The place is astonishing as far as aesthetics, the views specially during sunset are amazing, the food “at least what me and my family had” was delicious, it took a bit long from the time we order till the time we got the good, but, i am good understanding that when a place is busy a delay in service is expected. The servers are very polite, the drinks are good to the taste as well. I happened to be there when the Christmas theme is up, it gives the place a dreamy magical touch.

I always like to be sincere and trust me if I'm taking the time to review your place it is because you earn a place on my list, of favorite ones. Overall it was a great experience and will totally recommend and repeat. Food was pleasant and enjoyable, clean and presentable plates. Great job by chef and staff. For Service, I will try to be a more fair Judge and come back when they are really busy. But in a non busy day service was kind of weak and in a way slow. Hey on my next visit I will make sure to double check and see how we are doing. Great atmosphere, music was pleasant and enjoyable. Dj played good music that we appreciated. Totally recommend and will for sure come back.

First timer and it was great! Great music, great food and drinks. Our waiter was very attentive and recommending of their food/drinks. They have an upstairs dining area as well. There’s a little upstairs area on the right side of the restaurant and it has a beautiful view. They also have a small alcohol room where you can try out some of their tequilas/whiskey that you can purchase. There’s a Nextdoor spot called Encanto and it’s suppose to be the same type of restaurant. There’s whole area is beautiful and they have little prop areas to take pictures at as well. The women’s restroom has a beautiful little porch and view.

Sadly, because we were on our way to the vineyards, we didn't order food but what we saw around us looked great. This spot is one of a kind. The ocean breaking just below the seating area is perhaps might I say moving. The drinks were actually great. Ordered a Paloma and it was perfect. The sheer spectacle of this place is what grabs you. So plan to get there early and stay a while. There's not any lodging options close by. But really this place should be enjoyed. Closer to sunset would really be amazing. Just plan accordingly and take in the ambiance.

we drove approximately 5-6 hours from california to mexico just to try this beautiful restaurant . the ambiance and the view is incredible. everywhere you turn it is so beautiful. the food was okay but the french toast was on a different level incredibly soft and delicious. the server was very kind. if you go please be patient with them especially if there is a language barrier .

The place was amazing, the food was really good. It's a bit pricey, but it's an experience worth paying for. Service was a bit lacking, but maybe it was a bad day. Still, I will definitely come back. The views are just astonishing. Update: We came back with our family again and service was amazing. They really improved on everything. Definitely a good choice to have breakfast/lunch.

This place is a short drive across the border from San Diego. Food was ok. Drinks were very good. Ambiance and views are off the chart.

Beautiful restaurant with a breathtaking view. Food is good but could be better. Service is also slow. Wait time to get in about 30 to 45 minutes.
