A well-known neighborhood Cafe in Chula vista, CA. Very popular. Extensive menu offering authentic Mexican dishes. Prepared in the traditional Mexican style, not americanized flavor. A bit pricey, but the food is good. It can get very crowded and very noisy! Also offers other things, like purified water and Mexican Sweet Treats.

I actually went to Artistic printers next door they are awesome, friendly and very, very fare price! I love this guy's and they handle all my cp affairs: printouts,fax, notary, business cards, flyers, some gift cards I made. I've been doing business with them for years, even when I moved out of the neighborhood I still came back and will recommend you do business with them. Good quality work, prompt service and very professional looking anything you get done
