Latin American restaurant
👍👍 Haven't tried too many Peruvian dishes and since I love me some Asian cuisines and I practically live on Convoy, I had to try some Chinese Peruvian fusion cuisine, also known as chifa! The stuff we ordered was amazing and everything went well together. I ordered the Mojo Pork, and the Fried Yucca as...

It’s got it’s own taste, not the taco shop taste si no un sabor a comida mexicana estiló mexicano. The establishment is very spacious and can definitely accommodat...

👍👍 11/22' Cool little taco shop tucked inside a shopping plaza close by the 905 & border. What led me to this was the Xmas outlet they had here by following the sign off otay mesa. Had the adobada burrito. Not the biggest but had plenty of flavor and the red salsa was 🔥 for around $8. I would visit ag...

Zama San Diego
Latin American restaurant
🫤 TL;DR: Long wait for a table (50 minutes despite a reservation). Service was rushed and unorganized—our waitress implied she was the only one cleaning (but never actually did), and we had to prompt staff multiple times for things like ginger and a spoon. Food took an hour to arrive, and when it did,...
