Reviews for Tahona Bar in San Diego, CA
A higher-end experience than some of the other Mexican restaurants in Old Town, so don’t expect the long menus and prices you... see at other spots. The menu, while small, is curated very well and allows the chefs to focus on the quality and taste of eachdish. However, this may not be what everyone is looking for, especially in Old Town. Just be aware! The food was delicious andcame out at a good pace. We had the guacamole - large portion, the corn croquetas - small portion, and some tacos. Thequesobirria tacos are a MUST. Finally, drinks were tasty and VERY reasonable. Likely because they do have a hidden bar thatspecializes in inventive cocktails at a higher price point! Read more
Great Oaxacan style food and exceptional cocktails. I recommend the quesabirria tacos, croquetas, and ahi tuna tostada. Pass... on the pollo pastor taco. The churro s'mores is fun, but not a must. I'm updating my review to 4 stars since they cancelledhappy hour until after summer. Sad face! Read more
Very busy restaurant so the tables are very close together. The food however more than makes up for it. The squash blossom taco... is a must as is the pulpo pipian. Read more
Como se dice ‘dank sauce’? Delicious tacos, aps, and drinks! I had the watermelon cocktail and it was perfectly smooth,... refreshing, and dangerously delectable. Then had shishito peppers and the queso birria tacos y pollo pastor tacos. The pepperswere great and had a nice corn flake to them. The tacos were fresh, filling, and so good. Definitely coming back to try moreitems and check out the whiskey speakeasy. Read more
The hostess didn't seem like much of a "people person" but everything else was great. The food was surprisingly filling for 3... tacos. We did have sopecitos as an appetizer and tried 4 different cocktails, all of which were great. I've been to the Tahonain Mexico so I mixed expectations for this, but overall I was impressed.

Dined here Saturday with a couple of friends. Got the vegetarian guacamole, a couple of taco flights, and a few drinks. The... margarita was solid, the Paloma a bit light. Guacamole was good, and the two vegetarian tacos were okay. The squash blossomoption was the better of the two. Service was friendly, but they sat our group of three at a very small two person table whenthere was another larger two person table option available. Also, they substituted a Mezcal order without letting us know,providing us with a cheaper brand and larger pour. Would have been nice to have been asked before the substitution happened. Read more
Went here for some tapas and drinks with friends during lunch. The place had several tables outside and the weather was great.... We were received by a really nice individual who took us to the bar to order our drinks. The selection was broad and variable.The bartender helped us with our selection based on our taste. She even recommended tequilas that we could buy later on. Have tosay the drinks were spot on. Amazing and refreshing which is what we wanted as it was a hot day. We order some food (don’tremember the name of the plate now), which was tasty, well prepared, fulfilling and it went really well with the drinks. I woulddefinitely go back to this place. Highly recommended! Read more
Delicious Mexican cuisine prepared with originality and finesse. The guacamole was light and delicate with nice citrus accents.... The trio of moles was a fun dish, with three very different preparations of mole served on a chewy masa cake stuffed withpotato. This dish is great for sharing. The tacos were flavorful with herbs and spices that complemented the meat in the taco.Good margaritas and friendly, outgoing service. Read more
