“ We went there on a random Tuesday night and it was very much still lively. We did a walk in and was seated right away. They sat us get to the window where we can see part of the pier and the ocean. I got the chicken mole and it was delicious!! No complaints. The chicken was tender, and mile sauce was flavorful and exquisite. Waiter came back to check on us many time and food came out fairly quickly. Overall good experience and I would go there again. Also got the chamoy margarita and it was good! ”
“ Wow. The food was super yummy but the service was almost even more wonderful. Our server was above perfect and the feel inside here was super comfortable and clean. This was a great place to eat and a great taste of everything we ordered. ”
“ Always enjoy this place when I am in San Diego! Nice location and always good food and great staff! ”
“ Great spot that's off the water near the airport with excellent service and good food! My coworkers and I stopped by while on a layover and the happy hour was Fantastic! We ordered the shredded chicken nacho, beef empanadas, Miguel's flatbread and the flautas. All on the happy hour menu and only $7 good proportions for a single person and great to combine and share. Christian was our bar tender and he was a delight! He was very attentive and social. The restaurant was not very busy but the bar area was almost completely full. The decor was beautiful with a twist of exotic memorization of beautiful paintings of women and colorful eye catching wild cats. Perfect for a happy hour pow wow or family dinning experience. ”
“ Great location with a stunning view of the harbor. Delicious Mexican food and great customer service. Worth checking out and enjoying a good meal with a view. There is indoor, outdoor, and bar seating available. There is a beautiful view of the harbor and outdoor heaters to keep you warm. There is complimentary chips, salsa, and a jalapeño cheese dip. The server was attentive, friendly, and kept checking on us. The prices were reasonable, approximately $30 a person for a plate and beer. The food came out quickly, was fresh, hot, and tasted amazing. I ordered the chicken and mole plate. Was a lot of food and I couldn't finish it all. The flavor of the mole was good and had a little kick. The chicken was juicy, and the rice and beans were good. The beers were ice cold and everyone enjoyed their meals. All around great experience. Will definitely come back. ”
“ It was a long day at Breeders Cup. We decided to walk across the street to Portside and get a light dinner at Miguel's Cocina. The chicken Taquitos were amazing, a good sized appetizer portion and very filling. This is pricey Mexican, but very good. 103 ”
“ Right on San Diego bay. The restaurant is beautiful with amazing views anywhere you sit. We were there for dinner so we got to see a beautiful sunset along with our meal. The portions are big. We got an appetizer and it was great! I would order the flautas each time I go. I had the sopes and they were really good. I had one with each of the three meats offered. Overall we tried a bunch of things on the menu. We really enjoyed the guacamole. Definitely a great place to try for both the food and the view. ”
