Filibertos Chula Vista Reviews
This might be my favorite restaurant ever. It is bare bones service, a barely adequate dining from, but the food is amazing.
I got the carne asada fries with hot cheetos, i cant lie it was good but the shit i took was unbelivable i probably lost a pound 🙏‼️
This isn't the best place BUT, it is miles better than Chipotle. Literally every single ingredient is slightly better than Chipotle and the tortillas are way better. Get a Steak burrito at Chipotle and get a Carne Asada burrito here and compare them head to head. FIlbertos is wayyyyy better. Its got more meat and Filbertos has a drive through. The 2 burritos cost roughly the same. Is this the best Mexican food in Vista? No. Is it better than Chipotle at a similar price point and with a drive through? Yes
This place has really good food selection and offers from traditional Mexican food to custom depending on what u like. The customer service is really great from Lorena, who was working the cash register when I dine in. The kitchen staff are fast at preparing meals for drive tru orders and fine in orders. I will definitely be back, u should try it u will like it.
Good bean and cheese burrito. That’s the only thing worth getting here in my opinion. The carne casada is unseasoned, like literally taste like stew meat heated up with hardly any salt or pepper. at least when I ordered two carne asada burritos. This place should start caring more, they’d have more people go
Hey foo!? What happened? What's going on? You guys have been lacking. I order Adobada Fries $16 ish bucks The french fries don't seem fully cooked. Parts of the shredded cheese looks old and translucent. The guacamole 🥑 was barely added and bland but The adobada was seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection 🤌 which was the saving grace 2 /10 ....also I bought a fish taco 🌮 3/10
Food is alright at times and but I ordered 3 carne asada burritos at lunch time and they seem to use old carne asada meat that feels like I’m biting into rocks. Complaints from my grandma and girlfriend about the meat being too hard as well. I’m not trying to be rude and ungrateful but if I’m going to pay almost $50 for food I expect the restaurant to at least cook fresh quality meat for families in our community.
Summary: Cold food. (Many others have mentioned this) Ordered inside. Asked what size the tacos and was shown the tortillas size by a cook. Said ok and got 2 carne asada to go. I work like 2 blocks away. Sat down to eat. Looked decent. Not very much “guacamole” but whatever. As long as it tastes good. Took a bite and 1st thing I noticed was how cold it was. I drove maybe 5 minutes with the couple stop lights between there and work. I could understand if it had cooled down some but this has not been hot for a long time. Disappointed. The next taco was slightly warmer but still cold. My guess is they premade a bunch of generic items so that they can be quick for the drive though. I ate the tacos and I’m full but not satisfied. I would not recommend or go here again unfortunately. There are too many other Mexican places close by to waste $10 on mediocre tacos. In fact, I’d pay more for better quality and for the food to be hot. ¡Que lástima!
I used to frequent Filiberto's years ago. Then i moved to Oceanside for 10 years and just recently moved back to Vista. Their food is nowhere near as good as it used to be. I would no longer recommend them at all.
Honestly the food here is so delicious and worth the drive/wait. What's frustrating is that every time I order a dessert they charge me for it and forget to give it to me so I get everything else minus my dessert. Today I ordered a burrito, a quesadilla, quesbirria combo and flan and again they forgot the flan. I'm pregnant and literally was so excited for the flan just to find out I didn't get it....
Carne asada fries were the worst I've ever had ANYWHERE. Tastes like it had been sitting in its own grease, refrigerated 2 days, reheated, and thrown on soggy greasy cold fries. I tried putting their hit sauce on it but even that wouldn't cover the horrible aftertaste. I am not a picky eater and usually I love filibertos...but this was the most disgusting flavor. Inky 2 stars because my bf said his chicken fries were OK. Cold, but ok flavor. Disappointing. Lost faith in Filibertos. 30 bucks and it was a really nasty dinner that I won't touch. Long wait made us think it would be fresh.. nope
We ordered Conor Asada tortoise and we got a slice of skirt steak not cut up with just lettuce. I will never eat here again and I don't recommend anyone to eat here. I wouldn't feed this to my dog.
Now I see why I stop eating here. I Used to come to Filiberto’s all the time. The rice was hard the meat tastes like it’s been sitting awhile. The lady that took my order acted like I was an inconvenience. I don’t recommend this place wast of money stay away.
Very very poor customer service. They got my order wrong. They didn’t fill my drink up all the way. They had no manners what so ever. Won’t be coming here again, ever.
Order 5 rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. Only got two and the rest was just guacamole and cheese!!!!! Are you kidding me I didn’t ask for a bowl of guacamole and cheese with a splash of sour cream. I won’t even bother to call them or go back bc fast food restaurants like them are usually always rude and don’t care. Make sure to always always always check your food in front of them before you drive away.
La comida sabe a cartón. 🤢🤮🤮🤮 The food tastes like cardboard. You will NOT find Real Mexican Food here. This is CHEAP carnival food and is like eating cardboard with hot sauce on it. This is the worst "Mexican" food I have ever eaten in my lifetime. It is an embarrassment and is NOT authentic. All the food is very bland. The cheapest ingredients they could find at a grocery store. Tortillas are stale and hard to cut through. The churro's are also stale, hard and flakey trash. The enchilada was dripping with pools of grease, it was disgusting, I took one bite. The bean and cheese burrito was very hard to cut through, I can't imagine digesting this garbage. They also thought I ordered an extra single burrito which I did not. It looked like a burrito but was actually just strips of tortilla's rolled up to look like a burrito. Take a look at the photos, it's bizarre. So they are basically a failed establishment that is hurting and clearly trying to rip people off for extra money. I hope they go out of business so we can replace it with Authentic, real food. La comida sabe a cartón. 🤢🤮🤮🤮 The food tastes like cardboard.
