Thovo Mariscos & Birria - (Near Chula Vista, CA)

Jenny R We came here for a late-night bite and were so glad to find a spot open late in the area. The portions are generous, and the cheese donkatsu is a rare find in the Bay Area. The Korean fried chicken is also authentic and delicious. Will definitely be coming back!

Tia Bazzani Our waiter Ricardo was awesome. We will be back. Seared Ahi tuna was amazing.

Ryan Fresh food and upscale dining experience! The dining area is quaint and adds to the ambiance. The food is priced accordingly to the quality of ingredients and I would say the drinks were maybe a bit on the higher priced end. It was around $300 for 2 people but we did order a few drinks, an app and both had the special which was $64 each. The pork belly as an app was amazing and very rich and light at the same time which is very hard to come by! The the 14 oz ribeye was just as good and also very flavorful and fresh. The chutney on top was also one of a kind and everything from the salad and duck fat fried potatoes paired perfectly. The servers were also very attentive and present which added to the great experience. I would recommend this place over Makse down the street for better quality food and a “lighter” meal. Perfect for a date night and can’t wait to go again!

Andre Manzoni I really like my experience over there. The server was very attractive to details. The food was soo rich in flavor. I personally loved the paella. I totally recomed this place.

Toshi I took my son for the 1st time and he loved it! The Mahi tacos are my absolute favorite! Blaine was so hospitable. He gave us a little beer knowledge which was nice. They always have the best music playing. The taco Tuesdays are my favorite! Definitely go check this place out. Oh yeah, dont forget to ask about the hottest hot sauce. Also my favorite ☺️..

J. Hines Great overall experience! Our server Laura was a gem as well! After experiencing several over priced restaurant in Cali, our friends suggested that we visit Norms before heading to the airport and Im glad that they did! I ordered the 1/4 cheeseburger that came with fries and a drink all for $11.99! I wondered if we were still in Cali with those prices. We had a party of 6 and although there werent many people in the restaurant, we ended up waiting a bit for our food. But Laura made it up to us though. While I really wish I could show you pictures of my food, I gobbled it down as soon as it touched the table. Im not sure if my burger was supposed to come with 2 patties of meat, but it did. The sandwich was so thick that I had to remove one of the patties! The lettuce and tomatoes were so fresh, they looked like what other restaurants promote in commercials! My nephew ordered a milkshake and not only did she bring the milkshake in a glass but she also brought him the residuals, which added up to another half of a shake! I will look to return when I go back to Cali. Coincidentally, I first saw the restaurant in a movie on the plane while heading to LA- so it was pretty cool going and I was very pleased with our experience.
