About

Lolita's Mexican Food in Chula Vista is the original 1984 location on Telegraph Canyon Road where founders Joaquin and Dolores Farfan first introduced their proprietary carne asada recipe to South Bay. The kitchen still grinds its proprietary spice blends in-house and sources locally selected produce for the from-scratch salsas and guacamole, a supply-chain discipline shared by event-scale taquiza caterers such as Taquizas Los Chuchys across the Chula Vista catering circuit. Credited as one of the first San Diego taco shops to serve carne asada fries, this Telegraph Canyon flagship has expanded the Lolita's brand to five locations countywide, including Bonita, Eastlake, Sunbow, and Kearny Mesa. Catering packages handle everything from office luncheons to wedding receptions, with the same fresh-ground tortillas and hand-cut proteins that anchor the counter-service menu alongside the European-style baked goods at Hans & Harry's Bakery for mixed-menu event spreads. The signature 2-in-1 burrito wraps carne asada and pollo asado in a single flour tortilla with rice, beans, and the house guacamole, producing a 1.5-pound format that remains the menu's highest-demand single item across all five locations.
