It was New Orleans meet Halloween concept in there! Their tequila skinny Margaritas are delicious 😋. So, if you are going better have a DD.

Quesadilla was filled with flavorful pork. The queso dip with chorizo was honestly probably my favorite part of the meal. The tortilla bowl it came in was so flaky and yummy! This place has a wonderful atmosphere that works so well with the food being served there. My better half seemed to enjoy her food and beverage. The server was so nice and had so much attention to detail! He really did a great job helping us pack up our leftovers -- thank you so much!

such a fun little spot. The bartenders are absolute pros and bring the kind of energy that makes you want to stay for “just one more.” Food-wise, I was honestly impressed the street tacos are bomb.com and hit harder than you’d expect from a bar-forward spot. Drinks are strong, the vibe is high, and the whole place is colorful in that “this is where the party starts” kind of way. Whether you’re a San Diego local or just visiting, Baja Betty’s is worth a stop. The atmosphere is lively without being over the top, service is on point, and it’s the type of place that feels like it doesn’t take itself too seriously, in the best possible way. You’ll come for the margaritas, stay for the tacos, and leave already planning your next visit.

While back in SD visiting friends we all met up at Betty's for happy hour. When we lived here we would frequent Betty's all the time so we are familiar with their good food and service. Happy hour was great , we had tacos, fresh quac, and queso dip with chips. As always everything was good and as always the service was good. Great atmosphere for a great time. If you're in the area stop in.

A solid place for food and drinks. Nachos were good!!!! I got them with short rib, and they did not disappoint. Margarita was perfect. Not too sweet and syrupy like other places, they don't cheat you on the alcohol. The atmosphere has a good vibe, and the servers are lively and fun. Never leave with regrets when coming here. Great for large groups, but if you can, make a reservation.
