MR. TEMPO Sports bar & Cantina — Restaurant in El Centro

I’ll start by saying this place is really cool looking and the vibes were nice. However the service was actually so bad… and the bathrooms were so filthy 😭. Tell me how they tried to give us the same plate of food 3 times after we told them we did not order that. We were looking at the lunch special and I was ordering for my teenage siblings. We read the wrong times that they started. But they lady did not tell us that.. so she ended up charging us 32 dollars for the “street tacos” that came with different toppings than that lunch special. In the description it said 2 tacos of your choice of meat with rice and beans that’s it. My siblings are picky and that was perfect for them. The tacos they brought back were full of I think cabbage and salsa and idk what else and we told them no we didn’t order that. They come back again and just set them down after we showed them exactly what we ordered from the menu with a different server. She is the one who informed us that the lunch time special hadn’t started. And we were like okay the other lady didn’t tell us that and we just want these tacos and what they come with. Another server came and fixed the issue with one of the plates but not the other. My other sibling didn’t even eat… And for whatever reason they also charged and brought out 2 plates of just rice and beans. We told them no we didn’t order that either. The CRAZY part of this all is that this place wasn’t even busy for everything to...

A Night to Remember at Mr. Tempo El Centro!

From the moment we walked into Mr. Tempo El Centro, we knew we were in for a special night. The energy, the vibes, and the atmosphere were absolutely electric. The décor was vibrant, the music was lively, and the staff welcomed us like family.

Let’s talk about the food—WOW. Every dish was bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the entrées, everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the creativity and passion behind every bite. Whether it was the tacos, the seafood, or the handcrafted cocktails—everything hit the spot.

What made the night even more unforgettable was the entertainment show. It wasn’t just dinner—it was a full-on experience! The performances were fun, interactive, and brought so much life to the evening. Everyone at our table was on their feet, smiling, laughing, and enjoying every second.

A HUGE thank you to the General Manager, Melisa, for going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail, hospitality, and genuine care for her guests made the experience that much more special. She truly knows how to create a five-star experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a spot with great food, incredible entertainment, and top-tier service, Mr. Tempo El Centro is the place to be. Can’t wait...

I'm very disappointed, I drove from Yuma,Arizona for my sister's birthday. I'll begin with the service, the waiter was kind and the food was brought out quick but he was very pushy. It seemed like he was trying to be quick for us to leave already. Once we were done eating we still wanted to be there to drink and just talk but he came to our table twice in the span of 5 minutes asking if everything was good. He was just very eager to get us out and get other people in even though they had no one in the front. The food is nothing like the Mr.Tempo in San Diego and Valle De Guadalupe, very flavorless. We were hoping to at least get the whole birthday shot experience and they didn't even have the light up candle. Restrooms were dirty to say the least. Why are the drinks $13 for a cup the size of a shot?! They can...
