Opiniones de Urbana Mexicana Gastronomy San Diego
Our group of four were seated quickly and found a great drink menu and plenty of dinner choices. Two of us tried cocktail recommendations that proved bang on. Very attentive staff as well as who we suspected may have been the owner. Mole is deep, dark and has a kick. Cauliflower tacos are an absolute must try - all other tacos were delicious and well balanced. Even the rice and beans were good. Plenty of thing we didn't get to try, but will be back do so soon.
It was a nice restaurant in an affluent area. We got there after lunch and before dinner rush and we were told we have to wait to be seated-no problem, but the entire dining room was empty and there were only people at 2 small tables on the balcony- we ended sitting in the same area. Good thing there was a break in the rain. It took almost 30min to get our food and drinks ordered, then we lost track of time once our apps and drinks were served. I'll say they had their own flair to their food and presentations, but not much authentic tradition in the foods. It was potions were decent but prices too high matched the area nd ambience, but not the food itself.
Service was on point. Ordered a few different items and they were good overall. The filet tacos were definitely the best and the pork belly was decent. The chicken was dry for the mole tacos. Nachos and elote hit the spot.
I’ve been to this place a few times and it’s consistently delicious! A more upscale Mexican spot and the prices reflect that but the food has quality ingredients and the service is good!
Had a wonderful dinner at Urbana. Very friendly service. Margaritas were well made. Micheladas were superb. Veggie tacos were well presented and their spicy salsa really has a kick to it!
Good restaurant. They do an upscale take on street tacos. My favorite was the al pastor-- highly recommend that one. The tortillas are handmade and very delicious. We had some agua frescas, which were refreshing (I had the tamarindo tamayo). Good dessert as well-- bread pudding with ice cream. Check it out.
I'm very happy with my overall experience at Urbana. Our server was very attentive and regularly checking in on us. There did not seem to be any delay with service. Food was very tasty, and my friend enjoyed her drinks. The food we tried were the carnitas tacos, fish tacos, and quesadilla. All of these things were very delicious. Hoping to make it back here to try more!
I've been here 2 times in the last month and I have been impressed both times. Tasty, high-quality food and a cool vibe! Their tacos have so much flavor, down to their homemade corn tortillas. Their spicy margaritas have their own distinctive taste and look. Both times the service was excellent. I would highly recommend checking this place out!
Super delicious food and kind QUICK service! Delicious nonalcoholic (house made syrups) and alcoholic drinks!
A great little spot with great food. I had the oysters & a few different tacos (pork belly. Baja fish, and carnitas) the food was excellent & the tequila selection was extensive. Michael was a phenomenal bar tender who made great suggestions & took the time to write a list of other local spots for this out-of-towner to check out. 5/5 - highly recommend!
I work at Jimbos and this is a perfect spot to order Togo or sit in amazing birri tacos. My favorite so far just fresh and yummy 😋
Small but cozy. Tacos were great. Drinks were excellent. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Within the Sky Deck. Great place.
It has great atmosphere with outdoor space. I happened to be there on a Tuesday and they have $5 Tacos on Tuesday. I had carnitas and fish tacos. The carnitas one is really good.

Loved the atmosphere. The food was good. I got the arrachera taco, pork belly taco, elote and I was craving a michelada (margarita and beer)… when I saw that they had a Michelada I immediately order that. What I wasn’t told by the under 21-year-old server, is that it’s not your typical Michelada. I do not blame her, but I would think in the future it would be great to make sure your customers know there’s a difference. This one is served with side of seasonings. I believe there is Worchester sauce, something spicy in it. So you’re supposed to add this into your beer. I was not a fan I took a few sips, but I left it. I really enjoyed the pork belly taco and the Elote the steak taco was OK. I do believe that the prices are a little higher than they should be for what you get. I’m sure because of the location and area that it’s located in that is part of the reason the prices are that way. I really wanted to try it, so I’m glad I did. I may be back in the future and maybe will try different tacos but I will know not to get any alcoholic beverage unless it’s a regular margarita
All cocktails were good, food had great presentation but some items missed the mark like Socal famous fish tacos were chewy. Service was good but slow.
I’ll start with my one con as it’s a quick one: we waited awhile at the host stand for the host to appear and seat us at our table, and once at the table, we waited about 15 minutes before a waiter came up to say hello and take our order. Perhaps they were understaffed last night? ANYWAY, the service once we put our order in was quick, and the food was sooo good! We got the spicy margaritas, the burrito, and some tacos and it was all very tasty. The atmosphere there is also a great date night vibe. Overall it was a good experience and we would come back, even just for drinks at the bar!

The tacos were really good. I asked the jalapeño salsa on the side because for me it would be too spicy. The service was on point. The waiter was nice, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The music was great, and they have outdoor seating. It was a great experience.
15$ Ceasar salad, dressing on the side. Wasn't bad. I just expected more than a 3$ box of Romain lettuce, and a few slices of tomato.

While the flavors were okay, the portions of meat for the pricing is ridiculous. $25 for carne asada fries with barely any meat and no guac... $18 shrimp ceviche was tiny and had only a few pieces of shrimp. Total was $56 with the service charge, which is wild. Not impressed. Will not be back when nearby you can get much better quality and portions.

$25 for a skimpy portion of carne asada fries where the carne asada were tiny overcooked chewy pieces. And there was a $3 service fee for whatever reason. Do not recommend and will definitely not be coming back
Genuinely the WORST burrito I've ever had in my life. I did not realize it was even possible to screw up a burrito to the extent that they did. It is clear that it is trying to be "fancy" or trying to reinvent the wheel to a certain extent, however when multiple bits of meat in the $20 (I am embarrassed that I spent this much on this) are not even edible due to being either hard or just plain fat, it is clear that focusing on the basics is what is needed before expanding into new territory. Also I was the only one sitting at the bar outside of one other person at the other end, so you would think that they would be checking in on a consistent basis, or have a good conversation with the bartender. However, the bartenders/waiters seemed more interested in talking to their buddies/coworkers and doing other stuff that was not related to serving the customer while I was there and took no interest in making sure my visit was good. If you want food that is photo worthy, this is the place for you, but if you want a burrito that actually tastes good RUN to somewhere else.
