We came here because we had people that wanted sushi and Mexican food. The sushi was meh. The Mexican was actually pretty good. The Agua Chili was phenomenal! Tar tar, meh. Tacos were good. Service was good.

This place was absolutely amazing!! Great service and a beautiful atmosphere from the moment we walked in until we walked out with full bellies and a smile. Shout out to our server Noe who had great vibes and lots of energy, and made our experience so much more pleasant and memorable. To say that the food was delicious is an understatement. My group of four got: Surf & Turf Burrito, Birria Burrito, Quesabirria, and California Burrito. Serving size was fulfilling and the presentation was really nice! Definitely would recommend this place if you're in downtown SD, and definitely would come back!

We stopped by for a quick drink. We were seated right away and the staff was much friendlier than last time. They had music playing the entire time. Our drinks were good and the birria taquitos we ordered tasted great as well.
