We ordered Tortas for dinner and the bread was super burned and hard. We called and were told to go back, we did and the short, chubbier lady was super rude and said it's not burned it's toasted. I then said no it's burned and she told to calm down. New Tortas were made and nothing else was offered for our time and trouble. Bye Felicia won't be coming back here again.

Great local business in a shopping plaza off the 805. Plenty of parking. Seems to be a hit with locals, both walk ins and phone orders. My friend got the Chango Mango, which came in a massive portion and was almost like a sweet icee. I opted for a turkey torta. So good! Crunchy, warm bread. Filled with lettuce, jalapeño, and spicy sauce. Generous turkey and cheese. Loved it. Service was organized, friendly, and prompt. Great spot!

Torta de lomo
Justine H.

If I'm looking for a good torta I always support my local fruterías. Chango mango is my favorite place close to home with the best people behind the counter. Their torta de lomo (add queso de panela of course) is my order every time and you really get the best bang for your buck with how much they stuff their tortas. I also love how they make it the perfect level of spicy (in my opinion) and I wash it down with one of their freshly made aguas or licuados. Everything comes out fast, delicious, and consistent and I'll come back every time.

Great food stand/ bar in Chula Vista. Fresh fruits and vegetables. The agua fresca pineapple, cucumber lemon and watermelon are delicious. Delicious fruit salad fresh, crispy fruits. Reasonable priced. Average portion

UBE Açaí Bowl with granola, frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries and half a banana, coconut shreds and honey as topping
Betty A.

This little spot reminds me of "La Michoacana" to a certain extent with the items that they offer. I was instantly greeted and ordered an UBE Açaí bowl and although it was great the "UBE" portion was pre frozen and packaged in the container that they then added the fresh and frozen fruits to and had to wait for it to thaw it before eating it.

Veggie Torta with Panela
Charlotte C.

These tortas are massive, and very tasty. We had an Obesa and a veggie with panela. Great flavor, lots of filling. Nice people. We didn't eat there, but if you are at the hotel next door, this is awesome.

Açaí bowl

Very nice staff and the açaí bowl is tasty! Will come back to try other bowls! They also have tortas and street food

Chamango
Maridel A.

I've gone to quite a few places for chamango and this is the best chamango I've had. The mango is sweet with the perfect amount of chamango. Glad I was in the area, this is my new go to spot,

Visit July 2026…read more Ironically I was in NYC last week and ate at a deli there. That visit was a so-so experience and made me miss Beyer Deli so ta-dah! Still incredibly huge sandwiches. Hefty enough that half will fill me and I'm fat. The torta bread is the way to go for your sandwiches and yeah I know it's not a NYC thing but ewwww I had stale white bread with my NYC meal. I don't get here often but it looks like the menu has expanded with smoothies, pasta, and iced coffees. Still incredibly amazing prices (seriously the price for a pastrami sandwich at the NYC deli was twice the price here). Still the MOST INCREDIBLE AMAZING WELCOMING service you will ever experience. Dina, the owner who runs the front, makes you feel like you've pulled up a chair at her own kitchen. Loves to talk and gets to know you. I'm always a fan of seeing a restaurant acknowledge their regulars it just makes such a positive vibe and Dina welcomes them by name so tells you how often they frequent. Still located in a tiny business mall and if it weren't for the red on the sign you might miss it. Still cash only. Still the safest place on the planet as it is frequented by every form of law enforcement possible from BP, SDPD, CVPD, to the MIB (seeing if you're still with me). Its great that they support and receive support from first responders. If you want a satisfying deli experience stop by. I suggest....well everything.

Delicious sandwiches and great price! Very generous portions and everything tastes fresh…read more You gotta try their New Yorker- one of the best pastrami sandwiches in San Diego. Hot and delicious is one of the best turkey sandwiches we've had. Definitely recommend! Lots of parking in the plaza. Cash only! Family owned and very kind people.

Ropa Vieja: shredded braised beef with peppers onions and tomato- the seasoning is uniquely Cuban and fantastic- a comfort food favorite! The plate comes with a side salad and maduros- caramelized fried ripe bananas and white rice and black beans- generous portions of everything. 2. Arroz con pollo: chicken and rice exists in almost every culture, but the Cuban version is the one I would choose first any day. This was the boys fav. The dinner plate also comes with maduros and salad. 3. Papas rellenas- "potato balls" on the menu- stuffed mashed potato spheres with seasoned ground beef then lightly breaded and deep fried for a perfect crispy coat- excellent! They have 3 varieties and we tried the spicy chicken and the ground beef- both were delicious! 4. Croquetas: deep fried breaded ground ham rolls. Decadent and perfectly crispy outside and velvety inside. These were my hardest craving when I was pregnant. Love them! 5. Guava pastries- sweet with a little hint of tartness- wrapped in puff pastry. It was too late in the day for me to order coffee but I will have to make a cup of Bustelo tomorrow morning to go with these. We were too full to eat them today! 6. Iron Beer: our fav soda! Even sweeter than coke- shocking, lol! I also tried the kola champagna- a Puerto Rican staple but imo, IronBeer wins. I would buy them for the boys a couple times a year whenever I stumbled upon a Caribbean market that stocked them and they've been fans for life. We loved our meal and service was excellent but just know it's an informal cafe and they mostly serve food to go. So not much atmosphere in this worn strip mall. There are 3 small cafe style tables but you will need to order at the counter. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

I've driven past this coffee shop for years and finally decided to try it. The inside was decorated…read morecute with a rustic, desert vibe. There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender. It was an average matcha, nothing too special. Maybe I should have chosen a different add-in flavor. They made my drink within minutes so service was great! I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space

Today (10/24/24) I had a facial appointment at Bellus Academy, and had never been there before. My…read moresister was dropping me off and briefly pulled into a spot for this deli to let me out because it didn't appear that there was a way out of the parking lot in the back. 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.

Very delicious pesto chicken torta. They have smoothies, fruit bowls, salsas, sandwiches (bread or…read moretortas). They have some chips and candy bars as well. Nice man that works here. Very accommodating. Call and order ahead. The parking lot is a bit congested as it shares the lot with the beauty school.

10/10!!! I understand the hype now! I wish I would have made it out earlier !…read more I am obsessed with the banana latte 20/10, as well as the Reuben sandwich with no Sauerkraut. The times I've visited I try to visit early and the wait for the line is on average 15 minutes . I also love their conchas! There's plenty of small tables and the vibe is relaxing! Highly recommend! The only thing is parking , street parking with meters.

I loved the vibe !!!…read more Small and intimate and love how there was outdoor seating to the side. Parking was scarce, definitely street parking or at the KFC across the street. The Banana Crème Brulee Matcha was very very good and the taste was beyond expected (definitely would come back) the dirty vanilla chai was great as well. I loved the Tomago Toast, and loved how it was decorated, loved the radish the truffle seasoning and olive oil added) and my cousin had the breakfast sandwich but he took off the pork sausage and the chorizo aioli. Would be great if they can have turkey or chicken sausage option but I understand if they can't. The service was decent the guy at the counter was very nice, however, there was a young lady who seemed up tight and rude after I had asked for hot sauce. I went back to get napkins 10 mins later and she was doing palo santo which through me off and when I went to sit back down I overheard people at the tables talking about the strong smell.... So I would caution... but other than that very pleased was recommended this by a good friend who lives in Chula Vista.
