Opinions de Osteria del Valico San Fedele Intelvi
We lived in San Diego back in the late 70s and this was our favorite restaurant. It's SO AMAZING that we could come back 50 years later and it's not only still here and still wonderful, but we could even enjoy the same favorite dish (Cheese Crisp Special)!
Great food, atmosphere and friendly servers; best Mexican food in San Diego, my family is split between here and Tio Leo;s but this has been my favorite since I was a teenager and I am now about to turn 70 in over a week; best item on the menu is the Pollo Fundido, have gotten that for my whole lifetime eating there...had other items that were very good but that is my go to item most every time I am there or take out! Very tasty!!!! My only disappointment is that they send you a happy birthday notice but don't provide you anything extra for your birthday, I am gonna be 70 in a week and all I got was a happy birthday come and join us for food! A lot of places will give you a little something special on your birthday and that would be very very nice
Great company. Great food. The atmosphere was chilled. The original location was in Old Town in San Diego. CA. Same owner. Very friendly. Sorry no pictures so remember to take some when you go😊
We love to come to casa de pico once a while for true authentic Mexican food. Their food is very tasty and prices are fair compared to others. The only thing I dislike is that their ceviche does not come in a plate but rather in a cup like a shrimp cocktail. The ceviche is bland and we have to add sauces to fix it. But other than that, all their food is great like the fajita and enchiladas.
I like their steak fajitas they are so tender you can cut them in half with a fork lots of onions and they don't overdo it with the bell peppers they do put in mushrooms which I'm a big fan. I like the chile rellenos do you have a seafood enchilada with a awesome white sauce always get the yellow rice instead of the Mexican rice. They have two salmon meals salmon is always moist never dry. What is a salmon salad very tasty sauce ask for extra the other ones in a healthy section with another awesome sauce ask for extra.
Arrived after 430 on Saturday. The place was packed, but we (party of 2) were seated immediately upon arrival. Hostess & Waiter's were great! Everyone was friendly, attentive, great attitudes despite the high volume of patrons. Music & Ambiance was pleasant & enjoyable. Our food was served rather quickly. First, our drink order was taken. Chips & salsa we're brought to our table while we waited for a short while. Our Appetizer came first, a tasty sampler. Then, our food order was taken as soon as the appetizer arrived. Our entree's were brought to our table a short while later. Our meal was enjoyable. Our drinks delectable. Great service! Loved the decor, especially the Mariachi Music!!
Beautiful day on the patio for lunch. Service was the best we've ever had at a Mexican restaurant with Tania as our server and Danny as the busser. Huge and delicious margaritas! Carnitas plate and the fajitas were the favorites. Guacamole dip starter and queso fundito with chorizo was also a hit! Great experience
This place has such a beautiful, authentic atmosphere. The food is delicious and always fresh. They have handmade tortillas and their salsas are very flavorful. The waiters and staff are friendly and make the experience that much more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has such a beautiful design and decor inside and out. Highly recommend dining here.
Delicious and wonderful setting that shows the Mexican culture. This place has a full bar and also indoor/outdoor seating. They have mariachis that play music and you can specially request them. We got the been chimichanga and some other items. They greet you at the table with chips and salsa. You can request spicy. This place is colorful and beautiful with lively servers. A must place to visit!
Everything was super! 4 of us came about 4 pm on a Saturday and were able to walk in and get seated immediately. The drinks were all very tasty, and the food was decently sized portions also great taste. The chips and salsa before service were hot and delicious. It's super colorful inside and out. And the staff is very attentive. It does get super busy around 5-6 when we were leaving. There was a line out the door. Plus, the parking isn't the greatest it's a tight squeeze for larger vehicles.
Love the food and ambiance! Live music tableside is so entertaining. We didn’t wait long for a table for 3 at 5pm on a Friday night but we definitely beat the crowd. Food was very fast! I ordered combo #1 (beef taco, bean burrito & cheese enchilada) and it was nice to get a taste of everything. It was so much food! My son ordered the kids bean and cheese burrito and said it was the best burrito of his life. The chips and salsa served ahead of the meal are very crisp and tasty. You can tell the salsa is handmade, just like the tortillas. We can’t wait to return.
This place is wonderful for having a good meal the food is delicious. Had a combination plate with beans and rice both beans and rice were delicious and the food was flavorful. The tequila lime shrimp is excellent it is full of flavor and you can really taste it’s delicious butteriness that the lemon and tequila brings out. The homemade chips and salsa are wonderful highly recommend. The margaritas at the bar are fabulous as well. Great place to come for a very lively atmosphere and the outdoor fountain area is beautiful.
My husband and I was at Casa de Pico in the afternoon. The atmosphere was great. Ordered pollo fundido and carnitas plate. I don't know if the recipe was change but for many years my husband always get the pollo fundido deep fry and with melted cheese. (Chimichange style). Yesterday was just a burrito with a different cheese on the top. Carnitas plate was a little too crispy like if was set on the heat lamp too long. For the the fist time we were disappointed. Hope the restaurant keep the original recipe because it was delicious. Service was good.
Great location in Grossmont center. We usually order the Veggie Fajitas without cheese to make it vegan. Very yummy! Drinks are adorable and taste good.
I just leaned that this location is related to Casa Guadalajara in Old Town SD. Same menus. Same food and drinks. Good stuff overall. The servers are super friendly even when it's a little bit crazy busy. Lots of seating, indoors, at the bar, or on the patio getting some fresh air and some sun. Go grab a margarita or two.
We've been here a lot of times and today was not a good day them. The food was tasty and fresh, but we did have to wait almost 15 minutes, after we were sat, to be asked if we wanted drinks and got our chips and salsa. It was not a good start and it was the bus boy who noticed us and brought us chips and salsa and told the waiter about us. After that horrendous start, it was as usual - good job.
Dined Saturday evening 9/27. Enjoyable family atmosphere. Mariachi band provided lively, enjoyable music. Wait staff member Jorge provided excellent service. Thank you Jorge. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas Suizas. Delish! This dish is definitely a must try. My beverage selection wasn't as good. It was a complete non-event. The beverage requested was a Patron top shelf margarita. What was served was an absolute non-event experience. I recommend you keep your money and take a pass on this beverage. However, if sugary margarita mix over ice is your thing then enjoy.
Didn't have a wait to be dined inside, I did opt for a table by the bar. Service was very good. Renaldo was attentive and extremely helpful. The chips were nice and warm with the perfect amount of salt. The salsa was a big miss for me. Definitely could use a lot more spice to it, or any for that matter. Ordered the Child Verde with flour tortillas. The pork in the Chile Verde was not as tender as I'd like but the chili verde sauce has some good flavor to it. The rice and beans are what you would expect, nothing note worthy. The homemade tortillas, not pictured, were the star here. Biggest downside to this place is definitely the prices of the entrees. They are about 20% more than other Mexican restaurants. If I do return, it would definitely be for the tortillas.
It’s a big restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They had a band playing music at table side when I visited. It’s in a plaza so there’s plenty of parking. We came as a big group. The staff were nice to put multiple tables together in the bar area for us. The service was slow as we waited for a while to put in our orders. I ordered a sampler platter. It came with taquitos with three different meats, quesadillas and chicken wings (which is odd to have wings there. They looked like buffalo wings but didn’t taste like it). Margaritas are good. There are many flavors to choose from. Overall, the visit was average.
Not spectacular. Service was good. The food was delivered fast but my husband's taco was cold as were the beans. Chili Verde was delicious. Spanish rice was blahGood margaritas. Salsa wasn't spicy enough.
Beautiful restaurant! The live mariachi band was so fun. The server was nice and checked on us often. Unfortunately, the food was very bland. I ordered the carne asada tacos, the sliced steak was plain, and unseasoned. The corn tortillas for the tacos were undercooked; the only saving grace were the beans and rice. The chips were nothing to be impressed about and the salsa lacked flavor beyond cilantro. I’m not sure why this place gets such good reviews beyond the atmosphere. Especially for the price this place is not worth it, there are far better places to eat Mexican food in San Diego!
