them and their freshnest is unquestionable. Ive sent many friends and recieved many thanks.

Monday-Thursday $1 fish tacos that are totally legit! We love coming here for fish tacos and chips & salsa. The server is super nice, too.

Food was better in the past, but not any more... Waitresses are rude and you have to ask for every little thing you need... Might try this place in the future if they change ownership/cooks.

Ousters where bad. Not fresh no sauce tasted like a salt lick. Shrimp was overcooked. Lots of good Mexican food in SD. Find another spot.

Excellent service, friendly staff. Great fish tacos, large pieces of fish with a nice light crispy breading. Intriguing decor. We were there for a family lunch. I felt it would be fun at night.

I was hoping that this would be a new go-to neighborhood spot, but I was mistaken. Sure, the food was decent: a solid 7/10 at best, (though I specifically asked for $1 fish tacos, and they turned into another order of $2-3 tacos), but the Margarita I had that was made by the older woman cashier was less than satisfactory. I actually had to ask if there was any tequila in it, because it tasted like a mix over ice. When I let her know, she didnt care and offered nothing, assuring me that she added a shot. Little did she know that I worked as a bartender for years, and I know the difference between a legitimate drink and when someone is cutting corners/lying. Definitely not going back

Went for the first time and I was excited to try and was quickly disappointed when the waitress was rude and acted annoyed we were even there. Then the food was probably the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. Everything tasted sour and now I’m hoping I don’t get sick. I had 4 bites of my food before throwing it away. The place was really clean so I’m shocked the food was so horrible and service, too.

Sat at the dive bar in the back...99c tacos were great for a buck BUT The bartender tried to over charge me for the tacos. Also has to ask for change back when I gave her 15 bucks. The bill was 10 something...cute waitresses, could use some English lessons as well. Would only go back if I had a party or dollar tacos. Would have been 4 stars if charged right and got change back. Also if the bartender spoke some English, that would have been nice too.

Just left there, we ordered our food and we’re enjoying when my husband found a ROACH and we spit out our food.I called the lady serving us and showed her. She said it was from the tortillas and that her restaurant was clean.When we got there the place was empty just us. We thought we’d give it a chance and boy was that a huge mistake. Next call is to the health department. I hope I don’t get sick, I have surgery next week

Ive only been here once and it was for a Quince. Im not sure the price but you can rent this place out for events. Im told that this place is great on weekends. They offer fun drag queen shows. While we were here for Quince several general public left upset because it was closed to them

Review №22

Food was disgusting and over priced. Food did not have flavor. Ordered spicy shrimp there was not a hint of spice they even called it ranchero. Tortillas were so hard as if they were old the shrimp had a weird taste... overall horrible experience and way too over priced for the quality of food.

Review №23

So so. Service. was fair. The margarita was really weak. The quesadilla was OK. I had to double check because the menu said with guacamole and sour cream. So I then got a small plate (too small). I havent tried any seafood dishes which is their specialty. Loud Mexican music for those who enjoy that.

I clearly ordered a california burrito, and they give me different kind of burrito looks like corned beef with some jalapeños etc. I should have open the food before i leave the place to check it. Not good at all.

Got the seafood fajitas and it was a mess of not shelled seafood. Who wants to dig through sauced items to pull out shrimp with heads in tact, clams, and mussels in the shell and full of sand. It took forever to eat and it wasnt even good tasting. The only redemptive quality was my boyfriends chipotle shrimp was delicious. Not worth a return trip though, mine was horrible. I would much rather get Mexican elsewhere. If you are in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and go to Bankhead Mississippi Style Cooking across the street. They are top notch.
