Papagayos Grill and Cantina in Chula Vista's Eastlake district serves regional Mexican cuisine anchored by stone-ground molcajete, tableside parrillada, and whole-plate ceviche at 2220 Otay Lakes Road. The kitchen's emphasis on char-grilled proteins and house-made tortillas fits a growing Eastlake dining corridor where craft taprooms such as Brewjeria Taproom & Kitchen draw overlapping crowds. Opened in 2013 as a continuation of the former Alejandro's Mexican Restaurant concept, the operation has maintained family stewardship since 1999 across both brands. A dedicated full-service bar pours house margaritas built on fresh citrus and agave spirits alongside a rotating selection of Mexican lagers and craft cocktails. The enclosed patio seats private events and features live orquesta and mariachi performances on weekends, giving the venue an event-capable footprint that exceeds the mobile taqueria model operated by Baja Tacos & Gourmet Catering. Tableside molcajetes arrive in volcanic-stone mortars loaded with grilled shrimp, carne asada, nopal cactus, and panela cheese over a base of roasted tomatillo salsa.
