La Divina Cocina y Cantina — Restaurant in San Diego

Wanted to try something new and not sure how I feel about it. It was really dead when we came in which is ok as long as the service is good. When we arrived we greeted immediately and seated. Once seated we were greeted with a smile by the server. We began asking questions to which she let us know that she had only been there a week so didn’t know all the answers to the questions being asked. It’s ok to be new so that wasn’t the issue. My issue was that we asked for an appetizer and she offered to bring chips and we said sure. It’s a Mexican restaurant so we didn’t think anything of it. It came out and the salsas were delicious as was the guacamole; which I was surprised about since we didn’t ask for guacamole. We ordered the rest of the food and although I had to send back the steak because it wasn’t cooked to requested temp, which was corrected quickly, everything was tasty. When we got the check I noticed we were charged $13 for chips and guacamole. I wouldn’t normally mind paying but I wish it wasn’t made as if it was included and then charged. I didn’t complain and paid for it but it just seemed as a very deceptive way to...

Horrible experience. If I could put negative stars on this app I would. The service was bad. The moment we sat on the table, the table was dirty. The food came out an hour and a half after we ordered. We never heard from the waiters about our food, or reaching out to us for refills on waters. When we got our food, we lost our appetite. The food was cold, they didn’t ask if we needed anything else (sauces, napkins, etc), some plates didn’t look presentable or tasteful, and some got their food while others were waiting. When we ask for the check or a box to go, I thought they forgot about us because we didn’t get anything after 15 more minutes of sitting and waiting. They say that DMVs are horrible because of the rude workers and the wait times but this place...

I’ll start off with saying the food was alright. It’s basically a copy of King and Queen Catina’s menu. My party and I arrived around 5pm and we had to wait an hour and a half for our food. Everything came out separately and towards the end one of our friends still had not received their burger. Before the burger even came out we had asked our server if they could just put it in a to go box because we all just wanted to get out of there. They still plated his food regardless, which they made us wait an extra 15min just for a box. The atmosphere overall was eh, the servers weren’t friendly at all, not once did they come check on us after served our drinks. Never tried to give us more water or anything at all. Definitely would not...
