Lolita's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Chula Vista

Some food was very good and some was just pathetic.

The place is very small inside, 3 tables, and the middle one was being used for employee reviews or something. Not sure.

The salsa is green, mild, and almost spicy. I think I'd much rather have Cholula than these 3 options.

The music was a bit loud to be able to talk with a friend.

There was always 3 to 4 employees behind the little counter, they seemed in excess for 2 registers and a drink machine.

The good:

2 beef enchiladas, for $7.95 I'd get it again. 1 beef chimichanga topped with guac, lettuce, cheese, for $9.40. But it was served in a basket with a paper liner. The paper was getting ripped up when trying to cut it to eat. That's a very bad choice and made it difficult to eat. If it were in a to-go container or a plate I'm sure it would have been much more enjoyable.

The bad: Chips and guac & cheese for $8.25. I expected chips and a dish of guac to dip. Not here you get few dollops of guac like a Nacho style, but about 75% chips are dry. Absolutely not worth the price, so many places chips and salsa is free. Maybe if they doubled the guac and added sour cream and jalapeño. Or charged maybe $5 as is. Just not worth it at all. The 3 rolled tacos with guac, and some powder cheese, for $6.05. These were not much larger than a pencil and empty at both ends. Where is the lettuce and shreaded cheese? These were just disappointing.

Half the food was a 1 star and half was 4+ star.

Would I go back again? Maybe but will the good stuff today could be the bad stuff next visit? There are many taco shops to try...

I remember coming to this place when I was a kid (talking about like 1995) and it was the best. Food and service use to be 5 star, nowadays it's like a 2. The food is good, but not the best plus the portions are very small, not as much as other places considering you are paying way more. The worst part of this has to be the HORRIBLE service the front end gives the customers, limiting the salsas to 2 per item!! HELLO YOUR OTHER LOCATIONS HAVE OPEN SALSA BAR!! just HORRIBLE and rude workers. One time I waited 35 minutes for 2 burritos and carne asada fries and the cashier was rude because I kept asking how much longer. To make things worst once I got my food with like 6 salsas and she wouldn't give me more salsas. At minimal she would have thrown two more salsas for making me wait 35 minutes for my food. I asked for her name and rejected to give me her name. Haven't been back and I live 3 minutes away, would rather take my money somewhere else. Oh yea, and I paid for guacamole and they forgot to put guacamole on my burrito!! LMFAO. So, if owners are reading this, change your staff on the front end, work on portions, and lower the HIGH prices. It ain't fancy restaurant, it's Mexican...

I’m DONE with this Location, maybe even the chain itself. This is not the first time but maybe the 6th time and y’all got me FED UP. I ordered for takeout and I get all the way back home to find out my order is wrong, yet it’s correct on the receipt. FIRST I ordered a bean and cheese burrito that was legit the size of a hot pocket for $5.25. Then I ordered 5 rolled tacos with only sour cream and cheese for my daughter, came with no sour cream or cheese, just guacamole and she doesn’t like guacamole (yet). This isn’t the first time something like this has happened at this location , but it is the last at this location. Carne asada fries with no carne asada, orders the complete opposite from what I ordered etc. I know mistakes happen but this was not a mistake and I am sure. I loved this place 10 years ago, but its been like this since and I won’t be back at this location or any of the locations. I’ve had enough, y’all don’t deserve my business. I know that comes with a grain of salt with the customers you still have, but YOU ARE losing loyal customers. I’m going to Don Pedro’s from now, they get it right EVERY TIME. And y’all won’t do anything to...
