Everyone knows of San Diego, but, did you know, only a few miles south of the city, you can find a bustling neighborhood of restaurants, shops and community events? Chula Vista sits just north of the Mexican border and continues to grow in popularity due to its proximity to both San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico.

Here, you have the chance to savor authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine. Top restaurants in the area include Don Pedro’s Taco Shop, El Comal, Talavera Azul, Kalaveras and Los Cuates Seafood & Bar. In fact, two of San Diego’s most popular burrito and taco shops, Mujer Divina Burrito and Coffee House and Tuetano Taqueria, are slated to open new locations in Downtown Chula Vista this spring.

 

You won’t just find taste Mexican restaurants in Chula Vista. The area has seen a surge in a rich variety of other cuisines in the last 20 years.
