Micheladas are on point and the food was super delicious although I think they shouldn't put those stands on top of each table the place is really good

Great Service from Chema! Chema was an amazing server! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave great recommendations and checked in on us just the right amount. Our dining experience was fantastic, thanks to his excellent service. Highly recommend asking for Chema if you visit! Our first time here in Downtown San Diego. First time here in this restaurant and we will come back for sure!

Our server was very friendly and the music is great! The aguachiles verde is really good too.

10/10 experience food and drinks were great and our server Viri made it 100x better she gave us great recommendations and was constantly checking in with us and very friendly and patient ! The vibes were great !

Korean tacos for the win! Yummy variety of cocktails, full bar, options for buckets of beers. Can't beat the party ambiance. There was live music the day I was here. So fun! Service was good.

Cool spot for dinner and drinks, especially with a group! Located at the Gaslamp District so awesome place to start a good night out. Everything was good but it was very loud and hard to hear anything that anyone was saying. Other than that, it was lit!

This place is a vibe music good drinks food and the service is great I love the grilled octopus the surf n turf burrito and the dirty fries are my favorites but the pork belly tacos are so good also..

When my husband and I arrived, the restaurant wasn't very busy, yet we waited about 10 minutes without a server in sight. Frustrated, I found Paulina and asked her who our server was. Even though she wasn't assigned to our table, Paulina went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She immediately took our drink and food order and continued to provide exceptional service throughout our entire visit. Paulina's attentiveness and positive attitude completely turned our experience around. We truly appreciated her initiative and professionalism. If you're dining here, I hope you're lucky enough to have Paulina take care of you! She's a true gem.

Great atmosphere but questionable practices. First off both visits dinner time they only served bottle water and nothing on tap. Also had friends with extra chargers. 4 stars because the service is quick and the food is on point. Two visit for me but my wife over five during lunch with our kids where they had water on tap. Just weary about places like this. If it weren't for that it be 5 stars. I love the love band!
