Awesome service, awesome food. 10/27/2009

Ok so me and some friends made the day drip down from LA and I had eaten mexican food right up and down the west coast, from Seattle to San Francisco and then this, and I have to say this was by far my favourite. It wasn't exactly cheap but for the money we paid, I would easily do it again. I had some money to burn as I was leaving for home in 4 days so I bought lunch for me and two friends. We couldnt decide what we wanted when our waiter came over so he suggested we get 3 of their most popular dishes, and an unlimited supply of tortillas. What we got was a delicious lamb shoulder that had been slow roasted for 24 hours, some beef, some chicken and a bunch of condiments like rice, refried beans, guacamole, and a bunch of other things. We also got a whole lot of Pepsi. The service was great, our waiter was friendly and very quick with drink refills and he was up for a good chat too which was nice. All up i think it cost me about $75 to feed the three of us but this amount of food could easily have fed 5-6 adults and we still had some left over, so it worked out to be pretty good value. We had 6 or 7 torillias each and were absolutely stuffed, and we are no birds when it comes to food, having conquered 14 burgers at wendys in previous days, this was a great feast that I wont be forgetting, I often even dream about eating here again, its seriously that good. I will definately be going back next time I am in San Diego. Pros: Delicious food, good traditional style, friendly service Cons: Didn't have the time or room to finish my meal. more

Awesome 11/27/2008

I go to achiote a lot. A lot of the mexican food you see in San Diego are Taco shops so its nice, outside of mexico to find a place that serves a lot of different dishes that are delicious! I always get chilaquiles verde or enchiladas are also very good. Try the Mexican coffee too, it has cinnamon in it and its delicious. You wont be disappointed with the food here and everyone is also very nice. Pros: The Food! more
