It was busy, and I was just one person, so I sat at the bar. The bartender was very attentive. The house margarita was great, and although it was happy hour and finger food available, I ordered dinner. I had a few chips and salsa from the happy hour offerings, and the salsa was delicious, with just the right amount of heat. I had a shrimp dish, and the portion was enormous! The shrimp were plentiful, and it had so much yummy flavor. I recommend this place if you're hungry for a great meal.
The food was perfect! The manager, Filberto came out and addressed my food allergy (Anaphylactic- Seafood) concerns. The service was above my expectation.. The waitress made my visit special!! Try the Mango Margarita's!! Best place to eat!!!

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in San Diego! The food, service and atmosphere make it a locals favorite as well as a must if you are in town visiting!!
Fast service, friendly staff, delicious food. This place is consistent and have never left disappointed! Best Mexican restaurant in the area.
Great place.. beautiful courtyard dinning!! I do my best to stop in every time I'm in town.
We love this place.
Always have great friendly service and food and drinks have been great.
Great food and awesome service!. We had the enchiladas supremas they were the bomb. Feels like mexico, freshly made tortillas yummy!
I love this restaurant!! Great food, big portions. The pina coladas are amazing. They are always busy but worth the wait. I also love the mariachis.
Amazing authentic Mexican food in old town San Diego. We waited 1.5 hours to be seated on a busy Friday evening but the wait was well worth it.
First time experience was not very good, it was EXTREMELY good!! Chips and salsa were good. Chicken enchilada was good, rice and beans were good. It was fun how they presented the rice in the chip bowl. It gave the plate some height, and made the presentation nice. Beef fajitas were good. The kids meal fried fish was good, they were light and crispy. Atmosphere was super fun, it was a gorgeous evening, and the space heater lamps turned on and felt nice against the small chill in the evening air. Flags and colored lights, as well as umbrellas made for a beautiful setting. Staff was friendly. We will definitely come back!
The atmosphere, service and food was great.
Love the outdoor dining for sure.
The service was fast, we were arrived around 3:30pm at that time.
This place is great. Expect a wait to get in because it’s pretty popular. The food is great and they serve big portions. The margaritas are amazing. The ambiance is a fun and happy environment. The live music adds to the experience. I did have have an issue with my order but they were able to fix it. I recommend the fish tacos and their shrimp mango tacos.
We were there for lunch. The place was nicely decorated. The waiting time is short and there were a lot of options for Mexican food. The portion is huge. Not sure how authentically Mex this place is but it is worth 5 star for the ambiance and the prompt service. It has free flow of corn tortilla chips.
Great food and great margaritas! I tried to make a substitution and our waiter talked me out of it and he was SO right!! We had a large group but the food came out lightening fast. Definitely sit outside - they have patio heaters and it’s wonderful!
A true Mexican experience. The decore, the mariachi band, the setup, the clothes of the servers, the food and the taste will remind you of Mexico.
Their drinks are humongous and tasty, the margaritas lime or strawberry are delicious , the crystalline is as good a well.
The fajita, both chicken and beef is amazing, their beef burrito and tacos are out of this world.
All their plates are larges, so pack a good appetite.
Highly recommended.
We came on a busy day. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. I had the enchilada trio and michelada 👌 chips and salsa were bomb
Amazing atmosphere and great service.
We have visited this place during our visit to San Diego, we have ordered Chicken Tortilla soup to start with which gave us more craving on the food. Flattered with their margaritas, chicken tacos and polo enmole tastes authentic.
Kids will enjoy this restaurant. I loved the setup for patio seating. I am definitely visiting this place on my next visit.
What a pleasant surprise in San Diego. Ordered the beef fajitas and were enough for the heartiest of appetites. A trio of musicians entertained us thru dinner. Left over takeout for both of us. Clean and just what you expect from a Mexican restaurant - great service, ample food and more
Loved it! My favorite Mexican restaurant! This place doesn't disappoint, prompt service, beautiful atmosphere, amazing food and a shopping street next door.
Lovely little Mexican restaurant in Old town San Diego! The food and atmosphere was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in my whole life! The patron margarita is enough to come back on its own. The mango quesadillas are mouth watering just thinking about them! Excellent service and easy to find parking right on the side. They have their own lot! Next time I’m in San Diego will definitely make a stop here first!

I went here as the last stop before heading to the airport at the end of my vacation. We went on a Monday evening, and were sat immediately. Although it was a Monday, it was decently lively which we loved! Our server took our order but seemd very distracted, looking in every other direction except in ours. We got the Chipotle Chicken Taquitos appetizer, a Carne Asada Tampiqueña entree, and a Grilled Carne Asada and Shrimp entree. Overall some items were a miss: the chipotle broth in the appetizer and the rice in the entrees which were plain and lacking flavor. On the other hand some items were a hit: the steaks, shrimp, beans, the fact that food is steaming once you get it, and the quantity of food you get! The only complaint is that they go too hard on food “presentation” and it takes away from the dining experience. I don’t need to scoop my rice out of a tortilla bowl, nor do I need a huge leaf of lettuce in my meal for decoration purposes.
Overall I would recommend this place if you’re in the Old Town area, as the atmosphere is unmatched.
Great Mexican Restaurant!
Really nice service and awesome food! Also the both margaritas (we had peach and mango) were awesome!
Big portions for an absolut fair price.
Every time again!
Wow, what a great place! Food was fast and fresh, service was excellent! Ambience was cozy and gorgeous outside. 5 stars! We will be back!
Atmosphere excellent. Food was amazing! Large portions. Service great! A must stop when we visit San Diego.
I ordered the Mexican salad, cilantro lime dressing was amazing! Margaritas are huge too. Place had a really cute outdoor patio with fountain. Great food, drink, and atmosphere.

Do not go anywhere else!!!
The absolute, hands-down, the best authentic Mexican food restaurant in San Diego! The salsa was off the chain good!
You could tell the chips were homemade. The food was prepared fresh when ordered. I had the chicken Burrito and beef enchilada, and my husband ordered the fish tacos, and both entrees were fresh and delicious.
The few days we've been here in San Diego, we have searched several restaurants to find a decent margarita. Well, we found it here at Casa Quadalajara. Their margaritas were very good and they have the best virgin Pina Colada I've had in a long time!
The service was excellent! Very friendly atmosphere, ambiance, and decor was great! I highly recommend this restaurant for true authentic Mexican food. 👌
My husband loves Mexican restaurants and their food because their servers don't mess around... you get hot, fresh, delicious food without having to wait forever for your food, great service, and prices are extremely inexpensive. They get you in and out!
