- DDr . SamVIPSan Diego •30 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBeen before and loved it, so we took our brother for his birthday. We ordered multiple appetizers and entrees, sharing all the dishes. Outstanding service (thank you Paolo) and off the charts delicious. The flavors of some the dishes were so brilliant that it's memorable. Try the cheesecake dessert. They make it fresh. Love, love, love.More infoCrudo Ceviche & Oyster BarPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Little Italy•4.6

- CCatherineVIPLondon •12 reviews4.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024Service at the bar was terrific! The bartender, Ruben, I think was his name, was friendly and made a great mocktail and terrific drinks. We each ordered three different tacos, which were excellent, but they took a little while to arrive… perhaps that’s because we had appetizers at the bar beforehand so I guess we expected the food to arrive a little quickly. Overall, a great experience with Mexican food.More infoPuesto at the HeadquartersPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Downtown•4.6

Excellent lime margaritas, too.More infoFisher'sPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Little Italy•4.2
- JJohn PaulSan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined on 16 Nov 2024Found this restaurant on OpenTable and was not disappointed. The ambiance is incredible and the food matches it perfectly. However, I think the service, at least our server in particular, was extremely helpful and that really made the whole experience that much better for us.More infoCamino RivieraPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Little Italy•4.8
