Hasta Mañana Cantina

Close to my hotel and it was surpringly quiet for a Friday evening. But nice and clean with sports on many TV around. Service was great but not in your face. Nice margarita although was a bit strong for me, would have been better in a taller glass with more mix. Very nice chips and salsa and fish tacos where good but not special, maybe too much spicy salsa before. But I will go back as very pleasant experience

Evan was a fantastic server!! The vegan tamales are excellent - fresh corn tamales and really flavorful and well seasoned. Really high quality authentic Mexican food with fun fusion twists. Good drinks as well.

First trip to San Diego. Hasta Mañana Cantina was perfect! Great drinks, great food, great music, beautiful decor! AMAZING STAFF! Overall great atmosphere! Definitely stop by if you are in the Gaslamp District. 😀

Food was delicious and staff is outstanding! 5 Stars! Would have took a picture but I ate the food too fast. The hostess at the front door was kind and inviting. Denise my server was absolutely fantastic! She explained the menu, clearly demonstrating a knowledge of the dishes on the menu and was very pleasant! I'll be back my next time in San Diego!

What a great place to hang out. We stopped by on a Sunday and watch part of a playoff football game. Service was top notch and host at the front was super friendly with my kids and won them over when they were being finicky. He was really great. Food was on point as was service. The beans at this place are amazing! Definitely worth a try. They had a special for trash can nachos which were so so good. Added shredded beef to it and seriously top five nachos all time.

Sat at the bar. Bartender didn’t seem very interested but food was good! Ordered chips and salsa and it didn’t disappoint!! Food was a bit pricey but standard for around here. $80 total

The food was amazing, and the portion size is perfect (aka big). The drinks are strong and delicious, and I highly recommend the tropical margarita. Our server Christian was on top of everything and a professional. The GM Mr. Miller made us feel welcomed and gave us great recommendations on the menu. I will definitely be making this my go-to for pre & post game spot for Padres games or any other event downtown.

The food and service was awesome. Melissa was our bartender and made some great recommendations for us when we went in last night for Taco Tuesday. My Fiancé and I got the white fish ceviche to split, and I ordered the Pozole with beef and he ordered the Fajitas. I really enjoyed the ceviche (nice and acidic) and the seasoned, thick tortilla chips that it came with. The star of the show for me however was the pozole rojo in which i added beef to (the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender)! It was delicious, came with cabbage, onion, cilantro, oregano and red pepper flakes on the side and they don't used canned hominy! The steak and chicken in the Fajitas were also very tender, and my fiancé appreciated the fact that it came with 4 tortillas since most places serve fajitas with 3 on the side. Since we liked spice, we enjoyed everything with their habanero salsa and some extra serranos. The margaritas were also balanced and not too sweet. Great experience overall and we will definitely be back!!

I stopped in to watch the UFC fight tonight. We were greeted by our host outside very friendly gentleman who took us to our table. Our server Jr was amazing very friendly and helpful. He kept checking on us throughout the night. The General Manager I believe his name was Pete was also very attentive checking on everyone in the restaurant. I'm from Los Angeles and it's rare when a team of people come together and take care of the customer and the service is GENUINE and not fake. I applaud the owner for hiring such amazing people to run this place. Thank you form making my stay in San Diego that much better.

The location is terrific, it's in the Gaslamp District and just down the street from our home. It's cute and the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered Chips & Salsa - the chips were (chef's kiss) and the salsa was excellent. When they served the chips I had to do a double take, they were seasoned and almost looked like a brand name of tortilla chip (you know, the flavorful orangey one). But those were nothing like what you get at the grocery store, sooooooo good! They had a good beer selection and a full bar. It was December and they were offering a Gingerbread Martini, which I HAD to have. I am SO glad I did. SO yummy, I could have had a couple more! I ordered the Crispy Tacos with Chicken Verde, which were fantastic. My seatmates ordered the Cheese Enchilada and Carne Asada Tacos, both dishes were thoroughly enjoyed by my seatmates. The Carne Asada Taco's shells were slightly crisped before the ingredients were added, that was a great touch! They had plenty of TVs around, and lots of sportsball was being watched. My only complaint was the noise level. It was busy and the noise was absolutely awful. I don't know why people designing these places just assume that the seat coverings are enough to dampen the noise, they are not. (or maybe they don't care, or just don't think about these things?) We were sat at a large booth and could hardly hear each other. (are we the only people that enjoy conversation while we dine?) Will I go again? Yes. However, we'll go at an 'off' time so that it's less busy and we can have an actual conversation. I look forward to a repeat chips and salsa order and maybeee trying something new! (although those tacos were so good that I might now) Thank you for reading my review.

Brunch vibes at Hasta Mañana Cantina in Gaslamp are on another level! Their Baja coastal cuisine and lively atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a weekend feast --and to to catch your favorite football team on game day! We kicked things off with their Super Guac with Chicharron (a must), dove into Chilaquiles Rojo with Beef, and wrapped up the savory side with the Machaca Burrito--slow-braised beef heaven! And don't get me started on the Concha (Pan Dulce) French Toast...a total sweet dream! Ending on a high with Loaded Surf & Turf Tacos, paired perfectly with achiote rice and slow-cooked beans. Spooky season vibes were in full effect with a Los Muertos (Serrano-infused Mezcal Union Tequila) and the Pumpkin Pie Shots--treats with a little trick! And of course, I had to try the Tropical Margarita, complete with tropical tea, guava, and an actual watermelon ice cube! Pro Tip: Don't forget to ask for their house-made salsas--it's a must to mix the two! The vibrant decor matched the boldness of the food and drinks, making the whole experience unforgettable! Big shoutout to Asim, Nastasia, & Krista for the warm hospitality!

The hostess was extremely friendly and gave us her recommendations as this was our first time dinning here. That's where our customer service ended, our waiter wasn't rude but was definitely not friendly. We ordered from the happy hour menu and did half orders of everything, which was inputed wrong in the system and we got full orders. Everything tasted okay, the only thing that had more flavor were the mole wings the hostess recommended. This is a place you want to visit during happy hour as ordering from the regular menu and paying full price to the flavor you get is not justified. There was music playing in the background which made time go by a little faster as our items did take a bit to come out.

Fun place with vibrant colors and good vibes. Staff is friendly. Gavin was cool. The tropical margarita was delicious. The giant watermelon ice cube is a unique touch to the cocktail and fun to break down and munch on while drinking. The seasoning on the chips was fantastic and the salsa was fresh. Both the surf and turf burrito and the Cali burrito are good and plentiful, but the beans were super salty. The rice balances out the salty beans.

The name of this new restaurant is pretty catchy and I was impressed by the customer service. As we walked by we were given a warm welcome by the hostess and another staff member. As you walk in, it opens up to a large square bar in the middle and seating around the perimeter, which is pretty standard for gaslamp bars. There is also is another room at the back which would be a good spot for private parties. I also liked the ambiance here, a hip vibe with some interesting art. To continue the great customer service, we were quickly greeted by 2 bartenders and after ordering our drinks, they arrived quickly. We ordered the Going back to Mexicali and Carajillo - both tasty and decently priced for gaslamp ($15 and $14 respectively). While we didn't have much time to hang out here, I enjoyed it and would like to come back for their happy hour (M-F 3-6pm).

When we noticed the people seated next to us returning their food, we should have taken it as a sign and left. While the ambiance at Hasta Mañana Cantina is appealing, the food and service fell short. The dishes were overwhelming, with too many toppings that detracted from the actual flavors. We tried the surf and turf tacos, fish tacos, and a chicken quesadilla. Unfortunately, the quesadilla made my friend feel sick. The tacos were okay, but the excessive toppings masked the taste of the meat. On a positive note, the manager did make an effort to rectify the situation by removing the quesadilla from our bill and going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. However, the overall experience just didn't meet our expectations.The ambiance is there, but they need to improve both their food and service.

Loved the food, it was excellent. Good vibes! Marina Helped me decide on a dish and had many recommendations. She asked questions to get to know what I liked and also shared what she liked. I made an informed decision and thoroughly enjoyed what I received. Service was impeccable, Justin helped me and was speedy and informative. Showed genuine care for what I wanted.

"See You Tomorrow" Cantina took over this corner space in the Gaslamp Quarter when the former longtime tenant decided to move two suites northward on Fifth Ave. The interior was spruced up with neon coloring and patterns to make it look more upscale. There was at least one convention happening in downtown during my visit as quite a few customers had a lanyard badge around their neck. It's always good to see this area buzzing on what is normally a slow weeknight. The menu had a focus on Baja coastal cuisine, however the copy I received seemed incomplete. The online version had an Entrées section that listed six items. It was missing from the sheet which probably meant the kitchen wasn't ready to serve the entrées yet because the place has been open for less than one week. Appetizers, soups/salads, taco plates, and more were the categories. My initial plan was to order an appetizer and a taco plate, but my server said the plates were large as they included two tacos (or a burrito) plus achiote rice and slow cooked beans. I heeded his advice and picked the Flautas de Tres Carnes. Amarillo pork, rojo beef, and verde chicken were stuffed inside a flour tortilla and deep fried. There were four pieces that were stacked and topped with lime crema, salsa fresca, guacamole, chicharron, cotija, and pickled onions. Not only was this item packed with flavor, but it filled me up by itself. I did want to try something else so I saved one of the flautas to take home and asked for a cup of Pozole Verde with rojo beef added. The green broth was laced with anaheim and serrano chiles, hominy, cilantro, chipotle, and crispy shallots. Cabbage shreds, oregano, and red chili flakes were provided on the side as additional toppings. I probably didn't need the beef as the soup had plenty of seasoning even without the oregano and chili flakes. The spiciness was quite mild. At the other tables, the common theme I noticed was a lot of food on the plate. They don't seem to skimp on the serving sizes at Hasta Mañana Cantina so the prices appear to be justified. For a new, mid-level Mexican restaurant, my dining experience was satisfactory enough to earn four stars.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in San Diego! I attended one of the opening celebrations, and had a great time. The restaurant space is beautiful. It's vibrant and modern. I love that this is a block from the Gaslamp sign, in a bustling part of downtown. I had the bean & cheese burrito, and it was to die for! My friend and I are still talking about it. The server was so friendly. I apologize for not remembering his name. He helped us decide which items to order and gave excellent service.

This was a pretty disappointing experience overall. We went during Comic Con. Service was fine, but my drink was forgotten until I asked about it. Food - $20 for a mehhh burrito is not the jam. My table got tomwo burritos, some rice and beans + drinks. I think our order came out to $70 for three of us. Imagine how many tacos that would be - tastier and more filling. Ambience - On the plus side, the ambiance is clean and bathrooms increased in size.

O M G! Chilaquiles have been one of the best I've had in San Diego. Way better than Cocina 35. If you like crispy chilaquiles you will love this! Perfect spiciness! I will be back for them.

A good, old San Diego friend invited me here for an industry night mixer and it was a decent time. . What I really liked about Hasta Mañana is the layout of the space and the impeccable design and decor. They have beautiful green lights with hues of black, purple, blue and yellow sprinkled throughout the restaurant. The artwork is colorfully trippy and it's spacious and clean. . A confidently cute and quirky host greeted me and led me to The Monkey bar which is a smaller/semi private dining room in the rear of the restaurant. Melissa & Naz were our bubbly bartenders and kept the drinks flowing and were lively. Naz made me something light and sweet which is my favorite kind of drink. A half hour into my time here, chicken and beef tacos were presented with corn & flour tortillas and toppings. The tacos were juicy, but could have used some salt, I still ate three of them as I socialized. . Next time I'm in San Diego, I definitely want to come here again and try other offerings on their menu, but I had a great time and would definitely recommend.

Stopped by for some drinks and are so glad we did! It was happy hour so we ordered some Margaritas and some Aguachile for the table. I personally really enjoyed the black salt on the Margarita. For the Aguachile, I thought it was interesting to put avocado gelato on top, as I've never seen that be done before. It was an interesting choice but other than that we really enjoyed the Aguachile too. Cool place!

The ambiance was great and service was fairly quick, very accessible to the convention center too. The food was well seasoned and the portions were pretty big.

Updating my review after my recent visit. Since they've been open a bit longer now, they got it together and the chips are on point! Crispy, seasoned, and authentic. This time, we ordered the guacamole and it came with a huge portion of avocado and then a plate of adorable mix ins, including cheese, jalapeños, cilantro, red onions, tomatoes, limes, and pork rinds. This was fun and everyone could make their own portion to their liking! Carne asada tacos and California burrito were huge and loaded with fillings. The side of rice and beans were great as well. Staff is very friendly and service is great. We also sat outside this time and it is great for people watching on 5th Ave. the street is also closed here which is nice that there are no cars passing close by, only pedestrians.

Super friendly service. Happy hour drinks are great price and they don't skimp on the pour. The portions are really big, and everything was really good. Drop on in.

At first, we were seated by the entrance. And then the restaurant manager on duty (guy with glasses) sat us on those nice looking tables with those cool pictures hanging on top. The service was great, the food was okay. However, they had this Wasabi Ice Cream on the top of their Ceviche (which is new to me)...... I surprisingly loved it.

Walked up and down the street about 3 times looking for something with a great ambiance and were greeted by a cute girl Demaris who lured us in with her Latina charm. The playlist was an addition to the charm for sure. I'm not going lie the apps were the best part. Skillet elote is a must. It was not only creamy and delicious but it stayed hot through the entirety of the experience here. Classic ceviche was my absolute favorite, perfect amount of acid and just a little kick of spiciness. The grilled chicken plate was ehh. There was more seasoning on my margarita than the chicken but it was mediocre. Plus the menu says lime crema and it was non existent. Food runner Lola was adorable and very accommodating. The bartender (Hailey) was outgoing and made some excellent margaritas. She had a beautiful smile and personality. Sorbets were super tart and freezer burnt. Had the lime, passion and Guava. Guava was the best. Overall ambiance and service plus the ceviche drove my review.

This is the latest and greatest Cantina to open up in the gaslamp district in downtown San Diego. Parking can be a little difficult in the area, so try to pre-plan that as best you can. Right when you walk up, there is a host to greet you so you can tell them how many people are in your party or if you want to go up to the bar you can. Upon entering the restaurant, it is wide-open with lots of room, a large bar, right in the middle of the restaurant, lots of TV screens, fun, music, and great vibes all around. They have an incredible take on food here and their drinks are absolutely delicious. Their bartenders are really fun, and it makes the drinks even more enjoyable. I can't stress on how delicious their chicken wings are and flautas.!!!

When you walk into Hasta, it's like walking into emerald city if emerald city was in Mexico City. There's so much beauty to look at you could spend 3 hours going over everything. It's open & inviting & the attention to detail is exactly what you'd expect from another Verant Group restaurant. Servers always seem so happy to be there. They are very attentive & helpful with the tough decision making. The food is insane, you can tell that Chef Kevin took a lot of time perfecting every recipe. You can taste the time, love, & detail in every bite. Everything I've had so far is somehow both extremely light, but super filling. The carne asada plate, so far, is my favorite item on the menu. Meat is dreamy & cooked to perfection. Tortillas are like a warm fresh hug for your palette. Honestly though, I don't think you can go wrong with anything. The desserts are some of the best in the game. Sorbet flight is the move. Guava, passion fruit, & lime. It's the perfect refreshing end to such a flavorful meal. I love anything guava & I've never had a better guava sorbet. Slowly working my way through the menu because it's way too good to only go a few times!!!!

The service was great and the food went right along with it. We enjoyed our meal and felt very welcomed by all staff.

The chips and queso appetizer is so good and super easy to share, highly recommend getting that dish! Service was also really friendly. From what others in the party were ordering, the two taco plates were quite large and so they accommodated sharing an order and helped to split the plate in the kitchen, maybe it way easier! I enjoyed my quesadilla with pork, but I do think the queso dip and the chips were the best part.

The interior is not as pretty as the photos made it look. Guac and chips were yum but the rest was meh. Great service though!

We stopped in on their opening night and really enjoyed it! Our drinks were good (happy hour choices) and even when my fiancé didn't love one of his drinks the bartender was super awesome and took the feedback. The food was yummy! The decor is super cute and a large bar is always great. We look forward to coming back and trying more

We arrived here visiting post twitch con and they were able to accommodate our seating needs quickly. It was late and not too loud. My biggest complaint here is that most if not all of their food options included cilantro. For those of us that taste soap or have allergies that's a huge bummer. They did make me a cheese quesadilla with shrimp to accommodate but if you have cheese issues I'd recommend a side or shrimp .... Even their chicken has cilantro in it. The disappointment didn't stop here, one of our party ordered a Red Bull and this was forgotten. Overall the server was nice, the cook/manager who stopped over was also nice and that's why there are stars. Although if you have food sensitivities or issues with cilantro I'd say go elsewhere. This was a disappointment for me.

Came here Halloween night with the hubs! Hard to pick when there's so many good spots near it but so happy we did. Greeted by the nicest dude ever! He suggested the Biria for the hubs who was starving and the tacos for me and I wasn't that hungry. It was a lot of food actually. The Biria was a full shank and it was delicious! I ordered the crispy chicken tacos (3) and they were very crispy flavorful and filling! For the Biria entree, when we ran out of tortillas, we cut the meat in small pieces and mixed it with our fries and consome! Damn delicious.

Wife & I stopped by there before the Padres game during happy hour. And we loved it. Food and drinks were great service as well.Melina was great

Great place to start some day drinking while sitting outside on 5th Avenue. Service was great, and they were able to customize our margaritas with my request to add Peach Schnapps. (Try it. You will LOVE it.) We did get a bowl of chips which had a good seasoning on them. Props to the bar staff who was working the night of October 17th during the big AU 2024 party on 5th Avenue when we came by again a couple nights later. The mobile bars on the street only had tequila and club soda, so we made our way to the Cantina. Due to some quick (drunk) thinking on my part, I asked and received some margarita mix to add to our (STRONG) tequilas and clubs. You guys SAVED us!

Went yesterday (Thursday.) Ordered a beer and margarita with our food. Ten minutes went by, no drinks. I asked our server and he went to check. Still nothing. FOOD CAME OUT BEFORE our drinks! Red flag/fail. I told the server forget about the drinks at this point bc we wanted to enjoy them before our food. He did end up bringing the drinks and comped us for them which was nice. But still that is something they need to work on as it took 15-20 mins to get a draft beer kind of wild. California burrito was good, I enjoyed it. Beans were almost like chili, they were good. My wife got nachos which she said were good but I personally didn't like the flavors. At the end, we got our check back but my card was not returned so I had to wait another 5+ minutes, no sign of the server. But then one of the hosts found him and it was in his pocket. Realistically I'd give it 3 stars but the comped drinks to rectify the major mishap earned a star back. May try again

Atmosphere was pretty cool. Drinks were good. What bothered me was my husband ordered mezcal and I ordered regular tequila. For any of you tequila drinkers you will understand these are two very different drinks. The waitress mixed up our drinks twice in a row. The first time I felt was a mistake but the next time was annoying. In addition we ordered the ceviche which generally was good but came in a soup like broth which was a little much.

The food is fantastic. You can't go wrong. It doesn't matter if it's Brunch or Appetizers. The food is amazing. The service has been unbeatable. The manager is very friendly, checked on us, even checked on our dog! Great Happy Hour. Beautiful atmosphere. I am in San Diego for a month I have already been here COUNTLESS times! (And I am going for lunch there right now!)

Excellent. We came in twice in a three day period, specifically because it appeared they had great TVs, and the sound on, for the San Diego Padres in the Playoffs. Manager Keith is super friendly and hospitable. The server named Junior was great! Good food and a very nice environment. Thank you!!

Took my grandkids there they loved it. The chips are amazing. The food is amazing and the girls and the guys working there are just damn nice people love them.

Service was slow The food was not good they should stick to easier plates such as chicken and rice. We got the queso dip it should've been named nacho cheese dip it's literally nacho cheese with chips. The pozole I don't recommend it's literally salsa Roja and hominy it wasn't even water down straight up salsa(no flavor). The mole plate was the worst the chicken was already pre seasoned and they just added mole . The chicken and the mole sauces did not complemented each other. If you want Mexican food just stick to Mr tempo or Miguel's ...or just head down south. This place needs improvement on the plates .. they should just stick to easier plates don't change a plate that you don't know .

The ambiance is nice, however when we went they took over 30 mins to bring our food out and there wasn't many people there. The fish tacos were ok. Queso was decent. Didn't make a great impression and I won't be returning.

Chicken tortilla soup was very disappointing and queso fundido just a bad version of canned cheese dip. Disappointing

The ambiance is great. Good lighting, fun music, great servers. Diablo shrimp tacos are great. If you like spice ask for chipotle sauce as a side. Carne asada was great as well tender beef. Guacamole is great. Fresh and bold flavors. White fish tacos were fresh tasting. Finally the beans and rice are not your typical beans and rice. Thought and skill went into the making of these sides. Best beans and rice I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Well worth a try. We were there during week for lunch.

This is not mexican food this is more like, An american went to tulum or oaxaca and said I can do this and opened up this spot. This is probably the biggest slap in the face to mexican cuisine. The most pretentious plating as well, jesus christ its not that hard to make posole.....

In town for a conference and found this gem of a place. Incredibly friendly host, waitstaff. Beautiful, festive interior with indoor and outdoor seating. The food and drinks were excellent. I enjoyed the que onda cocktail with mezcal and juice. The margaritas my friends had were top notch, not too sweet, nice and bright. A highlight was the "make your own" guacamole. We finished with churros and what a good decision! Crispy, sugary and served with an excellent sauce. Run don't walk to this place!

Food 10 Service 10 Cocktails 10 Ambiance 10 (the playlist is real!) Visited this place twice in a weekend! Nice little hidden second bar underneath.

We were greeted with a welcoming smile by hostess Damarys and gentlemen at entrance. I went with 2 girlfriends and my 2 year old son. They right away accommodated us with a lower booth and high chair for my son. What a great start! The decor is so beautiful and I was hoping the food would be just as good! As a Mexican American growing up with my mother's authentic dishes i was happy with everything we ordered and the pricing was not overpriced at all. Seemed great priced for San Diego to be honest. We ordered the mole wings and omg they tasted amazing they don't need dip in my opinion but great it comes with one just in case. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and the portion was great, we asked for salsa on the side since its not spicy. The beef flautas were my favorite. Topped well with pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. My friends and I enjoyed sharing these 3 appetizers. I am definitely coming back in the future to try more of the foods and order the falutas and mole wings again! Happy i found this after saving a reel on Instagram.

Please change the wings. The chef doesn't know how to marinate the meat, the mole sauce is awful. Never order again. We need good Mexican so badly downtown. I'm sure this chef doesn't understand Mexican and doesn't understands the target market....Please improve the food flavor profile. Let's bust out some winning items. Look up Papasito's recipes on line. Chain out of Texas. OMG. They get theee ......Checked back to see if the food was improved. No Luck. Please Impove the food flavors. Recipes are poorly designed..

Food was definitely not authentic Mexican food. Service was good but will definitely not be coming back.

I brought my family here recently for lunch while we were on Vacation in San Diego. We should have picked anywhere else. The food was decent and so was the decor, but the service was terrible. There was a girl with red hair, I think her name was Chrysta (she wouldnt give it to me so I had to ask a different employee) that we heard making racist remarks as English is not some some members of my families first language. Absolutely unacceptable. This place could be a great spot in downtown for casual Mexican food, but they seriously need to reconsider who they hire and get rid of that Chrysta girl asap. So disgusting.

Great environment...good food , apportion, and better cocktails. Definitely recommend!

Service was great, host was funny and awesome! After walking down the gas lamp looking for food we finally stumbled upon this place and it was a blessing indeed! Food was killer, and even met someone from my hometown! Would recommend coming here! The tacos were killer indeed.

Bar tenders ian an nastasia great. Management terrible. Especially peter. Dani was good too

Had such a great time here! The food was delicious--everything came out perfectly and tasted amazing. The staff were so friendly and thoughtful, which made the whole experience even better. When we asked if the volume could be lowered, our server not only adjusted it but checked in to make sure it was just right for us. It was such a considerate gesture, especially for anyone with hearing sensitivities. Really appreciated the care they showed.
