I've had this placed bookmarked on my Yelp for a while. We usually always grab tacos when we come to Tj but decided we wanted to dine in somewhere different. The pictures looked promising & trust me, they didn't disappoint! I wanted to try the trio enchiladas I saw in a picture on Yelp but I guess it was only seasonal. I ended up opting in for the huevos tatemados. I thought it was just an egg w/ salsa on it. But let me telllllllll you.... It was fire! It came w/ red chilaquiles that were flavorful & good. I'm not a huge frijole stan. But these frijoles were not normal basic ones, they had flavor. The salsa on my eggs weren't spicy. I asked for the spiciest salsa on the side. I asked & they gave. It was spicy af. The spicy in MX doesn't compare to US spicy. Lol. What caught me by surprise was under my eggs there was jamón, queso, & nopal. Everything together went well & was delish! My son had a kids egg & salchichas plate that came w/ frijoles & papas. The papas were good. Crispy & soft at the same time. My husband ordered the machaca estilo señora. I didn't like his as much as I liked mine. The chilaquiles verde were ok. The machaca was dry on his. Not a fan of his dish. Our dishes came w/ complimentary tortillas. We also ordered two aguas - the melón & crema d coco. I wasn't a fan of the melon. I thought it'd be better than it was. It was very natural & didn't have any sweetness to it. The crema d coco on the other hand was bomb. Exactly how it sounds, creamy & coconut. The service was friendly, quick, professional, & efficient. When we sat down they laid our napkins out on our laps for us. Even for my toddler child. Lol. They poured our drinks & packed our stuff to go for us.
This place is a little more on the pricier side compared to other eateries. Our bill was $54 for 2 dishes, 1 kids dish, 2 aguas, & 2 sodas. Average price you'd pay in San Diego for something similar. We would definitely return though. I wanted to try the guayaba cheesecake but I was too full to even order it. The portions are huge & very filling. The ambiance was nice. Quiet, clean, classy, & decorative. Nice for date night or a family get together.
They have their own private valet parking. There's about 13 spots in their lot. We ended up parking next door at a parking lot because all the spots were filled.
