I recently visited Waba Grill and had a mixed experience overall. The restaurant uses computer touchscreen kiosks for placing orders, which makes the ordering process convenient and modern. However, there did not appear to be employees readily available in the front to assist customers, as most staff were working in the back kitchen preparing the food. The food preparation did take a little while, so customers should expect a bit of a wait during their visit. That being said, the food itself was very enjoyable. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavor was excellent. The quality and quantity of the meals definitely stood out as the highlight of the experience. One area that could use improvement is the customer service experience. The employees did not appear very friendly or welcoming, and there was limited interaction or assistance provided to customers. While the food quality was strong, a more attentive and approachable customer service atmosphere would make the overall dining experience much better. read more

Hardly ever run into issues when I'm ordering take out here, and I've started to place my order in store because some of the staff would constantly get my order wrong over the phone. Today(@1:30pm) I walked in and placed my very simple order as usual and when they handed me my order I noticed there was a mistake and that they gave me the wrong sauce so I let them know, they didn't seem to care so they added a packet of what I think is the sauce that I chose on my order instead, however there's a reason for why I chose a specific sauce over the other, it's way too sweet and I don't really like it. They let me know it's the same sauce that goes on every plate( as if I didn't know about the optional sauces and mind you I've been coming here for YEARS). So I told them I didn't want that sauce and the cook or whatever he is got a little attitude and said if i wanted him to remake it? I said if he could fix it. They gave me my order I said thank you to the cashier and once I was walking out the scrawny cook yells YOUR WELCOME! ??I don't get where the attitude is coming from, I simply asked for them to fix my order that THEY GOT WRONG. And I wouldn't be leaving a bad review had he probably not gotten brave and sassy at the end, maybe pay attention when you're making the orders and you wouldn't have to fix YOUR ERRORS. For the most part the rest of the staff seems pretty chill and like I said I don't ever have issues when I come here( maybe just with my phone orders here n there but I never made a big deal or anything about it cuz things happen) but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth and whoever is in charge should know how this cook (or whatever he is) is handling bad customer service. read more

We have an extreme soft spot for waba grill. As long as they keep up those quality portions and generous inclusion of sauce, I'm going to be loyal. I love the mixed combo plates and really, I haven't had anything here I didn't like. They have good deals every once in a while, and the food travels well to-go, making it a popular to-go choice for us when we're in the area. With enough people, the family meal options are totally worth it! We often order out, but service is consistently good, they keep the place pretty clean, and enough seating for groups. read more

The hubby and I love Waba Grill but the last couple of visits have not been the best . I like to give businesses a second or even a third chance to redeem themselves but Waba just fails every time . The waba bowls have been pretty much half full . I'd like to feel somewhat full or satisfied but not the case . My previous visit my chicken Waba bowl had a hair in it. "Disgusting " that spoiled my appetite. I would definitely like some consistency on the amount that is served but unfortunately it seems to be impossible! read more

Enjoyed my chicken bowl. The family enjoyed their shrimp and salmon bowls as well. Staff was friendly. We came in around 5:30 pm and it was not at all busy just two small groups. Restroom was unsatisfactory needs to be cleaned and maintained. All I needed to do was wash my hands but noticed there was no toilet paper, pubic hair on the seat, sink was dirty, soap dispenser had some questionable smear of something on it. Not being a picky customer. I just don't want to recommend this place to a friend and they have the same experience I did. Overall food and service was great.

I love waba grill because the veggies always tastes so fresh. I get the kids meal because it's a good amount for my size & it comes with a drink for $6. The steak is pretty bomb, I haven't tried chicken or tofu yet tho. The parking here is decent, but it's right next to Costco and Walmart so it gets difficult getting into the parking lot and can be confusing. It's never really busy here so you get ur food in under 15 mins. Workers are really nice and funny! They play bomb music that really boost ur mood while eating. Such a good post-work out meal ;-) and it's right next to planet fitness. Such a convenient location! read more

That alone made me feel like the wait wasn't wasted. We tried a variety of tacos, and everything was solid. The spicy pork (which actually isn't that spicy) was super flavorful and easy to eat. I will highly recommend even if you don't handle spice well. The beef tongue was another standout, it is tender, rich, and really well done. Ordering can be a little confusing at first since you line up by meat and then pay separately, but once you figure it out, it's part of the experience. If you're in San Diego, this place is pretty much a must-try. I'd come back again just for these tacos.

Staff here is super chill and friendly. This place is a gem in Chula Vista.

Paris Express' crispy pork belly banh mi lives rent-free in my head--and honestly, I'm not even mad…read moreabout it. The pork belly is ridiculously good: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and every bite hits that salty, savory, slightly sweet balance that makes you pause mid-bite like "wait...why is this so good?" It's one of those sandwiches where you tell yourself you'll save half for later and then suddenly it's gone. Something about their sauce... I always pair it with their sugarcane drink, which is the perfect refreshing reset between bites.

Decent banh mi for Chula Vista. I first tried these sandwiches through Door Dash but of course I…read morewanted to wait to eat it fresh before writing a review. I appreciated that if you ask for veggies on the side, they will give it to you individually for each sandwich. I've never seen that before. Banh mi shops usually just throw it all in a fat bag and call it a day. I'm not a fan of their dac biet but the heo quay is crispy and delicious, and also not one you can find at most banh mi shops. The bread is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The veggies are fresh and the flavors are there. Good customer service and fair prices. I now won't always need to drive all the way to City Heights for my banh mi fix!

Peach mango pie was crispy, sweet, and warm. The gravy's were a little too watery but still good. Spaghetti was underwhelming with an unequal ratio of noodles to sauce; it was lacking the sauce and hot dogs.

So good, man -- sweet and golden. Crew was real kind, respectful, and patient while we probed the menu even with a line behind us. I made sure to thank 'em and tipped off the manager on their outstanding service. Do yourself a favor -- hit this location or one of the other two and taste that chicken. You'll thank me. -- Captain 619

My two hour workout probably didn't make much of a dent in the decadence of this meal, but it was…read moreworth it! I came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia!

This place fell short of my expectations. My coworkers brought it up to me, therefore we wanted to…read moretry since my son & husband lovessss burgers. It's a food court with its own shared parking lot. When we went in there was a huge line to the door. As you go up the line, there are multiple menus placed to your left in which they have multiple different food options to choose from. Gave me anxiety as I felt rushed coming here for the first time. A line gathering up behind us, ppl in front of me, didn't want to be rude reaching over ppl to grab the menus. So just waited as we moved up to look at them. There's so many options it's overwhelming. Once we got to the front, we were trying to place our order only to find out we waited in line for nothing. The burger line was the empty line to the left which there's no signage or nothing to explain. We did order 1 adobada taco, a horchata, & a sprite. The girl forgot my sprite, told me to go order in the left line for burgers. So when I was placing our burger order, I asked for the sprite I never received. The cashier for burger spot said I have to go back into the other line to order that. Confusing af. Luckily it had 2 customers & not a line out the door like when we first arrived. I ordered the smoked brisket burger, my son the Russel cheeseburger, & my hubby the "burgers & fries." My son did not touch his burger, literally went to waste. My husband said his was ok. As for my brisket burger, I did not like mine at all. It was super salty. It came with a meat patty & CHUNKS of cubed brisket? When I got smoked brisket I assumed it would've been like a pulled pork texture. Quite the opposite. They were chunks of cubed meat. I didn't finish mine. We took everything to go & didn't eat the leftovers once home. We paid around $50 for some less than mediocre burgers that I could've done better at home. I liked that the food court had a self serve salsa bar with plenty of salsas, ingredients, etc. The presentation of the food was good! But the food just wasn't it for us. Probably would never return tbh. Also, when we were wrapping up - the server was hovering over us to finish so she could take the boards/fry basket back. Not like we're gonna steal them. Lol. But I get it, maybe previous patrons have put them near the trash or thrown them away. As the burger place may be its own individual business aside from the food court.

Alright, so I may lose credibility as a Yelp Elite but Jack's Tacos are nostalgic to me. I always…read moreloved them and for .75 cents I think they are worth the price! I purchased an online digital deal and for $23.15 (tax included) I received two Jumbo Jacks, two Chicken Sandwiches, 4 French Fries and 10 Tacos. I was after their tacos but this wasn't just for me. I don't know if I ever had a Jumbo Jack before but it was better than a McDonalds Cheeseburger (I don't like Big Mac's). Really liked Jack's brioche bun. My guilty pleasure is always their tacos and onion rings but that's how they get me. Cheap and pricey onion rings. I forgo the onion rings on this visit; their fries meh. I got there 5 minutes before my pickup time and I saw them put my order on the pickup rack. Inside looked clean enough and the was satisfied with my Jack haul.

I tend to go early mornings and on my last trip the registers were down and I could only order on the App. I ended up going to Einstein bagels instead. I go last week for the first time in a while as my wife saw the advertisement for the scrambled egg bacon sourdough meal for $6. I pull up and they didn't know about it and had to look it up. Not a big deal it's probably a brand new menu item. They did find it and I ordered two meals. Service was quick and friendly but as they gave me my food, I noticed they left out an item. They looked confused at first then said oh yea and handed me the rest of my order. I get home and my wife asked if I got the wrong order, no it was the right one just nothing as advertised. It's hard to blame the franchises for these as marketing reallly goes overboard with the TV commercials and advertisements. The amount of bacon was good but it was frail and tiny and the egg looked 1/5 the size of the advertisements. As for the costs, it's hard to complain about a 6 meal deal. As we were both hungry it hit the spot! I'll be back but just not for this in the future.

Disappointing Experience at McDonald's on Broadway, Chula Vista…read more I had a truly frustrating experience at this location on 8/22/25 I arrived during a busy lunch hour and was directed to use the kiosk due to the long line. I placed my order at 12:27 PM, but the kiosk failed to print a receipt, so I had to request one from the front counter. After sitting down, I noticed several customers receiving their food--even those who ordered after me. By 12:53 PM, my order number still hadn't appeared on the screen. I approached the counter, where multiple customers were already expressing frustration with the service. When I asked about my order, the employee named Gabby snatched the receipt from my hand without a word. Several nearby customers even commented on how rude that was. Gabby then walked to the kitchen and said in Spanish, "I need four chicken strips please," which made it clear my order hadn't even been started. After waiting another four minutes, I had no choice but to cancel--I was on my lunch break and couldn't afford to wait any longer. This experience was unacceptable: 26 minutes for a simple order that hadn't even been initiated, paired with dismissive and disrespectful customer service. I hope management addresses both the operational delays and the need for basic courtesy toward paying customers.
