"It was a Sunday morning and we planned to meet some of our motorcycling friends for lunch. We originally made reservations for 12:45, but got down there earlier. They were able to seat us immediately. Fortunately, our friends got down there early enough to get a parking space because if they hadn't, parking is a mess there at the pier area. So we sat on the patio, which was nice, but kinda had an alleyway feel to it. Quite a bit of foot traffic, but not much of a view. The table they sat us at was pretty small. It had a bucket in the middle with napkins, utensils, and salt/pepper. There was no way 4 drinks, 4 large plates and everything else would fit on that small table. We had to ask for an extra chair to put the bucket and a few other things on. We ordered the Tequilla shrimp appetizer that was awesome. They also brought out chips with three different kinds of salsa that were also pretty good. I had the Tres Amigos Tacos, which were three tacos...one carne asada, one shrimp, and one lobster. Those were all very good as well. My g/f had the lobster fajitas tacos, She said her's were very tasty and she liked them. We got there early enough to beat the lunch crowd, so they were not busy. Our food came out pretty quickly and was all very hot and fresh. It may be weird, but one of the ways I generally rate service is by my drink glass. Today I had water, and I had to ask several times for a refill. I like the waiter/waitress that sees a half full glass and either refills it, or at least asks if you'd like a refill. Overall, this was a very nice lunch experience. I'd go back, but I'd like to try the Old Town San Diego location next time."

"My first visit here for an impromptu brunch… The air was welcoming and unassuming, leather vintage chairs for comfort and cozyness, surrounded by a slightly eclectic decor. We sat outside and familiarized with the wobbly table easily balanced with some pennies. We ordered drinks and main courses, truffles Mac n cheese and a burger, as we read in the menu, the grilled Brussels sprouts catch our eyes and we now have a clearer picture. The Brussels sprouts arrive and they’re amazing, slightly charred with hints of balsamic and a light spice ensemble that rounded it up perfectly. Bravo. The Mac n cheese and the cheeseburger arrive and I can confidently say it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time, carefully crafted every small bite had its own gravity, the white cheddar was married by a light horseradish and crispy fried onions, the fresh tomato balanced it with gusto and brought it back to the beef patty, juicy and fresh with a hint of a sweet after bite. Delicious. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a slight crunch that energized the dips, a homemade mayonnaise with a pinch of pink salt and organic ketchup, married into the perfect bite and scooped with two fries simultaneously. Again. Bravo. Perfect brunch and perfect settings. What life little moments are made of. Do yourself a favor and treat your taste buds here."

"Another spot I haven't dropped a review for. So, here goes ... Another spot on Washington. This time close to the corner of Washington and Midway. A block west of Overland. Nothing but street parking unless you want to walk from the shopping plaza. Meter enforcement stops at 6. The restaurant is pretty small. However, there's both indoor and outdoor seating. Not a fan of sitting outside though, as it's on the sidewalk, not an enclosed patio so lots of people walking by. Not to mention the cars exhaust and noise. Service has been hit and miss, but mostly hit otherwise, I likely wouldn't have come back as much as I have. I won't go into the miss so I'll just say that each time I've dined here, it's been after work, meaning dinner rush. So, the staff were busy, but still friendly and nice enough. I didn't include attentive as the place is small enough that anyone can just catch someone's attention by just turning your head towards the counter/kitchen or staff. I've enjoyed all the dishes I've had here. See pics. A few dishes I felt the portion size was a little lacking but it definitely made up in taste. The pasta dishes I've ordered all came out to my liking, just a little al dente. Meat temperatures were never beyond medium and I really enjoy the bread and Aji Verde. The sauce isn't as spicy as I love, but still good enough that I have to refrain from eating too much before the entree is served. I just wish they served cocktails. Overall, I like Lonzo's and I'm sure I'll be back for more."

"Originally was going to go eat at a restaurant next to this restaurant, but I 've been curious to try the food here. Today, because there there was a wait at the restaurant I usually visit, I decided to try Huapangos. Here are my pros and cons.Pros we were seated right away. The check came in right away and were able to pay immediately.Cons the music was SOOOO loud!This was for breakfast time too. It was so difficult to have a conversation. It was so loud the waitress had a hard time getting our order. As a matter of fact, one of the orders was wrong. We didn 't get menu 's and didn 't get a refill on our chips. But, the worse thing about our experience was the wait time to get our food. It took over an hour to get served. Additionally, we had to keep looking for our waitress to get a refills on our drinks. The cafe de Olla tasted as if was syrup, not a traditional cafe de Olla at all!When we finally got our food it was just ok, definitely not worth the long wait. I had the J.T. 's sandwich. The menu says it is a carne asada sandwich, which sounded like a great option. Well, it was a completely disappointment. The sandwich was served on sourdough which I can safely say it does not go good with carne asada. Needles to say my families food had the same reaction. By the end of our meal, we really just wanted to finish our poor experience.Too bad because I had really hoped to have two options in the area where we could bring family and friends and enjoy a good meal.Overall, I definitely have to give Huapangos a poor review based on atmosphere of the restaurant, service and food presentation and taste. Sorry Huapangos, I hope you can improve and cater to all customers in the future."
