I loved our waiter Roy he was the best. Also the guacamole and their queso is DELICIOUS!!! I also had a top shelf strawberry margarita yum!! And for dessert we had the coconut flan, we didn’t even have room left and it was so tasty!! Just the best place, it’s really close to the airport so make sure to stop by it will be worth it!
The staff were super friendly and our server Roy was a doll! The food was A M A Z I N G! There French toast is literally the best I've ever had! We sat on the patio and it was gorgeous out! Overall great experience! Definitely will be back!
Great spot to get good Mexican food, it was delicious. Started off with the chips and amazing salsa but the guacamole made table side was even better. Had the crab enchiladas and steak burritos, portions were ginormous and taste didn’t disappoint. The hibiscus margarita was also great and slowly creeps up on you. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely a place to visit again.
The other day, my friend invited me to lunch at Ortega's: A Mexican Bistro, in Hillcrest. It was an awesome experience. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because of limited parking and exorbitant prices.
It's a quaint little Bistro; when you arrive you are greeted and seated. You can dine indoors, or out on the patio. We chose to eat outside. They start you off with homemade tortilla chips and fresh salsa. I had a coke, and my friend had an ice tea. My friend ordered a Cesar's Salad, and I ordered two Baja Steak tacos. The food was superb, but on the pricey side. ($19.75 for two tacos).
All in all, if you want tasty, authentic Mexican cuisine and you're near Hillcrest, stop by Ortega's.
"Excellent Mexican spot with Baja-style lobster, pomegranate margaritas & tableside guacamole."
"Great service. Good margarita! Lobster a bit chewy. But overall, great value!"
"Dinner was excellent and service was even better. Lobster, rice and beans delicious!"
Overall, Ortega's A Mexican Bistro seems like a great place to go for a delicious Mexican meal and a fun atmosphere. I would definitely recommend checking it out!
Had a delicious birthday lunch at Ortegas! Great food and atmosphere. Parking is challenging but I would recommend it!

Upon spontaneously dropping by Ortega's Mexican Bistro in Hillcrest, San Diego, we were delighted to be quickly seated at a table for two. The atmosphere was charming and softly lit, creating an instantly warm and welcoming setting. Our server was nothing short of friendly, taking the time to explain the menu to us and patiently addressing our inquiries.
I had some special dietary requests, which were catered to seamlessly without any hassle. Our dining experience kicked off with complimentary Nacho Chips and Salsa. As soon as we finished our first serving, a second one arrived promptly at our table without even having to request for it - talk about attentive service!
The star of the night was undoubtedly the vegetarian burrito without cheese, which was simply delicious. The sautéed onions and bell peppers were cooked to perfection, lending their rich flavors to the dish. The food, service, and overall ambiance certainly exceeded our expectations.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ortega's Mexican Bistro to anyone in search of an authentic and enjoyable Mexican culinary experience in San Diego. We will definitely be coming back!
Excellent food and great service. Had the lobster entree. Lobster was well cooked and sides and soup were also tasty.
Amazing neighborhood gem. The decor inside and out are amazing. Flavors on the food are not to excessive and the portion sizes are just right. The brunch menu has Mexican staples and unlimited mimosas at a great price.
This restaurant is a short walking distance from the Hillcrest Hill Bed & Breakfast where we were staying. We arrived at 5 pm during happy hour (3-6 pm) and enjoyed delicious sangrias and tacos! The shrimp tacos were excellent and with two tacos and beans it was more than enough for dinner. Excellent service as well.
Very good Mexican food and very tasty fresh handmade tortillas. Pricing is a bit high, but the portions are reasonable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall I recommend you stop by and give them a try when you’re in the neighborhood.
Made a reservation and went on a Saturday night.... wasn't too busy. Laid back little spot.
I suggest the queso fundido as an appetizer! Comes out on a skillet with fresh tortillas...so freaking good
We also ordered the shrimp enchiladas and carnitas plates. Overall everything was good, we left with full bellies
