    Enjoyed the atmosphere and the view was spectacular. Food good, not great, and priced right. Much need rest stop before we walked down to the blow hole

    I wanted to love it better but the flavors were not there. The tortillas on the tacos didn't do it…read morefor me. Partner said the birria tacos were better than others because of the juice, softening the tortillas. I LOVE cochinita pibil but the only authentic part of this recipe was the pickled red onions- didn't taste like cochi; disappointing for sure. Birria tacos also didn't have the correct spices and flavors for me. The tortilla soup was good - it didn't need any extra protein - in fact would have been better without the added chicken we upgraded to. The side of onion rings were just okay. They are breaded versus battered so not to my liking. With so many excellent options in La Chapu area, I have to drop the ranking. I chose this place based on other yelp reviews but this was a miss for me. Upon reflection, the Yelp 5 star reviews are all from 6 years ago, hopefully the owners see this and decide to up their standard. I don't like to give a poor review but it's understandable now why the restaurant was empty on a Friday evening. Partner liked the onion rings, soup, Jamaica and the birria tacos.

    This little spot never disappoints! Burger with Tortilla…read moreSoup and Agua Fresca! My favorite combo is: Norteño Burger- Ground beef with marinated flank steak, caramelized onions, grated cheese, lettuce, and house dressing, inside fresh artisan bread.

    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.

    My Hubby and I was excited check this place out since Guy Fieri had been here plus recommended it…read more It pretty spacious inside. Lots of seating. They carry a wide range of drinks that pairs well with any of the meals you get. The have a nice salsa bar too. The staff is super nice and helpful. Every time we had a question, they were quick on answering and assisting where things were. ...and now the food, their 3 Mini Carne Asada Tacos were good. I had better flavorful tacos, but these were decent. One thing I will say is you get a lot of meat which is awesome because you can make an extra taco or two. The Salsas is where the flavor is at and I enjoyed all of them. My Hubby got the Chili Verde Plate, I did not try it, but it looked delicious and was a lot of food.

    I'm so mad about this place!! Hubby and I headed down to SD…read moreto get away from the heat in the OC. On the drive, I decided I wanted Mexican food. I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)
