Went to Belmont location last night. First visit.

Was pretty good and about equal to an average non special Mexican place in southern California. Waiter hardly spoke English so we had the extra authenticity.

Salsa was not spicy at all but tasted fresh. I would go back for sure.

I have many years of experience living in San Diego and know my Mexican. Generally there are three levels. Taco shop walk up, fast casual sit down and upscale. There are a million of the first two and a few of the upscale. But, no matter how fancy it is or what expensive ingredients your use there is only so much you can do to dress up an enchilada, rice and beans.
