Casa Octavio — Restaurant in San Diego

This place sucks. My dad and I came here after a concert (no it was not busy) and before we had even ordered, I had asked our waiter how much an extra side of sour cream would be, and he had told us that it wouldn’t be a problem and that he would cover it. I would never expect another person to pay for something that I asked for, but since he offered it, I expected it to not be on our bill but when we received the bill, it was $2.50. I wouldn’t have mind paying extra for it, but since he said he would cover it made me upset. We had then ordered the Shrimp Diablo Tacos and Filet Mignon asada tacos. When the food came out (my meal was correct), he had brought a shrimp burrito without the sides of beans and rice and then when we told him it was wrong, he came back and asked us if we were sure that we ordered the right thing which I found disrespectful because we made it very clear what we wanted. He didn’t offer to remake it and just served my dad the burrito anyways. The burrito ended up being $12 more than the tacos that he had originally ordered and he charged us for an extra side of beans. and the cherry on top was that he took away my plate of food before I was even done eating. The staff for the most part was welcoming. I think this one waiter was just a problem. I wouldn’t recommend coming here and I...

Honestly, I don’t even want to give a great review because this it the type of rare and phenomenal place you tell your friends about. And why I say that is because the service and the food and the tequila section is unmatched. Like the the selection alone just embarrasses the other bars. It’s the type of thing where you don’t want to say anything because it hits so good and in all the right ways. So like I would say this absolutely true to anyone when I say the service here is the best I ever had. I have over 2.5 million views on my reviews and honestly it is whatever but the thing is I hope you don’t go because you won’t want to go anywhere else for this type of experience in the area. It’s crazy too because it is beyond impressive. Erica went above and beyond at the bar. Even when I walked in the owner greeted me and made me feel welcome as I wanted for the person I was gonna meet. You don’t get this at other places trust me. I am and will and definitely coming back here again. Last thing I will say is that anyone who rates this 4 or less obviously is drunk or has never been anywhere anytime ever. That’s so aggressive and I will admit that but it’s the best flavor of great service, great food and great ambiance. Not all places have all of that. Thank you for the owner and staff. It was a...

Sliders were great! Guacamole was day old at best(brown on top layer). Girls got 3 salads. 1 salad had SOY SAUCE instead of balsamic. 2 salad was waaaay over seasoned and salted. Both spit out first bite. Waiter confirmed the salads were inedible. Wife's salad was ordered NO CANDIED WALNUTS, but they brought it by 4 times and it was wrong. Finally, just refused the salads altogether. Super expensive for a disastrous pre-concert meal! The bill was still $168 for 2 sliders plates and 6 drinks!! We paid for what we didn't refuse, bit the argument was on when one of the ladies got a little vocal with the waiter who was less than cordial, but admitted they had "a new chef" so everything was basically wrong with our order. Cucumber mojito or something g like that, was basically alcohol free, which caused another kerfuffle!! All in all....I would eat the sliders again(delicious), but I would never go there again, so not likely to eat again. I hate poor reviews, but it was less than acceptable. Moreover, when we got there it was empty and we still waited...
