Andale Restaurant Bar

Had brunch on a Sunday Everything was amazing the service Food and entertainment clean place would recommend

I'm about to bring you the peoples! Ok peoples, want to go out on a taco Tuesday? Nothing beats $2 tacos! Real tacos at that! Came here from a FB event that popped up on my feed and thought to myself... we gotta go! Made the trek here, the location of off Bonita rd with plenty of parking. It is a restaurant bar but gives more of bar vibes. The bar is VERY large but didn't partake in any alcoholic drinks. We came for TACOS! I was surprised to see that we were the only other customers there, only one other table had people so our food came out very quick. A plus for us... but if you want taco Tuesday with a not so busy place this is it! The tacos available were carne asada, pollo, fish, tripitas and a few others that I can't remember but they don't skip out on the options. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars and this is more of a personal preference is that the tortillas were kinda hard along the edges and didn't seem fresh to me. They had a good flavor nonetheless and the meat in the tacos was on point! Our server was very nice and attentive, made our visit an easy one. We might make it our Tuesday spot moving forward just need more fresh tortillas :)

It is truly sad to see there is zero willingness to value customers at this place. It is really stupid for servers or bartenders at Andale's to denied a soccer match to a customer, especially when you are going to a "Sports Bar". We had a soccer game and about 25 of us wanted to watch a soccer match after our game. I stopped at Andales and the woman who was serving/bar tendering basically stated that she was not going to check if the game was on, on her TV. as she had no time... and she was not willing to lend the remote control... Does she think she is at home? Dude,. there were 5 people in the whole restaurant!~ Where is the owner when this is happening? So we left to Tiki bar around the block. Dude! the manager at Tiki bar went above and beyond to help us and was very appreciative we he saw the big crowd of friends coming in to watch the game. The difference, well... Tiki bar is always full (GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE) and Andale Restaurant it is surprisingly, always empty. Hopefully, the owners get it right by hiring or training people to value their customers. I have to say that last year, they did have an amazing Argentinian young woman, who was beautiful, so attentive and yup, willing to get us a game... Salud!

Sucks its already 9:30 pm the whole place is empty but all the tables and bar area is RESERVED..

Great music until they got rid of Manuel and his bad and replaced them with a trio of ladies, which are good just not the same feel or fun.Irene is one badass bartender, made us feel like we belonged, but has since left (problem with owner). DJ was told not to play too much Mexican Music. Heard it from a current worker there and also that he yells and berraids his workers and DJ.Went this past Friday and there were only about 15 people...sad.Won't be back anytime soon.

we attended hunk-o-mania here. the bar was a little dingy and the food looked dried out, but the manager had a kind face; a kind of sweet, hard working dad face that you just want to support. i docked major stars because the bartenders were so rude. we bought tickets to attend this show and in my group of 5, a few of us bought sodas to start with. i went up to the bar to ask for a cup of water. the girl took was gone for over 10 minutes. then a second girl came out and said they don't give out cups of water for free. weird, considering every other table had full pitchers of water and cups. she said she gave them waters because they purchased a lot of alcoholic drinks and she could tell i wasn't drinking. uh yeah, i'm the DD. and then they ended up overserving the girls next to us; a girl was falling all over the floor and ended up spilling all their drinks. aren't bartenders supposed to cut people off when they're belligerent? and then the show started and the bartenders made gagging stink faces the whole time. like, save the judgement when you're off the clock, ladies.also the bathroom was disgustingly dirty, but the parking lot was big and convenient.

The food was good, it took way too long. I'm sure the owner know he doesn't have enough employees hire more workers you JA. Probably won't go back if you have to wait an hour for 3 tacos they should be paying me for that. Shame on you you tacos are a dime a dozen in Chula Vista don't waste your money here....plenty of other places to eat at.

Allow me to preface this with the ages of my group. There were four of us ranging from 55-63 and we arrived at Andale around 8:30pm on Friday, January 7 2022. The security guard at the door was charming and politely explained there was a $5 cover charge each because a band was going to be playing around 9:30pm. I asked what happens if they don't show (you know - covid, traffic, etc..) He said they would be there. Reluctantly, we paid cash to the security guard who placed in in his trusty zipped pouch. We entered a bar and saw a handful of patrons. I asked the bartender/server why the menu said NO COVER and the security guard was summoned to the table. He explained that it was an old menu. Of course, no one brought a new menu and no one offered to do anything to accommodate their error (no return of the cover, no discounts on any purchase). The 1st table we picked was in a cold zone so we moved to the opposite side of the bar and found a table with two broken bar stools. The tables were placed directly near a storage area so with Borat like sarcasm, it was real nice. The bar itself was sad and in my personal opinion in need of a good cleaning. Throughout our stay, the female bar keeper was super nice, attentive and she covered both the bar and the server duties. When we asked for a drink menu, she said they were full service and could make anything. So without knowing the prices, we ordered. The drinks were fine and the chorizo fries were great, but I personally want to at least have an idea of how much I'm spending before I decide what to order. Since we paid the cover charge to enter this establishment, we felt obligated to hear some music. The band arrived around 9:30pm and spent 45 excruciatingly long minutes setting up. Some servers dressed in all black showed up and I imagine they were they for the late crowd, because they didn't do anything (aside from retrieving a couple dishes) to provide any service to our table. Keep in mind there were only a few people seated at the bar and a couple tables on the floor with people. Without ever knowing who the band was, we listened to a couple of songs and left around 10:30pm. For what is worth, they band did sound good. On the way out, I looked at the security guard and gave him two thumbs down. He inquired as to why so we talked. He asked what he could do to make it up to me next time. I told him there wouldn't be a next time. Things should have been fixed when we were inside. He told me that I didn't need to talk to him like that. Cross my heart, I was polite and even told him he was a real charmer at the door. He explained there was a cover charge after 8:00pm so I said there should be a sign saying so. In my opinion, this place wasn't designed for inclusivity and appeared to be catering only to a younger crowded and not anyone in our age group.

Food wasn't bad, I had the chicharron and my gf had the cheeseburger. The draft beer was pretty bad the beer was either old, lines weren't maintained, or the CO2 pressure was off. I'f avoid anything on tap I powered through and awful beer as someone sent theirs back and requested a bottle. Purchased tickets drag show here and it was insanely disorganized, the staff had zero change for the show, staff were either preoccupied or attentive yet condescending in tone. The show began we enjoyed one performer and then the place became a standing room -people were directed to just stand in front of your seats. I'd advise against thinking about this venue. The whole experience from beginning to end was as obnoxious as can be.

Went on a Wednesday for kaeeoke.. very disponte. The de was unproffesional . Gave preferences to othera and ignored the list.. NEVER GOING BACK.. ​
