Mexican restaurant · Chula Vista

"Joaquin and Dolores “Lolita” Farfan opened their first Lolita’s restaurant in Chula Vista in 1984. They pride themselves on their ingredients, delivered fresh every day. Although it’s a causal taco shop, each item is made to order. “Patience is the essence of Mexican food” is written on the walls at Lolita’s, and you can taste this ethos in the menu. Joaquin developed his own carne asada recipe for the restaurant, a dish that’s seasoned carefully. As such, Lolita’s is at the heart of the taco shop scene in South Bay. You can’t go wrong with the carne asada fries and California burrito, either." - Kristin Díaz de Sandi
