    Birria Kings - A must try Ramen Birria!

    Good food spot located inside Chula Vista Brewery. Delicious birria, reasonable prices, and a…read morevariety of food options (Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, plates, fries, nachos, and ramen). They have daily specials Monday through Thursday, offer catering, and you have the option to dine in or to go. There is inside and outside seating available, the service is good, and the food always comes out fairly fast. The vibe is chill, given it is in a laid back brewery. I have ordered the tacos, quesatacos, ramen, fries and nachos. The birria is flavorful, juicy, and does not disappoint. The ramen and quesatacos are my favorite, especially when you go for the daily specials. Same portions/item, only $2 cheaper. My only complaint is their nachos and fries are kinda lame. The menu description says it comes with chips/fries, "nacho cheese", birria, cotija, and sour cream. I envisioned "nacho cheese" being the watery, melted, liquid cheddar cheese sauce that you typically get on nachos. Well, that is where I was wrong. The nacho cheese on their fries and nachos is actually shredded cheese. The fries/nachos have very little cheese sprinkled on top and it is not even melted. I find it hard to call them nachos with the sad amount of cheese used. My only recommendation is to change the verbiage from nacho cheese to shredded cheese if you're not going to change the cheese type, and add more cheese! Other than that, no issues.

    I'm disappointed they have gotten worse & worse every time I come Really loved them when they…read morefirst opened but today was the end. I don't think they know what an authentic quesa birria taco is. Birria tacos should always be double tortilla- every establishment knows this. I placed an online order for pick up & even though there was only one person in front of me, the cashier asked me to wait twice while she gave out orders that had just finished up. When she finally got to me, mine had been sitting somewhere else because she came back & handed it to me. The single tortillas were soggy & falling by the time I ate them. Cheese was minimal. I guess when you're inside a brewery you don't have to try very hard to impress this crowd. Drunk people eat almost anything. I recommend prieto's or negro durazo for better quality & better tasting birria tacos.

    Expensive (like almost all food trucks) but excellent food can be found here…read more You can almost never wrong with French fries topped with delicious meat, cheese, sauces and such. Lots of folks like the Shorty Fries (short rib on top) so we went with that. I think it's about $13 before tax. It's absolutely terrific. The short ribs were as tender as could be. The other ingredients (cheese, aioli, onion jam, etc.) were all terrific. It's about a million calories and I enjoyed very one of them. High quality comfort food and the portion was good-sized. I'm a fan.

    Remember the days when food trucks were considered "roach coaches" and the idea of going to one…read morewould make your skin crawl? I'm so glad those days are LONG gone! It's Burger Week in San Diego and this lovely mobile dining establishment is perfectly located for me to meet the bf for lunch. The featured burger is their Wake'N Bake'N (6oz beef patty topped with white cheddar, pork belly, sunny side up egg, butter leaf lettuce, tomato, onion jam, and secret sauce on a brioche bun) that usually goes for $13 but for this week, it's going for $6! (Add $4 for the fries and drink). This is a STEAL! A STEAL, I tell ya!!! One burger would have been enough to feed both me and the bf, but we gorged ourselves (each having one) and shared the fries and drink. The burger itself is well flavored. The pork belly is at least 1/2" thick, and the egg yolk makes this super rich. You see those Carl's Jr. commercials where they talk about big, messy burgers? Those are nothing compared to the messiness of this bad boy. "Monster" is right! (in a good way, of course!) I would probably request no special sauce if I ordered this again. Perhaps because of all the flavor of the burger, I didn't really taste much parm or truffle oil on the fries. Many of the patrons ordered loaded fries, which I bet are amazing! That would definitely be a meal in and of itself though. they don't skimp! There was a protest at UCSD today and the truck had to move locations. I found their number on FB and gave them a call to see if they were still planning on being on campus. They were kind enough to text me directions since I wasn't familiar with the hospital area in which they were at. I definitely appreciated that!

    I came here on a whim to get some coffee + get some work done since I was near this area already…read more As soon as I walked in, I noticed that everyone working here had a positive and welcoming vibe - which is HUGE for me. I really appreciate when employees at a spot actually care about their work, it says a lot about the ownership/management. I ordered an iced PSL and their Avo Toast. Both were absolutely fire. The drink didn't taste like it was loaded with sugar, which allows you to actually taste the coffee and notice the quality of the beans. The avo toast I had was drizzled with this chili oil they make in house and it was 10/10. I wish I lived closer to here, as I'd likely visit daily. If you're a genuine coffee lover, definitely give this place a shot.

    I had been hearing about this cute new coffee shop that's practically walking distance from me, so…read moreI was really excited to finally give it a try. Walking in, the space has those hometown, community vibes you would hope would make you feel comfortable and welcome. The shop is also surprisingly spacious for a coffee shop, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the experience itself was not what I expected. It wasn't a particularly busy morning, and there were at least four baristas behind the counter, yet my husband and I waited at least 20 minutes for our drinks. Our pastries came out fairly quickly, but that meant we had to eat them separately rather than enjoying them with our coffee. To make matters worse, my croissant tasted burnt. Yuck. When I finally heard my name called, I walked up to the counter and saw two drinks sitting there. Since neither was labeled, I politely asked the barista which drink was which. Instead of simply helping me, she responded, "I haven't made yours yet," with a pretty obvious attitude. It was an unnecessarily rude interaction and definitely didn't make me feel welcome. I went back to my seat and ended up waiting another five minutes for our drinks. And unfortunately, the coffee itself didn't make up for the wait. I ordered the salted maple latte, and my husband had the French vanilla latte. Both were mediocre at best and left us pretty underwhelmed. Overall, I really wanted to like this place, especially because of its cute atmosphere and convenient location. But between the long wait, burnt pastry, unfriendly service, and disappointing coffee, our first experience was not a good one. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
