" I stopped by Colima's for a late-night bite after a night out, and I'm so glad I did! The carne asada fries were crazy good, loaded with fresh toppings. The atmosphere was really energetic, and I loved that it was open late. I can definitely see why this spot is popular among locals. My only concern was the cleanliness of the dining area—it could use some tidying up. Otherwise, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Colima's! Their birria tacos have been the best I’ve had in SD, so delicious! Each bite is packed with flavor, the meat is tender and the dipping broth enhances it all. It feels like a little piece of Mexico right here. Portions are huge, and the prices are fantastic. The dine-in area was lively and casual, perfect for a laid-back meal. Can't wait to go back to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a fan of Colima's for a while now and their consistency never wavers! The chicken enchiladas are such a standout with their robust flavor. Cannot beat the prices either! The portion sizes are great for the cost. It’s a laid-back spot with plenty of seating, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations for Colima's, I can't say I walked away completely satisfied. The tacos were decent but not memorable, and I felt the portions could have been larger for the price I paid. The service staff was friendly, which was a plus. Perhaps I came on a subpar day. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chance to enjoy tacos from Colima's for the first time earlier this week! The flavor blew me away, especially the grilled shrimp taco. Loved the blend of seasonings! The service was a bit slow, likely due to the rush, but the staff was accommodating. I’d love to go back and try more items from their menu. Overall, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I was excited to try Colima's. The food was decent but didn’t quite hit the spot for me. My enchiladas tasted a bit bland, and I was expecting more from their salsa—it lacked a kick. However, the service was excellent, and the staff was very pleasant. I'll probably give it another chance because I know they have a loyal following. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Colima's a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance felt inviting and welcoming, and the menu offered a wide variety of traditional options. I went for the enchiladas and they were packed with flavor—the sauce was rich and the cheese melted perfectly. The only downside was the wait time, but it was worth it. The team was busy but still managed to keep a smile. If you're in the area, I'd urge you to try it out for yourself! " (*Curated Review*)
