    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.

    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

    Mexican Mocha- small $4.35
    Andrea V.

    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.

    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.

    Not what I was expecting Fries with no taste The guacamole on the carne asada fries already tasted like old My kids love fries from anywhere but here They not even ate them I just ate the carne instead of throwing it away

    I love that this place is a hidden gem. I will always go out of my way to come here. I've brought many friends and family here over the years and they always want to come back! Pros: Large parking lot Service is impeccable Fast, friendly Portions are healthy and... Everything is delicious, trust me- omelets, breakfast bagels, coffees, agua fresas breakfast burritos, acai bowl, etc etc you name it it's good! Cons: none!

    I normally don't get jimmy johns, but the pregnant lady on tiktok made one sandwich go viral and I…read morehad to try it. The sandwich itself did not disappoint. It's a #11 with peppers, bacon added, no mayo and kickin ranch instead. The sandwich tasted dry to me. I think I should eat it fresh next time because we waited until we got home. So I can't comment on the ambiance. I will say I love how they have online ordering available! I will definitely return as I am a sandwich girly.

    I was recommended to this sandwich shop by my daughter who loves it and is a regular customer. I…read moredecided to drive to Otay Ranch and give it a try. It is a refreshing change from the rest of the sandwich shops. Upon walking in the door, I noticed a clean and tidy little sandwich shop. I was greeted by a friendly cashier who was very welcoming to me. I ordered a tuna sandwich with a bag of chips and a bottled water. The sandwich had a plentiful amount of provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and tuna. The flavor was so tasty too. I decided to try a side of the cherry peppers they have available to place on my sandwich. What a great kick of flavor it gave my tuna sandwich! The chips were the perfect accessory to my sandwich! If you want a change of pace, a great variety of sandwiches to choose from bursting with awesome flavor come to Jimmy John's where your taste buds will thank you! Thank you Jimmy for creating such an award-winning sandwich chain bringing it to California! Love it' #jimmyjohns #yelpsandiego #sandiegoeats

    I've ordered at this location before and never had any issues. Tonight, I called in my order (giant…read more$19.75 Philly cheese steak). I wanted wheat bread, but the person mentioned that they only had white bread left and asked if it was alright. I had no other choice , but to say yes. My husband picked the sandwich up and when we started to eat, we felt for a $20 sandwich, it didn't have enough meat. We payed $20 for bread with little meat. Not what I expected. What's going on Jersey Mikes???

    Dear Jersey Mike's ,…read more I am writing to report an issue I experienced at your Chula Vista, CA location. My Daughter ordered through the mobile app. I picked up the sandwiches. Arrived Home and was going to eat our sandwhices and observed they were both made with rosemary bread. I do not eat rosemary bread. I dislike mayonnaise on my sandwich! I called this location to informd them the online order was incorrect and I was returning sandwhices to be made correctly. When I entered the location. A Female employee said " welcome back again " being sarcastic . I calmly asked employee if my sandwiches could be remade due to an issue with the order, as they were prepared in a sloppy manner. The employee refused and responded in a rude and aggressive way. I mentioned I needed to go to my next thing to do . She then slid the sandwiches toward me instead of addressing my concern professionally. Additionally, during the Two visits approximately within 40 minutes apart I was present, the employee's demeanor noticeably shifted. First visit I picked up the sandwiches. She complimented me on my Tee Shirt. 2nd visit she was verbally abusive towards me and very rude. It's 12:15 pm location is busy with guests. In front of other guests. Employee said " I made her feel uncomfortable ". I asked employee to remake my sandwiches so I could go to my next tasks. I asked her what's your name. She reponded " I am not going to tell you " which raised concerns for me about professionalism and consistency in customer service. I also informed her I would be contacting Coroporate , She reponded " I don't care " . My time and money was wasted due to this 1 employee. Her co -workers appeared intimadated by her authortive behavior. As a result, I did not trust that my food was being handled appropriately. This interaction made me feel disrespected. I expect a basic level of courtesy and professionalism, and this experience did not meet that expectation. The employee attempted to bully me with her words and actions. I am wise and will not bite the bait. Myself and Daughter will not return to this Jersey Mike's location again!

    Omg I love this Sprouts with a passion!…read more First of all.. "Sushi Wednesdays!" The sushi here is good if not better than some sushi spots in Chula Vista. It's pretty fresh and not a fishy taste/smell. They will even take requests. Lately I will call one of my homegirls and yell, "Sushi Wednesdays!" And we will laugh and laugh and make our way over. Do not sleep on chunky cookie time. The singular packed chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Better than some local bakery cookies I have had and cheaper in price, but not quality. This location has my favorite sandwich and smoothie and deli/butcher. They are the friendliest people with hearts waiting to serve and you can tell they like their jobs. They are easy to exchange words with here. The store is clean and organized. I can find way more stuff here than other locations. It is spacious and it has been rare that I have been shopping while it was overly crowded. The crowded area I would say would be the sandwich/smoothie deli during lunchtime for sure because schools/colleges/trade programs in the area will all come and get the lunch specials. The sandwich deal is so smart of them to do because in this economy, it is harder to find a good deal. Back in the day, they used to include sprouts in the sandwiches for free, but now in 2026 I rarely see sprouts sold in stores even. Healthiest smoothie I have had was the green detox, highly recommended. Every single week a different smoothie goes on sale so check the weekly ads for your favorite smoothie. The meat quality is amazing always! I always get chicken, fish, and beef on sale. I have gotten sick before from meats from markets that inject hormones in the meats. I trust Sprouts a lot and have never gotten sick from their raw meats. High quality for sure.

    This visit was on a Friday Night around 7:30p. There were no crowds shopping and the aisles were…read moreperfectly clean and organized. I also appreciated that the produce was very fresh, organized, and vast. I found the Albino Pink Strawberries here, as well as the Okinawa (purple Ube) Yams! This is AWESOME. I have not been drinking alcohol lately and it was VERY REFRESHING to find that they have a nice selection of non-alcoholic beverages. There were several variations of Athletic Non-Alcoholic Beers, nice. My FAVORITE non-alcoholic find was the Mocktails brand called "Mingle". The different flavors looked delicious and seemed to be priced very well. Our cashier was great, she had good customer service. She also showed us the new 25 cents reusable Sprouts shopping bags. They are made of a pretty sturdy material and are a nice khaki tan color with the green Sprouts logo. We purchased 3 of them. Overall, great trip here on a Friday Night, minus the $200 we spent on great groceries, still a great trip.
