- SSimonnaNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe chose to sit outdoors for an early dinner, and the ambiance was lovely. The service was quick and very pleasant. I had the pleasure of trying their passion fruit shrimp ceviche, and it was absolutely delicious! I’m inspired to recreate the recipe at home. I also enjoyed their tacos, which were fantastic. The purple tortillas added a special touch that made me think they might be made in-house. Would definitely recommend to our friends.More infoPuesto La JollaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• La Jolla•4.6
- AArleneSan Diego •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything about South of Nick’s is amazing. The waitstaff was beyond friendly. They gave great information and suggestions. Because of that, I had an amazing margarita (The Tamarindo!) and delicious meal. My husband and I are already talking about our next visit!More infoSouth of Nick's - Del MarPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Del Mar•4.7
- KKatieVIPSan Diego •15 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe ambience and service are the shining stars here. Food is very good but not sure worth the price. But hard to say anything bad because it was a very enjoyable night. Personally I’d save it for a more special evening than just an average night out. Even though it’s a very busy, loud and energetic place, our round booth table for six in the middle of the restaurant still felt very private.More infoJavier's - La JollaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• La Jolla•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
