La Sinaloense Restaurant

Restaurant Breakfast restaurant Mexican restaurant

👍 Had to try the restaurant since it had a 4.6, and in reality I'd give it a 4.5, if I could half star, but there was a few issues; The food was great, very authentic and tender, flavorful, very similar to food down in Mexico and it didn't give off Cheap "Mexican restaurant" vibes. My server; Adair... People often mention good, great, menu, service, nice, prices, portions, flavor, plates,

    Had to try the restaurant since it had a 4.6, and in reality I'd give it a 4.5, if I could half star, but there was a few issues; The food was great, very authentic and tender, flavorful, very similar to food down in Mexico and it didn't give off Cheap "Mexican restaurant" vibes. My server; Adair (which I'm assuming was his name since that's what my receipt said), was amazing, interactive and knowledgeable, making the experience worth it. My only issue was the Menu, genuinely. If you see the pictures, some items don't have prices (half the beverage menu doesn't have prices), the whole appetizer section did not have prices either, certain portions of the menu have decently detailed explanation on what the contents of the dish are, while others do not whatsoever. Same with calorie count (which doesn't bother me, but bothers some). The main issue with this is the fact that I had to ask the Waiter several times how much ________ was, and although he said the correct price, there could a confusion for another costumer and it would be an issue between them and the waiter/ waitress. All could have been avoided by simply adding the correct prices on the menu to begin with. (Additionaly the QR scanable menu on the table was scratched up/ illegible, yet another menu issue) I'd just like a menu that I can read and be like, oh this contains this, and it is this price. Aside from that, excellent service from staff, very quick and attentive. Bathroom was cleaned spotless, peaking into the kitchen looked very sanitary as well.

    Best service in San Diego... My wife and I have been to most of the best restaurants in town, and La Sinaloense beats them all. It was a pleasure being there from the minute we entered. The decor is fun and they have live music. Very soon after they seated us they brought us some sea food broth that was spectacular, that was a nice way to start lunch. We looked through the menu and noticed most of the food is sea food, which is a small problem for us, because my wife is vegetarian, but they had items that she could eat, plus they said they would cook anything she wants (amazing people). My wife ordered the vegetable omelet, and I ordered the beef fajitas. Her omelet couldn't have been better, moist and full of flavor. My Fajitas were perfect, nothing pretentious, just good home cooking. I was so happy with the food I said we needed some dessert. We decided on the Churro and icecream, it was beautiful when it came to our table, it looked like a flower, and it was a nice way to finish our meal. Everyone was very nice when we left the restaurant, we are looking forward to our next time there.

    Excellent food, imaginatively prepared with top notch ingredients. Has a great small town Mexico atmosphere. The waitstaff was friendly, efficient and professional. the seafood and the steaks were excellent and the portions very generous. Could not ask for a better experience. One caution, the calimari appetizers were disgusting, not even the dog wanted them. Everything else was out of this world good including the chips and salsa.

    If your looking for truly authentic Mexican food this is your place. Warning the portions are huge. Service is great. The tacos are very yummy. Chula Vista's best kept secret. You won't be disappointed.

    Great place!! I come here if I ever get work done at discount tire. I usually come for breakfast, and it’s always really good! I love to support local and small businesses. Especially when they have great food and service. The plates are served really well, and the prices are very affordable.

    Had a very nice breakfast experience. Went in around 920 AM Tuesday and had place to myself. The server quickly took my order of steak and eggs and plain cheese quesadilla. The complimentary chips and salsa kept me entertained while I waited for my food. It was a nice mild Red salsa that tasted fresh. The plate arrived and it was hot to the touch, a very nice detail as it kept my food warm. The cut of meat was well done, little grissle which was rendered smooth and the over medium eggs had buttery taste. Both plates had nice presentation and I'm sure the pictures of other reviews show how well this place serves meals. I wasn't able to finish the quesadilla, which was almost like a grilled cheese sandwich to the taste from the nice crust of cheese they put on it. I was given a to go container to pile up my leftover chips ( I was offered more when my food arrived ) and 1/2 order of quesadilla. Highly recommend, at the moment no alcohol was being served so keep that in consideration.

    Very disappointed, I really payed $160 for this lol. First thing that got me was the double charge of $46 and $47. Two orders that appear on the menu to be $25 and $26. I could pay that same price for something way better at crab hub.... the shrimp nuggest were raw, the shrimp was raw. For some reason my calamari is black and taste like sardines. It's like a real disappointment. At first it was going good but then after receiving the order and opening the food I was really really disappointed. Not worth it. That's the $46 plate... tf everything is so slimy on my plate Que p u t o asco de verdad, mi esposa esta bomitando y ami me duele la panza. En verdad voy a reportar a este restaurante por asta los frijoles saben rancios. Me caga que no agregen los precios. Y aprendan a escoger el nopal que esas babosadas dan asco. Tuve que tirar todo a la basura... DONT COME HERE!

    Food was great! The food had so much flavor and came out super fast. The waitress was sweet and helped me pick out what I should try. Disappointed they had alcohol on the menu but wasn’t actually serving any. A margarita would have been great with my meal!

    I had the Huevos Rancheros, and they were excellent. The beans and potatoes were also very good. Usually, there's something that is just ok. But not on this meal. 👍👍 BTW, BIG portions!!

    Best restaurant breakfast I can remember of recent. You can tell you put a lot of love into their craft. I don't live in the area but I will want to make the drive and come back for dinner. Very soulful. Nice jazz music as well. Very relaxed environment at 10:30am on a Wednesday. The severs son was bussing tables so I assume it's a family establishment.

    I love the variery of food, everything looks great and the flavors are great, portions are big, and are worth the prices! This time the only thing was the aguachile which did not have a lot of flavor but still good, service is helpful and quick. Well located, and nice vibes. ✨

    Food was fantastic, service was fantastic, only thing that made me do 4 stars instead of 5 was that the music was STUPENOUSLY...INCREDIBLY loud so I couldn't relax while eating cuz the music was screaming at me the whole time.

  • 4/5 Luis L. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was great. We ordered various plates, and it all tasted good. Raised on mariscos sinaloense, this was good but not quite what I am used to. The Pozole was my favorite.

  • 5/5 Ben F. 10 months ago on Google
    delicious food, huge servings, quick & helpful wait staff. we had a group of 16 of us, next to no spanish spoken, menu translated for us graciously unfortunately their liquor license had expired but they communicated this when booking and we didnt mind :) a great time!

  • 4/5 Hyonara J. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give a 5 star rating if the quality and taste of the food were consistent, but since it's not, I give it a 4 to 3 star. There's times the food is so good here and then other times is so bland and it high need of flavor.

  • 5/5 Jose C. 1 year ago on Google
    I stopped in for a quick bite & just wanted something light so I asked for seafood consomme (soup). It was so delicious & very filling for only a small cup. Presentation in an old school coffee/chocolate cup & a few lemons. It included bits of vegetables & even a small piece of fish. They have a HUGE menu of Mexican food & seafood (mariscos) so I plan to go back this weekend. Great omelettes too.

    Good enviroment and really good food..try the pineapple marisquiada

  • 5/5 Monica L C. 2 years ago on Google
    First time here and definitely will come back. I came thinking that it was a Sea mar food place but it is not . It has all type of plates besides a wide variety of sea food. I had a tostada of Octopus with chamoy that it was really good if you enjoy chamoy flavor. If you don't like it that much avoid because it's actually the chamoy flavor that it's enhanced and not the octopus. I also tried the Octopus quesadilla and it was really good, I'd recommend it as a plate to share because it's really big. It's definitely a good place to get good food and regular good drinks like beer or micheladas. The service is outstanding. I really recommend this place.
