Service was really good. Food was really good. This place is the real thing. I would definitely recommend them
I see quite a bit of 5 stars reviews, so I decided to try this place out. The service was okay nothing special. As for the food,... it was bad. The food appeared to be some bad leftovers from the day before maybe even a few days old. I definitely don'trecommend this place. Read more

Since adopting a diet regimen involving tacos and “intermittent fasting” a year ago, breakfast has been a rarity. El Huevo... Estrellado (“The Starred Egg” in English) is the kind of place that makes me re-evaluate the health vs. happinessdichotomy. A small South Bay restaurant featuring warm, professional service and excellent home-style cooking, El HuevoEstrellado serves what may be San Diego’s loveliest “Chroizo Scramble” ($10.95). Every meaty strand of ground sausage wasseemingly separately coated with a thin layer of egg clinging to it like a batter. This helped dull the harsh salinity andgreasiness that one typically associates with Mexican chorizo. The result is a much cleaner-tasting amalgamation of egg andsausage than you’d expect. The rice and refried beans served with the scramble were also unique, with the rice infused with atouch more of tomato flavor than the familiar “combo plate” rice you get from other restaurants in and around San Diego; Ienjoyed it. Meals begin here with complimentary tortilla chips served with a piquant salsa roja that delivers a fresh burst ofcold while incongruously punishing the inside of your mouth with its chili-induced heat. El Huervo Estrellado’s tacosregrettably do not use hand-made tortillas made on-premises, but they are not using the usual horrible pre-packaged tortillas.The owner told me they get freshly-made tortillas from a nearby tortilleria each day. Their “Carnitas Taco” ($3.75) is anon-traditional carnitas taco, featuring chunks of juicy pork in a marinade with shredded yellow and white cheese, guacamole,chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and a little bit of lettuce. A photo on the wall shows that President Bill Clinton once visitedthis archetype of a family-run Chula Vista Mexican restaurant, which made me wonder how he even found it. Regardless, I have nodoubt his day was better for it. Read more
