Chukies Fries
Isaac J.

They will mess up your order . It took them 3 tries to fix my order. Other than that the food is okay. The carne asada fries and chukies were decent . The fries were more like seasoned fries, it's different but good. They do not disappoint with the portion size ! They did stack it up with a bunch of cheese, guacamole and sour cream ! This place needs to work on being more efficient . I have seen from previous customers that they tend to mess up peoples orders and well the rumors are true. Is it a place thats worth to go too ? Probably not . Is it a place ill go too cause im lazy to drive anywhere far ? Yup sounds about right.

Rubber band in my chicken taco

As I was swallowing a bite of my taco, I started choking and pulled this rubber band up from my throat out of my mouth. I called the place and guess what?! They don't speak a word of English to hear my complaint. Absolutely disgusting! I called back and they did not answer!

Salsa
Romel M.

I order door dash from here several times a week. Same order every time. Carne asada fries with extra guac, sour creme, and cheese. I always try to call immediately after placing my order to remind them to include lots of red salsa. Today, the guy who picks up the phone tells me he can only include 9 salsas with my 3 orders of carne asada fries. This is what arrives. A bunch of half full or less than half caps. If you're the type of person to use a lot of salsa like me, order elsewhere unless you are dining in and getting your own salsa. I've never worked in the food industry, but common sense tells me if a customer goes out of their way to call in making sure the shop includes salsa, that customer must be serious about needing salsa to go with his meal. So now I've got a bunch of carne asada fries that I can't eat because I don't have enough salsa. If I forget to call, I'm lucky if I get one cap of salsa. If Panchos would learn to include a good amount of salsa with their orders, I'd be giving them 5 stars.

The "mini" birria tacos are amazing, fully stacked! Are they even mini? Didn't seem like an authentic Mexican restaurant from the outside, I was a little skeptical but I'm impressed. Good quality amazing plus the salsas are spicy and amazing flavor! Consome was 100/10 I was not expecting such a delicacy. Idk why it has a low rating!

Shredded Beef Tacos
Ryan W.

My kiddo and I stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed it! He grabbed the Shredded Beef Tacos and I went with the California Burrito. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful and our food came out within 5 minutes. We chose the dine-in option, but about a dozen folks rolled through for take-out in the 20-25 minutes we were there. Clearly a local favorite for food, and we weren't disappointed. There is a small salsa buffet with cups on the side for some additional spice, and they have lids for those to-go orders. If you are looking for a quick, in & out spot for lunch, I'd recommend it!

You have to try this place!…read more It's one of my family's favorite seafood spots. I've had the pulpo tostada and taco multiple times and they're always amazing, super fresh and never overcooked. I usually get the macho sauce on the side so I can spice it up to my level lol. My family has also tried the tuna tostada, micheladas, chilaquiles, and even Dino nuggets for the kids, everything has been consistently great every time we go. The service is always on point, the ambiance is nice, and it's in a great central location. We usually stop by Wood Market afterward to grab a few things. Highly recommend! definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Also, shoutout to the Convoy location, it's just as good!

Even though we were a bit late for the breakfast menu, they still let us order the Smoked fish, Gobernador, and Pork Belly-quiles. I loved the flavors, and it had just the right amount of spice I prefer. I also had a Mango-rita that snuck up on me in a good way. We each tried all three plates, and all agreed they were sumptuous. Everyone running the restaurant was super friendly and accommodating to special diet needs as well. I'm glad we tried this establishment. It was quite busy that day, but there was still plenty of parking, and they had booths to sit and enjoy the experience. Portions were large - we all had leftovers to take home. I would love to come back and try more of the menu!

This was our first time dining at Otay Sushi & Crab on Eastlake Pkwy in Chula Vista, CA…read more I'm always in search for delicious seafood in town. This restaurant exceeded our expectations and recommend trying the following: Appetizers: *Jalapeño Bomb (favorite) *Gyoza Pork *Soft Shell Crab Dinner: Family Combo A (4 items) $65 *2lbs of shrimp *2lbs of crawfish We ordered medium spice level with garlic butter and drizzled a ton of lemons. Everything we ordered was so delicious!! Otay Sushi & Crab has an All-you-can-eat sushi menu and Lunch Bento Specials. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating for large groups. We had excellent customer service. Location is next to Nothing Bundt Cakes. We look forward to going back!! Give it a try! Happy Yelping :)

Their sushi and fish are pretty good quality & one of our favorite things is that happy hour is buy 1 get 1 beer & sake all day lol When we came back to try AYCE seafood we had a few questions about the menu and our server was super patient with all our questions and requests. I genuinely think it's worth the price just because the amount of appetizers that come along with it. There was more than enough food to go around and we didn't even get to 3 rounds of seafood before we got full haha It's a clean restaurant, good service, and in a large plaza. The plaza it's located in can get really busy though because of the TJ Max & Marshals so I would plan accordingly on the weekends. The only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is because although the flavoring in the seafood is delicious.. I think they add way too much butter in the mix that it literally drowns out the seasoning. So what we started doing is digging to the bottom of the bag with a spoon, scooping out some of the seasoning from there and adding it to a sauce cup with some salt & pepper. Then we add the butter from there. The flavor is there, it is.. you just have to dig for it lol other than that our experience was great. We'll be coming back often.

I tried the recommended Joe's Shrimp Po'boy at 20% off and a $5 pint of Sculpin , upgrading fries to onion rings. Reading on Yelp, I asked to try the house sauce people raved about. It was too much food! Enough onion rings for 2-3 people. The shrimp were delicious but I felt the spicy remoulade sauce overwhelmed other flavors. It's pretty spicy! But it's Cajun so that's okay! The house sauce, with garlic, lemon, lobster broth and other flavors was amazing. Onion rings were thin sliced, crispy panko coated, and very good. I probably wouldn't order the same thing again, but the garlic noodles are tempting, and I want to return for one of their Sunday brunches with seafood boil and DJ music. Glad I found it!

Check out their instagram for events and specials. I we enjoyed watching the SD Padres game Vs. STL Cardinals so glad we won!! Happy Mother's Day! Check this place out! Happy Yelping :)

We had a party of 15 and from the planning process to the actual dinner, the restaurant made the entire experience feel special and seamless. Our employees absolutely loved it. The views are honestly second to none. Watching the San Diego skyline and water during dinner created such an incredible atmosphere. The service was outstanding from start to finish and the food completely lived up to the hype. I had the lobster mac and cheese and it was unlike anything I've ever had. Rich, flavorful, and worth every bite. Then dessert happened. Our server insisted I couldn't leave without trying the peanut butter brownie ice cream dessert and now I fully understand why. Unreal. I think I need about seven more of them immediately. Highly recommend for celebrations, group dinners, date nights, or anytime you really want to impress people.

You really can't go wrong with 100s Seafood Grill Buffet…read more I'm not one for gluttony, but if you're going to indulge in a buffet, you might as well go with a place that has options galore. As I get older & really start to appreciate the value of a dollar & the importance of choices, having Snow Crab legs (sweeter than the larger King Crab & not nearly as difficult to crack as Dungeness) is fast becoming a "non-negotiable" for me. Also, it always helps when a restaurant -buffet or not- is great with large parties. Coming with a group of 11, 100s Seafood Grill Buffet handled our group well. Spoiler alert, the place didn't even hesitate when we had 100+ guests come for a reception for a beloved one's passing a few years ago. Was it a chaotic? Sure. Did they handle as swimming as possible! Absolutely. Their sushi is fresh - especially for a buffet. My niece appreciated their "Make Your Own Poké" station. Also, don't knock them for having a pro serve ice cream. (Too many customers don't know how to properly scoop -Hint: Dip the scoop in the water & move to the scoop as a spherical ball). Don't sleep on the lime, melon, & grapefruit ice cream flavors as well. The great thing about this place (like any decent buffet) is that there is something for everyone & the quality is above what other places serve. There is a 2 hour limit - just remember to be reasonable. This place has to make a profit to stay in business.
