Known as the “Mexican Hooters,” Texas-based Ojos Locos Sports Cantina is set to open its first Southern California location in Chula Vista.
Ojos Locos, meaning “crazy eyes” in Spanish, is a Mexican restaurant and sports bar concept founded in Dallas, TX, back in 2010 by restaurateurs including Randy DeWitt, the owner of the parent company that previously established Twin Peaks, another infamous ‘breastaurant.’ The first Ojos Locos restaurant debuted alongside the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and since then, the chain has been dedicated to showcasing both international and domestic soccer matches at all of its locations. With over two dozen branches mainly in Texas, this sports bar chain is renowned for its bilingual waitresses referred to as “chicas,” who sport eye-catching uniforms.
Ojos Locos Sports Cantina in Chula Vista coming soon.
Despite facing opposition from the community, the first-ever California location of Ojos Locos is making its way to the Southeast Los Angeles city of Downey. As for the San Diego branch, it will soon occupy the space currently held by Buffet House within the Palomar Commerce shopping center in West Chula Vista. Similar to its other branches, you can expect a menu featuring a delectable fusion of Mexican and American cuisine, including mouthwatering appetizers, refreshing salads, juicy burgers, savory sandwiches, tantalizing wings, flavorful tacos, sizzling fajitas, and satisfying entrees, all served alongside an extensive drink selection.
Ojos Locos Sports Cantina is scheduled to welcome customers by the end of the year at 693 Palomar Street, Suite 10, in Chula Vista. You can get more information on their website here; Ojos Locos Sports Cantina.

Since we are getting close to the 4th of July celebrations here in Chula Vista I have a photo from 2005. Who remembers back when the celebration and fireworks used to take place at the J St. Marina? I do, it was a lot of fun and so many people miss it. When they made the decision to stop having it at the Marina so many people were upset. It was the biggest summer celebration we had in Chula Vista. They had live music, vendors, games, food and of course fireworks. You had to get there at the crack of dawn to get a good spot at the bay.
This is going to be the first time I go to the Chula Vista 4th of July Fest at the training center. I’m curious to see how it is and if I will be back. My hopes are that once they build the new resort and hotel at the J St. Marina they will bring the 4th of July fireworks back to the bay. Let’s all cross our fingers.
The new Raising Canes at the Chula Vista Center is now open. I was out there to see how it was and the place was a mad house. The traffic was crazy. They had the drive-thru snake all the way to Subway in the mall and then cut across the parking lot. Pretty sure this weekend it is going to get even worse. I will check it out, but after the hype wears off.
Here is a little throw back Thursday for you. I took this photo back in 2006 when they were almost ready to open the Otay Ranch Town Center. They had a media day and invited all the media out to see the new mall and talk about all the great things coming. In 2006 there wasn’t much in the area. Pretty much everything south of the mall was empty. Flash forward to now and it is completely different. Not only has the mall changed, but the area around it.
I have a ton of old photos from Chula Vista, Eastlake and Bonita so stay tuned cause there is plenty more coming.
