This place is beautifully decorated! Love the Mexican decor very authentic!! The food is decent, but what keeps us coming back... is the warm welcoming vibe from some of the staff, we had a young waiter i wish I could remember his name, he was really good atchecking on us and bringing us everything we needed.

This was a great discovery for my wife and I as we were driving around looking for a good place to find Mexican food. The Chile... Verde plate was delicious and the taquitos, addicting!! The service was friendly and welcoming and the outdoor dining wasenjoyable Read more
Excellent service, Tara was my waitress. Outdoor seating is available and there is a separate bar area. Steak and chicken... fajitas are really good. They serve chips and salsa for the table. I will definitely return when I am in the San Diego area. Iused a Groupon so it was a really good deal. Read more
Mexican food like it should be. Have you ever walked into a place where the employees greet you but you just know they're not... being sincere? This is not the place. You know they're happy to see you. They want to serve you the best food their kitchen canput out, and they deliver. I was in San Diego for a conference and someone recommended Jimmy Carter's for breakfast. I made themile trip (walking) and it was well worth it. The chorizo scramble was just the right serving size, along with rice and yourchoice of black or pinto beans. Corn tortillas sealed the deal. It was delicious, nutritious, and it did not ruin my budget forthe day. The waiters were friendly, attentive, and offered good suggestions. I highly recommend this place if you want to havesome authentic Mexican food. Read more
