    It had been a while since we ate here. There was a time when we used to go about twice a month to have their good caldo de pollo and caldo de res (beef stew). My daughter was craving for a caldito de pollo with vegetables, so we went to the place we knew. The flavor was ok, it comes with a little cup of rice (ok) a little bit of onion and cilantro, 4 corn tortillas were not what us use to be and they were cold or a flower tortilla (cold and burned), and the guacamole (well, I really recommend not get it there). We were a little disappointed... We understand that as with everything COVID has affected everyone and all industries but what, in my opinion, shouldn't change is the attitude of the people that attend clients.. the lady who was at the cashier was pretty rude.. maybe it was a bad day for her, but maybe if there is a next time, we will just order to go. I hope they can fix some issues so they can become again a place that many people would like to enjoy and recommend.

    Their salsa station is a bit of a mess. I hope it's not always like this. Otherwise, the bistec ranchero is good. The portions are fair and everything tastes fresh. The only other criticism is to use the card, there's a $10 minimum, so they upsell you until you get there. Otherwise, it's cash to avoid it. For me, it's a minor inconvenience since it's my first time here and everything seems fresh and quick. In my case, I ordered chips on the side to make it to a total of $10.25 to dine in and have a cup of water with it.

  • 5/5 CC 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming here since I was a kid. I like coming here knowing exactly how it'll taste like, they've always been consistently very delicious ~ especially the pozole and menudo. This is a mom and pop I love supporting.

  • 4/5 Mario V. 1 year ago on Google
    This place offers a variety of Mexican food most of the dishes taste great, service and facilities can have a little bit of improvement. Overall it's a good eating option.

    My husband went to get some tortas and we where staving and when I took the first bite the guacamole was rotten taste was bad had to take the top off the bread to eat it one of the tomatoes looked old and mushy I had told my husband not to go there but he figured it get better other times burritos are bad also I can imagine if they put rotten avocado what else is bad will never go back too many times with bad food

  • 5/5 Elvira Ema A. 1 year ago on Google
    We love the food. My dad loves the Menudo.. fast service

  • 3/5 connie c. 2 years ago on Google
    Rilled tacos were good, the one carne asada taco was good Disappointed with a sign that say 3 different types of tacos for 6.99, the catch is they jave to all be the same. That sucks because when i go to a taci truck i get 1 of this 1 of that and so on. Then we asked for ceviche, which they didn't have either. So opted for the good old carne asada burrito. The food fo me was good over all nothing out of the ordinary.

    A well-established Taco shop in South Chula Vista near the highway 5. Soups are excellent. Carne asada is just average the best thing about this place is breakfast absolutely great to start the day 8/13/ 2023 just arrived for breakfast as usual on Sunday, What happened to their refried beans?! Absolutely no flavor. Maybe new cook?

  • 3/5 Alonso M. 11 months ago on Google
    They have a great variety of mexican dishes. Although I don't recommend "fish taco", other than that is good, Menudo taste a little bit sweet, Burritos are really good though. Cooks are always friendly and courteous, except for a cashier, she seems to be in a bad mood always, looks like she doesn't like her job.

  • 5/5 Frank M. 11 months ago on Google
    This place makes fresh menudo everyday. Which is awesome because most Mexican restaurants only make it on the weekend. I met some friends there and we all had Menudo. It was a good time and good food

  • 5/5 Maya M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a chill lil taco shop that never fails to satisfy us with its good quality and super tasty food. The menudo here is a favorite of mine. It's super bomb and there isn't that suspicious smell/taste lile they didn't wash the meat well enough. We'll always come back here for a good, home-cooked-feel meal.

  • 4/5 albert d. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best Mexican food shops in Chula Vista!! Really authentic great prices would recommend to try the menudo! Actually a must try!! Will get plenty of pictures next time it's so good I didnt get any pictures

  • 1/5 Elba A. 4 months ago on Google
    Went on Saturday morning for menudo take out. The large was mostly all juice/ no meat or hominy. Two orders and VERY disappointed. Not going back. Tortillas were also hard/ crunchy

  • 4/5 Nicholaus E. 4 months ago on Google
    Great food, a bit expensive for the portions but excellent quality and taste. Disappointed a refill on a fountain drink was $1.50 extra.

  • 3/5 Rob A. 4 months ago on Google
    It's been a hit and miss lately. Sometimes, their menudo tastes a little gamy. Others, it tastes perfect!

  • 3/5 Michelle B. 2 years ago on Google
    I got the shrimp fajitas it was very oily the beans were hard and the rice was ok. The horchata was delicious. Now this was my first time going I'm all about trying something else and giving them another chance but for what I got not impressed

  • 5/5 Shirley L. 2 years ago on Google
    Plazas was Great! I rate it at 4.7. Service and atmosphere is Amazing! I would definitely recommend all to visit when in San Diego, CA.

  • 3/5 Bootsy 2 years ago on Google
    They need to be more generous with their salsa and make it spicier

  • 4/5 Fernando R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fish soup. Fast service. Well the norm that is. Lots of parking. Outside tables. People can dine inside as well but because of Covid-19 sitting controlled and mask must be worn until seated and a minimum space of 6 feet away from others is a must. Rest rooms are closed at the moment. So I recommend using the facilities prior to dinning here.

  • 5/5 Aaron S. 2 years ago on Google
    Our favorite is our go to... Bean and cheese Burrito. French fries are great also. They are a good size and reasonably priced. We have been coming here for some 15 years. Call in orders is the way to go. ; - )

  • 5/5 Ruben c. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Elizabeth O. 2 years ago on Google
    Just go here for their menudo, for a hangover cure lol but it is a good serving size and delicious.

  • 4/5 E C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food taste home made, always good.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great selection of Mexican food very fair prices the only complaint I have is three doors to come in and out no screens no nothing so the flies come into but I'm going to call them myself and say you know what I've been coming to your place for more than 10 years ago get rid of a fly do something thank you

  • 4/5 Marcella B. 1 year ago on Google
    Those rosted chicken tacos were spicy but really good. Both my daughter and I enjoyed them. The caldo de res was a very healthy serving of both veggies and beef. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best menudo ever! Along with the rest of the menu. Caldo de res is awesome! Prices are pretty good and service is fast. Tables inside and out. 10/10

  • 1/5 Fred R. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst MENUDO I've ever had. Under cooked and they used the juice from the seafood soup. Absolutely gross. Me and my cousin tried to eat it but there was no way. When we got back home we tag teamed the toilet all day..

  • 5/5 Gary K. 2 years ago on Google
    ALWAYS a consistent Good meal. Ther soups are great. Love the Jamaica drink. Busy place, but they are fast.

    Stopped by today to have breakfast with my wife. I had the Huevos Rancheros and an Horchata drink. The huevos rancheros were great and cheap $5.50.

  • 1/5 exige637 2 years ago on Google
    carne asada burrito was small for 8 dollars and change the meat was flavorless the guacamole was blended with lettuce and it only just tasted like lettuce DO WHAT YOU WANT AND just be happy I'm just saying t('. ' t)

  • 3/5 Team C. 1 year ago on Google
    The menudo doesn't taste as it use to back 12 years ago, maybe they change kitchen staff 🤔

  • 5/5 Eddie S. 2 years ago on Google
