I got the Mexican Mocha, and not too bad, but the price was nice! It was less than $5 and a good size cup. Would def come back whenever I just want a sip some coffee and read. The staff were friendly too! read more

This place was tucked away and unassuming. Not knowing what to expect, I tried it yesterday. I ordered three rolled tacos. Boy, was I blown away!! Their rolled tacos only included lettuce, guac, and sour cream as a dressing. All the flavor was in the rolled tacos. So good. It was so good that I came in the next day to try the chilaquiles. I ordered the green kind. Oh man, I couldn't stop eating it. The tortilla chips' texture was on point, and the rice was so flavorful. This is my new favorite lunch spot. I can't wait to try their other dishes. I highly recommend this place. Also, the staff was very accommodating and super friendly. I love the customer service! read more

Our neighborhood go-to for consistent food. Adobada burrito ftw! Nachos and sub adobada for the carne asada. My kids love it too. We've gotten other stuff and all have been good. Love their Vampiro juice too. read more

The breakfast burrito is the most delicious in the area. We also love the carne asada fries and rolled tacos. The flour and corn tortillas are both delicious. Oh, and the fruit salad is good too. read more

Stopped by on a weekday morning. Not too busy, just a few other customers. It's clean, small with several tables. Their toasted bagel is fresh with a generous serving of plain cream cheese. I ordered chilaquiles with verde sauce. Crispy chips, a good amount of sauce, hot and fresh. They also offer a wide variety of deli sandwiches, Tortas, smoothies, fruits, salads, etc. Prices are fair customer service is straightforward but friendly. Parking lot is shared with surrounding businesses. A relatively quiet area in the mornings. read more

Best chilaquiles I have ever had in my entire life. Also delicious beans and rice. Everything from scratch. I can't believe my luck! Thank you Vega! Also the latte is legit!!!!! Yummmm yummm! My new favorite breakfast spot. read more

Food and customer service - I will choose this place over and over again. They were kind and patient when I had questions about the food. They even brought out the food to me with a smile and gladly provided me with napkins. I also love their extensive menu, especially the healthy options and variety of salads. My kids enjoyed the carne asada fries, and they said the meat was delicious. I was impressed with the freshness of the fruit salad they served me. Thank you, Vega Cafe, for your kindness. I will never stop at the nearby taco shop in this center again. I have always been greeted with hostility by the cashiers there. I'm glad I decided to give Vega Cafe a try. It's my new go-to place. read more

I love this place and their salads. Always refreshing and filling! Everything in the salad is chopped into bite size pieces. They always accommodate to my food allergies. Great customer service. read more

I like Vega coffee because it's a small restaurant and not very crowded, but has a steady rhythm of customers. I placed my order by phone and was told my food would be ready within 10 to 15 minutes which indeed was ready when I got there. I had everything in the bag that was needed to eat my lunch such as napkins, forks, knife and the condiments for my meal. The only thing I didn't care for was horchata it's not premade it's from a fountain drink that you can clearly see the water mixed with the Horchata mix other than that everything was satisfying I will continue to visit Vega café for the coffee and the food. read more

I got charged for a sandwich I couldn't eat because the employee lied about the sandwich having sauce on it. The sauce on the Torta is absolutely disgusting and I would of never paid that much for that crap. read more

Carne Asada torta is on point!! Hands down one of the decent tortas I've had. I have yet to be disappointed with it! My go to spot when I want a torta and a pepino drink!! No complaints on my end!! read more

My go to spot for aqua Frescas, smoothies and tortas. Always great service and they have multiple locations.

Very delicious food and great prices ! The service is amazing , always friendly and helpful. I like the vibe such a family environment spot . read more

Bomb food and even better service My go-to is a Cubana Torta or Breakfast Burrito!! read more

I order a sandwich through yelp. When I got there the sandwich was not ready. I wait for it to be prepared when I open the sandwich there was hair on it I ask to fix it and they said yes but I received the same sandwich it was cold so they didn't make a new one. Is not a honest place to eat. read more

Dined here for the first time today with my daughter. We both enjoyed our food so much and the service was top notch. Everyone was so friendly! The vegetarian torta was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and my daughter loved her bean and cheese burrito. They have a case of fresh fruit as an option for the kids meal side which was so nice for my daughter to have a healthy option. Everything was so fresh! We don't live in the area but we will be back. Love this place. read more

Sadly my experience at this place was not good. I ordered chilaquiles and they were extremely flavorless, there was no seasoning or good taste at all. The sauce was watery, I've never had chilaquiles like that. I would not order here again. read more

First time where the food was good but they forgot my meat on my meat on my chips and nachos but told them and they took care of him I would definitely come back again read more

Came here when Lolita's was closed or the wait was too long. I ended up loving the home cooked taste to their food here. The quality of the food is way better than Lolita's. They have so many options, next time I'll try their fruit smoothies. read more

So after eating at Vega cafe in Otay and coming here to the one in Eastlake... I can't even compare the two very disappointed ordered 4 coffees had to tell the cashier 5 times and still didn't get it right. We ordered an açaí bowl and it's frozen can't even eat it ended up in the trash. The only thing that was good was the fruit salad but how can you mess that up! Will not be coming back. Disappointed read more

Vega Caffe Mexican Deli - Not an açaí bowl! - Delis Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Don't eat here. Ordered chx rolled tacos and the chicken tasted spoiled rotten... Spit it out immediately. Ugh...disgusting!

I am a long-term customer of this restaurant. In years I have never had a bad experience until last night. I arrived minutes before closing hours and was greeted by register staff. I politely asked if I was still able to place an order due to them closing soon. The Staff agreed and mentioned they could help me out with no problem. I placed a to-go order for a Tuna Salad and a beet juice. Upon me Ordering, I overheard one of the cooks/staff mention that they had already begun cleaning up and had kitchen equipment soaking in Clorox solutions. Once I received my order I was skeptical to try my beet juice since I noticed they had used the blender which was just recently soaking in the Clorox solution to make my smoothie but did not have a visual to confirm that that was the case. After they handed me my to-go order. I drove off and tried the beet juice a few times and the juice was still laced with chemicals. I immediately started to feel a burning sensation down my esophagus and started feeling dizzy. I will no longer be supporting this business due to this negligence and would recommend for anyone that comes here to pay close attention.!! I would also appreciate a follow-up from the owner of the establishment as I will be taking further action. Thank you. read more

Just went in for the first time to get food and the woman on the register was so sweet. Got a to go order and they put everything you need in the bag. Napkins, fork, and salsa. Food is really good. They do put a lot of meat and aren't stingy. Will definitely be coming back. read more

We are local Eastlake residents and I've never heard or tried at this place before until today. The food was really good and so is the service. We will definitely be back to this little hidden gem. It's definitely worth visiting with a ton of different food options for everyone to be happy read more

Vega is so good. The people working are always super kind. It's easy to place orders and pick up. Definitely our go to for local Mexican food. read more

So I was craving Mexican food. I'm new to East lake and this place popped up near by with a high rating. It looked promising, so I called to place an order, in order to eat at home. Well, I called, and the guy answers. I tell him I want to place an order to go and he tells me to wait.... ... ... ... And wait.... And so I go back to playing Fallout after 2 min... I'm waiting... This whole time I'm listening to this guy take other people's orders, then talking with I think one of the lady's with whom he works, so I get dressed and get in my car... Still waiting on the phone, I begin to drive. No one came back to take my order. After almost 8 min, my call drops, because i drove through a dead zone. On hold for 7 min and 14 sec. If I hadn't driven through a dead zone, I would've stayed on so I could get to their cafe and show them that I was still on hold with them. I ended up going to another place to get food because I wasn't going to give my money to a business who won't give me time or respect. Sucks too, I'm reading so many great reviews about this place... Except, of course, for the customer who found live flies in their Horchata. read more

This is regular place for us and friends to go. Located in Eastlake, Chula Vista with great parking options and most importantly fantastic Mexican food. Great breakfast sandwiches, burritos, tacos, smoothies, fruit salads, soups...you name it. Mostly self serving and you could eat inside or out. We normally go outside with our 2 doggies. They also have a card they can stamp for a free meal after you purchased 10. Highly recommended. read more

Fresh vegetables, fresh bread, thick sandwiches. First time tasting the fruit salad and it was perfect. Delicious.

Good food! & quick service. A hidden gem. I've tried the tortas, the Cubana is delicious. The breakfast burrito is also very tasty. The house salsa both green & red always taste fresh & are the perfect amount of spicy. It's cool that the parking spots right in front say Vega & are reserved for customers. There's always parking available anyways. That's not an issue at all. Their location is somewhat hidden because they're tucked away in the corner of the parking lot. Same parking lot as Tavern & Bowl. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Especially if you work close by & you're looking for a quick lunch. They have green & fruit salads as well if you're looking for a healthier option. Two thumbs up. read more

Vega Caffe Mexican Deli - Green and Red Salsa - Delis Near Me - Chula Vista, California

My first question was if they had WiFi - they did Second I asked if their blended drinks were made with powdered mixes and they said yes. Third I asked: can you just blend up a banana with ice, a little coffee and almond milk for me? I thought she was going to roll her eyes and think I was "that annoying customer." But nope. She was so nice! She said "yeah sure we can just charge it as a smoothie, with a shot of espresso, no problem ...but we don't have almond milk, is soy milk ok? And ....they even brought it to me when I sat down. So if you're someone that enjoys the creaminess of blended coffee drinks once in a while but would rather not get the added ingredients that are in most mixes then just ask for the BRENDA drink. Ha! That was banana, ice, shot of espresso and a touch of non dairy milk. You're welcome. P.S. This is a cafe that would meet everyone's food preferences - healthy, indulging, a little bit of everything because they literally have it all. Such sweet people that work here. I was down in Chula Vista for business and stopped at this cafe to get some work done before my meeting. read more

I was looking for a good deli & sandwich place, and I found something down the way from me. Nice little place, looks locally owned and operated - I totally support. Friendly folks - greeted everyone who walks in. I decided on the 1/2 chicken salad sandwich with fries. Fairly priced and ready in a jiff. When I walked in, a customer was getting some kind of avocado salad deliver to him - it looked Good! If I had one suggestion it would be to lower the music. it was a bit loud and folks (just about everyone) had to talk louder which a a fit uncomfortable especially when you're trying to enjoy lunch. Food: chicken salad was a bit dry but, to be fair its not easy to get right. Sandwich filled with chicken salad, fresh tomato, cucumber & lettuce - dijon mustard. Homemade fries and pretty good, reminded me of mine without the work! Self-serve drink fountain & station - and two large screen TVs. Yes, I will go back - the menu looks pretty good & as I said, its down the way. read more

Not impressed. Ordered a carne asada quesadilla. It was soggy and the carne was terrible quality with grissle and nodules. I should have gone to Lolitas, but I wanted to support this small business. Next time it's Lolitas! read more

Vega caffe is good. The prices are a bit high tho $8 for a half sandwich and salad. The sandwich i chose was chicken breast...it was bomb on sourdough bread. The salad i chose was cesar. The salad was great. Fresh and delicious. They give u variety and a big decision too. Their menu is pretty hooked up. I have yet to try their tortas de milenesa next. read more

Dissatisfied with my meal. I ordered the turkey torta and it was flavorless. It also wasn't cheap. I had read the reviews and I was looking forward to a good dining experience, but I was completely disappointed. I don't think I'll be going back to this place. read more

I've been coming here since I was 12 or 13 years old and i am now 23. To begin with i used to love coming to this place after middle school and grabbing a monster and hot Cheetos. With that being said i was treated better back then, then i am now. I have probably ordered from here 30+ times the past few years, and it was always consistently good (food+service). But the past year or so everytime i go in there i am treated like a second class customer because i am not Hispanic. I have multiple examples where i order first and end up waiting a ridiculously long time for such a small order. Then family friends come in or people they know who are Hispanic and they are taken care of instantly. It's like they completely forget about everyone else in the restaurant. The worst example is when I went before work to order a carne asada torta for the restaurant... Well 45 mins later it's still not ready, and yeah i admit i should've checked on it, but people were being served their food before me and they came in wayyyy after i did. I finally went to the counter and they didn't even realize i didn't get my food, they thought i got it already. I ended up being late for work and having to scarf it down as i was driving. I'm not one to write negative reviews especially when it's a family business in a community i grew up in, but this isn't the first or even second time something similar has happened to me. To fuel the fire even more, i went back there for the last time a few days ago, and i noticed this African American gentleman waiting along time , he ended up leaving with just a smoothie and shaking his head. I don't blame him, he was forgotten about then had to go up to the counter himself to remind them of his order. So if you are not friends with the family or non-hispanic i don't recommend coming here unless you want half ass service. read more

Our office uses Vega Cafe constantly...fresh food, small business owned...we are regulars! Love it

Fresh food. It's a mix of Mexican based tortas and deli sandwiches. They also serve coffee and smoothies here. There's a lot of different food to choose from. I had the grilled chicken sandwich combo that came with a tortilla soup and drink. Just under $9. The soup was good and was plentiful with tortilla chips in it. The sandwich was good also. They have some pretty good number items for clean eating options. Definite must yelp spot in Chula. read more

We just had a great experience at this restaurant. I had a milanesa torta and a fruit salad and they were both made fresh and delicious! Authentic Mexican food made with love! Everyone in the restaurant was so friendly and warm. They have a wonderful menu of Mexican food including tortas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and all sorts of fruit items like aguas frescas and smoothies. They care about their food and their customers and it shows! I can't wait to go back! read more

I came to this restaurant because I read on Yelp about the great food here. I must say that my wife ordered an excellent fruit salad that was very fresh and tasted excellent. Unfortunately, I ordered the breakfast burrito that had left me with a lot to be desired. My burrito has 75% potato and 25% everything else. Add to that, I had the same potato wedges as a side dish to my potato filled burrito. Can you say too much of a single ingredient, I certainly can. I felt like the Vega Caffe was cutting financial corners with my meal and I was none too happy with having that notion. Having said that, due to the fact that my wife's salad tasted amazing, I will give this establishment a second chance by returning sometime in the future and ordering another burrito that is not of a breakfast variety. I'll let everyone know how it turns out... read more

Got the cubano this time and the carne asada. The cubano with the smoked pork on that crusty bread is the winner. Also tried the complimentary pickled carrots and jalapenos...fresh and not too much heat. Will have to try the burritos and chilaquiles next time. read more
