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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Wow, the Taco Tuesday tacos here are amazing! I originally ordered for my wife and myself, but they were so good we had to get more to take home. The chicken is seasoned and marinated to perfection, and my wife absolutely loved the birria and carne asada. On top of the great food, the cashier was incredibly polite and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“

“La Sinaloense is a family owned restaurant that serves authentic cuisine from the Sinaloa region of Mexico.

I ordered the tostada del viejon for dinner. The presentation was stunning. It was a really great dish, it looked as good as it tasted. The dish was made up of the freshest ingredients and had lots of flavor.

I also had the jamaica. It was good. It was a nice complement to the meal.

A great place for really good, authentic Sinaloan food. This was done very well.“

“Very good food 🥘 very good service“

“Great little local place for breakfast! Craving a breakfast burrito and this place felt like a home cooked meal!
The tortillas are hand made and the food had flavor & tasted delicious. I ordered the mini chorizo burrito and my husband ordered the ham & egg.
If you’re looking for a deal, the mini burrito for $7 was perfect portion.

Only minus star is the place was really warm sitting inside. No fans or air flow. Felt stuffy while we ate. Good thing we scarfed down our food fast!“

“The food here is so amazing. Perfectly cooked fish to the rice! I can’t wait to come back and try more! The tortillas were perfection. We had the Diablo fish and shrimp tacos, carne asada nachos, and my 7 year old had the kids nuggets that were crispy! We will be back.“

“This place is great.. home cooking mom and pop taco stop.Dont expect 5 star seating. Only have maybe 5 tables but everything was really good.. tacos were good.. and they had steady in and out customers. Everything was fresh.. nothing frozen.. I would recommend this place to anyone.. parking can be a little bit of a problem.. in small strip mall.. will be coming back next time down in San diego.“

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

“Good food friendly service“

“This place phenomenal!!! Portions and food are amazing, they didn’t seemed bothered at all by any special requests i made. The business is completely family owned and locally ran, giving it a special “mom and pop” shop feel. The inside is small but very clean!! Cash only/zelle payments but they have an atm which is very convenient! Service is amazing!! Will definitely come back and cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Carnitas Las Michoacanas is a quick, no-frills spot that does exactly what it promises—great carnitas. The portions are generous, easily enough for two people, making it an excellent value.

They serve your meal with two generous squeeze bottles of salsa—one red and one green. Both are packed with flavor, complementing the carnitas perfectly without overwhelming them with heat.

If you're on your lunch break or just craving a great taco without the wait, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.“

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

“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.“

“Easily one of the best tacos de birria in San Diego County, and honestly it beats many locations down in Tijuana. It’s a small place, very friendly vibe, and the food is exceptional. The issue would be the language barrier if you don’t speak Spanish but honestly, so long as you articulate your order well-enough it’ll be enough.“

“Such a fun find. I loved the fresh fish and unique take on some of my favourite Mexican dishes. Everything was flavoured to perfection. If your a seafood lover it's the best! I even loved the soup such a great seafood flavour. We went when the Mexico soccer world games were on such a fun atmosphere for that game!“

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

I got eggs and chorizo and it tasted so homemade, perfect ratio of chorizo and eggs, the flour tortilla was delicious, my husband got the bistec ranchero and loved it too. I am looking forward to trying more of their food, super yummy! 10/10 burritos.“

Great place over all 10/10👍👍“

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

“The food here is fresh, delicious and feels like home cooking! We love to go here and have sampled many items. Most recently we had breakfast sopes- SO GOOD! Poblano cream chillaquillas and the chula omelet all very well received and devoured! It can get a little loud with happy customers but it is all good.If ylu have not been....you should go!!!“

“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!“

“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“
