50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Chula Vista

“Very well organized to the different section of the yummy foods you want to order😍congrats to the creative minds👏👏👏👏👏“

“Talavera Azul is the kind of neighborhood gem that wins you over the moment breakfast hits the table, their chilaquiles are genuinely delicious, the kind that stay crispy under the salsa just long enough to savor every bite, and the fresh orange juice is squeezed right from the fruit, something you almost never see anymore. Add a warm cup of café de olla with its cinnamon aroma, and you’ve got a morning that feels like home. What makes the experience even better is the atmosphere most customers greet the owners by first name, creating a sense of community that makes every visit feel personal and genuinely welcoming.“

“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.“

“I was in the area and wanted something kind of healthy, so I decided to order two tacos — one pescado a la plancha and one camarón a la plancha. I was a little bummed they messed up my order and gave me two pescado instead, but honestly, they were really good! I’m pretty picky when it comes to fish, but it had great flavor and wasn’t fishy at all. The salsas and chips were tasty too!

I also tried their jugo verde — I love green juice, but not everyone makes it how I like it. This place actually makes a really good one!

And staff were great too. Not mad at all but sad. I didn’t got to try the Camaron.“

“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.“

“El establecimiento esta muy limpio y fresco. La atención al cliente es excelente y te sientes muy consentido con el trato del personal. Super recomendado! la Comida riquísima!“

“everything is delicious..✌️🇲🇽🇺🇸“

“Muy sabroso y limpio lugar“

“As a native San Diegan that drives all over the county for work, I'm always on the hunt for something new and fresh. Although we have many Mexican Food places, its refreshing to find one that is great at everything. We all have the one we go to for Taco, soup, burritos and such but its wonderful to find a place with great prices and great everything.“

“Our go to spot for authentic delicious Mexican cuisine. Birria tacos and caldos always hit it the spot. Don’t get me started on the Raspados. Stop by give a shout to long time chef Alfredo & the Raspado mixologist Daniel“

“The breakfast tortas are SO GOOD. The bread was perfectly crispy, and the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and made some recommendations after I had worries about the slice levels due to my acid reflex.“

“Carne asada fries were great I was suprised by the large portion. At first I was suprised with price when I ordered them with guacamole Pico de gallo and sour cream and a soda but to be honest this is enough in one serving for 2 people so its definitely fair price“

“I placed an order for 2 California burritos. The burritos are a good size for the price and they are well made. I did ask for extra crispy fries and just like other places I go to they don’t really follow those instructions but other than that I have no complaints.“

“Good food friendly service“

“El mejor pollo todo riquísimo me encanta toda su comida y atención los mejores burritos de san diego“

“I would give this a solid 4.5. We've been coming here for a few years. My kids love it and we love it. We always get 2 of the 1lb meals because we have 3 hungry kids. The rice and and beans are my kids favorite with carnitas of course. This last time we went it they didn't taste the same. I don't know if we got the left overs of a batch or what. We usually ask for maciza because my kids are a bit picky. We're still going to go back because it could have been a fluke.“

“My family has been coming here for at least 25 years and it has never disappointed us. The carne asada burritos have the best marinade and they have the best rolled taquitos. It's a neighborhood staple and the family that owns it have always been so nice and kind.“

“Excellent service, yummy food, delicious drinks & and awesome atmosphere!!!“

“We love everything at Frutas the best Chan go and tortas in town 😍😍😍“

“Haven't had food from this joint since high school back in 2010, and OMG it was delicious. I got a customized csli to my liking and I have not 1 complaint. The meat was so juicy and flavorful. The fried were nice and crunchy and the red salsa was just perfect on spice. So glad its still as good as I remembered. I was this time too...will be visiting again soon:)“

“Great food, great customer service, specially great host.“

“You can wash your hands before you eat because there's a sink accessible from the lobby. The portions are enormous for the burritos. Service is friendly with a smile. Pricing is slightly above average but you're definitely getting value for the price, above average portion sizes so the pricing is actually fair.“

“Birria Ramon lord the best I’ve had yet and I’ve tried a lot of places 🥰💋“

“This is a very nice place. Friendly atmosphere great variety of choices, good service. I've gone twice this week and had a good experience both times. Tried the caldo de Rex and the breakfast mole. I can honestly say one of the best mole flavors I've had! We also had the Diablo shrimp which was also very tasty. The torta with chilaquiles is extremely good! It is a bit pricey here which would be my only complaint. But overall a good place to eat! A must try!“

“I want to give this restaurant a 5 star review but I'm not. There is a young lady that works there and has a horrible attitude/customer service. I've been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and they ate great. The food is delicious. But when she is working her shift she brings my experience down. Today I asked her if I had done something to offend her? Why is she so rude to me? I treat her with kindness and respect and she ALWAYS greets me with discomfort. Like I'm not welcome. She told me she's on her period. My response was that she must ALWAYS be on her period cause she's ALWAYS so rude to me. She didn't like my response and looked at me up and down and gave me a cold long silent stare down. And I expected that coming from her. She had to to he a family member cause she doesn't care about her job. So this msg is also to the owner. Teach her some kindness/customer service because she is giving your business a bad name as a representative.“

“The birria tacos here were absolutely delicious.. super fresh, flavorful, I really loved them and would definitely come back for the taste alone. The only downside is that I wish they were a bit more generously filled with meat. If they were more stuffed, this place would easily be a 10/10 for me!“

“Stopped in for some pastries and we were not disappointed!“

“¡Hoy decidí ir a burrito 🌯 factory y pedi uno de camarón 🍤 y arrachera tenia mucha hambre! Me atendieron rápido por el drive true. Rápido y muy fresco! Gracias Cacho y a su equipo por este lugar!“

“Me encantan los tacos y las micheladas“

“3rd time eating here is freaking delicious true home made cooking. Definitely will keep coming back 😋😋😋“

“great food but staff is rude AF if u dont speak Spanish“

“Buenas tardes yo se que estos grupos no son para estas cosas pero quiero compartir esto: Yo soy clienta de la tortilleria elice de playas y la verdad antes tenían buen servicio y te atendían de buen humor y los burritos tenían muy buen sabor ahora la muchacha güera que atiende siempre esta de mal humor haciendo sus caras y la verdad nose quien se encargue de los guisados pero hasta mis hijos me han dicho que ya no son los mismo de antes que no les gusta porque no tienen ni sabor si me gustaría que pusieran atención en su nuevo personal porque si tiene mala la imagen de la señorita que atiende en caja y no es nada rápida siempre esta bien lenta tarda mucho la verdad Nose si sea su primer trabajo o no tenga ganas de trabajar pero si no quiere trabajar hay mucha gente que si lo necesita y tiene muchas ganas de trabajar Sigo llendo ala tortilleria porque la verdad las tortillas están buenas pero el servicio no es el mismo la verdad orita no la recomiendo esa Tortilleria“
