It's still my favorite Mexican restaurant on this side of the border. We started with big baskets of perfect tortilla chips with their special white jalapeño sauce and salsa, with a side of guacamole. each of us had something different for our meals, shrimp quesadilla, shrimp burrito, stuffed calamari steak, and the burrito trio. Each was delicious. I had my favorite at this place the shrimp burrito. Their burrito is my favorite! Cesare was excellent and offered us dessert but we were stuffed.

What a wonderful restaurant! The wait staff were attentive, informative, and genuine! Thank you Breeana and Maximus. The food was absolutely delicious. My hubby and I both had the tacos of the month. Very generous portions. The chips, salsa, and queso were fresh and very tasty. We ordered some hotter salsa. Phew! So good! My only complaint was the margaritas were mostly ice. But overall everything was fantastic!

I went with my family of 5. Food was great. I got the albodingas soup and it was excellent. My husband got the ceviche and tacos and it was excellent and not too salty. My daughter got fish tacos and the fish was fresh. All in all it was great food but the best part was the service. Our food came out in 5 minutes time and it alllowed us more time to explore the area. The free chips and salsa are really the best of any Mexican restaurant I have been to. They have this cheese dip that is truly amazing.

Miguel's is a San Diego classic. Their chips and queso are on point. The carnitas plate, burrito trio, and fajitas were quite tasty. The ultimate margarita was perfectly balanced. Service was a little bit lackluster. There was a large gap between being seated and being able to order. Their outdoor patio is nice and felt warm due to being covered/having heaters. I'll likely be back to Miguel's in the future-whether it's this location or another.

Stopped by after skating at the del. It was pretty busy but we got a seat inside where the tables were very close together. They had a pretty long menu and many taco options, where you could mix and match. I went with the shredded chicken enchiladas, and my family got the surf and surf tacos, chorizo tacos, and a couple others. The server started us off with chips and salsa and queso and waters right away, which was faster than expected given how busy it was! After that, service was a big disorganized and took a little while to get the check, but I attributed it to the busyness of the night. Almost all the food was delicious! Only docking a star for thr chorizo tacos which a few of us tasted and all agreed were too salty and overpowered the flavor. Overall, a good dinner choice!

Stopped here a couple of times when visiting Coronado. The restaurant is located across the street from Hotel Coronado. It is hidden behind a hotel and away from the street. You will find other stores and eateries near them. The staff here is quick to seat you and bring out your food. We came here on a Saturday for a late breakfast/lunch. The restaurant didn't start to get busy till we were leaving. The patio is really cute. There are many papel picados hanging from the patio and lots of plants throughout the restaurant with a big tree in the middle. It is definitely a photo op when here. The food has also never disappointed us. This time, I ordered the tamale dinner plate with rice and beans. It was really yummy. They put a red sauce on top of the tamales, I think the same one that is on the enchiladas. My son had the nachos appetizer and, to me, it could easily be an entree. They serve so much and you can add your favorite protein-chicken or shredded beef. Overall, if you are looking for a place to eat after a day of exploring, try out this place. You will not be disappointed and your tummy will thank you later. Enjoy!!!
