Restaurants near Rancho San Diego Village Shopping Center

I celebrated my birthday last night with local familiy (8 of us), and had a bunch of dishes, opening with orders of Flautas de Atun Ahumado (rolled tacos with smoked tuna) and Pulpo Sarandeado (charred octopus in adobo sauce) as appetizers. Both dishes were very well prepared, and were delicious. The serving of octopus was a good-sized bit of tentacle, enough to share among three or four of us, and expertly cooked. For our main dishes, one of our party had the Chile Relleno, one had the Arrachera con Tuetano (tacos with skirt steak, grilled nopales, and guacamole, with bone marrow on the side). Most of us split the Enchiladas de Mariscos (seafood enchiladas, and the Costillas de Res al Carbon (slow-grilled beef short ribs: a huge portion with the meat falling off the bone, it was so tender),. We found the service very attentive without being unctuous. The food was marvelous, the portions generous. I'd have a hard time finding any shortcoming, to be honest. We were a large party of 8 diners, and so the bill came with a 20% tip already attached, and a 3% optional add-on to accommodate credit cards. Color me better than entirely satisfied, that's how I'd put it. Would I come back? Absolutely.

I chose this location for a business lunch. Perfect choice.

All was excellent for our party of three. Steak, scallops and fish. Cooked perfectly. Server was very attentive.

Sat upstairs which is sweet, had the private 4 top with the heart chandelier. Great view, buzzing neighborhood scene with packed farmers market on Friday evening! Margaritas were great and the food was delicious. Second time there and the portions have been very generous. Attentive, friendly staff, and classy ambiance.

Love everything about this place!! Great service, food & ambiance.
