Randomly stopped by this spot for lunch and it was delicious! The restaurant is pretty small, but there is both indoor and outdoor seating available. The menu is hugeee and the food was delicious! Plenty of free parking available in the lot. Staff were all very welcoming. Only problem I had was my ceviche came out after I finished my tacos... which is weird since they didn't have to cook it. Otherwise, I'd come back to try more things on the menu. Food review: 2 hard tacos combo plate: (4/5) I ordered 1 carne asada and 1 potato taco. The meat was a little dry. The rice and beans were delicious! Fish ceviche tostado: (5/5) This was so fresh and delicious! You get a pretty big portion. Definitely enough to share. read more

Excellent food and Customer Service. Nice location. Love to eat outside under a beautiful tree and bring my dog outside. The food is great. I've had lots of things on the menu and been happy with every single one. I go here at least once a week. read more

Owners and staff at Vega are always helpful. Portions and price are good. Food is tasty. We usually get a torta combo with their potato wedge fries and a fresh juice. They have different sauces to pair with the fries too. Support local. Nice family run business. Known them and frequented for more than... maybe 15 years?.. they have expanded and have several locations now too. read more

Vega Caffe is a gem in Eastlake. This small but hidden dining spot has been here for years! I was introduced over 13 years ago to Vega Caffee (well overdue review) by a good friend. They have a HUGE and vast menu abut don't be alarmed, unlike many places -- the food here is QUALITY. A torta, esquites or rolled tacos are delicious. The aguas frescas are great too! Pricing is spot on-not expensive at all. Don't skip out on it. Parking is plentiful since it's close to all the kids amusement parks (Ninja Factory, Party City). read more

Had the tropical salad today: great choice. Delicious fresh fruit, small size had plenty of food, fresh ingredients. read more

My goodness...... the BEST breakfast burrito I have ever had ‼ And I love me a breakfast burrito. I stopped in earlier today with my man and we noticed the menu was different (we hadn't been there in a few months lol) so we were observing the menu... I don't remember the gentlemans name who came to help us but he had AMAZING customer service, super sweet guy. We ordered the breakfast burrito, fresas con crema and red chilaquiles with eggs and my man and I both enjoyed our food so much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT ‼ thank you guys for amazing service AND food read more

Place is tucked away in the plaza. Not very aesthetic, but entrees look delicious. Great place to get a grab and go meal, but I ended up dining in. It didn't take long to get what I ordered and the cook is very happy to be there. He makes it know and his happiness is very contagious and I like it. I would definitely revisit this place again. read more

My go to lunch spot when I'm looking for a fruit salad, bagels, or tortilla soup. They have such a wide and varied menu but don't be scared by it! Salads are amazing, as well as their tortas. My go to's here would be carne asada torta. Always warm with that crunchy bread. Bagels, soft, toasty, and plenty of cream cheese. Tortilla soup to accompany them &/or a fruit salad! I've been going here for years since I was a child and the staff remember my order every time. It's nice knowing they care about their customers. Tables and bathrooms are always clean when I come in. I love coming here for some comfort food. read more

This spot needs more attention than it's getting because it is insanely good. I found Vega Caffe on Google and almost didn't go because I thought it was a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Don't let the name fool yall, there is something for everyone here! The cubana torta was absolutely life changing. I honestly didn't know what to expect but what I got, incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more read more

Wasn't too impressed with this place. It was okay, the Mexican mocha was average, and overpriced for the small cup I received. I was tired and needed my morning caffeine. I hadn't been here, so I decided to give them a try. After looking at the menu, I saw that they had lattes for $4.35 and blended coffee drinks for $6.50. I ordered the latte and was asked if I wanted it hot or cold. I said cold and was then told it was $7 and some change. I looked back at the menu and looked at the prices again. I was confused with the price I was given, seeing that I did not want it blended. Asked about the price and was told I'm paying for the ice and all cold drinks are the same. It didn't specify on the menu, however I opted for a hot Mexican mocha. I received my tiny cup and was a little disappointed. It was hot however tasted more like watered down chocolate milk than a latte. Oh well, live and learn. I was expecting a cafe to specialize in coffee items, but I was wrong here. read more

Vega Caffe Mexican Deli - Mexican Mocha- small $4.35 - Delis Near Me - Chula Vista, California

We stopped by this new restaurant after an event at Petco Park, and they had their Grand Opening recently. They offer a variety of menu items: Mexican, including birria tacos and the quesabirria (cheese with beef). My husband had the roast beef sandwich - the owner and chef said - "Adding the cucumber adds an element of crunch to it." He likes it - bread was good and it was satisfying. Had two birria street tacos-they were accompanied by cilantro and onions, so delicious! Loved the texture and flavor. Also had the $10 small fruit salad. Bigger than small-had a cottage cheese and coconut topping over cantaloupe, papaya, strawberries, and banana. They also offered açaí bowls - so think açaí bowl without açaí. It was a good complement to the tacos. My mom-in-law had fish tacos and sister-in-law had the flair as and a cup of tortilla soup. Yum! Overall, pretty pleased. For drinks, besides Coca-Cola products they have smoothies. If you are short/petite, the booths are tallish, we were like little kids with our feet off the floor. read more

Vega Caffe Mexican Deli - Spinach and Mushroom Omelet - Delis Near Me - Chula Vista, California

First time coming to this food place. My wife and I enjoy trying different restaurants in our neighborhood and this one piqued our interest. I love how they have a variety of options to choose from, whether you're someone that likes a deli sandwich, to someone who wants some Mexican food. My wife and I tried the California burrito, mainly because we like them and it is hard to mess one up. The size of the burrito was good, not massive but also not small. It was enough to completely fill you up for lunch. They packed it with well seasoned asada. The employees made us feel very welcomed, and even asked as we sat down if we wanted water cups. Customer service was top knotch. Now, onto why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Honestly, I would give this place 5 stars just on customer service alone. However, as for quality of food goes, the asada was a little too salty for our enjoyment. We did finish the burrito, but the saltiness was a bit overbearing. The salsa, although good, seemed a little low on the flavor factor and was more spice than taste. Other than these two things, if they were tweaked, I would have to say that they're California burrito would be a top contender in all of San Diego. read more

I went to this place this morning for the first time because I have been searching for a great breakfast burrit in my neck of the woods and I have found it!!! No more driving up to California burritos to get my fix. Lol so glad I found this gem! It's a small but cozy place. They also have other food I must try. The service was good, the cashier was nice and they even have the card to get stamps on if you frequent the place. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

One Sunday after church wife and I were a bit hungry since we left home without eating breakfast which as you know is the most important meal of the day !! We are in the Eastlake area and had been wanting to try this small deli.Well today was the day ! We drove a few minutes up to the place and went in .Right away the familiar smell of Mexican food plus sound of ethnic ( Mexican) music was quietly playing. We reviewed the menu and stopped at menudo but not just any menudo this was my favorite white menudo . For all us purist's out there white menudo can be fixed to our liking.There are plenty of other choices there and I will get to them later but for now this is the best white menudo soup around except for my moms !! read more

Vega Caffe Mexican Deli - Carne asada torta. - Delis Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Was looking for a place to eat and found this little business in the corner of the shopping center. Parking is pretty good and there's a lot of open spaces but on Sundays it is a little difficult. Once you arrive you see the menu options up top above the register. There is a lot to choose from and the business is somewhat clean. I ended up ordering the Surf & Turf burrito meal and a Adobada Taco. It all ended up being around $16 which is a little pricey. I got the food around 10-15 minutes later after sitting down. The taco was the first thing I tried. It had no flavor and was bland. I don't recommend it. As for the burrito, the meat was chewy and felt like I had pieces of cartilage and the rice inside also had no flavor. I was a little disappointed. After I cleaned up and returned the salsas I went to wash my hands but there were no towels to dry my hands. I had to use my pants and just left a little agitated with the overall experience. read more

Asked for a white mocha, which is on the menu under espresso drinks, and there was no coffee in it

Fire just with the chai was a little more chai-y if that's a word lol. Other than great!

Okay, street Tacos!! The best that I have on this side of the border. Adobado, carne Asada, or pollo Asada muy muy delicioso!! Very very good. There red hot sauce is litteral lava but the green sauce, is tasty and just the right amount of heat to give the already perfect street tacos a little kick. If you're being brave and doing the red sauce. Vega Cafe has the best smoothies for a hot day or if you're feeling like something light. There staff recommended Pineapple and papaya smoothie is just, (in Tagalog, Masarap!!). Memorably impressionable and will make you remmeber where you got it. The food is second to the service. I love supporting a business that remembers me. This place makes me feel comfortable and it's so close to my work. Thank you for being here and being professional and quick. Thank you and don't ever change! read more
