- FFoodieintrainingVIPSan Diego •13 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 15, 2023We increased our party size from 4 to 6 people. The staff accommodated our request. The selection of food and beverages was fantastic but the taste was even better. The servers were engaging and polite and professional. Everything was served in a timely manner. Even after we left, it was down pouring and two of the employees opened the door and beckoned for us to come inside and wait out of the rain. We 6 were very pleased and highly recommend this fine establishment.More infoPiedra SantaPrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Tijuana•4.4
