La Central Urban Grille Beer Garden

A definite 4.25 score for ambiance. Nested behind bjs, this bar and restaurant were just popping with excitement. Instead of bjs, we literally heard the music the karaoke the people the light's... it was a refreshing site; total fun, completely unique and utterly memorable. The food was great, the drinks were well made and tasty. The people were a mix of everything and the karaoke was thumping and bumping. We arrived late night and yet, ended up just staying because of the great environment. Tale a shot and enjoy the night. Parking is ample and easy to get find. Only thing missing were more heaters and more comfortable seats and service was fine of not a bit slow.

It was date night for my wife and I on a recent Saturday and we were hungry. We wanted to try a restaurant with not only good food but a great ambiance and we found that place at La Central located in the Chula Vista Center mall. We had heard about this place but never actually tried it. We were promptly seated at a table with a nice fire place. We ordered appetizers, tacos and a couple of drinks. The food was delicious and the music that was playing was great so much that my wife was singing and eating. Food was very good, service was excellent, price was what you would expect anywhere else and ambiance was fun. We will definitely be back on one of our future date nights.

Amazing tacos, good service. They need a new location, they have a chill beach vibe that I think they could pull off if they moved to one. I can tell a lot of heart goes into the food and the events this place does. The manager Aaron told us they do different food events like cabeza, paella, birria, etc on different days. They also do mariachi and karaoke on certain nights. So yeah I highly recommend this place even though it is just in the middle of a dead mall surrounded by stores. Try the pastor or the gringa tacos they were awesome.

Nice ambiance and very tasty drinks. The adobada tacos are good and come with have chunks of pineapple. The adobada torta is okay. The chicharon and pulpo taco was a huge disappointment. As you can see the chicharon looks like it came from a chip bag. The drinks are real delicious but, the one that we got (pictured) came with a huge chunk of ice that no one bothered to break down. Waiters are very nice but, we had multiple of them. Not sure who was suppose to be helping us at times. I suggest calling to make a reservation on busy evenings.

This was a great place to chill, have a beer on draft and the Best burritos we’ve ever had in a while!!!! Locally. Good service. Also a great spot for spring and summer time to come watch a fight. We’ll definitely come back.

The food and service were good, but the last time we were there, the music was super loud to the point where we couldn't hear eachother. There was a band setting up for live music and the DJ would crank up the volume even higher on tracks he liked. Restaurant music should add to the environment not drown it out.
