5 stars Tried the kekas and street tacos with pollo, carne asada, and al pastor and everything was amazing. The kekas were super melty and packed with flavor, basically the perfect mix of a taco and quesadilla. The street tacos were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor too. You can tell everything was made fresh off the grill. Definitely coming back for more! The food was served to us almost instantaneously! The music and vibes of the restaurant was perfect for a well spent taco Tuesday!! read more

Chula Tacos will still always be my favorite spot for adobada tacos, but I was a little disappointed with this location. The location itself is great, and the service and seating are all big pluses. It's more spacious, less crowded, and there are usually more open tables, which I really liked. I also noticed (though I didn't ask to confirm) that they seem to take drive-through orders, which is super convenient. That said, the adobada tacos and vampiros didn't taste the same as the original location, and the food was a little cold when I got it. They do use a bit less meat, but I think the main reason it didn't taste the same was because it was cold. Because of that, I'll probably stick to the original spot for my adobada fix, but don't dismiss this location! The cebada drink and the oil salsa were still just as good as ever. I can really only vouch for the adobada tacos and vampiros since those are my go-tos. I personally don't care much for the kekas or asada tacos, but that's just me! I'd still recommend trying them for yourself. The asada is good if you add a little salt and eat it hot right away, but it's not something I usually order. I tried it again a long time ago, and it just didn't stick for me. read more

Came here because of a tiktok hyping it up - We ordered a Keka de asada 10/10 , delicious - tacos de tripa 8/10 (good but has the burnt oil taste), chicken 8/10 and al pastor 5/10 (no pineapple and really greasy) and to drink tamarindo 10/10 and Jamaica 10/10. Gio was very helpful and gave us a lot of great suggestions but the only good thing on the menu was the keka of asada. The girl at the window .. when I asked, "could I have extra" (didn't even get to finish) ... she cut me off and said everything is in the bag- EXCEPT it wasn't and we didn't get napkins. We're staying at a hotel and had to settle for tissues in our room. Overall this place was okay. read more

Went back to Chula Tacos on H Street in Chula Vista, CA, to try their carne asada tacos and they did not disappoint. The carne asada meat had that smokey taste like what to get at the Mexican taqueria stands in Mexico. We also ordered the pork Al Pastor tacos and were very delicious. Chula Tacos makes their own corn tortillas on the spot which makes the tacos taste even better. These tacos comes with a generous amount of guacamole. The service was great with enough indoor and outdoor seating. Location is near the H Street Trolley station next to Carl's Jr. Check it out! Happy Yelping :) read more

Stopped by Chula Tacos and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the regular tacos -- 2 asada and 2 al pastor -- plus an asada mulita, and everything was really good. The tacos were packed with meat (no skimping here), flavorful, and satisfying. They bring out three different salsas with your order, which was a nice touch, and all of them were solid and complemented the tacos well. The staff was friendly, courteous, and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. There's seating both inside and outside, so you've got options. They have music playing in the background which makes it lively The only downside is that parking is a little tight, but once you're inside, it's worth it. Overall, great food, generous portions, and good service -- I'll definitely be back read more

I saw this place on social media and I have been dying to go! You cant miss it! Once you pull up you'll see the smoke from them using the grill to cook their meats and you'll know your in the right place! The parking situation is pretty tight so good luck finding some where to park. I walked in and immediately thought the at was beautiful on the walls. It smelled so good inside and you could see the staff making fresh tortillas! There was plenty of seating both inside and outside. And the woman who took our order was very kind and patient with us. We ordered a Lamb Taco, an Al Pastor Mula, and the Gringa with Al Pastor and Carne Asada. The Lamb taco was so tender and juices, it was perfectly cooked! The Al Pastor Tacos were full of flavor and the corn tortilla was freshly mad which made for such a delicious bite! And the Grinda was a freshly made flour tortilla that pulled this giant taco together. I had to say. The carne asada was perfectly cooked! Not dry at all which is so common. I love carne asada but when it's done right and this is the best I've found in California so far! The green salsa was really good and the orange salsa they had on the table was also such a nice touch with a little bit of heat and some citrus. The guacamole on the tacos was a very generous amount but they don't add any seasoning in it so add lime and salt if you need to. And they brought us an extra bowl if limes with radish and cucumbers. We also got an horchata but it was a little too artificial for me. Good but very sweet. There's a large drink selection with other aquas too! Over all, Chula Tacos was amazing, super authentic and the food taste like it's made with love! I can't wait to go back! read more

Chula Tacos has recently opened their latest location in Chula Vista on H street. I love their al pastor tacos so I ordered a trio and $3.50 each. The tacos came doubled up with the mini corn tortillas as they should be. I like that they put on the hot griddle with a little bit of juice from the al pastor. The tacos were great! The came generously filled with freshly made guacamole and tender al pastor pork meat. The meat was delicious and the guacamole was well seasoned. The hot sauce that came on the tacos was tasty and offered a medium heat. The chopped white onions and cilantro that came on all three tacos were fresh. There's a good amount of inside seating, but parking can be tight during busy hours. Andrea at the counter was very nice and friendly when she took my order. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you with hot sauce bottles and a little basket with sliced limes and radishes. read more

Llegamos aquí al las 5:00pm y pedimos dos de asada y una Keka de adobada. Nos dicen no ay asada...... A Orale pues si acaba de abrir ase unos meses pues. Que mala onda la verdad. Vi mucha gente que se iva porque no avia de asada. Que mal. La Keka de adobada estaba mas buena que la Locación de Imperial beach en la Palm..... servicio rápido, pues no avia nadie. Y el lugar esta muy chiquito, casi no ay mesas adentro. Las mesas de afuera de madera están super sucias de quien sabe que alomejor de grasa. Que no apenas abrieron? Tan siquiera pónganle mantel porfavo... 7/10 read more

Quite disappointed after a friend recommended this spot and we finally made it! We got the al pastor keka, al pastor tacos, and pollo tacos since they don't offer carne asada yet!! I had no idea they didn't have it yet, otherwise I would've gone to the palm location. A space was fine, the service was fine, but the food just was bland. That meat was just OK, a little crispy than I expected, the guacamole was bland, the handmade tortillas were just OK. The big tortilla for the kicker seemed quite thick. I did like the thickness of the taco tortillas. Horchata was nice and fresh, not too sweet. I like the Horchata but at $4.50 and no refills, it's a bit pricy! Had to try my friend's recommendation though! read more

Ordered a tripas mula the meat wasn't as cooked as a would have liked more on the soft side but didn't taste the most clean to me. Then got a labio taco too wet and too much salsa for the fresh tortilla. Made it difficult for it to stay together. Would try again different meats but wasn't my favorite tbh read more

Came to chula tacos on a Sunday afternoon Tried the Keka de asada ( fire and filling !! ) Husband had tacos de tripa ( enjoyed the crunchiness ) Taco de labio ( it was aite ) And he had a keka de adobada. ( nasty ) Their asada is alright, the labio needed some more salt, tripas were good but the adobada? Not a fan. Something is missing as far as flavor. Again not a fan. We gave the place a solid 4. Salsas were good which is a good thing if ever the food is bland or flavorless and the salsas are good that's all u need to make ur food better. Would I try it again? Yes, I would give it another shot but next time I'm staying away from the adobada read more

Chula Tacos has recently opened a location in Chula Vista. It is located on H street close to the 5 freeway. There is plenty of seating. It is my third time there, the service has been great and the food has been very good. They are waiting for the city to give them the permit to start cooking the carne asada outside in the front. I will definitely be back to try it. read more

I finally tried Chula Tacos and let me just say... these tacos are absolutely bomb. And that's coming from a born-and-raised San Diego native and certified taco connoisseur. From the very first bite, I knew this place was different. The meat was insanely tender, juicy, and packed with flavor -- perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Every taco tasted fresh and homemade, not rushed or greasy like some spots can be. And the tortillas? So soft, warm, and fresh that they practically melted in my mouth. You can tell they really care about quality. But I have to talk about the horchata because WOW. Hands down the best horchata I've ever had in my life. Creamy, perfectly sweet, and so smooth nothing watered down or artificial about it. I honestly could've ordered three more cups. Living in San Diego, I've had tacos from just about everywhere, and I don't say this lightly -- these are by far the best tacos I've ever had. This spot just set the bar ridiculously high. Safe to say I'll definitely be back... probably very soon. read more

Ranking up in my top taco spot in Chula, none better than CHULA tacos in Chula Vista. At the time of this review, it was a soft opening. No carne asada during the construction period, they are building an outdoor cooking area for the carne asada, so they do not diminish the quality of their carne asada. The service was quick, friendly and very efficient. The food is truly amazing, and the Keka is the best around. With an amazing hand made tortilla. Will be coming back regularly. read more

Chula Tacos - Carne asada and al pastor taco - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I wanted to like this place since it's new, but it fell short. The cashier was rude, I asked if salsa was in the bag, she dismissively said yes, and when I got home there was none. The tacos weren't hot or fresh, and they charge extra for grilled onions and jalapeños, which I've never seen at any taco spot. Tacos el Prieto, which was here before, was much better. Save your money and go to Tacos el Gordo instead. Do not recommend. read more

Chula Tacos - They charge you $4 if you want grilled onions. - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Trued this place for the first time and this place is better than Tacos el Franc; Las Ahumaderas and others in the area. The portions are better than the other taco places and the hand made tortillas are bomb. I tried the carne asada mulita and their cheese is crispy and the meat has a nice smokey flavor. Also had a chicken taco and the taste was very nice and the tripas were on point! Again you need to try these as the prices are set right and portions are better than other taco places read more

Food was legit. I probably ordered more than I should have. Would recommend over Tacos El Gordo. Didn't wait long and the food was reasonably priced although tacos are getting more and more expensive these days. read more

I saw a foodie on insta review the place and the keka looked bomb, so my husband and I ventured over to Chula Vista and boy oh boy was it worth it! The taco itself was massive and the tortilla was fresh and hot. I personally love Al pastor so that's was I ordered and it was seasoned so well and cooked to perfection. Overall the whole experience was 10/10. The customer service was impeccable and the wait time was not bad at all for being the weekend. The quality of the meat and everything exceeded my expectations. I'll be back! read more

At least in my experience it wasn't a good time. The birria tacos had no flavor, the pastor was too greasy, and the tripa smelt and tasted dirty . The order taker wasn't in the best mood either. Seemed like didn't want to be there. I asked for not chile and got the response "you mean no salsa" same difference. Ambiance of the place was good though. Hopefully it was just my experience. read more

Amazing Kekas! Huge portions, Delicious food! This place is great, so happy it is close to home. I will.be stopping by often! I had Keka de asada! read more

First is very limited seating at this location. Second is the service as both cashiers on this visit seemed upset about being at work. Then you move on to the food. No carne asada available yet. The tripa was mid at best. The al pastor was cut in such thick chunks that it made it impossible to enjoy for our entire family. The birria seemed as though it was rushed and missing a lot of flavor. Can you mess up drinks? Yup. No horchata available and the coke sold in bottles was warm. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Back to the competitors for quality tacos. read more

Tacos were ok, meat was ok, guacamole was runny. $23 for 3 tacos, a horchata that was thick & gross & a Mexican coke. Overpriced as F. Then I wanted a cup of water, they won't give you water, another $2 for a Kirkland sig bottle of water. Crazy, never going back. Tacos El G is 100000x better than this spot read more

Came here b/c I heard tacos were amazing. I ordered a keka with al pastor and tripa mixed. Al pastor was super greasy. And tripa wasn't crispy as I thought it would be. My bf ordered all 5 tacos al pastor b/c he loves al pastor. But he was also disappointed saying it was so greasy he couldn't even finish them. Service was ok. The cashier didn't speak English l get it it's a Mexican joint but it just sucks when most of your workers don't speak English. Also they didn't have carne asada ! I wanted to try their carne asada but she just kept saying no no. So I'm assuming they don't serve that in this location just yet. Anywho I don't think I'll be returning. I'll just go right down the street to tacos el Gordo. I came to conclusion that nothing really beats tacos el Gordo al pastor. read more

The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this place. I can't wait to try the carnesada next time I go. read more

Friendly staff and very tasty Tacos. I really like the Keka Al Pastor with Corn tortilla read more

I asked for empty containers to take a little bit of the Salsa Macha to go since it's the only one that I like, they said they didn't have any so I took the green salsa container they gave me and threw it out and fill them up with the salsa macha (they never said anything about me not being able to take some!) once they saw me filling one up they came up to me saying I can't take any because it's policy, which I would've understood if they said that in the first place! I asked if I could buy it and they still said no. Such a weird experience, never had that happened to me before lol. Food is definitely worth it and super bomb tho! read more

Customer svc was terrible. Stood on line while cashier just looked around like a lost puppy and not busy. I order a. Horchata and was given a Jamaica. She never said sorry. I ordered 2 tacos no salsa or onion, husband ordered 3 tacos with guacamole on the side. He got the guacamole and I got mine on the side which mine was no big deal but his was. I explained to the waitress and nothing was done to correct it. They look.like they need customer svc classes and a reminder as to why they are here. Will not cone back. Oh and my tacos al pastor extremely greasy read more

Super Dry and over cooked, no flavor at all, and on top of that the guacamole was old and nasty! 8 tacos and no napkins salsa anything. Should have checked but I was in a hurry to get back to work! read more

I was very impressed. Ordered 2 tacos de pastor and 1 tripa taco. The tacos were big and full of meat and juicy and yummy. From 1 taco you could make 2 tacos. I will be back with the hubby next time. read more

They have the good kind of adobada, that's all I need lol. Similar texture and taste Tacos El Gordo, but has its own uniqueness. We tried the adobada, carne asada and tripas and enjoyed everything! The Keka is fairly priced for what you get. Clean and super nice workers! I liked their hot sauce too. read more
