“Came in on a busy Monday but only had to wait 10 mins! Never had been to this place before but was delighted by Sebastian who accommodated us well and who always was checking on us. The food was so good and loved the crepes at the end very yummy veryyyyy yummy!“
“We came in from las vegas and decided to try THE BALBOA SOUTH after hearing good things. We were not disappointed. The overall environment was clean, up beat, and family oriented. The centennial burger was massive and cooked medium the way I like it. The garlic fries, and salt and pepper fries were on point. The dark horse stout awesome!. Okay in done. Definitely will be going back before our trip is done.“
“Mmm...Cakes is amazing the cakes are to die for!!! A hidden gem in downtown Chula Vista. Luckily my real estate office is next door so I enjoy walking over and getting a delicious smoothie, pastry, and when I really want to indulge I get the delicious Bacon Danish YUM...The staff is extremely friendly as well and the decor is super cute! Much more than cakes. You'll love it.“
“I was having some work done at nearby Car Audio One, and I walked over to Empanada Spot to kill some time. The shopping center is small and quiet, and I wasn't sure what to expect - but I was very pleasantly surprised!The restaurant was very nice and well maintained or newly renovated. The Empanadas were delicious, as were the salsas (particularly the red Salsas). The Empanadas were a good size, but after initially ordering two I went back to order a third (and then talked myself into a fourth, LOL!).Overall would highly recommend Empanada Spot as a nice 'change of pace' from the normal fast casual dining spots; great food and friendly service made it a great experience.“
“Top notch! The lady there is so kind and the ingredients she uses to make the poke bowls was very fresh. Must be new but it’s amazing. Will be back!!!!On a side note, there’s actually a nice variety of other things there like açaí bowls and mango sorbet bowl. Will try over there.“
“Out again with my mother for brunch on this beautiful sunny day in san diego, the cajeta latte and iced coffee called my name. Place is cute and comfy with great customer service and the server was attentive and accommodated us very well. The hot cajeta latte was delicious accompanied by a small biscuit nice and creamy with a well balanced flavor. The chavo del 8 torta was also a big hit french fries nicely seasoned and crispy. We finished it off with a cajeta banana and strawberry crepe which was also delicious not too sweet and not too overpowering which was great as a dessert I will most definitely be coming back to try more from their menu.“
“One of my all time favorite restaurants in Chula Vista! The service is great, staff is friendly, food is reasonably priced and so delicious! Out of the two locations, this is the one to go to if you're looking for a more lively night. Everyone must try the buffalo gorganzola bites!“
“We're always looking for great Sunday brunch places. Adding this one to the list! Great mix of food choices with a modern fusion atmosphere. They also change the menu every 90 days which adds to the right of options each time you visit.“
“We lovveee this place!!!! I order the huge pizzas for Home Depot in Eastlake and these are our people they are so accommodating and warm! The customer service is amazing, they are always so excited when I walk in the door and it feels like so small town. I really enjoy this place and will continue to order from them! Thank you for everything!!! I absolutely recommend!“
“The service was cordial, and the atmosphere was OK. The restaurant smells more like a bar. We had the french toast, which really seemed to be bread dipped in whipped eggs and milk, and grilled in oil. It lacked sweetness and cinnamon. The eggs and bacon we ordered on the side were very good and fresh. Cracker Barrel does a better breakfast.“
“It was a great experience visiting Luna Grill. I was ordering for several people, to be dropped off at different locations, and they had no problem bagging things separately. The manager, Roman, worked with me closely to create a safe dish for allergies, including subbing out the pita bread for extra rice. We will definitely visit again!The restaurant was clean. There was a short wait in line when we visited around 2pm, but no line after that. Two of the drink options were out of order.“
“The BEST coffee on this street!! The staff is so friendly, the coffee actually tastes like coffee and isn't too sweet and the iced teas are so refreshing. They have vegan pastries and as a non-vegan I promise they taste so good. Plus it's a great spot to study or bring your laptop if you wfh.“
“Great coffee and drinks. The food is DELICIOUS! The English muffin sandwich is made from scratch (yes, the bread is house-made) and the Cubano sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu. The opening crew is usually 1-2 people and there can be a bit of a wait in line as they sort of struggle with the amount of people coming in (the same person taking orders is also making the drinks), but they’re incredibly polite and their service does not suffer at all. My new favorite early morning place.Parking: Plenty of free parking until 9am (metered) on Third Avenue. After 9am is when the parking starts to fill up and you may have trouble finding an open spot. There is more parking in the streets around the block.“
“We lovveee this place!!!! I order the huge pizzas for Home Depot in Eastlake and these are our people they are so accommodating and warm! The customer service is amazing, they are always so excited when I walk in the door and it feels like so small town. I really enjoy this place and will continue to order from them! Thank you for everything!!! I absolutely recommend!“
“Try outside of your comfort zone and you’ll realize all the food in this place is bomb. The owners are so nice and polite, if you have questions about the menu, they provide honest feedback/suggestions. Small space, but perfect for take out so you can enjoy back at home! Serving sizes is perfect in their containers and for the price in my honest opinion.“
“First time to this store. Warm welcome from the young gentleman. Strawberry cream Donut was delish!12-10-23:Excellent service every time at the Donut Bar! Nice variety of donuts to choose from. Tonight, we tried the Boston Crème Maple Bar, Chocolate Twix Donut and plain Old Fashioned.“
“I was in town for a little over a month, and Little Miss quicky became my local. Great staff, great beer, and great atmosphere. I could not recommend more highly. The other two breweries within walking distance don't hold a candle in comparison. I will definitely miss Little Miss!“
“Superb fish tacos with consomé broth. Fish was breaded but I could still taste the fish freshness. The chipotle sauce with red pickled onions complemented the taco flavor exquisitely. The restvof my party had birria and shrimp tacos and they were as pleased as me. I didn't get pictures of those though. Size wise, the tacos are good decent size. A bit bigger than average“
“Great location for our otay ranch community. Some of the food is outstanding. I've had a few dishes. A few of my favorites are the sisig bowl, waygu burger, Brussels and arugula melon salad. The rotating beer list is really good. I'm sure you'll find the beer you want. Since we only sit at the bar the service is always excellent. The parking is very weird you have to literally drive on what seems to be a sidewalk through the park to park in front. The ambiance is very open and airy. The music I thought the perfect level when you can hear it but also have a conversation. A bit busy on the weekends. It's worth it to give this spot a try. I am officially a regular since living just a few blocks away. It's now our favorite go to in the neighborhood can't wait til they get the actual liquor license to try some cocktails.“
“I just want service at bar and the Manager to return! I am sick and tired of the attitudes and lack of service with the current staff members. They ignore everybody and act as if they are doing me a favor to take my order and bring you drinks.I can chose to go anywhere so pls freaking hateful bar tenders!So I am not tipping them anymore. I want the manager to return because everything was amazing with him here. People actually cared and the service was amazing!“
“Business owners are kind & sociable. Drinks are good and while the surrounding area can be busy, it has a very peaceful atmosphere. Definitely a place where you can sit down & chat with friends or study & read without being bothered.“
“Been coming here for a few years now, the front staff is always friendly and attentive. My go to is the whole white chicken bowl With white rice, veggies and onions. It always comes out out fresh and tasty. The magic sauce is the bomb! Hats off and I'm glad they are nearby and not having to drive to mission valley“
“I am not going to lie but those Birria quesa-tacos and the consomé uff hit on the spot ???????????????? best birria!!! The service is perfect, they treat you really well, This my new to go spot when I am craving birria 10/10.Parking: Is next to a store so. He has a lot a parking. You will not struggle for parking“
“I have to give 5 big stars here! True Italian food here from the atmosphere to the food is wonderful. The food is fresh & hot and pasta's al dente. Servers speak Italian to big family here. Their so amazing and excellent from seating to bring out the house made bread hot to making sure everything is perfect on your meal. We've come here more than a few times and we have had excellent service every time The food is excellent it bring us back to Italy. We have made this favorite spot. And it close to home and we don't have pay for parking like downtown This family Resturant has been here since a long time here and they made it thru the pandemic A good friend told us about Italianissimo and glad she did too! Come bring a friend and have a good lunch they have inside and outside dinning when the weather is nice. Good wine too“
“Hidden health Cafe/Coffee bar on third avenue. They open at 5:30am Mon-Fri! Great way to start your day. They have a variety of smoothies/coffee flavors and treats. Staff is very nice. I wanted to tip on the pinpad..but could not? Cash only. I hope the owner changes it soon. Recomend coffee heads to try it out muscle heads! ? and every1 in between“
“The restaurant is clean and not loud at all. I can't be in loud crowded spaces and this place is so welcoming. The food was fresh and our orders came out quickly. The best roll was the salmon lover roll and the smoked salmon nigiri sushi. Definitely a must try“
“I will be coming back! The music was a vibe walking in. We enjoyed some coffee. The carne asada and eggs hit the spot. My wife enjoyed the green chilaquiles, and is excited to try the mole chilaquiles next time. We also got pancakes to share and I do not regret it! Everything was perfect. Amazing service and the food was made with love.“
“I Love this place! Been coming since 2019 and the girls are always so helpful and inviting. They are fast, friendly and have great customer service. Always on time with the hours.The shakes and teas are delicious, so many to chose from! I stop here daily.“
“Order your Monday special Brooklyn Pizza, 10 wings and three garlic knots. For 29.99. The pizza was pretty close to New York. I say acceptable. The wings were spicy hot and the garlic knots were exceptional. My suggestion would be have the wings sauce on the side. Would I go there again most definitely“
“Still one of the more solid breweries in Chula and Sand Diego area. Nice staff. Sad their flagship beers have taken a back seat. But, they still have a good variety of third party beers. Pizza is amazing (especially their "Sweat Heat").“
“Awesome spot with a Punk Rock theme. The beers and seltzers were amazing. Super clean inside and out.The only issue would be the lack of anything actually “punk” as they were playing hip hop.Yes we will go back next time we are in Chula Vista.“
“This is was really cool. Went there with wifey last Saturday. I come here every now and then since I live around the corner. The beer was great. I suggest war planes. The place seemed busier than usually. They had a DJ playing and he was taking request. They had a light show going and the music that was playing was just awesome. We had a really good time. I would recommend!“
“The adobada is out of this world! I work on third ave and I've tried nearly all options for food in the area. It gets busy here sometimes but the wait is worth it. Located in the middle of third ave you can take your food to any number of local bars, or enjoy people watching eating near the trailer. I mean business when I say these are consistently some of the best tacos I have ever tasted. The juiciness and sweet flavoring will get you hooked. My name is Anthony and I am addicted to this delicious family owned business.“
“This place is awesome! I was so excited to learn I loved only a few minutes from this place so whenever I’m craving Filipino foood I can just walk down the street and satisfy my craving! Definitely recommend any of their silogs and their lumpia. Their classic Halo Halo is pretty good also!“
“Every time I come here I'm treated like family. Very friendly people here, and the service is always good. I have never had any reason to complain. The employees are all really great people, I do actually consider all of them a legitimate friend. I highly recommend the Baja wrap with the "secret sauce" too. But be ye warned, it's a massive serving so you might take half home with ya or share it with a friend. You definitely get your money's worth in food, that's for sure. Also the quesadillas and the grilled cheese are also great go-to snacks to accompany a beer at the bar. This place is basically my daily watering hole. If I haven't been there in over a week it's because I'm not in town. I don't like loud crowded bars with loud music and all that, so this place is perfect! U can actually enjoy being there and hear the person you're talking to. PS: idk who this other "Seamus M" fellow is who left a negative review but that's definitely NOT me. I don't even golf haha.“
“Very flavorful dishes, excellent presentation, unique ambiance, and staff is extremely polite. I ordered the birriaquiles with low expectations thinking that this was not the right place to order them, and boy was I proven dead wrong.Would highly recommend, I'll have to try the rest of the menu, given the great overall first experience. Kudos to Jose, the waiter for his sense of humor!“
“Okay had not been in awhile it was the 2nd choice. Had a couple of adult beverages that were really tasty but the cocktail lacked the sophisticated flavor I was seeking and the beer cold and refreshing. The food was good full of flavor. The service was topnotch. From my perspective the only drawback was the style of music and the volume.“
“What a great spot! The ube ice cream was by far the best we've ever had! The shaved mango was so light and delicious! I highlyrecommend making a trip.You may wait a little bit for your stuff because they are understaffed, but it's well worth the wait!“
“I went here to get some bubble milk teaThe portions were large and the tea was really flavorful. The honey boba was chewy and sweet. I tried taro milk tea and got a jasmine milk tea to drink I'm the evening. Stored the jasmine in the fridge for a few hours and the boba held up against the tea and kept shape which was surprising.The service was really great and the person that made our drinks was polite and very efficient. The decor at this place was a little outdated, but there were a few places to sit. There is also outdoor seating in the shopping mall with pretty landscaping and shaded areas.Tapioca express was empty when we visited with no other customers. I guess people don't have bubble tea in the morning. ?♀️“
“The food here was by a torta truck. It was delicious! The service was amazing! The bartender was informative on flavors and guided my husband and I to pick our flights. The price was reasonable! Plus Thursday night is karaoke which was so much fun! Definitely recommend!“
“I’m not one to write reviews , but this place definitely deserved one . first taco place I go to where they actually give you pieces of fish in the consome (which is free you can ask for one upon arrival while you wait for your food) also found out they cook with purified water and not straight tap water . food was absolutely delicious will definitely be changing my old go to place to this one .“
“This is a nice restaurant, a bit pricey, in the shopping area just a few mins from Courtyard Marriott in upscale Los Condes area in Santiago. We stopped by on January 1st (holiday) so there weren't many choices available. Service was not too efficient but was friendly. Non-sugar lemonade was very good. Fried calamari was crispy and served hot but was a bit overcooked. Beef empanadas were a bit too heavy with too much onion; however, the cheese and shrimp empanadas were excellent, tasty with a nice cheese and shrimp filling and a very light flaky crust. Also ordered a king crab salad which was very good, with fresh crab pieces (wished for more) and very fresh avocado slices on a bed of lettuce. A bit pricey but overall good food and a nice place to eat lunch conveniently located within a few mins of Courtyard Marriott hotel.“
“Went there today, we ordered our chilaquiles: 1 red and 1 green... simply delicious, but I have to admit that the chipotle chilaquiles are my favorites! The service was quick, great and the conversation with our server was very pleasant. Before leaving, we also tried their flan, which was made to perfection, that we almost licked the plate!! Love that they keep the tables clean, even when these are outside in the common area. Yes, we will go back!“
“Aw bruh this place is ULTRA BOMB. It was a little confusing at first walking inside because its like a bar, sushi bar, and a taco place all in one. Wife variety of food here. Service was pretty fast and quality is pristine. And the welcoming vibe supplemented with music, tv, and decorations. They don't skimp on nothing. Good proportions too.“
“Baker here is such a hard worker! Stopped by late at night for a last minute pick up for the morning... it was around 11pm, and their selection was plenty! They have had mini donuts which I haven't seen Yum Yum carry before. This location has a pretty good selection and is more stocked than the Eastlake location. Will update after I eat some of the donuts in the morning!“
“The food here was by a torta truck. It was delicious! The service was amazing! The bartender was informative on flavors and guided my husband and I to pick our flights. The price was reasonable! Plus Thursday night is karaoke which was so much fun! Definitely recommend!“
“I would never have thought a brewery was the perfect place to take kids. They only serve birria type of food, but you're welcome to go next door and order from Lolita taco shop and bring your food over. The birria that was ordered was well liked. The place has some games and plenty of room inside and out for kids to run around“
“First time trying this place. Came in around 9:30am on a Friday morning and it was already quite busy. I ordered the divorced chilaquiles and added some chicken. The plate came with two eggs and beans. I also ordered a mazapán crepe and a caramel latte to wash it all down. I was highly satisfied with my breakfast. The waitress took out drink order very quickly and before we knew it our meal was out too! The place is fairly small and because the food is great it can get very busy and cause a wait time. There's also very limited parking so you might have to find street parking but other than that I was very happy with my order and will definitely be back to try more off their drink menu!“
“First time at this bar. The gentleman behind the bar had great customer service - very friendly and hospitable. I am assuming he was the owner because we were speaking about the renovation. It is currently a temporary beer service only due to the kitchen renovation. I am pretty sure that once done, it will be an even greater place to be. I was there for a friends birthday and we had a great time. It was karaoke night. We had a great time here. It's definitely a place to hang out and enjoy the music and time with friends! I will most likely return.“
“Their Adobada Mulas (pictured) make it hard for me to quit pork. ?My only weakness to eating pork is these Adobada Mulitas with everything on it. Squeeze extra lime and add that red sauce and you'll thank me later.This is the San Diego staple for late night Mexican food. I feel bad for tourists who come to San Diego and haven't had the chance to try Tacos El Gordo's tacos. It's a must!“
