Open-Air Steak and Taco Spot Opening Two Outposts in Chula Vista | Eater San Diego

"I'm introducing La Central, a new steak-focused grill that will debut this Tuesday at Novo Brazil Brewing in the Eastlake area of Chula Vista, operating Monday through Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. Owned by restaurateur Roger Canez (who also owns Tijuana’s Sonora Express Meat Boutique and opened North Park’s La Catrina), La Central will set up outside the brewery’s tasting room and feature award-winning grill master Daniel Castruita cooking a variety of cuts to order — including dry aged ribeye, top sirloin, and New York strip — as well as pork belly, bacon-wrapped ribs, bone marrow and more. The menu will also include tacos, nachos, ceviche, carne asada fries, and a burger, and Canez and Castruita will conduct monthly grilling-education classes. In early May a stand-alone La Central is planned to open at 3733 Main Street in Chula Vista with seating for 70 and kid-friendly elements such as a dedicated children’s menu and an inflatable jumping area." - Candice Woo

Best burritos in town! I tried some of their different mini burritos and best ones are the bistec and papas. Come early and pick up your burritos 🌯 🌯😋

You really need to try their bistec ranchero mini burrito. It had a homemade taste, it was so good that I forgot to take a pic, only after I finished it, I remembered.

Awesome and delicious Carne asada fries staff was pretty friendly. Wouldn't have expected such good good food from a restaurant near a gas station.

Shocked. One of the best burritos I’ve ever had here! The Rockefeller burrito is delicious. Freshly cooked carne asada. Shocked because it’s connected to a gas station almost hidden.

Service is great! The premade burritos taste great and are great for when you're pressed for time I also had a egg & bacon burrito, great taste and pretty big. I really recommend this place.

Great food, the steak and bacon rolled tacos are incredible. The man who works the place is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Everyone I have sens here agrees, it was well worth it.

I'm glad I gave this place a 2nd chance. I had the mole again. Not dry at all this time. Hot, moist, and delicious. Good price, good size, fast service.

The people here can be very aggressive with you. the food is honestly not even that awesome and the staff is always rude like they hate their life. 0/10 wouldn't recommend don't waste your time. everyone is nasty especially the manager lady. she's terrible. and it's slow. go somewhere else.

If you like mini burritos to go this is the place I can't believe for the price point you can get these delicious burritos. Went with chicharon, carne con papa, frijoles and chilaquiles . All tasted great ..no wait as they are all ready and price point for the quality is what makes this place great !

This eatery is located in the same corner of the Chevron Gas Station and the building housing the Cali-Mart convenience store. The eatery offers a very good amount of inside seating. In addition to the creative Mexican Fare, they also offer burgers and French Fry creations. I had the Rockefeller Burrito which included steak, shrimp, and bacon with grilled onions, guacamole, and cheese for $9. It was a very good burrito and quite meaty. It was a little on the salty side, probably because of the bacon on top of the regular seasoning, but tasty the three proteins together was a tasty treat. I did feel the burrito needed more shrimp. The steak was very good, and I loved that it had that good smoky flavor. The guacamole in the burrito was minimal but good, the grilled onions rocked, and the white cheese was just right. They gave the buttery flour tortilla a good toasting which is always a good thing. There salsas were pretty good too.

Grab and go burritos for $2?! Yes, please. I'm always on a rush and being able to just go in and choose a delicious burrito without waiting is amazing. The burritos are small, but they remind me the home style burritos my mom used to make me. These burritos are flavorful and filling. It looks like they have a drive up section and a cooler . Probably for early risers! They also have taco Tuesday $2 tacos! I'll be coming back to try those for sure!

Saw this place on tik tok and decided to make a pit stop instead of my usual food trucks on main. This place did not disappoint. Burritos were super good and great portions for price. If you like the linea burritos, give this place a quick try. You won't regret it.

This place is always closed! They used to have good $2 burritos to go. Every time I pass by because I pass by there on my way home and the place is always closed.
