Well I loved the place, sitting outside almost reminds you of the old place in OLD TOWN. My food was great, beer was okay. Chairs are a little small and uncomfortable OUTSIDE, if your big or tall eat inside. The staff was hit an miss, but the food is really good.

Great drinks-but the food is kind of Cal-Mex, which is GREAT if that's what you are looking for-but if you are looking for down home San Diego Mexican food, it's not the same.
Try the La Playa Margarita-it's KILLER!

NORTE DOES HAS A VERY RUDE STAFF. It has been an uncomforatble dining experience for me the last few times I've went there. I haven't felt welcomed there for the last few years in fact. I complained to the owner previously and he tried to pic a verbal fight with me! reading some of the reviews below tells me why, what a ...

ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE, ATTITUDE!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE! VERY POOR SERVICE TEAM with an hidden agenda. Very hostile people work here at this restuarant. The service crew is simply demoralizing, diabiolical, sarcastic and greedy. They don't Like WHITE people either. IT'S ONE OF THOSE PLACES. They are overtly hostile and ...

loved the place until one of the owners is trying to date my girlfriend, get a life you are almost fifty. Its one thing to be nice to your staff, but flirting and dating younger women who are half ur age is bad for business

Fidels rocks! I have been a loyal customer for years and years! Well, about 11-12 years solid! I moved away to Texas and we don't have good mexican food out here, but everytime I go back home, Fidels is on my top list of things to do. In all my years I have never had a bad drink, meal or service. It's a laidback, friendly place to eat or ...

I was part of a large family gathering this Afternoon, and it was very disappointing. Out of 10 of us there, no one was happy with their meal. Saveral had to send their food back, and the others got the wrong meals they had ordered. One of the Burrito's was so hard, they couldn't cut through it. The chicken Quesidilla had one piece of ...
