This is one of many "we-are-oh-so-close-to-Mexico" restaurants located in Old Town San Diego that you can take your visiting relative to. We went there with a cousin who was in town for a conference of 8000 statisticians at the Convention Center (apparently statisticians really do believe in the law of large numbers).
The restaurant was extremely crowded (Sat night, around 7pm). The restaurant does not accept reservations and the wait time was about 30min. Parking in the restaurant lot was a nightmare, but we could find relatively easy parking on Calhoun Street. The unending "Last Call for Dick, Party of 4!!!" announcements more than drowned out the live music where we were sitting. It might be worth it to ask for a seat in other parts of the restaurant, especially the courtyard (which was unusable on this day due to rain) where the Mariachi band plays.
On the plus side, the food was good and the margaritas were huge. We had crab cakes (excellent) and chipotle chicken tacos (avoidable) for appetizers and the fiesta fajitas (good) and camarones rancheros (excellent) for entrees. The portions are big here, so 2 entrees were more than enough for 3 people.
