   Food was pretty good. Our server was rude, impatient and dismissive about food allergies.

   Loved the place very beautiful. As well for the food even tho it cost a lot for a small portion of the appetizer it was super good do not regret for how much I paid. :)) I would like to thank my server she was super polite.

   Good food, friendly service, reasonable prices; indoor tables were loud, and while outside was less noisy, it was also chilly (heat lamps were not numerous enough to do the job). Pretty courtyard, though, and everything (tempeh tacos and salad) were fresh and tasty.

   It was a great experience. Our first visit was amazing. Cocktails and dishes and the wonderful service of our server Milei were the ingredients of an excellent Sunday in San Diego. Very nice restaurant!

   Fajita was just a steak and shrimps, didn’t look like any fajita we had in our lifetime. Shrimp smelled like a fish and steak meet didn’t taste fresh. The place looks very nice, servers are very polite but the food needs a lot of improvement.

   Host seated us we didn’t get seen till about 45 minutes later because we had to ask when do we get our order and drinks taken or even water. Service was really bad and it’s too bad because I’ve heard really good things about El Sueno just sad we couldn’t have experienced it. Service was horrible for our table of 8! Once we did order food and drinks took another 40-45 minutes to come and check up on us in which we didn’t want to order anything and just wanted to leave.

    We cut a narrow path through the menu. She had a spicy margarita, I had the Oh Behave (a horchata/rum concoction that was most yummy). We split the queso fundido, and seriously, we could have stopped there, as we're apparently in our eat-like-a-bird era. But no, we plowed ahead, gorging on lobster tacos and enchiladas del mar--all of it was awesome and we each got down like three bites. These are not huge portions (nor are they small)--it is us, of woefully tiny stomachs. Oh well, go, go hungry. You'll be satisfied.
