URBANA Mexican Gastronomy

Overpriced Mexican fare in the sky deck near del mar. Similar to Puesto, the tacos are good but it feels bad that they cost so much you can't get as much variety. And some of the taco combinations were a bit bland like the pork belly. The drinks were just ok, a little watered down. We got the nachos - they were nothing special. As other reviewers noted, there's no complimentary chips and salsa which we would have preferred.We had no trouble getting a seat on a Thursday evening and the shopping center has ample parking. Wait staff was nice but it took a while for food and drinks to start coming out. Good location though for food.

Took a quick spot and tried this amazing restaurant at skydeck Delmar. I like the ambience, positive vibes and there is lot of different cuisine available at same place.Tried their rolled tacos, I will give complete five start on the presentation, quantity and food taste.I am planning to visit again as this place is definitely worth it and try other items from the menu.

A quick drink here while we wait for our reservation to Understory Bar just feet away and I went with a classic... - Old Fashioned | A little sweet and bitter with a hint of citrus for fun. My friend got a shot of Reposado and the price made me fall off my bar stool, $50?! Damn. I took a $3 sip; it came through smooth with notes of smokiness. Excellent, but again, damn... Location is on the second floor Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands (food hall). There's a surface lot in front and parking is free, but you gotta hunt it down. You can also park in a parking structure (behind all the shops) off of Townsgate Drive. I'd come back to try out their food next time, and maybe like a half shot of Reposado.

Tonight we discovered new items on the menu!The Brussels sprouts and the oystersThis place is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area

I hosted a Friday dinner for my MeetUp Fun Diego Ladies group. Our party of 11 had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. The day prior to our visit was National Margarita Day, but the restaurant decided to extend the margarita specials for our visit. I ordered the margarita with repo tequila and have to say it was the best I've had. What really surprised me was I did not turn blotchy red! Yes, I have that Asian glow that's not very flattering! Normally ANY alcohol makes me turn blotchy red from my head to my tummy, so I tend to stay away from alcoholic beverages. I can handle the alcohol, but don't care for the side effects. I guess I'll know where to go next time I want a tasty margarita without the redness! Seriously though, they have good stuff!For my meal, I ordered the fish tacos and carnitas. I absolutely love the habanera sauce that came with my carnitas taco. It was packed with heat and was incredibly flavorful. A few of my friends ordered this sauce on the side for $1. I didn't care for all the cream on the fish tacos, so next time, I'm going straight for the carnitas!Our server Chase took good care of us and was quick to take our orders and deliver our cocktails and food.My only negative feedback about this restaurant was they did not provide complimentary chips and salsa. Guacamole and chips with a tiny serving of salsa was $11, which was overpriced in my opinion. The serving was relatively small in comparison to other Mexican restaurants that provide complimentary chips. This would be my go-to place for Mexican cuisine if they had free chips and salsa. For now, I would come here on the rare occasion when I crave a good margarita and some butt-kicking habanera sauce.

Nice return visit. Sergio is a great server. I love that the patio here is so pleasant, and it's a world away from the warehouse, noisy feel inside Sky Deck. I got the same delicious corn Mezcal cocktail I got last time, and I also tried the cauliflower taco for the first time. It was extremely delicious, despite what I had seen on here. The only problem is that it is not as hefty as the fish tacos. So if you're really hungry, two of the Baja fish tacos will more than fill you up, but two of the cauliflower tacos are like a little appetizer. Still, two fish tacos, one cauliflower taco, and a cocktail, and it was a delicious Saturday night that did not break the bank.

I've been here a few times and recently revisited as I had an opentable reward to use. They offer happy hour 3-6p Mon-Fri in all the dining area which was great. We decided to sit at the bar to watch the football game. The bartender was welcoming. We tried (for HH):HH red wine $7:- not sure the brand but it tasted fine . Was a decent pourSpicy Marg $8:- presentation was beautiful with a fresh watermelon slice and an orchid. It had a nice spicy kick to it as I think the tequila was infused with habaneroWagyu Sliders $12:- the patties were prepared well done and dry. The melted cheese was yummingly grilled so it had a nice sear. Buns were toasted nicely.Fish ceviche $5:- tiny little tostada serving. The spicy aioli complimented the citrusy fish. It's a small portion but tasted pretty goodGringa $10:- al pastor quesadilla came served with guacamole and creama. The portion was good for the price. I thought I tasted beans somewhere in dish but it doesn't show that on menu. The drizzled chili oil made the dish nicely spicy. There didn't seem to be much as al pastor but still a good dish if you're hungryPaloma $8:- I believe this is their grapefruit margarita. The powdered salted rim was bold. They make good drinks here.The restaurant got busier towards the end of HH so it was nice to see this place doing well. We'd come back for their taco tuesday deals ( two tacos for $10).

Blown away by Urbana! Not only is this place a total vibe, but they are serving absolutely delicious food & cocktails! Highly recommend the Muertos cocktail! One of the best spicy drinks I've ever had! And the spicy Al pastor taco was one of the best tacos I've ever had! So yeah, this place is pretty bomb! Another thing that made this place stand out, was the awesome service! Shout out to Jose! This location also has a dog friendly patio.

Made a weekday lunch reservation with a girlfriend, but it wasn't necessary as there was zero wait at opening. Loved the industrial vibe of the resto as well as the gorgeous murals.Portions are petite but tasty (just like us ;)! We shared a fresh Verde Mix (mixed greens, cucumber, pickled red onion, pepita, house made lemon vinaigrette) and flavorful Elote (Mexican street corn esquite with spicy aioli, chile con limon, cotija), and each ordered a couple tacos.I enjoyed the Arrachera Steak (guacamole, salsa roja, queso fresco) and Pork Belly (house pickled cucumber, chili oil, cilantro aioli), but found the latter to be a touch too greasy. I should've gone with Carnitas (habanero salsa, queso fresco, pickled onion) like my friend did!

Love the food here and our server Chase was awesome! The place was busy and he was working a lot of tables but he still managed to keep everything going! The outside seating is really nice when the weather is good! Try the quesadillas!!
