This is my first time inside the restaurant, I had a reservation for 18 ppl and they were short staffed. I made a reservation 2 weeks ago. I've been here for over half an hour and still don't have a drink. That is the first thing, the second thing is that it is so dark in here that you can't even see the menu. Last but not least it is very hot in there and there is no AC or windows open. I might be here waiting for a few hours before I get my food. You are better off going somewhere else until they upgrade this old place and they get better service. This place is super slow. Everyone is getting frustrated and mad from waiting so long. I feel like leaving this place. Some of my guest left, almost everyone ate except for me I was too mad to eat anything anymore.
We live up the street from this place and love coming here for breakfast! The service is fast and friendly, the place has recently been remodeled, the portions are generous and of course the food is delicious! I have never ordered anything I didn't enjoy, but their house speciality is the menudo. I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo before I started digging in.
Not only is every member of the staff friendly and super hospitable the food is absolutely amazing. Anytime I visit San Diego I will make it my personal mission to come and eat here
The food and service is great.Enchiladas Del Mar are delicious as well as some hefty Chile Rellenos. Every time I eat there it never let's me down. The flan is INCREDIBLE creamy smooth and flavorful.
Margaritas/Drinks were delicious!! I had the jalapeño, strawberry and the mango. Also ordered the Paloma.We ordered the carne fries, one of the burritos and a 2 item combo (enchilada and taco) and i really enjoyed everything! Beans were delicious. I only wish i would have asked for salt for the rice but flavor was good. Will for sure be back as this place is adorable!!Service was fast and our waiter was so attentive.
I didn't even know it was still open. I loved going there years ago to eat and hang out watch the games. Food is great. Not over done with fluff. Its Straight Mexican food. It's great to go back to my old neighborhood and see this restaurant still there. Definitely going back.
I'm happy, everything I ate was awesome, so flavorful, and the service is great, they're friendly, and helpful.This place is a must try!
We were just looking for a place near where were camping in Jamul and found this little hole on wall . I was a little worried but Wow! Dont judge them on decor or neighborhood. This place is great. I had carnitas and they are awesome. My hubby had carne asada dinner. It came in a slightly spicy gravey. Also awesome. All the meat is very teer. Tortillas = home made corn and flour.Will definitely return. The margaritas are great too as md not to expensive.
Best Mexican food in the South Bay. Maybe even the city. Me and the Misses have been coming here for quite some time now. They always give us outstanding service. The food is excellent. We love the family style Mexican cooking. With a Mexican food favorite filled extensive menu, and great service. We always leave feeling satisfied. They’re what’s turned into our weekly restaurant spot. I know I always appreciate hearing Casa Don Diego’s being said while running errands. Because I know the experience I’m going to have there, is always going to be top notch. They serve some of the best hot sauce in the city. With fresh made chips, hot from a clean fryer brought to the table, as soon as you sit down. You can’t go wrong having this spot as a fun, family night fave.
Happy Hour is great. Two dollar Bud Light bottles. Plus very good chips and salsa. You even get carrots with your chips, not too hot with a great flavor.
