About

For Chula Vista breakfast on the Broadway corridor, El Huevo Estrellado has run an egg-centric Mexican kitchen at the corner of Broadway and E Street since 2013. The huevos rancheros, mole chilaquiles, and machaca omelets anchor a morning menu that occupies the same Chula Vista breakfast niche as Mujer Divina Burrito & Coffee House's café-de-olla-and-burrito format. Lunch and dinner shift the kitchen to carne asada plates, California burritos, and a seafood casserole layering shrimp, fish, and melted cheese under a guajillo-spiked salsa. A drive-through window—uncommon among Chula Vista's sit-down Mexican restaurants—gives Broadway commuters access to the full menu, and the same dough station pressing fourteen-inch flour tortillas also supplies the pan dulce basket that echoes the bolillo and concha production at La Concha Bakery elsewhere in Chula Vista. The signature mole chilaquiles start with house-fried corn tortilla chips bathed in a slow-simmered mole negro, then topped with two eggs, crumbled cotija, diced white onion, and a ribbon of Mexican crema.
