Mexipino Craft, Chula Vista CA

Expensive for the quality and quantity of food. Nothing special about the entree served which could be had at any of the Filipino eateries in National City at better prices and, in most instances, taste. More of a hype/contemporary place for young adults but not for the older generations. It is not worth the drive if coming from outside Chula Vista.

Amazing food! I love the Mexipino sandwich. Great customer service as well. I would highly recommend it.

Some of the best Mexican food we’ve eaten! Our party had chilaquiles, chorizo scramble, chicken Tocino rice bowl, veggie scramble, and strawberry waffles and EVERYTHING was delicious! We would DEFINITELY return and would HIGHLY recommend this place! I also want to add the customer service is excellent!

Delicious food and excellent service! We got the Adobo chicken & waffles and the Ube pancake. The food was a generous amount and super tasty. Highly recommend!

Love the concept and the food was tasty. Went for weekend brunch with my mom and it was not too busy, but it did take longer than ideal for the food to arrive. Other than that, everything was great. Food came hot and full of flavor. Mom had the chicken and waffles which were really good and I had a potato hash kind of thing and the spuds we're perfectly crispy on the outside - both were enough for us to make two meals out of. Def worth a stop if you're in the area. Easy strip mall parking.

Great flavorful food with ample parking! We arrived a few minutes after they opened on a sunday and we’re promptly seated.you could tell they were ramping up for a busy morning as a few people stopped in for online order pickup and takeout orders.we ordered calamansi mint juice which was delicious.we also ordered the chicken and waffles as well as the pork trio.both dishes were portioned large and very well seasoned.highly recommended for mexican filipino fusion on familiar breakfast and brunch options.the kitchen is fairly open air to the seating so be mindful that your clothes may smell if you decide to dine-in.

I Have had a great experience before had not been there in a while. My chunky chorizo was bland I had to order waffles they brought them and they were rubbery they took them back brought another plate of waffles and were crunchy on the outside and chewy. Did not eat them and was $11 for a flat chewy waffle. Not to mention it was so hot they didn't have the air on and we waited a long time to pay and had to get up and go find the waiter in the back to pay the sad part is it was just us and another couple almost at the end the restaurant was empty and with such bad service and food dont know what happen to to the quality of the place.
It also looks like it needs some TLC the place looks worn.

Horrible service. Took 45 to just get drinks. People coming in from the hot weather are thirsty and seriously no drinks? Now the food. Horrible. I had the garlic fried rice with two eggs and some sausage. The rice was so greasy it was like a soup. I guess let the oil drip from the egg and sausage into the rice. It was just gross. Everything about the experience was just horrible. I was there for 1 hr and 45 mins before I got the food. Don't recommend.

I on my way from the San Francisco Bay Area to Merida Yucatan, Both culinary capitals in their own right, MéxiPino came up on my Google search.

More than just a great place. A super place! Sabe rico and masarap!

Churva!

I had the chicken adobo on Belgian Waffle.

I wanted a kick with mine so the owner offered me a Chile Arbor sauce that tasted Homemade. I think it was!

The ideal scene and heaven just had a baby and it was created with love!

I’m recounting as mi texting in this box on the place the following morning still in a rapture from the religious experience of having eaten there.

Super super nice family running the place making sure I was doing well but never overly distracting my from my gastronomic reverie.

I’ll be back!

Would not recommend
I used to be a loyal customer here until they had a sewage back up with black water. They called the company that I worked for to clean it up, and we came out and saw that the sewage had mostly dried and stuck inside the walls and floor. They didn't want to pay to fix it, so they decided to just wait until it was fully dry and never called us again. I would never support a restaurant that cooks food and lets people walk on waste water.

Great customer service. Met the owner very personable. We appreciate it, very good food. Veggie burger fries, grilled veggies, crunchy roll and loved the strawberries lemonade and regular mexipino lemonade.next I'll be trying breakfast.

This place is a delicious option for breakfast and brunch in the South Bay! Chula Vista’s breakfast scene is pretty dominated by suburban chain restaurants, but this is a gem.

The food was delicious, well-prepared, and made to order. It’s not the fastest, but it’s well worth it for piping hot, fresh breakfast potatoes.

The Mexipino Hash Plate has got a little bit of everything on it: tidbits of every kind of breakfast meat among the two cultures represented in the menu here. They toss a smattering of black beans and garlic rice onto it all, which was a delightful surprise. The whole entree was topped with a 1/4 of a sliced avocado (and we didn’t even have to pay extra for it!).

The veggie scramble is also quite good, and probably the most generous in terms of all the mix-ins of any restaurant scramble I’ve had. Caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and more avocado, with a huge side of potatoes and pan de sal toast.

I’d come again just for that toasted pan de sal! Highly recommend.

TLDR: if you see a female server leave the building immediately; other then that it’s an amazing spot who needs more traffic their food is unique, tasty and worth any travel through the area.

Very very good local place in Chula Vista. I’d recommend getting the fried chick adobo waffles they are to die for; all the servers I’ve had were above and beyond even bringing water without being asked (awesome!). Although my most recent visit left a sour taste in my mouth with a female server regrettably I’ve never seen her there before maybe a new hirer or someone that’s I haven’t personally seen. She was not being accommodating, gave a judgmental glare and not acknowledging my table after serving us the whole time there.while there was another group they were a group of 3 with no other patrons in the building near close. She gave me and my group a bad vibe and as well as coming off as snobby or purposeful agitated getting one of our orders wrong in the process flagging her down to fix the problem was a hassle.while we only asked for 5 items including drinks Being difficult to flag down is understandable when overloaded but it was just my group and another group a total of two tables this was just to get our check.she never glanced or checked in with us but did with the other group. The only words exchanged were about what we wanted to order and the check she still was being difficult the whole time until we were about to pay she then gave us the first smile during our checkout throughout the whole of the 3 interactions. Hopefully it was just nerves or something but I’ve only had that experience in the middle of no where while traveling in Oregon. The saving grace I swear is the food I would have rated the place a 3 just because of the female servers interaction…or lack of

Just know that the pancakes are big enough to share, the photo doesnt do it enough justice! Very nice ambiance inside the restaurant. The eaiter was extremely professional, attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. The food was amazing to say the least, like i said generous portions on just about everything. Definitely would recommend for brunch or even an outing with coworkers, friends, family.

The sandwich with mexican sweet bread (concha) combines with the pork sounds weird but it's amazing.

It's not a hybrid restaurant, it's a Mexican restaurant with a few Filipino options. If you're looking forward to the "fusion" of cuisines, it's just not there. They did not know what halo halo is and that right there should tell you enough.
