My permanent date, who has been to Jamaica and pronounced her jerk chicken absolutely authentic. I, who hasn't been to Jamaica, was delighted with the oxtails. As I was working with a plastic fork, there was a bit of using my fingers to pick the meat off the bones, which was completely worth it. She had to caution me to pause, as the quantity of rice and beans is more than any single person should eat in one sitting. Survey. Helpful hint: get a small if you don't want leftovers, but the large will make for a nice lunch the next day. Also, this place gets five stars despite not having sodas on tap. The joint is too small for that amenity, but they do have some Jamaican sodas in a fridge which looked delightful.

The only downside was the carne asada--it was overcooked, which kept the carne asada fries from being a home run. If the meat had been more tender, this dish would have been excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Asada burrito which I shared with the hungry company I was with. They also ordered the taco and they gave it two thumbs up . Two tacos was filling enough! The asada burrito was heavy and amazingly delicious! Abraham served us and he told us they only opened six months ago. This is his mom's business. Make sure you replenish your calories at this small, cozy and authentic Michoacán restaurant after hours of shopping at San Ysidro! Thank me later

We also got the spicy mango ceviche, which was super refreshing and the perfect balance with the pizza. Definitely recommend both! Service was friendly and good. The only downside was that it got a little stuffy and hot inside because everyone and their mama was out for brunch but honestly, I get it because the vibe was there. I also heard Friday and Saturday nights are POPPIN' and it basically turns into a nightclub I definitely wanna come back at night to see the scene for myself. Brunch was a vibe, food was yummy, music was hitting -- I'll be back!

We were told they were already booked with reservations, even though we could see quite a few empty tables/seats inside. What made the situation even more frustrating was that a couple who arrived immediately before us was accepted as a walk-in. However, shortly after, the male host turned us away and told us they don't accept walk-ins and that reservations are prioritized. We completely understand prioritizing reservations, but the inconsistency was disappointing, especially when we had just watched another walk-in party get seated. If walk-ins aren't accepted, it would be helpful to have that policy clearly communicated upfront so guests know what to expect. Also, if you're visiting with a baby or stroller, be aware that the restaurant is not particularly stroller-friendly. We had to carry our stroller up the stairs, which was difficult and inconvenient, especially with a baby. Overall, the experience left us disappointed before we even had the opportunity to try the food. We were really looking forward to having breakfast here, but the way the situation was handled made us feel unwelcome. Hopefully the restaurant can improve its communication regarding reservations and walk-ins, as well as accessibility for families with young children.

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 came here because of the two Yelp reviews, so I was a little hesitant…read more We were seated right away and our server was pretty good and attentive. This is not your high end seafood place. This place is very efficient and the food came out very quickly. **Dont ask for straws because they did away with it to protect the environment. Pretty cool. They said they will eventually get rid of styrofoam too. They do not sell alcohol here. Seafood and beer goes well together but not here. (Sad emoji) We ordered the aguachiles which was very good, a ceviche tostada with fish and shrimp which was ok, and a seafood platter which was pretty good. There are better places but if you want a quick fix, this is your place to go. You will be seated under a patio setting so if the weather is nice, then you will be fine. If the weather is hot, you will feel it. Another thing that bothered me was the flies. You have to constantly shoo them away. I came to try it but I personally wont be back.

Everything is flavorful and satisfying, and I usually order it to go. The only downside is the price. It's always been on the expensive side, but seeing one oxtail plate go up to $31 (+tax) makes it hard to justify coming here as often as I used to. The quality is still there, but the higher price means it'll probably be more of once a year meal. One thing to be aware of is that there's a surcharge even when paying with a debit card. Legally you're not supposed to add a charge when using debit card but I paid it anyways. It was an unexpected charge that other customers may want to know about. Ambience was okay. Service was nice. Overall, the food is delicious and worth trying, but between the rising prices and the added card surcharge, I'll likely be visiting once in a blue moon.
