- BBryanSan Diego •40 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 17, 2024We've been here many times and the food never disappoints. It's definitely not typical Mexican; though they have tacos and enchiladas, they have pretty gourmet takes on those and other items. Our food this time was really good and well prepared. I had the salmon, which was nicely done and had nice veggies with it. Service was especially good this time. I have been here a few times in the past when the staff was a little stiff, but this time they were all very friendly and helpful. It's a great place for a special occasion.More infoEl AgavePrice: Moderate• Mexican• Old Town•4.7

- 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
