They have a few locations, and I recently visited the National City storefront... left just as satisfied. The tacos are definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. They press fresh corn tortillas right on the spot, the meat actually tastes like true asada, and the salsa/topping bar lets you customize your already amazing taco. Service is friendly, fast, and consistent. A go‑to spot when you want tacos that feel authentic.

Extremely disappointing customer service from Taquizas Los Chuchys…read more We booked them for our daughter's first birthday party, but unfortunately had to cancel at the last minute because our one year old became seriously ill with a highly contagious respiratory illness. Our doctor confirmed that others could have contracted it, including the catering staff. We made the responsible decision not to expose 50+ guests and their employees to a potentially serious illness. We understood that our ~$300 deposit was nonrefundable. We weren't asking for our money back, only whether it could be applied toward a future event. Despite the exceptional circumstances, the company refused to offer any flexibility whatsoever. What made the experience particularly disappointing was the customer service. Communication felt dismissive and discourteous from the beginning. Both my husband and I attempted to call, and I sent multiple messages explaining the situation. We were told someone would call us, but no one did. When we followed up, the manager, who later identified herself as an owner, stated that she would only communicate by email and that her decision was final. To make matters worse, despite confirming our cancellation, their taquero still showed up at our home on the day of the event. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies and expenses. However, I also believe that compassion, professionalism, and reasonable consideration of extraordinary circumstances are important parts of customer service, especially when you're paying premium prices. We chose to prioritize the health and safety of our daughter, our guests, and their employees, and ultimately lost ~$300 for doing so. Very disappointing experience, especially during what should have been a happy milestone for our family. We will not be using their services in the future.

I'm really glad we did because the food was so good that we actually came back two days in a row -- which should tell you a lot about how delicious it was. We tried a few different items, including several types of tostadas and their shrimp cocktail. Every single item we ordered was full of flavor and tasted fresh. If there's one thing I highly recommend, it's the Chula Vista Tostada -- that was easily one of my favorites. The service was good and the wait for the food wasn't long at all. We went once on Saturday and again on Sunday. The lines were pretty small when we arrived, but it definitely picked up afterward. To anyone reading this review, don't let the negative reviews stop you from trying this place. Sometimes the best way to know is to try it for yourself. Trust me when I say the seafood here is worth it -- you won't be disappointed.

So happy to have stumbled upon Manokan at the Chula Vista farmers market!!…read more Food was fire. Personal favorites were the spicy bbq wings (from their "staple" flavors) and the sinigang wings (from their "signature" flavors. We had a side of rice and a side of fries, both were great.

They've got something special going on for sure, looking forward to coming back and watching this business grow!!

Walk along the Embarcadero & get a freeze on a hot day, stop by Chilanga's (the best booth there) & get my huitlacoche on. Live music, shade, delicious vendors, right across from the water. I did have a little detour from Chilanga's - while I was waiting for my spouse to park, I sat at a shady table with a woman who was telling me about the poke truck (Island Mike's) & explaining that her coworker ran it as a side hustle, and that the poke was delicious because he had lived in Hawaii. I agonized a bit - get my Chilanga's huitlacoche huarache - or try the poke? I eventually decided: it's Mother's Day, you can have ALL the things, just like at a buffet! So I went to Island Mike's first. They advertised Broke Da Mouth poke - and I was a little suspicious at first - cuz Island Mike's didn't look like a Hawaii native but a mainlander who spent some time there. BUT... I got my poke "island style" (furikake, sushi rice, and the poke - not lots of distractions like seaweed salad or ginger like in the "mainland style") - and it really was off the hook. Really fresh & delicious and perfectly made. YUM & YUM. $12 for one scoop (the smaller size) & very worth it. Of course I still needed my Chilanga's so then I got the huitlacoche huarache (a vegetarian taste of heaven - shredded lettuce, huitlacoche, Mexican cheese on a huarache (masa dough) & tried the mango passion fruit agua fresca. The huarache is huge and I'd already had the little poke, so I took most of it home to eat later. But it was just as yummy as I remembered. And the agua fresca is amazing. I'll still crave Chilanga's but now I'll crave Island Mike's too. I need to get down here more often because it is a super fun outing that is too good to waste on tourists!

Visited in a Tues evening at the Otay Ranch Farmer's Market. There was indeed a long line but I took that as a good sign. Plus, good things come to those who wait, right? The menu is focused and reasonably priced: $8 for bowls and $10 for plates. The former includes rice and your choice of protein. The latter adds veggies and plantains. Credit cards are accepted. I opted for a classic jerk chicken plate. Super tasty and filling. The sides might've been ever better than the protein! Service was very friendly too. The owner was charismatic and treats you as if you've been friends for life. Overheard chatted with lots of regulars too. Great spot! Excited to return at a future farmer's market.

I've been looking for Tacos de Canasta this side of the border with little luck, but I've found the…read morenext best thing with Tacos Al Vapor which are a little lighter, a little more simple. Instead of oils, sauces, plastic lined baskets they are simply steamed. El Rey's tacos are on the smaller side, compared to street tacos, but with less filling, not overloaded, open with sauces. These are simply made and presented. Semi closed little packets of corn torilla and meat opened up and with lettuce, salsa added I generally eat a half dozen as a snack. Again I still prefer the offerings of tacos de canasta like green sauces, moles, chicharrones, potatoes. These are a regional specialty that most people haven't seen or made before so when comparing it to other types these often don't get a fair shake. These are simple, flavorful little bites that taste a little like moist tamales eaten without a fork, not how when you eat it off a plate and a fork. They offer a few different fillings that are standard as well as some seasonal ones. Get their red sauce.

However, service is typically made quick and easy by the efficiency of the staff. Staff are friendly and the vibe is lively! Today, we ordered the classic mini churros with lechera!
