Had the carne asada plate and chicken tacos. The carne asada plate was 7.0 out of 10. The beans were a bit dry, the rice felt like it was refrigerated, and the car was good. Good amount of food, did enjoy the chicken tacos. Food overall was okay-good Not bad but didn't stand out read more

A random Mexican spot in SD will always be better than anything in LA. This proves it. 5/5 food Really really tasty hard shell taco. Loved the shredded chicken. My wife told me the best burrito she had eaten was the surf and turf that we just ate. Their salsa... Spicy! 5/5 service Very friendly and always refilled the free chips. I'm never in Chula Vista but if I am, I'd come back 4/5 ambience Feels authentic but is small and on the older side read more

Great food. Chill atmosphere. Outdoor seating. Salsa has good kick. Our server seems to run the place, and she's very sweet. read more

My husband and I came down to Chula Vista for the weekend and made a stop for dinner here at El Huevo Estrellado as it was walking distance from where we were staying. My husband was craving some asada fries, they were on the menu, and so we took the walk. Maybe it was just the time of day, but they were way quieter than anticipated; for most of our meal, my husband and I were the only people in the restaurant besides the manager who was also our server, and one other employee. The restaurant was slightly dim, there was music, everything had a really low-key vibe. That being said, the service was unmatched (undivided attention for the win) but the food was even better. We ordered the chicken flautas and an order of carne asada fries. Everything was super fresh; the flautas were hot and crispy, with well seasoned and tender chicken inside. The carne asada fries were some of the best we have ever had (and we have had many carne asada fries), with a super generous amount of melty cheese, meat, sour cream, and guacamole. We doused everything in their house salsa, which was really flavorful with a healthy dose of heat. If we had a fridge in our room, we would have bought some to take with us. The price point was perfect, the food was fantastic, and the service was solid. I very highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some low-key and authentic Mexican food. We will definitely be back. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. The decor inside is Spartan, but that's OK. The seating is also minimal, and those hard chairs makes themselves known before long. I was seated very quickly, to be expected, given there was only one other diner in the restaurant at 11:45 AM. There seemed to be a brisk To-Go order business, just very few diners. A small portion of tortilla chips and salsa were served right away. The salsa was a bit watery, but had some bite to it. The chips were cold, but fresh. I ordered the Carnitas Burrito ($11.25). It was not as large as many other Mexican restaurants serve, but it was plenty enough for lunch. It was presented very nicely on a square white plate with a garnish of cilantro, carrot and lettuce. It was tasty, but I bet in a blind taste test, it may not be recognized as Mexican food. The meat was delicious, but there was virtually no spiciness to it. Plus all the guacamole was in one end. The service was fine, but the server was not exactly overworked. I'd like to come back to try a combo meal, and get a better perspective of the offerings here. Or maybe a breakfast burrito. The restaurant is located in a strip center fronting Broadway, just south of E Street, and has ample parking. About half of the available seating is under a cover outdoors. read more

Absolutely recommended. Delicious food and the nicest people. Great way to start any day. There are so many places nearby to explore while visiting the area, but we may go here again just because it was so good. read more

Absolutely NO flavor. Do NOT recommend. We had the machaca breakfast burrito and chilaquiles breakfast plate.

Everything about this place is excellent!!! It's a shame I've passed by this place so many times & hadn't tried it yet. Honestly from the outside it doesn't look like much. But this hole in the wall is exactly what I've been looking for. The service is so wonderful. They go above & beyond. Fast & friendly. It's what most places lack these days. This type of service. The food was absolutely delicious! My kids loved their Chilaquiles Verdes. They ate their whole late. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a while. The inside is cute and simple. It may not look like much but everything else is so impressive that the aesthetics just go with a homey feel. My family & I loved it! We will be back. Highly recommend!! read more

Quaint little restaurant on the corner of Broadway and E Street in Chula Vista. They have a covered patio seating area also if you feel like sitting outside. I went there for breakfast I ordered three eggs scrambled with beans and rice. The beans were excellent creamy but not watery, the rice was flavorful I really enjoyed the meal in fact I left the plate clean. I will be going back to try some of their lunch and dinner plates. read more

I was craving flautas and luckily found this awesome hole in the wall through Yelp. I popped in and ordered the beef flautas combo and a couple chicken hard shell tacos to-go. The food was fantastic- fresh, delicious, and tasted like having dinner at my best friend's mom's house. The great food was also met with warm service. Even though ordering to-go, they offered me chips and salsa while I waited. If I didn't have to get back home so soon, I would've loved to eat right there. Anyway, it looks like the restaurant also serves an amazing breakfast which I fully intend on trying in the near future. read more

Right away I noticed the fresh egg and hot ingredients inside. Real eggs too! Not over cooked like a lot of places can be. The salsas are also good, though I felt they could've been a bit spicier and concentrated. Overall: This will be one of my go-to spots for breakfast burritos in SD. Great spot read more

Service was great, food was blah, nothing special. Sat in the covered area in the parking lot, which had a nice breeze. Worst part was taking my 4 year old to use the restroom, the sink only has scalding hot water. My son badly burned his hands. Restroom was used as storage with an old toilet and miscellaneous supplies. Super dangerous and needs to be fixed. read more

This was my first visit today and I'll definitely be back. Located off Broadway, this little Mexican restaurant has about 5 tables but just completed an addition that adds another couple tables. Low key decor with a TV playing in the dining area. Pedro greeted us and recommended the Albondigas, which I ordered. My companion ordered the Taco & Enchilada plate that came with rice and beans. The albondigas was good and came with large chunks of carrot, Mexican squash, peppers, onions and a side plate of rice. I'm a huge fan of albondigas. It looks like they focus on breakfast here so I'll probably be back for breakfast. read more

I've been here about 3xs now. I found it on Yelp & decided to give it a go. The micheladas, music, & ambiance are good. The food itself is ok. It's not the best, but also not the worst. Pretty mediocre. We would still come here again. Lol. Service is alright. It should be quicker w/ not so much traffic at the times we've went. They give you complimentary chips & salsa prior to ordering. The salsa is pretty good. They just recently opened another section for outdoor dining. I'm assuming they might get some sorta traffic. The inside itself is pretty small. Good place to come chill & have a few drinks. read more

I had pretty high hopes for an outstanding lunch last week at El Huevo Estrellado. The Yelp reviews were mostly super positive, and the staff was very friendly. But the food was pricey and just not all that special. With so much competition around, you would think that every place in town would want to make a mark, and not just be another taco shop. So I ordered the one of the shrimp platters with no rice and no cheese. The shrimp was well cooked and tasty, although a few more would have been nice, and the beans were solid. This came with corn tortillas that were hot and soft and very tasty. They might have been the highlight of the meal. I am sure that this platter is more attractive when rice was added and the beans wore a crown of cheese. But I don't eat these things, so have to judge the food I receive on its merits. The bottom line is that the food was good, but nothing special. I will come back because the service was exceptional, and would like to try some other items on their menu! read more

Came here because they still have outdoor dining.. conveniently located in a great strip mall with a sushi,, thai and middle eastern restaurant and Mexican bakery. The customer service is excellent. Was greeted as soon as we sat and handed menus. They still have the code on the table as well... Decided to try the chicken mole with horchata and munchkin got the carne asada tacos with a sprite. I forgot the horchata is a bit bland for my taste buds (I like cinnamon) but after getting the salsa, I was glad. This time the chips and salsa were in normal containers. I was surprised that the chicken was in more of strips but glad that it was cooked perfectly and the mole sauce was light and not over powering but flavorful. The rice and beans were still flavorful and a 5/5. Munchkin said some of his carne pieces tasted burnt/overcooked and said it would've been a 4/5 but with the burnt pieces it brought the flavor/taste down a bit. Mind you he still ate both tacos with a few pieces of carne left on the plate. read more
