El Comal

I came with my friends for breakfast and it was great! It was the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! We’ll definitely come back and try it for dinner someday.

This is a great little restaurant in the heart of downtown Chula Vista, we were actually going to go next door to the grindhouse coffee shop, but we were mesmerized by the pictures of wonderful Mexican breakfast dishes! The ambiance is very warm with cute little adages on the walls. I enjoyed the machaca con huevos and my husband had the Chilaquiles con carne asada en salsa roja, and we shared a bowl of menudo. A bit much for two, but I had to try the menudo. I was not disappointed! The menudo was amazing, the broth was rich and hot, a good amount of tripe, although I would have liked more honeycomb tripe. The best for last, the cafe de la olla, so delicious and free refills to boot! Service was good, the elderly gentleman is very funny and welcoming and seems quite attentive. It is so nice to see downtown Chula Vista thriving on a Sunday morning.

Great little Mexican restaurant located in the heart of downtown Chula Vista. Wasn't packed around brunch time on a Thursday. They serve chips and salsa before you meal. The queso dip appetizer with tortillas is really good. Very gooey and cheesy. They still offer straws, I politely declined mine. Server was very nice and attentive. They have a few vegetarian options, I got the veggie fajitas which came with a side of rice, beans and avocado. The tortillas are made there; they are thick and hot????. Between the appetizer, and my meal, I had to get a to-go box. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth trying.
