By far the best Mexican cuisine! I could honestly say that the beef and bean tostada could be my last meal, and I’d skip towards my inevitable doom with joy in each step. In all seriousness, the staff is amazing. Your refills come so quickly you’d think your drinks magically appear. The food? I can’t think of any word besides exquisite. You can hear the kitchen’s hustle and bustle, the sound of your food being made and quickly served with flawless efficiency. If you don’t trust my review, that’s totally fine. Try it yourself, and you’ll see exactly how honest I’m being. Perfect food, perfect atmosphere, and perfect staff makes a deadly combo. By far the BEST food place in Santee. Honestly, maybe even all of San Diego. Also don’t go to the Alpine one. This place makes that one look like a joke.

This place is a very comfortable and nice place. The staff is very welcoming. Adrian was super good with us, fun with the kids, and nice with the parents 😄. The guy plying the guitar is very skillful, asking him what you'd like and he knows to play. The food is amazingly good. The trio fajitas is my favorite dish, cooked well and not greasy, just perfect. The kids' burgers and eggs were also good, and the carne asada plate was very good. The plates will fulfill you, the drinks will delight you, and the staff will entertain you.

This place has an authentic feel with a guy playing the guitar and singing at the tables and chips, salsa and refried beans served as an appetizer. Our server was great - helping with items to select and having fun with my grandma while she ordered. My wife and I shared the chicken fajitas and it was plenty of food for both of us. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

We always sit in the bar area to watch games. We were practically completely ignored by the staff. We barely got any service. It was like they were forced to wait on us. We got our drink order. But then ignored for menu's for quite awhile. Then it took forever for a waiter to take our order's. It was apparent that the regular customers come first in this restaurant. We won't be back or we will sit in the dining room area. Hopefully the service is better there. The food was exact, but lousy customer service.

Excellent quality Mexican food, but a bit pricey. Got the Brunch special Steak and Eggs with a blended Lime Margarita, and the Beef Flautas. Everything was very tasty. The medium rare steak was very tender with minimal fat and no gristle. The service was excellent, fast and very friendly. Plus, there was live Mexican music! Update: Got the Pollo Mariettas fried half chicken and bowl of the Menudo soup. The fried chicken was freshly made, crispy and juicy. The Menudo was excellent and not mainly broth like at other restaurants. Update: Got the Menudo, Chicken Mole, and Chili Colorado. Everything was excellent.

Excellent food, great service, we had a blast. Very kid friendly place, the staff interacting with the kids, making them laugh; good times. Parking might be a little bit of a challenge on busy days though so plan accordingly.

The food wasn't great. The service was great. The prices are a bit on the expensive for what it was. The rice, beans and enchiladas are made with lard or so I was told by the waiter.

I had the breakfast burrito and that night I had the cold sweats and in the morning I was vomiting. It was definitely this food and the manager needs to look into this. This was August 20th, and I was eating dinner with my wife. I unfortunately cannot recommend this place because of this.

I was hungry for some good tacos instead what I got were two hardshell purated chicken and purated asada tacos. Favorable yes. BUT absolutely disgusting tacos. The price on the menu was $7.00 per taco. And when I got the bill it was $7.50 per taco. I was not pleased with the quality of the food ! So probably will not return here.The restaurant was pretty much empty of customers. That should have been my clue. Fool me once shame on me!! But there will not be a second time.

So bad I don't know where to even start. Was told 20 minutes to be seated. It took over 1 hour and 20 minutes. Food was terrible starting w the salsa which was like spicy ketchup. Guac was horrible and watery. Entrees were some of the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. Not sure how this place even stays open with so many other better places to eat. To top it all off the older gentleman waiter who served my party of 5 pretty much completely ignored us the entire time, leaving drinks and chip baskets empty the entire time. One of the worst dining experiences I ever had.
