Luzita’s Taco Shop

Got Food poisoning when I recently went in will never go back it’s too bad it’s averaged price but I’ll just pay more by going to Lolita’s ad least I know the food is fresh.

Hands down the best taco shop in Chula Vista! We’ve lived here since June and we’ve tried at least 7 different places. Beans are the measure of a good taco shop for mi familia and these are the best! Their pica is bomb… feel the burn! So good! Family owned and «family» friendly

Thursday lunch special: Shrimp burrito and a soda for 5 $. Worth it. The guys that work there are awesome. The one thing that might turn people away from this place is the fact that it looks a little run down. If you’re looking for a spot with great lunch specials to just pick up your food and leave, then this place is solid. They also have good hot sauces.

I live down the street from this place and man oh man is it MEDIOCRE! The only reason there still in business is because its directly next to a middle school that loves there dam cali burritos, which by the way IS ALL THEY CAN MAKE. I dare anyone to ask for adobada or polo asada (forgive me for spelling I’m white). Also they have a young male worker there (unless they fired him) who couldn’t be any less professional. I understand you deal with kids all day but good god don’t act worse then they ever would. He sees my friends edc sticker on his car and starts talking bout raves like anybody cares, you ever heard of that Kendrick song «you ain’t gotta lie to kick it»? Those vibez entirely

I come here for the beans, they are perfectly refried, never too greasy or too chunky. The salsas are also very good!

As I walk in there is a bunch of boards laying on a fooseball table. It was either a an open storage area or in the process of remodeling. Either way it should not be there for customers to see. The carne asada burrito was quite tasty and filled with a good portion of seasoned meat. The cheese on top of the rolled tacos, though, looked dry. It would have looked more appealing if the cook had melted it a bit on the rolled tacos. Service was friendly and respectful. It wouldn’t take much to spruce up the place to make it more appealing and bring out its potential. Come on Luzita’s, get crackin’!

Ordered rolled tacos to go and they were the worst!!! There was no meat in them, literally a strand of beef, all taco. The California burrito is stuffed with fries and no meat. This place is a rip off. Never again!

Good food it resembles Lolita’s. They have a great California burrito. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the restaurant itself is old and could use some remodeling.

The food quality has improved and the carne asada can now stand against Lolita’s nearby.
I only hope that they stay consistent with the cooking.
I don’t understand why they won’t serve breakfast burritos since they used to before

Bean & cheese burrito :-) the best!
i’m not so sure about the rest because I have not had anything other than the bean and cheese.

carne asada is NOT cooked to order.

This place isn’t bad. If you’re scrambling for a quick bite of Mexican food at a low price, it’s a good deal. The food is decent and the staff seems OK. The photos of old cars on the wall is quite neat to look at. On the whole, it’s nothing special, though.

I came by Luzita’s in the middle of October 2012. I was substitute teaching at a nearby school and needed something fast. I ordered the shrimp burrito and it was decent. I docked them 2 stars for the following: I am a germophobe and I always wash my hands before eating and when I went to wash my hands the sign on the bathroom said, «for employees only.» What! What is a germophobe to do? I took my order back to the school. I also docked them a star because the inside does not look that nice. For not a lot of money they can make the inside look more appealing. I will def. come back because the food is fast and good.

Great service and very clean. Will be back soon.

This place is usually really good. However the last few times that I was in the area the food has been super greasy and not as generous as before. I ordered carne asada nachos and they were skimpy on the meat and cheese. I was suprised, since it was the owner who made them. Sorry Luzitas, but Lolitas on Telegraph is now our place to go.

Pretty bomb if u ask me, I used to pick my daugther up from the middle school everyday and see a ton of kids going here after school so I finally tried it. Adobada fry’s are bomb as well as the Carne asada burritos. Checkem Out some time.

Wow. «The green salsa will curl your hair!» one of the patrons warned us. no kidding. Awesome!
This place is well worth getting off the freeway (805?) to seek out and get your taste-​buds pleased. I know that I will be back.
The clerk knew the menu, and was happy to recommend food that he knew we would like. What a gentleman!
I enjoyed an order of the best rolled taco’s of my life. We also had some really nice Cali’ burritos made with some serious freshly fried fries, and very lovingly cooked-​to-​order Carne Asada. Everyone loves it when the fries are fresh and not soggy – Gracias, Luzita! It’s refreshing that it took the cook a good 10 minutes to prepare the order. From the dining room, we could hear them in the back, cooking their asses off. Thank you for not just scooping out some grey, soggy beef out of a steam tray like so many taco shops do. This was clearly freshly grilled carne — Delicious.
We didn’t need it, but I love that they have a bathroom. how many taco shops one these days?
Clearly Luzita’s is suffering a mid-​life identity crisis… are you a wholesale furniture liquidator?
Forget the broken video game uprights… how‘ about a serious juke box? Customers will love it.
A few house-​flies flapping in vain against the front window distracted me a little. Clearly that is some kind of health code violation. Really, a simple «air-​door» curtain on the front entrance, and some fly control lamps would solve this problem. Hopefully there are already screen doors on the back kitchen? Its not even fly season yet here in May… so hopefully they will take care of this problem soon!
A self-​serve soda fountain and a nice parking-​lot or out-​back patio would go a really long way. Get cracking, Luzita!

This place is seconds away from house and it’s so convenient when I’m starving and don’t feel like driving.
I’ve been coming here since it opened around 2002 and going strong. AAhhh, high school memories.
Anyway, the restaurant is spacious, has a restroom, green and red hot sauce and the prices are fairly reasonable. On the weekend they have menudo. Yum!
The overall food quality is OK. It doesn’t suck and its not great. The tortillas always seam to get cold fairly fast. I prefer the skinny french fries over the the thicker ones and that’s probably why I’m not to fascinated over they’re Cali burritos and carne asada fries.
The mulitas are really good by the way.

I’ve never stepped foot in this place so these five stars are just for the tasty potato tacos they make. My good friend brought me some from here and they are just amazing. A crunchy fried taco shell filled with mashed potatoes, lettuce and two kinds of cheese. Simple and awesome. I don’t know what else they have here but if any of it is half as good as these tacos then it must be alright!

Lolita’s is getting tired and staid. The apple cart needs to be upset. Where is Lucy Ricardo when you need her? A competitor arises and bares it’s teeth. The bite is yours and the fight is for your dollar.
Simple and filling, Luzita’s. Like many other taco shops I was initially unimpressed with the place the first time I tried it. Time went on and I ran out of PATIENCE and I came here again. Now, the crew that runs the place has stepped up their game and are contenders. The beans are not memorable. Not to say they are a flavorless paste, they are not. It just seems to lack the richness of a fifty percent lard content. More Rex means more flavor.
San Diego Classic Car Club dudes display their «babies’» pictures on the walls and ride herd on the high school and middle school kids. There were no less than three «New Haircut» style douchitos with a middle school girl in her uniform still that I didn’t have to speak with about their inappropriate and disrespectful behavior on a Friday night. Thanks, Hector.
Not the best, but it’s a solid standby.
