The location appears to be a repurposed building that probably served as another type of eatery in the past. I'd guess the building dates back to at least the 80s. It is a small building that has booths and regular tables inside with a counter for ordering. Outdated interior that could use some updating. The faint smell inside reminded me of roach spray. The prices are more reasonable than other Mexican/Taqueria places and I liked that you can order plates that include a bit of guacamole and beans instead of having to order these as side dishes. There is no self serve salsa bar though. I got the carne asada plate that came with a generous portion of meat, along with rice, beans, guacamole, a few tortilla chips, a bit of grated cheese, choice of tortilla, 1/2 a lime, and a bit of red hot sauce and green medium hot sauce. The portion size was perfect and better than most places. Taste was overall good, however, I found the meat to taste a bit too salty and some of the meat was too dry from cooking to eat. I have had better carne asada elsewhere, however, these days it is hard to find so the carne asada here is better than the average these days. I recommend Graciela's if you are in the area for a cheap, quick meal. Lots of parking in a big free lot shared with other businesses.

Never heard about this place until my brother moved near by. We decided on trying it out and it was…read morehonestly such a pleasant surprise. The food quality was very good. The tortillas were warmed to the point it was slightly crispy on the outside but still soft, meat was charred, and the filling was flavorful. Rolled tacos were crispy and flavorful.

But if you work in the area, it's probably one of your staples. Sarai's was recommended by an employee of a local business, so its name rings true in these streets. I've been craving a good breakfast burrito, one with potatoes instead of fries and some delicious refried beans. Thankfully, my lady received the recommendation of Sarai's, saw that they used potatoes instead of fries, and then proceeded to hook me up! These burritos, coming in at $12-$18 (depending on your add-ons and if you pay with card), are LARGE! After adding beans and potatoes, I'm talkin' two hands, better cut it in half, 2 lbs large. I love a good breakfast burrito, and while these are good, the flavor leaves a little bit to be desired. The salsas are solid, but they're not the spiciest, nor the most flavorful. I do appreciate that they do not skimp on the salsas. Overall good, but not exceptional. I've been 3 times now, and had a pretty similar experience each time, which is great. There is a small dining room, but you'll probably want to take this to go. For a small whole in the wall, Sarai's is getting it done. Thanks Sarai's!

The red salsa had some nice kick and the green was very refreshing. This might be my new go to breakfast burrito spot when I need one at work.

Five stars. I…read moreordered a bean and cheese burrito with French fries. It was $15.23, and after leaving a $2 tip, I was into it for a little over $17. It's easily the most expensive bean and cheese burrito I've ever bought, but it's also by far the biggest. The burrito was packed from end to end with an excellent filling-to-tortilla ratio. It was delicious, filling, and definitely lived up to its size. The salsa bar was another standout, with four or five different salsas to choose from, and every one I tried was good. It's definitely on the expensive side, so it may not fit everyone's budget. That said, I've always said I'm willing to pay more for a burrito that's actually full, and Sayulitas delivered. The portion, flavor, and quality made it worth the price. I'll definitely be back.

Whatever you see on tik tok may even be true, I've had decent burritos in the past from them, but this was not good in any way. Over priced flimsy burrito and the juices drained through the paper and foil as soon as I started to unwrap it. I ordered the burrito with extra sour cream, extra guacamole, it should've had nacho cheese and curly fries in there as well. All you see is a weak tortilla and carne with a few pieces of sausage. Also the service was a bit awkward. Idk it just wasn't welcoming I felt out of place. I was shocked as to why they were 3 stars. Next time maybe I should come with my camera team and let them know I'm an influencer. This wasn't it. I won't be back at all this year, or next year.

The watermelon aqua fresca had a really good flavor, although I think it would have been even better if it had been served a little colder. As for the tacos, the adobada definitely stood out. It was super flavorful and I devoured every bite. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the carne asada. The meat was a bit bland and could have used more seasoning. I also felt that $17 was a little steep considering how small the tacos were. Overall, I enjoyed the adobada and the friendly service.

Parking in the front can be tough, but there's plenty of parking in the back, which makes it super convenient. The location is right in the heart of Downtown Chula Vista on 3rd Ave, so it's easy to stop by while you're in the area. The food is tasty, the customer service is great, and the taco shop is spacious. Definitely a must-go taco spot if you're nearby!

Rice, beans, veggie, and salsa were all on point. Steak had a great texture while the flavor was good, but could've been stronger. I got three salsa hot sauces, a brown-ish more BBQ like one, a green tomatillo-ish one, and a red more spicy one. Although, I thought even the red one wasn't really that spicy.
