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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Tacos al pastor and a michelada. The guacamole especial was interesting but I would go with the normal next time.
Patty GopezJune 13, 2013
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!

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!

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

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

Amazing veggie tacos, quinoa cakes, chips and fresh jalapeño margaritas.
Ashley RoseFebruary 20, 2017
I love the idea of the taco duel but ended up only liking one of them. Still- fun, clean spot and great DJ

The white hot sangria was delicious. Sweet and spicy.

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

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

Try the Salsas picante.... & jalapeño margarita!!!! 😋
Tim ErdmannMarch 19, 2013
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.
Abi PanickerApril 27, 2017
Besides the push to leave at the end of the night, nice bar, good layout
Don NimuraApril 8, 2017
Two street tacos is plenty of food and they're really tasty
Ricky SilberNovember 17, 2013
Jalapeño popper tacos are serious business and the GM Ryan is amazing.
Bryan SMay 19, 2014
Muddled jalapeño makes a great addition to their margaritas!

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

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

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

Everything's good except the disgusting chips. Get a salsa flight to go (even a bag of Tostitos are better than their chips)!
Fernando MelendezDecember 17, 2014
Best side choice: the Mexican corn "off" the cob.
Arthur MitchellFebruary 22, 2013
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.
Ricardo CeballosNovember 8, 2015
Good & unique tasty platters
Lenny LesserJune 10, 2014
The side of black beans is large and very heavy. The corn is lighter and good.
David GravesFebruary 24, 2015
Opt for the kale slaw out of the side options.

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

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

Skip the chips they are disgustingly greasy. They claim it's because they're "fresh" but I've had fresh chips without the dripping grease.

Veggie tacos are great!
