Enjoyed time with great company... ate at night after a long drive. Met a friend and with my hubbs. Food pretty good! Requested mole shrimp enchiladas and grilled veggies...not on the menu but they made it for me! Really delicious! Mole was sweet a bit and great flavor mixed with the shrimp. Grilled vegetables spot on. Hubbs beans delish as well! Chips fine... thick and the salsa had a stronger kick than I'm used to but good too. There was quite a few customers. Manager said There were two servers down, so had to wait a bit, but did the best they could. Ambiance casual.

The Mexican restaurant scene in San Diego is basically open warfare. Talk about competition ! Plus, there's always Mexico a short drive away. In terms of what works north of the border, Tierrasanta Mexican simply does the job. Despite the generic name, the food and service are superlative. A friendly server greeted me, and provided chips, salsa and my drink order right away. Almost immediate service, and importantly, excellent chips and salsa. Alongside the basket of chips was a dish of spicy carrots and cooked onion, a rarity anymore in San Diego Restaurants. Deelish. My first ever order here was Carne Asada Quesadillas ($15.95) with refried beans, frijoles, and guacamole on the side for an additional $3.50. Called "COMBO", it is a very worthwhile upgrade. The quesadillas were expertly grilled, and very tasty, not to mention in a huge portion. I couldn't finish them, and brought them home for future consumption. Dividing the separate dining rooms, there is a very charming L-shaped bar, at which I envision myself hoisting a margarita or two in the near future. Excellent service, excellent food, this place has become my new Go-To Mexican restaurant.

Yelp will not let me remove my previous review, which is unfortunate. I decided to give them another try about a year after I wrote this and we've had nothing but wonderful experiences. The offending waiter no longer appears to work there and the rest of the staff are like friends now. The food and service is amazing. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend them. Easily the best Mexican food in San Diego, period. And that's a tall order here.

This is a pleasant looking Mexican restaurant off the beaten path. In a strip mall near the 52, we stopped in for dinner. The menu has many, many choices for both drink and food. I opted to have a white sangria that came with strawberries in the glass. It was very good and refreshing. The margaritas came in 2 different sizes and were enjoyed by those who ordered them. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. It came with a very small amount of guacamole and didn't have any sour cream or salsa. The shrimp were big and many. The tortilla was way too small for having any more than one shrimp at a time. The peppers could have been cooked a bit more and there could have been more sautéed onions. It was good, but not outstanding. My husband had the Camarones tierrasante. The shrimp were big and the bacon was crisp. This was a great combination. It was really good. The service was very good. The server came quickly and took both the drink order and food order without writing anything down. The amazing thing was that he got the order right! He brought out the drinks immediately and the entrees came a reasonable amount of time later. We had a good meal in a nice restaurant.
