Great location in the heart of the gas lamp district, the restaurant has a great feel inside. I came strictly to sample the... ceviche, and have no complaints. The ceviche sampler comes with three types of ceviche and is only $25. It's a huge portion thateven two of us could not finish. The margaritas were strong and impressive. When I arrived, the restaurant was empty due to itbeing opening time. A great location to have drinks and eat. Night would be better for groups. Plenty of private seating. I evennoticed a bookshelf wall that could be pushed in that led to a private dining area above. Creative. Latin music definitely setsthe scene and music videos play on large screens above the bar next to the giant Frida portrait. Murals and Latin art incase thedining area. The service was wonderful and attentive. The only complaint I have is the chips and tostada shells. They seem to ofbeen cooked in dirty oil or over-done because they were extremely heavy and dark. Considering this is a staple along side theceviche, I would suggest to management to pick a less dense tortilla and cleaner oil to fry. I'm sure many like me look on thereviews on yelp and come strictly for the Ceviche. A thinner tortilla would be less filling and result in more food beingordered. Read more

I had a late lunch with some friends during a work trip to San Diego. The ceviche trio is huge and was delicious. I couldn’t... finish even half of it. The space itself is gorgeous and very well decorated. Service was great, and prices were fair. It was agreat experience. Read more

The tampiquena was surprisingly bland. I spiced it up with the tasty, garlicky house salsa that came with the chips. By... contrast, the enchilada sauce was amazing - thick and earthy with a hint of cinnamon. Guacamole was also bland, but themargarita was good and strong. Service was pleasant, and the decor was nice. Prices were high for lunch. Read more

Delicious but loud. Great atmosphere for 20 somethings. Had to yell across table for people to hear each other. Flavors... were good. Tacos and fajitas delicious (mildly overpriced but not bad for 5th Avenue in gaslamp). Flan way too dense andgritty. Will return. Read more
