Another amazing meal with the parentals after church today. The hubby and I changed it up a little bit..... No eggs for breakfast!! What we ordered: * Surf & Turf Quesadilla * Fish Taco Parentals order: * Belgian Waffle Combo * Mojarra A El Mojo De Ajo Staff has always been super friendly and welcoming. They automatically split our plate when I mentioned that the hubby and I were sharing.... So very nice of them. Everything here has great flavor. Great music & vibes too..... Great place to visit if you're in Chula Vista. read more

We have visited this restaurant a few times in the past and always had a great experience, which is why I confidently recommended it to my family. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different and extremely disappointing. Our waitress, Yesenia, provided very poor customer service from the beginning. She was rude, inattentive, and made us feel unwelcome. Some guests requested water and never received it. Our food did not come out at the same time, and several dishes were cold when served. I also specifically ordered hard shell tacos and instead received soft tacos. One thing we did enjoy was the shrimp cocktail, which was delicious. However, two people ordered it at the beginning of the meal, and only one received it on time. The other person did not receive their shrimp cocktail until about 15 minutes after everyone else had already received and started eating their meals. That delay made the dining experience even more frustrating. What made the situation even more upsetting was how mistakes were handled. One of my friends mentioned to Yesenia in Spanish that the service had not been good, but there was no apology or attempt to improve the situation. Later, while packing up uneaten food to-go, she dropped the food all over the floor and did not apologize or offer to replace it. I also spoke directly with the manager about our concerns. At first, he did not seem to understand me, even when I spoke in Spanish. Eventually he understood, but unfortunately there was still no apology, concern, or effort made to correct the situation. To make matters worse, our bill was approximately $172, and a tip of $24 was added despite the extremely poor service we received. It was embarrassing to bring my family to a restaurant I had spoken so highly about, only to have such a terrible experience. The service was absolutely horrible, and based on this visit, I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

This was our first time dining at La Sinaloense Mexican Seafood Restaurant in Chula Vista, CA. The restaurant opened five years ago in the middle of the pandemic. As soon as we walked in, the servers were very welcoming and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has beautiful Mexican pottery with plants and ceramic plates as decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the following dishes: *Molcajete Cielo, Mar y Tierra. Plate comes with rice and refried beans. The dish for some reason did not come in the hot stone "molcajete" like in the picture. My dad was looking forward to that presentation and was a bit disappointed but said he really enjoyed the chicken, steak and shrimp. The shrimp comes in a delicious creamy chipotle sauce. *Mojarra Frita Al Mojo De Ajo: Fried Tilapia in garlic butter sauce. The plate also came with rice and refried beans. *Fried Fish taco *Fried shrimp taco *Kids quesadilla plate *Michelada beer All of the dishes were delicious and good portion sizes. They gave us a taste of their homemade menudo in red sauce. The meat was very tender with a nice tasting broth. I'm definitely coming back for that soup and also try their breakfast menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor & outdoor seating with plenty of parking space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I rate this restaurant 4.5/5 stars. Definitely coming back! Give it a try! Happy Yelping :) read more

I called to order and a young woman answered. She seemed nice over the phone. She would conlude her sentences with an "okie dokie" which I thought was cute. I added that I didn't want the tacos soaked in cooking oil because that's how some placed serve them. But once I arrived, I found out that the price tag wasn't so cute! $32 (tax included) for four grilled fish facos! NO other Mexican seafood restaurant charges that much! So I asked the server (the same who answered the phone) how much were the taces a piece. She replied that she didn't know! Unbelievable! How could you not? Well, that's not the end of the story because when opened the container at home, I saw that the fish portions were small! Overall highway ROBBERY --DON'T patronize this place. Hable para ordenar y una joven contesto. Se me hizo agradable. Al terminar cada frase decia "okie dokie", cosa que se me hizo graciosa. Le dije que por favor no ba~en la tortilla de los tacos en aceite como hacen en unos lugares. Pero al llegar no se me hizo tan "graciosa" la cuenta que me salio en $32 por cuatro taquitos de pezcado a la plancha! NINGUN otro restaurante de mariscos mexicanos te cobra tanto! Le pregunte a la mesera (la misma que me contesto) que cuanto es el precio de cada uno y me contesto que no sabia!!! Digo, como es posible??? Pero la historia no termina ahi. Cuando llege a casa con mi orden descubri que las porciones de pezcada era pequ~as! Una mierdita de porcioncomo diria mi abuela (QDP). Esto fue un ROBO. NO patrozinen este restaurante! read more

If you want a spicy cocktail or one that has at least some lemon flavor to it. This is not the one. Very bland taste. I asked the girl who gave it to me if it came with chile or salsas and she said it had everything packed already. I opened it and it's just ketchup and mayonnaise lol. Don't recommend this place to go, maybe dining in is a better experience. read more

Rating is solely due to SERVICE that we received. This was my first time coming here. We came here for a birthday celebration & I believe it was karaoke night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing live singers, but it was SO obnoxiously loud I couldn't even hear my husband who was sitting right NEXT to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have their own private lot which was great because I try avoiding anywhere that has bad parking situations or overly crowded. It was somewhat a full house. Our party being the biggest group. I ordered a steak platter. Don't get me wrong, my food was great! I ordered it medium well & it was cooked to perfection. Flavorful, just chef's kiss. It also came with nopal, tortillas, a spoon of guac (literally 1 spoon), hella pico, panela, frijoles, & some fire papas. The papas had cheese & bacon. Soooo delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better dish. & honestly, wished our experience was better so I could continue to support this local business. [[HIGHLIGHT]]THE DOWNFALL - To begin, again, the music... Couldn't even hear my own thoughts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When the waiter was asking for my order I told her, "I can't hear you." She had the NASTIEST attitude & it showed. It was an older blondish curly haired lady. Not my goddamn fault you guys have everything on volume 100. She proceeded to point to her electronic ordering system while rolling her eyes. I literally ordered it on the system myself. When we went in, we asked if the bill could be split PRIOR to ordering anything & they said YES. Cool, easier for everyone. After they were so unorganized & obviously did NOT know how to handle a large party, they got orders confused & ended up putting everything on ONE bill. They proceeded to later tell us we could not pay separately making it even more complicated when they already seemed to be flustered. Keep in mind, this was AFTER they told us we could split the bill by parties. While looking at the receipt, there were items that no one ordered being charged. We spent 30mins trying to figure out the bill. Had they done what they originally said they were, it would've been a breeze. They ended up willing to split everyone's bill per party, therefore making things even WORSE. Because they did not know who ordered what. My husband & I shared the steak platter, a jamiaca, & two micheladas. Our bill came out to no more than $70. We were first in line to pay; my husband gave them cash & they did not tender any change. IT IS NOT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE HOW MUCH WE WANT TO TIP BY KEEPING OUR CHANGE. If they were concerned about tip, they should have their own policies about large parties, gratuities, & enforcing split bills. My husband didn't say anything & I was outside because everything was giving me a headache. Had I been inside I would've asked for it back myself. But my husband let it go. Whatever, if they need it more than us. Lol. That's why you get paid hourly & it's not a requirement to tip. Although we always do, even if service is SHITTY. But again, not up to a waiter to decide. If you don't like your job or rely solely on tips, find a different job paying more! Once we paid, we stood outside in the parking lot waiting for the rest of our party. I'm not sure what happened after we went outside since we were the first to pay - but the other black-haired waitress, also older shouted profanities outside to us while inside the restaurant & we were standing in parking lot. Couldn't hear her clearly to make out what she said. Loved the food but not somewhere I'd be willing to spend money at after the horrible experience. BAD SERVICE, RUDE WAITERS, NASTY ATTITUDES, UNORGANIZED. DO NOT RECOMMEND & WOULD NEVER COME BACK. read more

My favorite restaurant for Mexican seafood in SD (the meat is also great, I just don't eat much anymore). I love their fish platters (the Veracruz is my favorite), tostada de pescado, and aguachile. They also make a great shrimp with chipotle crema burrito, which is perfect when you just want comfort food. My husband and friends love the meat molcajete.The portions are huge - the plates definitely feed two people, so be prepared when you order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a lot of seating and a nicely-sized parking lot, making it very convenient to stop by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like to sit outside since the music is always very loud, but sitting inside looks fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff have always been really nice about lowering the volume on the patio when asked. Lastly, the staff genuinely cares about their community and is a great place to support. I've seen them provide free meals to the homeless, and their staff members are incredibly friendly. read more

Guests are greeted as they step into restaurant, and seated with menus, chips and delicious salsa. My mom an I shared a taco and enchilada combination plate. Bothe of us were served a noodle and tomato based soup to start. When entree arrived, extra plates and utensils were brought too. Our plate included beans, rice, nopales, guacamole and large taco and enchilada. Taco had at least 6 shrimp and enchilada was loaded with cheese and had a delicious sauce. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is constantly changing, renovations, events, decor, staff[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a consistent menu for a while and we enjoyed every visit, was our go to spot for some good seafood tacos but we were disappointed the last 2 visits We now notice multiple times we have had new servers and regular faces are gone :( and we are over charged for kids menu items at full price. This is now the 3rd time with the staff telling us they can't fix it cause they already brought the adult portion out when we mention the kids menu at ordering. Seems like a sneaky way to raise their ticket sales, and just play dumb and avoid the table after that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thankfully the ambience is more enjoyable but we are in no rush to come back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I go here often for great posolé. It's often busy but especially weekends for breakfast. The posole is served with ample spices and garnishes. Bone in short rib, lots of hominy, so filling! On of my favorite places for posolé. It's a casual restaurant, not fancy, average noise, somewhat tight quarters, simple decor, beer and cocktails. Definitely recommend the food! read more

The food is very delicious. Just be ready for a long wait they make you go through three different people before you can order.

Food great but noise and Music so loud you can't talk or enjoy your visit. We asked to lower the volume and they got bothered. Even the waitress said to please make a complaint because they don't care and don't even try to make it comfortable while you spend money. The food very good but the owner and Manager were like we don't care.

This place is horrible. I was harassed aggressively in the parking lot by one of the staff members there. He was yelling at me over parking and preceded to approach me at my vehicle. I was alone and a women at night. I managed to get into my car and he refused to move out of my way so I could exit driveway so I started yelling at him and he punched my windows repeatedly until I pulled out my pepperspray and sprayed him. I immediately left as I was scared and alone. I then called the business to make a report and they said call tomorrow and hung up on me. read more

They use precooked shrimp and just added "garlic sauce", rice had a very nasty flavor, guacamole was mainly tomato their best thing on my plate were the beans. My husband ordered shrimp and octopus soup and came with unpeeled shrimp with head on, he asked flour tortillas and got corn. Service was OK, nothing to brag about while waitress was drinking with 2 guys watching the mariners VS Detroit game.
