    Strawberry Raspadonplus condensed milk!
    Tavelle A.

    If you want it they got it! If they don't have it just ask and they can hook it up. This fruteria is a God send to be smack in the middle of lemon grove! Once you step inside you have literally crossed the boarder the music is loud and the Tostilocos are packed to the brim!!! If you haven't done so do it soon before the summer rush comes!! We love El Rinconcito!!!

    What i got

    Grub hub order , Got outta work ordered from grub hub and got that completely wrong order.Ordered 3 items and they sent 2 The orders where no where near what i ordered i lost money never again will i order from this place !i tasted that peach thing it tasted old tire flavor i couldnt eat the chips cuz they had penuts ! Wasted my time and money , Learn to read and check your orders before sending them out ! You pay your employees more than $20'and hour just so they screw something up so easy and ruin your reputation!

    This is my second time coming here. So far the ceviche and Tostilocos are delicious. This time I got mini pancakes, ceviche and torta de lomo. The food here is delicious and good pricing.

    Churritos

    The smoothies taste fantastic, real life smooth to the taste the service was pleasant and the price was nice for the large size smoothie, it's a small spot with nice Decor all around good vibes.

    Chamango

    I'm glad we found this little hidden fruteria next to the Lemon Grove Liquor Store. The chamango was so good. They don't skimp on the chamoy. Worth the wait time. Fruit salad was also yummy. If you happen to like papaya though, you can ask them to add it.

    Aguachile Verde

    I got the green aguachile and it was pretty good but had a little more veggies than shrimp and there wasn't that much in the container . Service was good food was fresh would try it again though. Everyone else's orders looked delicious also.

    Fruit Salad
    Joy P.

    I had a fruit salad, it had banana, apple, mango, melon, pineapple, strawberries, cottage cheese, honey and granola. The fruit was not very fresh, especially the mando and banana. The employees were courteous.

    Fish Tacos

    Everything was delicious! The owner is so friendly and took care of us, but this is a hidden gem!

    Açaí Bowl
    Andrew P.

    Portioning for the fruit and granola is a joke. It looks like I got 3 strawberry's half a banana and watered down açaí. For $13 after tax? I don't recommend!

    I'm so happy I found this place! If you're in Lemon Grove, even if you're not, this is a hidden gem for sure! They have the perfect thirst quenchers for these hot summer days. We were burning up today and wanted some ceviche and this place popped up on Yelp. We were not disappointed. We orders the mango smoothie( mangoneada), ceviche tostadas, tostilocos and coctel de camaron. Omg the shrimp cocktails were soooooo good full of flavor and just made your mouth water. It's a little hidden but this place should be packed everything is good here!!

    Food is okay and inexpensive. I sometimes go here when I am not sure what I want. It could use a…read morelittle more flavor IMO. I definitely go here out of convenience though because it is close to where we live!

    Lol all the reviews here about the rude girl working the cashier in front is a bit relatable. Well…read moreshe wasn't rude to me but she was just short and looked like she had a stank attitude and hated her job but that could just be her face. She took my order and was straight to the point; no frills or thrills so no complaints on my part. It's convenient that they're open 24/7 but since there are in a shared plaza in the middle, there's no drive thru making you have to go inside. I like how there was an open salsa bar with different options of hot sauces ranging from mild to spicy. They even have hot carrots, jalapeños, and radishes out for free which is a winner to me! They do have a sign limiting you to 3 sauces per person and that they have cameras watching lol. The service was super quick I was still getting my hot sauces when the food was already done to my surprise. As for the food itself ehh it was okay. Their cheese quesadilla was a little on the burnt side. Their rolled tacos and asada nachos came with everything which included guac, pico, sour cream, lettuce so that was a plus for me not to order any extras since some just come with the basic cheese. They were both good.

    This was our second time here, this time for brunch! We got the burrito and the queso fundido…read more OMG!! The queso fundido was sooooo amazing! I definitely want to get it again in the future. The burrito was so good as well. I was not too fond of the agave syrup drizzle as I don't like mixing sweet and savory, but if that's your thing, go for it! Eventually I only had room for the filling, so that was nice and savory. The cafe de olla was delicious as well. I REALLY commend this restaurant for not using AI graphics. The signs and menu looked like they were designed by a real designer. Great job! My only complaint was that the table next to us had an iPad kid with loud volume. I feel that restaurants should impose policies of not letting personal devices be so loud as to not bother other patrons.

    We had a 6pm restaurant but still wound up having to wait until 6:15 for our table to be ready…read more Which was no big deal, because they were very busy that night and they had a nice little waiting area. The host was very nice and personable so we didn't mind waiting at all. The decor/ambiance was nice throughout. Sadly we got seated at one of the bar height tables on the patio that had EXTREMELY uncomfortable tall metal chairs that had an unusual tilt to the seats leaning down towards the back (all 3 people in our party were super uncomfortable and left with horrible back back and numb legs). So just a tip, make sure you request to sit at a normal height table, they seemed fine in comparison as far as we observed. On a positive note, our waitress was very friendly and attentive, unfortunately we were not able to change tables when we asked but we understood because they were so busy. We were determined to make the best of it though because we were all really looking forward to the food and drinks after reading so many good reviews. We all ordered different specialty drinks which were fine, a little to syrupy and overly sweet for our taste but I could see how some might like that, the presentation was seriously lacking compared to the photos on their website though, again we just chalked this up to them being busy so no big deal, just a bummer because we wanted to cute tasty drinks for our ladies night out. The biggest bummer though was the food... We ordered everything our waitress recommended, so perhaps the kitchen was just having an off night because they were so busy.. It did take well over an hour to get served after ordering, but we are troopers and wouldn't have minded waiting so long if the chairs hadn't been so uncomfortable. But we were seriously disappointed with every dish, everything was "fine and edible" but lacked any real flavor. These are the dishes we had: Appetizer - Tabla de Antojitos (presentation was okay) platter included: Chicken barbacoa empanadas (very bland) Sweet potato, caramelized onion & chipotle taquitos (flavorless and used regular potato not sweet potato) Mini queso fundido (was literally just cheese and beans with no chorizo or seasoning at all) Bacon wrapped jalapenos (these were okay, just nothing special) Entrees - Enchiladas Marisco Suiza - Presentation was good, it was a pretty dish thanks to the sauce and looked promising, but unfortunately the food was very bland, seriously lacking in the flavor department. Birria de la Abuela - Presentation was lacking it looked like someone just threw the food on the plate, and it was edible but not good. Crispy Carnitas - This we all agreed was the most edible thing we got. Presentation was lacking, but the beans and carnitas had good flavor and was cooked just right. It still wasn't "great", but it was better than everything else we had ordered. Overall we were pleased with the staff we encountered during our visit all very friendly, but very disappointed in the food. We left in agreement that we could've spent a fraction of the cost at just about any of our local friendly taco shops for the same or similar dishes and had much better tasting food.

    Chuy's Taco Shop has been on my Yelp Want To Go list for some time because it was featured on Guy…read moreFieri's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives (DDD), it has a high Yelp rating, and there are thousands of customer reviews on their Yelp page. I've also heard rave reviews from family and friends. Since we were suit shopping at Fashion Valley and were hanging out with my son and his girlfriend, I recommended that we eat at Chuy's for lunch. If you're a fan of value for your money and tasty Mexican food, I definitely recommend dining here. 4.5 stars for sure, but I'm glad our go to Mexican food spot, Yesenia's, is closer to us and we can visit there for amazing Mexican food as well. Chuy's Taco Shop is located in Rolando, which is close to El Cajon Blvd. and the San Diego State University area. The easiest way to get here would be the 8 freeway east or west, exiting off of 70th Street, and heading south. The taco shop is located within a small strip mall where you can find Ben & Esther's Vegan Jewish Deli, San Diego Blenders Smoothies, and Moxie Theatre. It's across the street from a tire shop. From the outside, it looks like a typical local San Diego Mexican fast food joint, but you can immediately tell that the owners are proud of their accolades displaying Guy Fieri's DDD mug and Yelp's 2025 Top 100 Places To Eat distinction on its front glass window. As you step inside, you'll see several homages to Guy Fieri of DDD fame with a framed signed picture, another framed signed pic with Guy's caricature, and one of their televisions showing the DDD episode featuring Chuy's. There's a good amount of tables and chairs to dine in, several televisions, distressed laminate wood flooring, and accolades hanging on their walls that the restaurant has garnered. Friendly and professional customer service from the lady behind the register, who also doubled as our server. Not sure anything can be done about this, but flies also liked Chuy's food as we had to keep fanning our food. I've been blessed to eat at several DDD restaurants throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona and I have enjoyed every single one I dined at. Having eaten at Chuy's Taco Shop for the first time, I understand why Guy Fieri did a segment here. What I really appreciated about Chuy's was their value for your money. When you dine here, be prepared for large portions, so definitely come hungry. Whenever I eat at any Mexican fast food spot, I order the same go to items that my family and I order at our favorite restaurant Yesenia's. Since I was breaking bread with my wife, son, and his girlfriend, we ordered the following: two carne asada burritos; five rolled tacos with cheese, guacamole, and lettuce; full order carne asada chips; half order of carne asada fries; and a pineapple agua fresca. I wanted to compare what we typically order from Yesenia's. When you eat at Chuy's, the amount of food you get will feed an army. I didn't expect the carne asada burritos to be the length of my forearm. I got to eat some of my son's and it was delicious and satisfying. The star of our meal were the rolled tacos. It was stuffed full with tasty beef, crunchy, and its components were memorable. We barely touched the carne asada chips because we ordered too much, but they aren't stingy with their carne asada both for the chips and their fries. The half order of carne asada fries were plenty and I enjoyed that dish. The pineapple drink was refreshing and helped beat the toasty weather. I still feel Yesenia's is better quality, but for the amount of food at Chuy's, it's a must visit Mexican restaurant. I'm glad I got to finally experience Chuy's Taco Shop and check off another Guy Fieri featured DDD restaurant. If I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by to try their other menu items, but I'm glad our fave Mexican fast food spot is closer to us to satisfy our Mexican food cravings.

    Came here on Tuesday and to my surprise they had a taco Tuesday deal. You can get 3 mini tacos for…read more$10.99 along with a canned drink. The con is that all three tacos have to be the same meat, you cannot mix and match. The tacos are filled with a lot of meat and each taco is has a double tortilla and I felt that you could essentially turn one taco into two with the portion. My boyfriend got a burrito and it was massive - as big as my fore arm! He really enjoyed it and it had a lot of meat inside. We also got a horchata which was refreshing for the heat but pretty sweet. The place was great for a quick lunch. You order at the counter before self seating and then they bring the food out when it's ready. They have a huge menu with a lot to choose from. They also have a salsa bar with about 4 different salsas, but my complaint is that none of them are spicy enough.
