26 Best Mexican Restaurants in Chula Vista

“The food is delicious. Over $4 a taco but they do give you lots of meat and its all cooked right before your eyes. Also, the guacamole and handmade tortillas just take the taco to a whole new level. If you are looking for super friendly service, this might not be the place for you. The lines get long, so the workers are there to get the job done and serve the customers at a fast pace. You do have to go try it at least once.“

“Had the green sauce chicken Enchiladas... was exactly what I was looking for! Guaranteed authentic, I wasn't too sure about the beans, but the rest of the food made up for it. They sat a party of 8 for breakfast, which you'd want to get there early or else you'll be standing outside, yes even on a week day.“

“I'm giving it 4 stars because lately, the tortillas taste OLD. Before the tacos were soft, not chewy. The tostadas were breakable and crunchy. Lately, they are not that breakable and crunchy. The service is excellent!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have both low tables with removable chairs and pub tables with stools. For a wheelchair or walker with a seat, you can just remove a chain.“

“I wanted to try this spot but now I am worried if I take my wife and kids to this restaurant they could be assaulted in the bathroom by te owner and the staff will stand and smile. Plus multiple reports of failing food safety, yikes.“

“The tacos here are incredible — super fresh, packed with flavor, and served hot every time. The tortillas taste homemade, the meat is perfectly seasoned, and the salsa has just the right kick. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is fast and friendly. Easily one of the best taco spots around, I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant while watching YouTube travel guides for our upcoming trip to San Diego. We love unique dining experiences, so this seemed like our kind of eatery. The food & service was excellent. The owner checked on every table & takes pride in his restaurant which shows in the quality of the food. The head meat tacos were excellent! We also loved the consomè con carne soup.“

“Everything. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The drinks were so refreshing. The atmosphere was amazing !“

“My review is a bit late, but I haven't been to El Pollo Loco in probably 10+ years, why, I have no idea myself. But that day I went to the drive through with my mom. The customer service this girl had, was so professional and appreciated. I asked for her name afterwards because she did such a great job. Her name is STAR, I worked at a restaurant for about 4 years and this is the customer service I gave. I was impressed by her suggestions and the way my mom and I kept on getting convinced on adding more to our menu list even when we only came for 2 things, we ended up leaving with about 5 things. So STAR if you see this, girl keep doing what you are doing, even though there is a few in the world that can be, let's say unappreciated in their lives and take it out on the nice people, you keep working hard.“

“Their food is amazingly delicious!!! They have great customer service and place is clean. To bad they are only in San Diego 😞“

“Tucked in a corner known mostly to locals, Garcia's Mexican Food is a hidden gem I discovered through social media. It's small, with limited parking, offering both cozy indoor seating and take-out. Opting for the carne asada plate, I was quickly served by the friendly staff. The food, especially the carne asada, had a great flavor to it. The flour tortillas that came with my meal were also very tasty.Owned by a welcoming family, this place adds a personal touch to the dining experience. I'm looking forward to returning for breakfast. If you're after a spot that feels exclusive and serves great food, Garcia's is it.“

“The restaurant offered a balanced dining environment, where attention was placed on both the food and the service. Seating was available without much wait, and tables were maintained cleanly for new arrivals. The menu provided options across different categories, making it suitable for varied preferences. Food preparation times were reasonable, and dishes arrived warm. Drinks were replenished as needed, which showed attentiveness from the staff. The environment felt casual yet organized, which encouraged a comfortable dining pace. Overall, the experience was neither rushed nor delayed, and the restaurant delivered consistency that can appeal to a wide range of guests.“

“This was not only delicious with a huge menu of selections, but also very clean and accommodating. They brought out a beautiful spread for our menudo and everything was just rolled up so purposefully. We will definitely be back, huge portions and everything tasted great and fresh!“

“Conozco Casa Don Diego desde hace muchos años, mí esposo trabajo aquí cuando eran otros dueños, pero siempre ha mantenido lo auténtico en sus platillos, hoy su ambiente es aún más agradable, sus noches de Karaoke, su DJ, Moises Naranjo, es de lo más profesional, agradezco su atención, cordura y tolerancia cuando hay quienes demanda atención especial y con prepotencia y groserías pierde el control y educación. Pero estos son gajes del oficio. La comida y atención exquisitas. Ampliamente recomendado!!!“

“Very good food 🥘 very good service“

“Let me tell you, when you dine in, they really give you a generous portion—much more than what you’d get with a to-go tray. I highly recommend dining in to get the best value. I’ve been coming here since I was little, and the staff is always very friendly with no issues ever. I do miss the little sauce serving area they used to have, but I understand it was removed due to the pandemic.“

“Good food friendly service“

“What happened to your meats? They have no assortment, 11:30 am and there is only solid, leather and buche, and then tough meat (maybe left behind from yesterday) cold tortillas, the taco breaks, the sauces smell bad (rancid) I don't know how people give them 5 or 4 stars, how undemanding.“
