The Prado At Balboa Park - San Diego

We came in with a part of about 8-9 people and they seated/served us swiftly! It's been a while since the day I ate here, but, if i'm recalling correctly, I ordered the strawberry salad dish with salmon. It was cooked to tenderness and the salad had a nice balance of sweet and savory tones. I remember trying bites of other people food as well and everything was great. Would highly recommend visiting if you're walking around the area. Excellent dining experience with decent prices.

I am late to reviewing and forgetting the servers name. She was from Maryland, and the reason we ordered more than just a pick me up coffee before the Japanese Friendship Gardens. Our server (delightful as can be and a great conversation partner) encouraged us to try the Spicy Calamari and Aquachile. It's not the best flavor pairings with coffee. So, stick with a bubbly libation when ordering these delightful dishes. The flavors, however, are divine. Fresh ingredients that remain high quality! We enjoyed a table overlooking the gardens and lucked into it without a reservation. Although, I recommend reserving in advance for optimal seating and table assurance.

We came here twice during our visit to San Diego. Once for lunch and once for drinks. It’s a really cool and fun place to hang out but the food is just decent. Food is nothing amazing and menu is not out of the ordinary. But the atmosphere more than makes up for it. Drinks were also pretty tasty. The location and decoration is what makes this place stand out. In the middle of balboa park with really cool decorations makes this place a good place to celebrate events at.

Sitting in the patio area, surrounded by nature, you are transported to a different place! Great place for a date or to enjoy a meal or drinks after visiting Balboa Park. The hamburger and flan were awesome! I rated four stars because the filet mignon was significantly underseasoned. I will definitely return and do recommend to others.

A historic place in Balboa Park with Spanish architecture. The restaurant offers Mexican cuisine and other choices with a unique ambiance.
