I came to eat at Karina’s, and honestly, I don’t recommend this place if you’re looking for good food. The menu says the meat is Ribeye, but it didn’t look or taste like Ribeye to me. The guacamole tasted artificial, and the beans were too greasy and lacked flavor — I didn’t even finish them. I paid about $52 for one meal and one drink (plus tip), which is way too expensive for the quality. Prices keep going up, but the flavor and quality keep going down.

We left this restaurant very disappointed. Even with a reservation, our table was not ready when we arrived. Our server repeatedly got our drink order wrong, and when our meals finally came — a taco platter and rib eye steak — both were served cold. After sending them back, they were returned just as cold.
We also were not given plates or silverware, and one order for a single taco came out as a full platter. On top of that, the restaurant attempted to charge us $5 for salsa we couldn’t even enjoy because the tacos were cold. Communication was poor throughout the evening, and we even witnessed our server roll her eyes while another server had to translate our concerns to both her and the manager.
When it came time to resolve the bill, management argued with us over removing the cold food, incorrect order, and the salsa. Between the poor service, cold food, and unprofessional handling of the situation, this was an unacceptable experience. I would caution anyone considering dining here.

This place has fallen. The food is mediocre. Its not as good as it used to be. The steak was dry, the chicken was dry. They charge an arm and a leg for everything. I understand the economy sucks and the California government is horrible but make up for your prices with quality food. Also, make sure the drinks are full. All I drink is water so its not like im asking much to get a refill. They give you a baby cup full of ice and little water and expect you to down the dry food with that. Oh BTW, how is it that for two separate plates we have to share 3 corn tortillas? The molcajeta and the cielo mar tierra come with tortillas. How are you saying that its 3 per table?

Menu prices do not reflect the the bill at final cost. Food tasted great, although small portions. I Would not come back.

We come here for the happy hour and unfortunately they changed some items one in which was the bacon wrapped shrimp, now the charge 8$ for one. Food is like a hit and miss and today it was a miss. Ribeye tacos were cold and flavorless, the enchilado tacos were flavorless the shrimp tostadas was skimpy with minimal shrimp. For the prices they charge you would expect better. Now the service was minimal the waitress were at a table with man where they allow to be groped this hasn’t been the first time witnessing this. It’s pretty disgusting. I remember Karina’s being quality and better service.

The food was delicious and the servers were very kind and helpful. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, which were delicious! The tres leches cake wasn’t very milky tbh, but it was still pretty good. Overall great atmosphere and beautiful decor inside. I highly recommend coming for mexican seafood! I was very satisfied.

Nice ambiance, and decor, customer service is outstanding! This Mexican restaurant is large but very cozy in the dining area and bar. The food was good but different than what I usually would encounter at other Mexican restaurants. Very handicap friendly throughout, which made it enjoyable to my friend who uses a walking cart with a seat.

We always looked forward to a meal at Karina’s on Highland in National City. We hadn’t been in the area for a while and were Very Much looking forward to lunch when recently we found a vacant spot at the Highland location. We decided our second option was the location at Chula Vista/Bonita. Unfortunately we left incredibly disappointed with what once were
Favorite Meals coming in far below expectations.
Service was mediocre and literally no ambience beyond big screen tv. Plenty of options for us to explore… We feel glad about good memories of many excellent meals and celebrations at Karina’s on Highland.

We’ve been going to Karina’s since they had the location on Broadway (it’s closed down now). However, this is our first time back after not having it for about 7 years. After reading the reviews I was a little hesitant prior to our visit. I’m so thankful we had a good experience.
We arrived around 6 PM on a Friday evening. The restaurant was already bustling. We were seated immediately (I preferred to eat outdoors even though indoor was available). A heat lamp was immediately provided and the server was quick to greet us. Everything about our service was timely. We ordered right away, we received our drinks and entrées in a timely manner, our server checked on us multiple times and refilled our chips and salsa with no extra charge, and we wrapped up our bill in no time.
We ordered their signature green aguachiles de camarones and the bacon wrapped shrimp tacos with rice and beans. Everything tasted incredible. It was fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend both dishes. The amount of food seemed reasonable according to price.
I am so happy we weren’t disappointed. It was a great experience. ***Parking can be an issue when they are busy. We had to park in another lot.

Today’s dessert, FOOD POISONING
Everything tasted fresh, but I started feeling queasy about an hour later. I have been down bad, in the worst way, for the past 7 hours.
Also, service in the bar lounge area is small.
