I think they knew the name of every customer that was in there, and the place was packed. It's located in the back of a office park, parking is a little tight, but I didn't have trouble finding a spot. It's cash only business so bring those dollars. Every sandwich there was made to order, looked amazing, tasted delicious and was reasonably priced. They had plenty of seating inside and some chairs outside. It was a really relaxed atmosphere and really felt like everyone knew each other. If I worked or lived closer, I would be here every day.

I…read morecouldn't find the energy to cook, so I decided to go where the food is good, healthy and affordable. I drove to Urbane Cafe. My favorite is a Baja bowl and the young cashier asked me, for here or to go? I said for here. She said "I've already selected it to-go but can you eat it here?" I said, can it please be for here? She cancelled the transaction and reordered it, so I assumed she had corrected it to have my meal in peace at the restaurant. My food arrives in a paper plate, with a lid, and bread in an aluminum foil. I'm from Ventura, CA. Urbane Cafe is my comfort food. I've been going here for years and it shocked me to know that I couldn't have my meal in a proper plate. Promptly, I called Armando over, the manager, and I asked him, "is there a cut-off time where customers cannot eat for here?" He answered, "no there isn't. Do you want me to make it for here?" I shook my head and I replied, "I already told the cashier, and it seems like she still chose to make my food to go. That's not okay" He apologizes and walks away. I wanted to brush it off until the family next to me gets their food. It's served, again, with paper plates but this time with no lids. I couldn't help, but ask the family and they confirmed that they also asked to have their meal for here. So I immediately recognize, this is a management problem. I walk to Armando, introduce myself, shake his hand, and I confront him and ask "I thought you said there was no cut off time for people to have their meals here, why are you serving paper plates to the guests?" He answered, it's because we are closing and so that the dishwasher doesn't have dishes to wash. I asked "is this a new protocol?" And Armando, said no it's just for tonight. To the general manager: when someone is having a bad day, people go where they know there will be at peace. The peace comes from the safety of knowing what you will expect. Because of the laziness, lack of leadership and poor work ethic at this store, it breaks the trust of those who rely on the high standards that Urbane Cafe has worked so hard to uphold. Since my food was already made to go, I was not welcomed to stay so I left. Might as well have to gone to The Habit next door.

Friendly staff. Affordable prices. Cons: the parking lot is a little sketchy so be careful where you park.

The last time I visited this business, it was still called Los Pollos Rotisserie and Cuban Bakery…read more That shows you how long it has been because House of Cuban Flavor has been the name for more than a few years now under the same ownership. It's located in one of the middle suites between an auto parts store and a supermarket in an Otay strip mall of Chula Vista. Parking was plentiful as there were way more spaces in the lot than customers even at peak hours. There were a few tables placed on the sidewalk in front of the suite, but no seating was available inside. The coffee making station was to the right when you walked in. To the left of the service counter were glass displays containing the baked goods and desserts. Four small menu boards hung behind the counter. From left to right, the category on each board was Sandwiches, Cuban Specialties, Plates & Combos, and Bowls. Several trays in the display case were empty during my afternoon visit. The cashier ensured me that nothing was sold out. Items that were not displayed still could be ordered and made fresh by the kitchen. The Cuban Specialties were broken down further into Stuffed Potato Balls, Empanadas, and Pastries. Each offering cost $2.45 regardless of its composition. That was disappointing because I have encountered similar bakeries in which there were similar choices for less than $2 apiece. My order started with one of each of the potato balls (meat, spicy chicken, jalapeno & cheese) including a variety that wasn't listed (spicy pork). These were fried and then placed inside a cardboard takeout container. Each of the four had a slightly different color and/or texture to distinguish them from each other. The size was slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The meat filling was my favorite because it had the least heat as the other three contained noticeable spiciness. I also bought a meat empanada, a guava pastry, and a mango & cheese pastry. The pastry dough was light and flaky. The portion size was less impressive for $2.45. I recall when some of these were sold for one dollar less so the value has decreased over time. The fruit flavor of the guava and mango respectively was sweet but not over the top. For this recent experience at House of Cuban Flavor, I gave a 3.5 star rating.

I loved that they had a pre-made sandos ready to grab and go, so we each grabbed our own boxes and a matcha. The box I had, included a shrimp sando, egg salad sando and a mango cream sando. I also ordered a large corn matcha, I am really into corn matchas. They also had, pork and chicken as an option for protein, an all fruit box and poke. They have hot food too, we'll definitely have to come back to try it. The shrimp sando was so good, super flavorful and whatever sauce they use I ended up using as a little dip for my egg sandwich. The fruit was really fresh, my mango still had a really good bite to it and it wasn't too sweet at all. My matcha, was delicious, I opted for the large because I was acting as tour guide. The matcha had good flavoring and the corn was not at all overpowering, perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be craving that matcha and whenever I'm in National city I'll definitely have to check them out. The service here was super friendly and the the restaurant was really inviting, would definitely recommend!

I literally told my sister "oooh a deli, I want a torta after" and then I headed into Bellus. As I was walking in the owner of this deli confronted me telling me not to park there and I let him know I had just been dropped off and wouldn't be taking up any of his parking and he continued "the car, the car" so persistently I had to just about yell at him that she left and we weren't parked there. Mind you his establishment was completely empty at the time. Not that it would be an excuse if we did park there( which I would never do). Throughout my entire appointment I was thinking about how crazy he came at me and when I decided to mention it to the esthetician student doing my facial she mentioned she had ordered some tostilocos from him the day prior that came with apple on them (unusual) and that the cueritos on them were mushy and when she asked for her money back on them he had an attitude about it, which I believe given what I saw from him today. On my way out I stopped to let him know that I was a potential customer and he totally deterred me from patronizing his business. Oh and shocker: his place was still empty when I told him this and it was lunchtime. Interesting.

There's a plethora of spots just like this one that share the Mexican Frutería niche but will attend you better and with less of a hassle. The prices are expensive and the service is mediocre. I've consistently waited awkwardly in line for minutes on end despite the fact that there is 3 employees in the back doing a whole lot of nothing and their penny pinching has just bugged me out because they still have the nerve to overcharge items and upcharge card processing fees all while screwing the consumer. Their business model isn't good and I try not to judge on first impressions but they've let me down on multiple different ocassions. This time, we went for some tostilocos after we had a sudden craving for them after eating at Tacos el Güero next door (Check their adobada 99¢ tacos!!) and were let down by their lackluster flavor as well as the lacking chacachacas. We paid 8 dollars, 160 god forsaken pesos for some wack tostilocos that weren't worth the time or money we spent on them. Not only that, but I went back to ask if they had chacachacas and the girl had the audacity to say they did but if I wanted some she'd have to charge me extra. Stingy ahhh ho keep your chacachacas, matter fact keep everything cause I'm never back to this place again. The food isn't particularly bad but the vibes and energy is off. I wish I could like this place but the employees and the policies just suck and it's the kind of small business that you really can't support.

Another reason I'm knocking off some points is because I asked the waitress for an extra side of rice and tortillas, but never received them. Service wasn't terrible, but definitely could've been more attentive. Also, just something to note: horchata does not come with free refills, and water is served as bottled water for an extra charge. One thing I will say is that this was one of the only restaurants not completely packed during the holiday weekend, which made getting seated easy. Overall, I'd probably give this place another chance because the food had potential, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Hoping they can redeem themselves next visit.
