A jumbo shrimp cocktail Mariscos  just like at the beach in Mexico
Susan D.

I had the most wonderful shrimp cocktail here On Sundays, they do serve brunch with champagne

Chips and salsa
John K.

Tons of parking! Ms Badpenny and I came in for lunch. They have a great happy hour too. Their chips and salsa are SO good too.

Pollo Asado

First time here .. super friendly service ! Food was great .. price was decent too. You get free chips and salsa .. and there salsa is yummy ! Ambiance is festive .. good size dining room with a bar off to one side . I will definitely be back !

So much for filling up on chips...

We have been going to Marieta's for years. We were unimpressed with our latest dinner. The food was tepid, as though it had been cooked earlier and merely warmed up to serve. We used a coupon, which provided a buy-one-get-one-free combination entree if you also purchased two cocktails. The cocktails were very good. The regular prices were too high for what we received unless you used a coupon. That you have to now pay for additional chips is off-putting. The service was good (quick and friendly). To the Restaurant from a Consumer: As restaurants seek to avoid the direct increase of entree prices by adding fees or charging obsurd prices for beverages and sides (or, in the case of Marieta's, chips), I seek to cut expenses by reducing the frequency of dining out, only having water as a beverage, and seeking to reduce gratuities back to the more reasonable 15%, unless service was truly outstanding. I recommend restaurants seek volume over price increases. If enough people cannot afford to go out to dinner, you ultimately suffer.

Very good

The cook must been in a big hurry the meat and onions were under cooked and cut. Very large chunks. The Encihlada was very good and the Flan too. Excellent service and parking. Indoor dining.

Cheese enchilada , beef taco , rice and beans .
Katie G.

This is by far the best Mexican food in East County . Far better food than hacienda . The staff here are so sweet and welcoming . I give them 4.5 . We loved it here . My favorite dish here is the camarones al mojo de ajo . This dish is served with side of corn and rice and your choice of fresh and delicious tortillas. You also get the choice of soup or salad . I get the albóndigas soup . The soup so good . I love this meal very much . My brother in law said they have some of the best carne asada he's ever eaten . The combo plates are delicious. They have amazing rice and beans . I highly recommend eating here . Such a great dining experience.

Nom nom nom!!! One…read moreof the first things I do when trying a new Mexican restaurant is to try the rice and beans. If they're good, the rest of the menu seems to be too. Well, Yesenia's has magical beans and rice! And guess what? Everything else is delicious too! I especially like that their refried beans have some whole beans left in. The rice is moist and flavorful. I would be a happy camper if all I had for dinner was the rice and beans but... My hubby and I are slowly going through their menu! So far, it's all fantastic! The food is very fresh, portions generous, and just tastes soooooo good! I can't wait to try the pozole next. A lady near our table had an enormous bowl of it the last time we were there and it looked delicious One of everything please! They also have a salsa bar with about 5 choices along with hot carrots/peppers, pickled onions, and limes. They have many tables and ample parking (strip mall). Everything has been clean and has a nice mix of dine-in and takeout orders. They do a great job - thank you! V & K

Today I walked in and saw a breakfast burrito special on the board, including mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, eggs, and cheese. Delicious! The mushrooms were sautéed perfectly and blended well with the other sautéed vegetables, egg and cheese. The salsa bar is legit offering mild to spicy red and green. A word of caution, the jalapeño salsa is fire! But it taste so good. I kept going back for more punishment ha ha ha. Come in and see for yourself, the food is good, quality ingredients, and super nice people. You won't be disappointed. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated and the restrooms were clean and cared for. Definitely adding this to my go to quick Serve Mexican restaurant.

The lobster nachos were so good--flavorful, fresh, and honestly the highlight of the meal. The protein bowl didn't disappoint either, packed with good portions and tasted just as good as it looked.

I ordered a bowl and a side of brussel sprouts and specified "no cheese" He was very friendly and professional. When he took my order, he added the note to the receipt "no cheese". Once my food was ready, I double checked the order to make sure there was no cheese. As soon as I opened the Brussel sprouts, I immediately noticed there was parmesan cheese on them. I went back to Justin and showed him there was cheese. He was very apologetic and said he would have them remade immediately. While I waited for the Brussel sprouts to be remade, i noticed 2 employees in the back mocking me and Miranda said to Abraham multiple times "no cheese, no cheese, make sure there's no cheese." They both were laughing hysterically and kept glancing over at me. At this point in time, I was getting agitated that they would make a mockery of such a serious allergy. My dairy allergy is serious and I could be hospitalized if I consume dairy. After waiting another 10 mins, Justin brought over the Brussel sprouts and before handing them to me, he double checked them again. When he opened them he noticed there was still traces of parmesan cheese. Again, Justin was very apologetic and explained that the parmesan cheese must have fallen into the tomatoes. He continued to apologize and offered another side item on the menu. Just was the only professional one and provided exceptional service. As for Miranda and Abraham, they should learn to take people's allergies seriously and not make a mockery of it. Very unprofessional. I hope management escalates this customer experience to ensure other customers don't have to deal with such rude and unprofessional employees like Miranda and Abraham. Please give Justin a raise because he is the only reason why I would ever give my business to this location again.

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.

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.
