   The flavor profiles are off putting and inconsistent. The crab tostada was not well put together with off putting favors and textures (tasted like canned tuna salad). The churro dessert is a cheap way of serving a really nice pastry. Not a good translation in flavor or product.

   I can highly recommend this place. Did the mezcal tasting and got some tacos that were OUTSTANDING! Definitely coming back. Oh and, make sure to also go to their speakeasy. Super cool ambiance, excellent bartenders and drinks 👍

   Decided to grab dinner here, that night they were having some kitchen trouble. We didn't mind eating something other then tacos. So we got a bunch of appetizers. The guacamole was a disappointment, it lacked flavor. The carnitas bao bun was the highlight of the night. So get this if you go. The kitchen issue was resolved, so we got the carnitas and steak tacos. They did not disappoint. The service was great, very attentive.

   This establishment is amazing and very unique. The atmosphere is welcoming as is the staff. You feel like you enjoying dinner and drinks in someone's home. The bar is cozy and friendly. Excellent cocktails and delicious fare. Mario and Zack were great. Will be a returning guest. Need to book a res for the speakeasy as I understand is very popular. All of us really really enjoyed our time at Tahona.

   The location was in old town San Diego, so parking was not too difficult to get. We had an 8:00 pm reservation, but we’re able to get seated earlier. As soon as we were seated, they dropped off some waters for our party, but nobody came by to take our order for another 20 minutes. Once we were able to get our food ordered, we took turns ti get to the restroom, and that’s where our experience started to go down. Of the 2 gender neutral restrooms, one door did not lock, so different patrons were constantly walking in in each other, and the restroom that did lock, was dirty. When our food arrived, it was delicious, but it was a challenge to get our servers attention to add to our order, such as dessert or get refills on drinks. When we put in our dessert order, we were disappointed to find out that some menu items are no longer being made, despite it being on their online menu, which is part of why we wanted to dine here again. We left after paying our bill and do not have any plans to return any time soon. Might be Williams by to revisit if recent reviews mention a significant change.

   We came for a dinner birthday celebration and we brought 2 young adults who don't drink, that being said...the service and food were great! I tried a plain original flavored margarita,, which was very tasty, howeverI really would considerofferingflavored margaritas!! My favorite is Midori. Lots of people drink strawberry or peach...We were sat at a booth which had a bunch of pillows which seems a bit odd for dinner. The only food recommendation I can give would be: chips should have been free(on the house), rice and beans were a side dish, and quite small. Maybe offer them as a combination with Carne asada tacos? I really enjoyed my carnitas tacos. Best in the city!!!!My son ordered the Birria & Bone marrow, quite an interesting dish! Could have been better if the blue corn tortillas were soft. We will definitely come back again

    Cool little place in Old Town, food was pretty good, not a ton of options but overall it was fine. Margaritas were good, wait staff was nice, and I’d recommend getting a reservation because the place isn’t very big.

    We arrived early in the night when it wasn’t busy. It took 30 minutes and two waiters to get us our drinks. Apps arrived before the drinks. The food was okay, nothing memorable. Service was poor and largely absent while we were there. We planned to have dinner there but ended up leaving to go to a different restaurant in the area because of the service.

    Best restaurant from a weeklong stay in San Diego. Interior decor is beautiful, relaxing, charming. Cocktails fresh and well executed. The coconut salad was so original/creative and very delicious. And then the tacos, oh my goodness, a+. Service very friendly as well.

    Very underwhelming experience, came to celebrate my birthday and ended up leaving shortly after being seated. The host didn’t acknowledge us until 15 minutes after we sat, took our drink/app order and disappeared for the night. The food was cold and the salsas tasted like canned tomato sauce. Many other options in old town that meet service expectations.

    We had made reservations in advance and out in the notes it was for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We LOOOVE Tahona - it’s our favorite spot. When we got there the hostess walked us to an already taken table - said she made a mistake and then moved us to a standing bar table :( I was so bummed!!! It was our anniversary and felt like we were just shafted. When we get there we waited a while for our waiter to get there and it just felt awkward - we didn’t know if we had to go order at the bar. Once our waiter came, he was amazing and did an incredible job. The food and drinks made up for the cruddy seating we ended up with (with a reservation and notes for anniversary was really hoping for a better seat). Tahona is an amazing place with wonderful service and food - just wish that night we would have been seated somewhere more meaningful I guess?

    This is our new favorite date night spot! 😍 Everything about our experience impressed us. The modern rustic decor, the creative menu and delicious food, the incredible cocktails (Bien Picado, Carajillo) the friendly staff, the ambiance and lively musicians (Sunday night) had us bewitched and we felt like we were somewhere far away on a fabulous vacation. As a lifelong lover and student of Mexican cuisine, I tried a few things on the menu that were completely new to me. Just amazing. I can’t wait to go back!!!

    I had reservation, but the hostess still take us to the bar stool areas. I waiter was ok, but he did not provide much of services. However, the Restaurant paying system asking for 20% tip. The restaurant does not pay enough to its employee and force customer to pay 20% tip is outrageous behavior. Even Food is food, I try not to support business to this kind of restaurant.

    Being seated and overall service was somewhat awkward, and our server mostly came up to our table and stared at us without saying much or asking guiding questions. The drinks we ordered came last, even after our main course, and the live music is not very conducive to such a small setting given the volume being so high. The food is ok, but frankly there is much better Mexican food in San Diego. I’d come back for the speakeasy in the back, but not the restaurant itself.

    Tahona failed to deliver a positive dining experience. My server was quite distracted, which didn't make too much sense since we were one of the first tables who arrived for dinner service. I asked the server about the catch of the day and he didn't come back for about 15 minutes. When he returned, I reminded him about my question and he said he checked with the chefs about 86'ing the previous night's menu. While I work in the food industry, I don't think there's a reason to use culinary slang in this scenario. The food was okay - stuffed squash blossoms and tuna empanadas - but wasn't worth the price. Frankly, I recommend the speakeasy behind this restaurant (Oculto 477), but I would skip having a meal here.

    Absolutely, hands down, one of the best culinary experiences in San Diego County! Innovative and fresh, every dish hits the palette differently and remains savory. Mezcal? Say no more! Their Paloma and Oaxacan Firing Squad will exceed expectations and immediately transport you to what you imagine old San Diego was like. Caleb was our waiter and he is wonderful. Extremely friendly, efficient, and has a lot of knowledge about the foods that are served here. The Tahona bar is a MUST for anyone visiting San Diego, or for any locals looking for a great date night spot.

    We were the first to be seated for dinner when they opened. We choose outdoor seating as the air felt a little stuffy indoors (but we love their interior space!). The food was thoughtful and executed well. It’s nice that they have some outdoor seating now, but keep in mind it’s street-side, so there’s a good amount of traffic noise. The biggest downside of the outdoor seating is the cigar bar a block down which wafts through and can really kill the experience. This is not the restaurant’s fault by any means, but a good-to-know. We love this intimate spot for a nice evening out.

    Not what we expected for a Mexican restaurant. Food was bland and had little to no taste. Presentation was nice but the taste didn't match the looks. I had the empanadas and it felt like I was eating cardboard. My wife had birria with bone marrow, she described it as being very bland. She enjoyed her drink, it wasn't very strong in taste for her. I agreed with her as I could barely taste the mezcal in mine.
