"The manager gave us a table out on the patio, even though they were short staff and had closed the patio to more people. I was a bit afraid that our service would be slow because of the staffing issue. However, that wasn 't a problem at all. Our waiter, Dave, was awesome. He was attentive and engaging, and we never had to wait for anything. We never felt rushed or bothered by constant do you need anything else? (read: hurry up and leave). Dave was a great representative for the restaurant. The manager was so fun! She checked in on us a couple of times, even offering us bug spray for mosquitos (which we never saw or felt). The food was really good. The only reason I didn 't give them 5 stars on the food is because the pork in my tacos Al Pasto were a little tough. But the flavor was great. Their salsa was so good, and the salsa tower was really interesting. Several of those were too hot for my taste, but the others were really good. I can 't wait to come back to Sobre Mesa."
