    Mixed combo plates (short rib, bbq chicken, bbq beef, chicken kelaguen)+ empanadas
    Sheila V.

    Ordered online for pickup and liked that they offer 10% discount when you first order from them. Got to try their mixed combo plates and empanadas. The empanada was so crispy and had a good kick of spice to it. The short ribs were so delicious with a good smoky flavor while still maintaining its moisture. The bbq chicken was thick and had a bbq char to it but I prefer the bbq beef more. A solid spot and I can't wait to come back!

    Front Counter

    The food and service were decent, but I was genuinely surprised to find out that this restaurant doesn't have a restroom for customers. I understand that smaller establishments may have space limitations, but having no restroom at all is a pretty significant inconvenience--especially if you're dining in, spending money, and planning to stay for a while. Customers shouldn't have to leave the restaurant and search for a public restroom just to use the bathroom. Hopefully, this is something management can address in the future. A customer restroom would make the overall dining experience much more comfortable and convenient.

    Short Ribs with Red Rice and Chicken Kelaguen
    Honest Review S.

    We have been coming here for years. The food is always so freaking delicious. Great portions, great customer service, and lots of seating inside. Pro tip is buying their finadene sauce so you can enjoy at home!!

    Side of Mac salad
    Michelle H.

    I am SOOO SAD. Can someone tell me if they are under new management. I have been coming here over 15 years. I spent over $60 + tip (ordered in the restaurant to go) the photos you see on Yelp USE to be the portions you got. They have cut their portions by more than half. I took photos with my hand on top so you can see how small the portions are now. The pancit and chicken Kelaguan use to be side by side. Now they put the chicken on top of the pancit because it's ALLLL pancit. The chicken was maybe a 1/2 cup spread out on top to look like a lot. The side of Mac salad came in a condiment container something you would get ketchup or ranch in. Super small maybe 2 bites. I ordered a large red rice and they could t even fill the container all the way. Normally when I would order the same stuff it would feed my family of 5. I ended up having to go buy more food else where because this was so little of portions. OVER $60. This is so upsetting. Now I have to find a new Chamorro restaurant.

    Kids BBQ Chicken Bowl Pancit and Lumpia Plate
    Angie B.

    Decent because it's close to me but definitely not anywhere close to the best I've had. Everything needs more flavor. It was all pretty flat. BBQ chicken meat was good but needed a sauce of some sort. Pancit ok. Rice was kind of soggy. Lumpia best part. Mac salad was awful. It seemed like it was in ice or something and the ice melted and made the mac salad watery. Service was great. Everyone was very nice there. Plenty of seating. Smaller, busy parking lot. Likely will not return unless I am really hankering for some lumpia.

    3 Piece Empanada
    Joy G.

    Service A+. Inside was standard, not fancy Food was good. Got the mix plate (Normally $18.95) with bbq short ribs (add $2) and bbq chicken. Red rice and mac salad. Meat was delicious. Mac salad was great (wish I had gotten more) rice was a little mushy. Also got an order of empanadas (3 for $9.95) and while they were hot...they tasted a little like a frozen taquito. I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall I would come back.

    I've never ordered/eaten here. This review is just for the food ordered as a vendor at the Guam fest. It's pretty pricey and small portions. I ordered 2 plates: rib/chicken with added kelaguen and the bbq chicken plate. The bbq chicken was pretty good and flavorful. Their rib has a nice char but not burnt. Their cucumber salad was very refreshing. Their kelaguen just wasn't hitting. It wasn't bad but I've had better. Would like to try ordering directly from the restaurant and giving it another try since I don't want to base my review solely on a food festival since I know those can be more chaotic and you're not in the comfort of a kitchen.

    BBQ Short Rib and Pork Rib Plate
    Kevin W.

    Chamorro grill is a great barbecue spot with great meats and great people! There's seating in the restaurant and you go up to the counter to order and find a table. The menu has a lot of options but I went with the short ribs and pork ribs with red rice and Mac salad. The Mac salad was pretty standard, worked well with the barbecued meats. The red rice was on the wetter side, and lightly flavored to pair well with the meats as well! Highly recommend getting over regular rice. The pork ribs were good - not fall off the bone, but also had some bite to it which textually worked well! It also came with a sweet soy type sauce that packed a massive flavor punch! Very good!! Short ribs were by far the best thing, grilled perfectly and were very tender. Highly recommend!

    BBQ BEEF PLATE

    Placed our order in the restaurant shortly before closing. When we got home we opened our box and our meat was only half cooked this was the first time it happened I think because they were in a hurry it's $20 a plate and I don't think we can afford to go back if the food won't be edible I sent them an email with photos but they never got back to me

    Lower prices circled

    BUYER BEWARE - The Menu hung up in their window displays prices that are lower than what they charge you. On 1/12/26 Matt rung us up and we noticed that the prices were different than the menu we looked at outside through their window. When we brought it to his attention, his said no worries but he didn't know how to change the system to adjust the prices so he called for help. When the lady from the kitchen came out (didn't catch her name, but she was an older brunette) she was SO incredibly rude and condescending saying that they didn't have to honor the prices in their menu and they have a new menu on order. When I mentioned that I was pretty confident they should have to honor the prices, she dismissed it entirely and scoffed saying that the "Food and Beverage Department already okayed it." What a joke. A simple sorry for the mistake would have sufficed.

    Loco Moco and Chicken Keleguen Musubi
    Ashley C.

    I really wanted to try the food here during our visit to San Diego, but this wasn't near any of our other stops so I thought we wouldn't get to try it. But DoorDash to the rescue! We ordered the chicken kelaguen musubi and the loco moco plate. Everything was packaged so nicely, and they were very generous with the vinegar sauce which was delicious with the musubi! The red rice was cooked to perfection. The musubi is hefty too, and you get two per order. If you eat both it's basically a full meal! The loco moco had plenty of gravy and the meat was not dry at all. Even the eggs were still runny which can typically come overcooked when you're ordering delivery! I liked that you could pick a side with your loco moco, but just wish I could've tried both the macaroni salad and cucumbers. I am glad we chose the cucumbers though because it added a nice freshness in between bites of the heavy musubi and loco moco. Such a delicious meal, which is saying a lot when you're having it through delivery for the first time!

And I'm someone who was born and raised in Hawaii and lived there for 18 years, so I don't say that lightly Last time, I got the poke plate with brown rice and greens, and it was delicious. Today, I got the pan ahi belly and my husband got the ahi belly bomb, and both were SO good. The quality of the fish is seriously insane. The only thing that wasn't great was the crinkle-cut fries, which were obviously frozen, but we didn't go there for the fries, so it's okay lol. Just beware that the line is super long on weekends. I highly recommend going right when they open on a weekday if you want to avoid the wait!

Medium Poke Bowl w/ Shoyu Ahi Tuna & Spicy Salmon - Unfortunately, this was a complete miss for me. I'm sorry, but it just wasn't what I was used to getting here for last 3 years in San Diego. Maybe it was an off day or because they were super busy, but the Shoyu Ahi Tuna didn't really taste like anything. There was barely any shoyu flavor, and it honestly tasted more like salted ahi. The texture of the tuna was also off. When I tried picking it up with my chopsticks, it would literally tear apart. It felt very mushy and lacked flavor. The Spicy Salmon was okay, but it had this weird aftertaste that I couldn't quite describe. On the bright side, I really liked that they sprinkled furikake on top, and the fish portions were pretty generous with big pieces. Fish Tacos - Pretty standard overall. At $6 per taco, they're definitely on the pricier side, and I was wishing there was a little more fish. That said, the tacos had good flavor and were seasoned really well. The salsa also complemented them nicely. Overall, the new location is a huge upgrade in terms of the space and convenience, but unfortunately the poke itself just wasn't hitting for me this time.

It's a great variety of Hawaiian and Guamanian dishes which ended up being large portions as well. Once I finally decided, the katsu musubi was a great appetizer choice. For the mains went with the Chamorro combo of pork ribs, chicken kelaguen & red rice and the saimin. I'd say it wasn't quite what I was expecting. While the ribs were tasty, the chicken kelaguen and red rice tasted a little different than what I've had in the past. The saimin was decent but wasn't true local style. But in all, it was a good dinner and really enjoyed the quick service and island vibes.
