Many visits, first review. Such an awesome neighborhood taqueria. Located in the City Heights area, walking distance from my office, a family owned operation run by a mother and daughter. Always greeted with a warm welcome. The inviting rustic orange hue colors and home vibe makes for a great lunch ambience. I recommend checking out the specials but my favorite entree is the mole enchiladas chicken plate. Never disappoints, good at anytime. Down home San Diego goodness

Love this place! This is my go to food for chilaquiles and breakfast. Their outdoor patio is very cute! Faves: 1. Café de Olla 2. Chilaquiles 3 Enchiladas 4. Pozole My only complaint is that I wish they would serve more food, the portions are pretty small.

Great family owned restaurant- best service in all of San Diego! Try the lamb tacos- absolutely fantastic. Quesadillas were great. The guacamole was fresh and really good and the salsas were fresh and spicy. Sit outside on the back patio, tables are clean and place is very friendly.

10/10 chilaquiles 10/10 fresh tortillas 10/10 service 10/10 fresh juices This place is incredible. Should have 5 stars. Not many gems like this in SD! 20 years of great food and service, and it shows. Can't wait to come back!

Outstanding food! The mole was rich and just a little spicy. The Posole broth was flavorful. We also had the fresh orange juice. It's expensive, but tasted like and orange Julius. It was frothy and smooth. I've never had anything like it. We will definitely come back here

I love ordering their 1/2 pound family style meal! It's plenty of food for two! I like to order it with rice and beans as well. Everything is made in house and it's a family-owned restaurant so it's always nice to support local. There's plenty of street parking, too. Check them out for great service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere.

The hype is real. I've had this spot on my must try list for a while. It took me a while to make it over there because I am rarely in the area. Order the lamb tacos. The conchinita pibil. And the rajas and onion quesadillas. Arguably some of the best tacos in San Diego. The woman who served me was incredibly sweet. She provided advice on what to order and was extremely helpful.

This is a delightful place, it doesn't seem as difficult to park as north park or Kensington, there were actually a couple of spots outside on a Sunday. They have a delightful patio, which is available to rent for events in the evening and we loved seeing butterflies floating around enjoying the flowers. The cafe de olla was delicious and I'm glad we saved room for the flan!

This restaurant is bigger than I thought! They have a huge patio in the back and an altar display to celebrate the Day of the Dead. We ordered a tarmarindo and a hibiscus agua fresca to start with. The drinks came in cute mason jars and were very refreshing. We shared the pozole verde, which is only available Thursdays-Sundays. It was very flavorful and filling. Their house specialty is the lamb barbacoa! I tried that in a taco and it was quite delicious. The pork sope was pretty good and potato taco was alright. They also have tamales available to order for the holidays and carry sweet ones, like pineapple, etc. Overall, the food was pretty good. Service was also friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back for more pozole and barbacoa!

This place feels like grandma's cooking dinner for you. It's lucky the times I've found myself here are Fridays, usually cloudy and rainy ones. Perfect time for Pozole! They only sell it Friday through Sunday so if that's what you want- plan accordingly. The pozole here is green, flavorful, and contains the softest pork I've ever had in a soup in my life, served in a generously sized bowl with a plate of crunchy toppings. I kind of want a little more salt in it BUT I also know it doesn't hurt to cut back a little on that in one's diet so that adds to the grandma cooking vibe for me. The star of the show, the lamb, is worth a trip all on its own. The first trip we ordered the Mixiote which so far has been my favorite thing here. The Mixiote (12oz of marinated tender lamb meat, simmered for hours, with 6 corn tortillas on the side, cilantro, onion, and salsas to make your own tacos) is perfection. The flavor, the tenderness, and tacos are always a winner. The second time we wanted lamb but in the burrito already mixed for us, like totally lazy. It was a little more dry (the lack of the juices in the foil packet that the Mixiote is served in) and the lamb flavor was kind of gone, obscured by the beans and rice. But it was filling and if you just wanted a burrito to slather in hot sauce- you can't go wrong with this tender lamb. The chicken enchiladas (served with rice and beans), quesadillas, and agua de jamaica are tasty enough if you're looking for something else to round out your order. My preferred drink, when they have it, is the horchata. In the quesadilla you can pick from a few different options but I like the squash blossom. I'm not sure how it's prepared, but I think it's kind of a brined version that's actually quite nice with the cheese so anybody can enjoy that, not just vegetarians. I love the flower art piece on the wall inside, but their rear patio is where we sit. It's quite well decorated and we get to spend an hour or so getting a little breeze and eating delicious food. Service is great. The team has a few staff, but importantly mom is in the kitchen, daughter at the register and checking in on tables. Even in the patio we're always checked in on. I look forward to heading back for another Mixiote, trying the bean soup and soft pork tacos, and getting another glass (or maybe a pitcher if I'm lucky) of that horchata.
