Urbana nails it every single time we dine at this restaurant. The MOLE is THE BEST in California, seriously! Actually, ALL the sauces are incredibly flavorful and enjoyable, and the fact that different protein choices for the enchiladas are now available, we are just going to have to come back and try every one of them. It was great to see so many customers tonight, choosing to come to Urbana, laughing, drinking, eating and having a great time, probably because the restaurant staff efficiently took care of everything. Our server, JES, never rushed us, but always made sure we had what we needed without asking. That's a true skill lacking in so many other restaurants. If you haven't been to Urbana yet, or are just "thinking" about going, just GO!! Make a reservation and relax with a couple of cadillac margaritas and a bowl of chips and guacamole, like we did. Then move on to as much food as you can enjoy and know that you will be transported to a time and a place where the kind of Mexican cuisine you will fork into your mouth will be of the caliber that would make any abuela proud. Todo es muy delicioso!!

A local SD friend mentioned Urbana to me. Wow! This is my officially my new Favorite Mexican restaurant! From the freshly made guacamole a chips and tacos to the Mole Enchiladas, this place was delicious! Not only is the food delicious, the cocktails were amazing! I am craving the Mezcal Margarita with Tamarindo! Yum! Plus, it was dog-friendly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Looking forward to returning!

Been there a few times. Not sure if we will again. The house margarita is good. Lots of ice, though. The tacos were OK. The side of Rice & Beans was $8 but the portions were small and the rice not very good. Are they subject to tariffs? Service was EXTREMELY Sloooooow. Our server did not even acknowledge our comment about the rice. They did not have a few menu items when we asked (IPA beer and oysters. The best part of the food was the Poke Tower.

I’ve never left behind a bowl of guacamole but theirs was mostly tomatoes and had zero lime, salt or pepper. You really need to be competitive if you are serving Mexican food in the SD area. And, there was no one at are table “wowed” by anything ordered. Sadly, not impressed.

This restaurant can get very, very cold because of the open window at the bar area. The kind and amiable bartender eventually closed the window roll-up and our experience got a whole lot better. Although our food was delicious and our drinks very refreshing, we did have to wait a long time to get our check as well.

They charge for chips and salsa which is disappointing. Most food was ok at best. A few dishes were really enjoyed such as the guacamole, and the fish taco. The queso birria was good, but the value wasn’t great for the price.

I made reservations for two on Valentine’s Day evening. We started at the bar then moved to our table, which was unfortunately directly next to the kitchen door. While the table was setup, we waited about 15 minutes and had to ask for service. We ordered ceviche and then waited again, no service. The restaurant was busy but everyone seemed to be getting service but us. It was very disorganized and while the food was alright, I wouldn’t go back. They apologized, but service never changed.
