Smack'n Guamanian Grill - San Diego

What it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in the delicious food. Most of the items on the menu are gluten-free naturally, which was a real treat for me. I'll be back!

The food here is great and a good reminder of home. Always get their bbq ribs and multiple orders of empanadas. It is a bit pricey but still good when you crave that island food once in a while.

I really enjoyed the barbecue chicken here. The food was excellent and they give you a good amount for what you pay for.

Visited with a friend for a late lunch (around 3pm) on a Saturday and we wanted to get the BBQ Mix with all the different meats but they were out of ribs already. That was pretty disappointing, but we looked forward to the chicken and beef. The beef was flavored well but it was so incredibly tough which really was disappointing. The chicken was OK, a little overcooked and dry, but it was fine. The red rice was good though I felt like it could have used more seasoning, and we both felt like we couldn't done without the slaw (too acidic). We also added on chicken empanadas, spam musubis and a slice of the cassava cake. They heated up the cassave cake for us and it was a delight! The chicken empanadas were overly greasy and the insides were mushy, so we did not enjoy those. The musubi were OK, not much to write home about.

Love the food ownership are very friendly service oriented! Great place!
