Chulita

I came here a year ago and tried the ceviche and the coliflor fundido; I absolutely loved the latter. I came here last month (Oct 2023), reordered the fundido as well as a few other items. COLIFLOR FUNDIDO $16.00 ***** 5/5 This dish can fill you up. It’s delicious but a little difficult to describe. It has the flavor and consistency of melted cheese - gives you that awesome cheese pull - but then also has some slight cauliflower flavor…. Much less than you’d expect. The micro greens on top add a light refreshing flavor. It is served with blue corn tostadas you break into chips and dunk into the cheesy goodness; you can ask for more if you need them. This dish will always be a staple when I come here. STEAK TACO w/cassava tortilla $8 **** 4.5/5 The steak was cooked medium rare to perfection (make sure to ask for them this way if you want them cooked red). It was juicy and flavorful. Tastes very fresh. There is a good amount of meat- enough to take half off and make two smaller tacos because you are given two cassava tortillas. These had just the right amount of avocado. The only thing I wish is for it to be served with a little more pico de gallo. I would definitely get this again. I paid for the above and highly recommend you try them, but nothing I’ve tried here is bad. So explore! Get a group of friends together and try multiple things. I doubt you will be disappointed. Through yelp, I was fortunate enough to be able to try a couple other items for free. TAQUITOS DE CAMOTE**** 4.5/5 These are vegan. The tortilla shells have a good crunch, the camotes add a smooth texture to the inside, the vegan jalapeño aioli adds spice (in love with this sauce), and then they have pickled onions and radish with micro-greens on top which add wonderful complementary flavors. I even reheated one of the taquitos at home for my mom, and it was still good! When I visited, there was a month-long yelp check in deal for free churros. I couldn’t pass that up! PUMPKIN PIE SPICED CHURROS *** 3/5 These were not like any churro I’ve had before, but keep in mind these are not normal churros, these are vegan and gluten free. They came out piping hot! The carmel sauce tasted mostly of coffee or espresso, so I wasn’t a fan of it with the churros, but I did enjoy it at home atop whipped cream :) hehe Although these are not my favorite churros, I think they are a good option for people who are gluten-intolerant or have celiac disease. I think I might prefer, and thus definitely want to try, the VEGAN CHOCOLATE PUDDING I had two servers waiting on me, Juliet and Camille. Juliet greeted me, gave me recommendations, and took my order, while Camille brought me water and checked on me later. Both were courteous and good waitresses. I love the location of this restaurant. It has such a great beach vibe/ vacation aesthetic. They are part indoor, part outdoor. I was able to find a parking spot about a block away, but it can be difficult at busy times.

Great healthy Mexican food. Not just vegan, everyone will fond their thing. We had all plant-based. Loved it all. Mushroom carnitas top, cauliflower tacos great too, can't wait to try nopales. The nachos I can recommend too because that cheese is really worth to try, it's yummy and very high quality, you know it's not a cheap vegan cheese. The pink radishes is a great idea, loved the combo. And oh, the sweet dessert in the end! If you like decadent chocolate, try the pudding, it's so delicious and again, very good flavor and texture combo the blackberry sauce and almond crumbles. I also like this place because they have so many gluten-free options. Their cassava flour and blue corn tortillas taste amazing. It's a great spot, with friendly staff, also it's nice inside.

**Reviewed Mexican Restaurant** We visited this Mexican restaurant in search of a good meal, and overall, we were satisfied. The food was good quality, and the service was friendly, although the front staff seemed a bit disorganized. I made a reservation by phone, but when we arrived, the greeter took us to a table in the back facing the wall, which was not ideal for our group of five. My wife made it clear that we were not happy with the table, and the greeter finally used their brain and turned the table around so we could face each other. Once we were seated, the server was great and attentive. The food was also very good overall, although there was something missing for me that prevented me from giving it a perfect rating. The drinks and ambiance were both good as well. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to others, but be prepared for a bit of chaos when you first arrive. **Food:** 4 **Service:** 4 **Drinks:** 4 **Ambiance:** 4 **Overall:** 4

I really enjoyed my dinner at Chulita. It started with the very nice hostes, continued with a nice table, went on with the excellent music choices of 2000s hip hop, continued further with my first margarita that I actually liked and ended with a very nice meal of fish (didn't take the tacos bc I'm going to Mexico next week). Really worth a visit.

The layout was open air and great for a warm evening. Would be an excellent date spot except for the proximity of one table to the next- I was sitting almost as close to our 2-top neighbors on either side as I would have been if we were all at a 6-top, which was a bit distractingly close for bench seating. My favorite item was the Coliflor al Pastor taco. I don't typically gravitate towards that flavor profile but it was tangy without being too sweet and just generally delicious. The Taquitos de Camote had a fantastic fermented jalapeño aioli that I wish there was more of to balance out the starchiness. If I went back I'd try to seek out low-traffic daylight hours to try cocktails.

Great service on a Wednesday evening! We were on the outside patio which had nice, wide booth seating and doggo friendly! Service was fabulous and helpful with suggestions. We got guacamole, fundido, corn and tacos! Everyone was pleased with their meal and defs go for the corn tortilla for the tacos! Highly recommend the pescado and barbacoa tacos!

Absolutely amazing experience! We had a party of 6. One gluten free guest. She was so excited that she could eat everything! And she did…. And we had one guest who wasn’t a fan of Mexican cuisine…. But his comment was “this isn’t Mexican cuisine that I know…. This is amazing!!!” Everything was delicious! The service was exceptional! Everyone was so friendly and attentive! We love this place! We’ll be back for sure! ❤️
