- DDr . SamVIPSan Diego •30 reviews5.0Dined 1 day 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•4.5
- CChristenVIPSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCadillac Margarita is a classic yum fest. We enjoyed guacamole, tacos and suiza enchiladas. The foods are a la cart. Our server Danica was patient with the elders in my family and friendly. She made sure we received all of our food and drinks. She is a sharp server. I hope to dine with her again.More infoPuesto Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Mission Valley•4.6
- SSusanVIPAtlanta Metro •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoSo happy to be back & satisfy my craving for their mole! I love the trio so I get to taste all three side-by-side. As always service was amazing! Beto (Alberto) even tried to fix the wobbly table.More infoEl AgavePrice: Moderate• Mexican• Old Town•4.7
- CCatherineVIPLondon •12 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoService 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
- JJohn PaulSan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 16, 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
