For Chula Vista Mexican food on the Broadway corridor, Plazas Mexican Food at 1550 Broadway specializes in traditional plates including fresh menudo, caldo de res, and pollo asada burritos grilled to order. The breakfast menu anchors a full-day counter-service format — huevos rancheros, machaca con huevos, and chorizo plates — that fills the morning gap on a Broadway stretch where Carnival Supermarket anchors the grocery traffic but sit-down breakfast counters remain scarce. The restaurant runs the full spectrum of Baja-style counter fare, from chimichangas and chile rellenos through birria and mariscos, with a salsa bar offering multiple house-made varieties alongside each order. That early-morning start also drives Plazas's coffee program, which pairs fresh-brewed café de olla with the breakfast menu — a morning combo that competes directly with the espresso-and-pastry format at Grind House by adding a full protein plate. The largest combo platters feature dual-protein carne asada and carnitas servings over a bed of rice and refried beans, built on hand-pressed flour tortillas stretched on-site each morning.
