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.

The prices were higher than the menu stated online. I expected to spend $31 and it was actually $37. They had not seen a restaurant.com used before so it was extra time for them to process.

wait service slow, possibly inexperienced, but still seemed more concerned with tv than customers. As silly as it sounds, napkins for the large plate of food covered in watery sauces (we like and know Mexican food, sauces are not like water!)where literally see through like they had taken a 2ply and separated it.

When I told the server that the chicken was undercooked on the Flying Saucer, she acknowledged that it was served cold. I told her that I wasn't too upset about that aspect, but the chicken being undercooked could not be overlooked.

Wonderful salad, delicious entrees. In the roast chicken with sausage I would recommend cutting the sausage in slices and incorporate with sauce rather than grilled plain and split.
