Tasty Mandarin
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 We’ve tried different Chinese food places in Chula Vista and Otay Ranch and Tasty Mandarin is our favorite thus far. Some people might consider them pricey, but for the amount of food you get, I think their prices are reasonable. Typically we order 3 dishes and it will last through 3-4 meals. We pa...
