Great food! Drinks are amazing and the deserts are phenomenal. Service and ambiance is great. We went on a weekday, so there was no one there.
This was our first time at Tahona. Happy Hour at the bar turned into 4 hours of tantalizing flavors and beautiful created drinks of Mezcal(s) which paired deliciously with the appetizers!! We moved from our table at the bar to the main bar. The bartender, Gem, was captivating as he prepared different libations! There is a Speakeasy (Oculto 477) next to the bar and we couldn't sneak in if we tried - reservations are month out! Salud, Tahona Bar, we will be back!!

Went here as part of a bachelorette celebration for my friend. She is a big fan of mezcal and tequila and this place blew us away!
The place is very cute but it’s the food and service that made this an incredible experience.
Our group was on the smaller end 5 total. We ordered the mezcalier’s flight and the Mexican states flight along with the mezcal margarita, pasion de mais, and guavasita cocktails.
For food we ordered the seasonal guacamole, corn croquetas, tempura squash blossom, tetela mole flight, the rabbit pastor taco, camarones taco, and green goodness taco.
It’s not an exaggeration to say I loved everything (I didn’t get to try the rabbit pastor taco) my personal favorites were the squash blossom and the seasonal guacamole.
I personally got the mezcalier flight and the 3rd mezcal, Pasíon Ancestral was divine. I also had the guavasita which was so refreshing after the flight but I got to try the Pasion de Mais and I would have ordered another had we not had more plans.
Finally the service that Zach gave us was just above and beyond. He was serving a lot of tables and yet we never felt neglected, he was a joy to talk to and his enthusiasm was very contagious. He really made the day that much more incredible. Because as many of us can attest to a great meal can be ruined by bad or mediocre service. So great service makes great food FANTASTIC!
Fun vibe.
Great concept. Mezcal bar.
Fabulous service.
Unique and tasty drinks.
Cant wait to come back.
Highest commendations to chef Adrian (sp?) and host Zach! They elevated a fantastic flight of mezcal and tacos beyond all expectations of hospitality, down to the last detail. Perfect tortillas, daily-sourced ahi, unique mezcal - all expertly balanced for a beautiful dining experience!
Delicious Mexican cuisine prepared with originality and finesse. The guacamole was light and delicate with nice citrus accents. The trio of moles was a fun dish, with three very different preparations of mole served on a chewy masa cake stuffed with potato. This dish is great for sharing. The tacos were flavorful with herbs and spices that complemented the meat in the taco. Good margaritas and friendly, outgoing service.
The best experience I've ever had at a cocktail bar!! We sat at the bar and just watching the staff make the drinks was an experience itself. The bar tender Mitch is awesome! All the staff was very friendly and went out of their way multiple times to make sure we had everything that we wanted. I will recommend this spot to anyone that is coming to San Diego.
The hostess didn't seem like much of a "people person" but everything else was great. The food was surprisingly filling for 3 tacos. We did have sopecitos as an appetizer and tried 4 different cocktails, all of which were great. I've been to the Tahona in Mexico so I mixed expectations for this, but overall I was impressed.
Went here for some tapas and drinks with friends during lunch. The place had several tables outside and the weather was great. We were received by a really nice individual who took us to the bar to order our drinks. The selection was broad and variable. The bartender helped us with our selection based on our taste. She even recommended tequilas that we could buy later on. Have to say the drinks were spot on. Amazing and refreshing which is what we wanted as it was a hot day. We order some food (don’t remember the name of the plate now), which was tasty, well prepared, fulfilling and it went really well with the drinks. I would definitely go back to this place. Highly recommended!
A higher-end experience than some of the other Mexican restaurants in Old Town, so don’t expect the long menus and prices you see at other spots.
The menu, while small, is curated very well and allows the chefs to focus on the quality and taste of each dish. However, this may not be what everyone is looking for, especially in Old Town. Just be aware!
The food was delicious and came out at a good pace. We had the guacamole - large portion, the corn croquetas - small portion, and some tacos. The quesobirria tacos are a MUST.
Finally, drinks were tasty and VERY reasonable. Likely because they do have a hidden bar that specializes in inventive cocktails at a higher price point!
