Taqueria Revolucion

Reviewed By RGS_13

Staying at a hotel, I didn't feel like driving all over to find good dinner. Fortunately I lucked out, when just across the 805 I saw the sign for Taqueria Revolucion.This place definitely produces "revolutionary tacos". Besides having a display kitchen behind a large window, 5 cooks dressed in black uniforms, efficiently worked their stations prepping or assembling meals. The adobada (pork) and pollo asado (chicken) made wonderful tasty tacos.

El Pollo Loco

Reviewed By Alex G

My biggest beef with Pollo Locos is that they hire "English challenged" (I'm Mexican American so please don't assume) employees who never seem to understand the difference between corn and flower tortillas on the intercom. Here they do. That's the key differentiator. Love it here!

Aqui Es Texcoco

Aqui Es Texcoco serves traditional Mexican lamb barbecue, styled after a unique Barbacoa dish served in the Texcoco reign of Mexico. Our Barbacoa, served here in Chula Vista, is the closest to traditional lamb barbecue you'll get in the US! Aqui es Texcoc

This restaurant has authentic food from a particular region of Mexico. The food is delicious. Some non-natives may not be at home with every dish, but anyone can find many familiar tasty items. I only wish more dishes came with rice and beans included.

Quality not good meaning the crab claw app was freezer burnt. Asada tacos meat cold steak on the combo 3 was tuff. And the grilled octopus also was freezer burnt . It looked like sponge and tasted the same. You would think the waitress would wonder why no one is eating much and ask. And waitress did not come by to check either we had to chase her down to pay.

We went here Sunday afternoon for lunch and it is a great place to get high quality Mexican food and is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and courteous. The chefs are skilled and love what they do because that is the only way food can taste that good. Definitely a keeper in my book.

Talavera Azul

Reviewed By Sean T

I love this place. It has some stereotypical things like burritos and tacos but offers many other unique options. I've visited this place 4-5 times and haven't had a bad experience. They introduced me to Cafe de Oyo. Which is the most delicious coffee ever. I could drink it all day. There is a typical wait of 20 minutes unless you go on a Sunday morning. Then expect to wait between 40-60 minutes. Whenever you visit just be awhere that your wait is well worth it. If you want delicious breakfast or lunch and are anywhere near Chula Vista, Ca, you need to go to Telavera Azul.

El Patio

Reviewed By kd_sachi

I've been coming to El Patio since I was a child. My parents have also been coming to El Patio since they were in high school. This is an old school Mexican restaurant. There has been some ownership changes throughout the decades my family has eaten there and the quality and taste of food has fluctuated but whoever owns it now has it back on point. I love this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Their spicy carrots and chips and salsa are fantastic and I have never had a bad meal here. Their specialty sopas on the weekends are the best.Be sure to get anything covered in cheese sauce! I would eat my own flip flop if it was covered in El Patio's cheese sauce!

Miguel's Cocina

Reviewed By Joe L

This is a very nice restaurant with comfortable decor and good service.They feature Mexican food that is very tasty and the portion sizes are adequate but not large. I would go there every other week except the prices are very high for Mexican food. It will cost you$12 to$15, or more, for just a burrito or enchiladas, and the alcoholic drinks are on the high side in the area. Due to the prices it is on my list for special occasions, so I will only be going a couple times a year.

La Quinta Grill

Reviewed By tizzysue

La Quinta is not your typical fast food Mexican eatery. Its menu offers a broad selection of appetizers, entrees and drinks in a more upscale setting. We enjoyed the complimentary chips with two kinds of salsa (hot and very hot) along with our orders of enchiladas with red sauce, chicken tacos, and beef tacos. (On a previous visit with had chimichangas and burritos). The servings are plentiful and everything is delicious. Be prepared to wait a bit longer for your entrees as everything is freshly prepared. The restaurant is easy to find. Take I-5 to the E Street exit and then go west about three blocks.

Tacos El Gordo De Tijuana

Reviewed By Lisa K

We were staying at the hotel across the street and decided to check it out. If you’ve never been there, it’s slightly confusing. Basically get in one of four lines depending on the type of meat you want. Your food is made right in front of you and very fresh. The meat is cooked over charcoal and is very flavorful. We ordered a variety of four different tacos, then went back for a half order of Carne Asada fries. Everything was tasty and made quickly. I’m sure we’ll walk across the street to eat here again before we head home!
