    California Burrito
    Shawn M.

    We tried: * Asada Quesadilla * Asada Fries * Chilaquiles * California Burrito * Rolled Tacos The portions are generous, and the food is good. It's easy to see why they have a nearly perfect 4.9 rating every dish is consistently good. The restaurant has a bar with taps, and the place is relaxed. The staff are friendly, and the food is worth the visit. Look it takes a lot to get me to review a Mexican food restaurant and these guys deserve it.

    Macha Breakfast Plate
    Jack M.

    I enjoyed a great breakfast plate of Machaca from this Mexican eatery in Casa de Oro, located in Spring Valley. It use to be La Baja Mexican Grill, and has been rebranded as "Los Mexas." The machaca breakfast plate came with rice, beans, and four corn tortillas for $11.99 plus tax. It was a large portion of machaca and it was very tasty. The stewed shredded beef was well seasoned. The eggs were scrambled into the beef and I could not help my self to making breakfast tacos. I tried a trio of hot sauces and they were all very good. I liked the dark red one the best It had good heat and favor. The rice and beans were good, too but were more subtle in flavor. The beans were light in seasoning and the rice was just right. The service was good. It was a one man team when I came in the morning, but the young man made it work. He was friendly, efficient, and check on me to make sure I enjoyed the food. The place offers a bar as well with plenty of inside seating, but no outside seating.

    Ordered the machaca breakfast burrito and it was delicious! I love coming here for their burritos. I found this place randomly and i'm so glad I decided to give it a try. My boyfriend had their machaca burrito as well and he enjoyed it along with their salsa selections. I also tried something new on my most recent visit which was the menudo soup. I loved the meat, but the soup wasn't so flavorful in my opinion. The restaurant is spacious and always plenty of seating when i've come by. The service could be a little better in terms of being more welcoming as you walk in though. Overall, great breakfast burrito joint!

    adobada tacos
    Shaianne P.

    When I came in during a weekday, I will admit, it was empty. However, ordering was so simple and very quick! They have a nice open bar on the left side when you walk in, which looks like it would be completely full when there's a game on! I was pleasantly happy when I talked with the guy at the front because when I picked up my food, he asked if it was my first time there. I confirmed and had said that I heard great things about this place - which was true, especially just by looking at the reviews! Because of this, the cashier gave me one of the desserts as complimentary! It was delicious - almost like a churro but in chip form! I ordered the adobada and birria tacos as well as the cheese quesadilla! The adobada tacos were pretty good - I've been trying to find something similar to the ones at tacos el gordo, and can say that they're a bit similar especially with the sauce it has on top. Birria tacos were pretty good according to my dad - they were very filling and the birria sauce to dip the tacos in was pretty flavorful! Cheese quesadilla was just as simple as they can be, nothing really to rave for with this one. Overall, I would come back and maybe try some of the other popular items I see on this page! :)

    Fish taco
    Shirley K.

    The fish taco was amazing. Very delicious and fresh tasting from the sauce and the cabbage. The fish had a nice crunch and neutral taste. I enjoyed the flavor of the 3 fresh house salsas. The green one was savory, the red was a savory spicy, and the orange one for an acidic spice. We also got the adobada burrito. It was huge for just $11.99! Meat, guacamole, onions, (and cilantro). No extra fillers. The adobada was nicely charred and sweet. It reminded me a bit of char siu compared to other places I've had adobada. We only interacted with our cashier during our time there, and he was friendly and helpful. The dining area and restroom were both very clean and there are a lot of open tables for seating. The prices here are great and you get a lot in return. The taco is $4.99 on regular days, but only $1.50 on Tuesdays. I'll be coming back to take advantage of that and trying more of their meats.

    Adobada Tacos
    Aaron E.

    If you like tacos, come here period exclamation point period. Had a trio (carne, carnitas, adobada) my first time. Incredible. Couldn't decide which was best. They bring you a trio of these little house made hot sauce bottles that are each some of the best sauces I've ever had. Second time I got all adobada ($1.50 special, I'm cheap‍), top 5 I've ever had. Today I got a fish and again it was one of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The staff is SUPER friendly and hospitable. Trust me, just come in and get a taco, doesn't matter which one, you will buy another immediately.

    Adobada street taco
    Tamara G.

    Great local business. Staff is super friendly. The adobada, birria, and pollo asada are on-point! Not listed on the menu board, but you can get 3 street tacos for $8.50. Great deal. Breakfast burritos are huge. Nice little dining area for lunch!

    Isa A.

    Food is delicious. Service is great, great ambience. I've tried almost everything here, from menudo, caldo de res, roll tacos, carne asada fries, burritos, fajitas, you name it, I've tried it. Micheladas, amazing! You cannot go wrong with this place. You will love it. I guarantee it.

    Carne Asada burrito
    Lisa S.

    Great spot! The inside is really nice and inviting. We didn't try any drinks this time, but the bar area looked great--perfect setup with TVs for watching sports. The food was excellent! We had a carne asada burrito and a bean & cheese burrito--both were delicious, super generous portions, and the prices were very reasonable. Loved that it came with chips and salsa too. Definitely want to come back for Taco Tuesday!

    Really great little gem. Nice interior, delicious food, even a fun little bar with good prices and frozen beer mugs. Staff were friendly and inviting. Good salsa and hot sauces.

The meats that they carve or offer at the table were all delicious. I was very pleased that each one offered their own characteristics with textures and flavors. I do have to admit that there were favorites among the parade of grilled meats. The picanha steak cut or sirloin cap was not only well seasoned, tender, and juicy, but also grilled to a nice medium or a beautiful pink. The grilled tri-tip was great too, and the Parmesan cheese crusted chicken thighs were very tasty and tender. Other stand outs were the bacon wrapped beef and chicken, the Berkshire pork (pernil) served with a lime wedge, and the linguica or traditional Brazilian sausage. Honestly, all the meats were quite tasty. The offerings at the salad bar were quite impressive, too. If you do just the salad bar when you visit, I think you will be very satisfied. The fresh mozzarella salad was wonderful and came with fresh pearl mozzarella balls. I was very impressed with the cucumber tomatoes salad, and the Rodizio BLT Salad. The salad bar also offered many other items like ceviche, a variety of salads, breads, cold cuts and cheese, and fruits. If you are not a huge meat eater, the salad bar is just right for you. Hospitality was great from the minute we walked in. "Jon" not only provided hospitality with a great sense of humor, but also efficient service. In fact, all the gents who provided the proteins at the table were in good spirits and friendly. I like that this Brazilian Steak House offers plenty of free parking, unlike others downtown, San Diego, and it is priced at a more reasonable price.

I was a bit hesitant to try this place because I love chinese food and lately its just been hit or miss. Also, sushi/chinese can sometimes be not what you expect. ANYWAY, let me go back to my experience with Ayumi. Small cozy restaurant that has about 8-10 tables. Its apparent they do a lot of take out. It's in a small plaza but there is plenty of parking. You're greeted warmly when going inside, and there's an A-Frame in the front that tells you the daily special. The pictures here on yelp and google helped a lot in making my food decisions. I love my orange chicken not too much breading, and an even sauce to nugget ratio. Some of the other chinese restaurants in the immediate area are wayyyy too saucy or too breaded. I chose the Sweet & Pungent chicken, bc that sounded good ... boy it did not disappoint. It came out on a bed of crispy noodles and steamed broccoli. The pieces were evenly sauced and sticky the way I love it ... so I can only imagine the orange chicken, sweet and sour, and whatever else is fried will be decent. Definitely coming back just for this. My bf had the kung pao trio, and it was probably the most decent I've had in a while. The prices are reasonable for the area for the sushi, the chinese food, and even the beverages (some places be gouging for beer), and I'm going to be trying this place out for the lunch specials which is always a good combo of entree, appetizer, and drink. 5 stars for the chinese food, Can't wait to try the sushi next time.

So I ordered through GrubHub and I still think everything was delicious! They have a combination of Chinese foods and Japanese sushis. I ordered an Adam and Eve Roll which was good. The 2 main stars of the show were the scallop roll and the salt and pepper chicken wings! Okay where do I even start?! The scallop roll came from the basic rolls so I was expecting it to be pretty basic. No one told me they were going to put raw scallops omg it was sooo good and soft! Melted like butter in my mouth. Then the salt and pepper chicken wings might be up there on top wings in SD because not only do they load that thing with garlic but they also dice up tiny red bell peppers and omg what a game changer!

Needed a quick bite to eat so to Yelp i went ... saw Chuys had some good looking food and reviews so we took the 9 minute drive from Parkway Plaza after some holiday shopping. Upon walking in there is about nine bar stools aligned the L shaped bar table for sitting along the left wall/window. Place was spotless, super clean with pretty dope street art to your right! The woman at the register was very nice and the cook seemed to carry a great attitude as well. I noticed many customer coming were returning customers which is something I always like to see. California burrito was packed with meat and cooked to absolute perfection. I could actually taste the carne asada over everything which is honesty rare for me. The guacamole was not oozing out nor was it overpowering the taste of the whole burrito. The size of this thing was as about the size of my forearm! Filled me up for sure!! 6 rolled tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese was also perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of crunch on the ends and not too soft in the middles. Plenty of meat in the rolled tacos as well, which you could also taste well through all the toppings! We'll definitely be seeing you again soon Chuy's!!!

I ordered a California burrito and asked to swap in adobado pork. No hesitation, no side‑eye, just a nod and a "you got it." That alone puts them ahead of half the shops in the county. The burrito itself delivered. The adobado came through with that deep red glow and smoky tang, the kind of flavor that feels like it's been tended to, not rushed. Fold that into fries, cheese, and a tortilla doing quiet, reliable work, and you get a bite that hits all the right notes. Rich, bright, salty, satisfying. It's a simple thing done well, which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco shop. Chuy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making a damn good burrito and treating you right while they do it.

By that time, we had seen inconsistencies our fish tacos. One made it perfect, the other over fried the fish and made it un enjoyable. The saving grace was the green sauce. Sometimes, there was an off flavor with the tortilla chips (which you have to pay for- sigh). The new server never jived well with us. She was okay. But after seeing their multiple closures from the health department, and it seems like they are always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (and last Sunday, we drove by and saw they were closing around 6, and not at the posted time of 8), it's like why even bother. I can't look past the gamble with the food and the health violations (GROSS). Also, they don't have a good house margarita, just a cheap one. I remember coming here twice for breakfast like 3 years ago and I really liked their breakfast- especially biscuits and gravy.

Grande Lasagna Bolognese, Americana Pizza, Italian Fest Panini, Fettuccine Cartoccio, Dolci Chicken Mac & Cheese and Penne Michealangelo. Every single item was so delicious. The flavors were rich and the portions were generous! It gave the feeling of FINALLY being satisfied with lunch which we have not had in a very long time! We all agreed we needed a nap after lunch because we stuffed ourselves in the most gluttonous manner! The only problem is that we were so stuffed no one wanted to get back to work!
