- GGeraldSan Diego •24 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 18, 2024Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.More infoFlama LlamaPrice: Moderate• Latin American• Kearny Mesa•4.3
