Great place to enjoy lunch or dinner.
The shrimp cobb salad was amazing.
The portions were very generous and the service is pretty good. Unfortunately, even though I made a reservation ahead of time, I could not get the table that I wanted when I arrived. This is why service gets 4 stars.

Want wonderful service and delicious food? Our waiter was super helpful and was mindful of our theater time. We liked the steak sushi, the crab dip, and the beef with potato dish. I tried the Beetlejuice drink.

It's a very tourist destination but the location is great, food is good, and service is awesome. The tacos you build yourself and it's actually good that way! Kinda new flavors with the shredded cabbage but it works. Not authentic by any means but who cares, it was good. Sangria was OK- more wine vs. marinated fruit. Enjoy San Diego in one of the beat parks in the world one bite at a time!

This Jewel in Balboa Park offers ambiance, fantastic food, & great service.
Thad a delicious, thick, spicy black bean soup with a "pressed" arugula salad. The arugula salad had strawberries, candied nuts, and a light flavorful balsamic dressing.
My friend had the pasta alla Norma (pasta + sliced eggplant).
This restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

Ambiance: 10/10
We sat outside on the back porch. Great umbrellas everywhere, if you don’t want to be in the sun you absolutely do not have to be. Very comfortable and pretty. Location is centered in Balboa park which is hard to beat.
Food: 5/10
Birria Sandwich - the birria sauce was awesome. The meat was overcooked, which was sad. The French fries were good and the plate comes with ketchup so you don’t have to ask for it. The bread on the sandwich was good but the meat being dry was not fun.
Fish Tacos - came deconstructed, so you could load up your taco (3 tortillas) in any way you wanted. Problem was that the fish did not have much taste, and was a bit overcooked. The main protein being a let down is a huge hit.
Overall the meat standard knocked this review score down. Maybe try a vegetarian option.
