Chamorro Grill

Judy Amoui

Bought 4 dinners for family 7/20. Everyone enjoyed and remarked how good it was. Recently visited 5/20/22 Friday Brought coworker to late lunch inside. Ordered combo plates.. Very tasty chicken and beef .. side of empanada .. Empanada was really good.. tasty. The only thing I tasted differently (since last review) was the kimchee daigo was not same strength as the 1st. The "base" was a bit off.. possibly from cucumbers. It was ok.. not as spot on as before. Also tried mac salad side.. possibly a little more work there is needed. Next to try will be the shrimp patty.. forgot to order it. Otherwise all else was great. Friendly local atmosphere. Outside seating available. A must try for anyone looking for island style cusine. Thru Uber eats delivery. I must say years ago when I first moved to San Diego I was totally Unhappy with the food and never went back..being a Chamorro myself I tend to be picky about 'Local' foods.This time since way back I must say my Pork Rib and beef combo was very good. What a difference since back then. I will give other choices a try as well. I am not too fond of clear pancit noodles. I prefer original Guam style Pancit. I will be coming back and probably introducing some Cali friends in the neighborhood to this place. PS.. the kimchee diago cucumber was well prepared too. No complaints there.

CAUTION: The place DOES NOT like those with disabilities to dine there. The OWNER and his wife (waitress) literally just complained to my family about the noise my autistic nephew was making (which is uncontrollable) while they waited forever for their order. Then, after they had complained about the poor service received, they immediately claimed to know my family and said we “always” complain…uh, I’ve been maybe twice (not much because I know what kind of service I’d be getting into by coming there) NOT TO MENTION: they’re always understaffed, so unless you have a bunch of time to wait, FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE TO EAT. As a Chamorro, I try to support but I’m always underwhelmed every time and always have to wait forever. This place is average food for being overly priced. I’d rather goto SMACK’N Grill in Mira Mesa. At least, they take care of their customers. My family can make the same dishes much more delicious for FAR LE$$. Long story short, we won’t be going there anymore and neither should you. [coming soon…owner’s unprofessional response, as seen before] UPDATE (in response to the owner): It’s clear that you deal with many upset customers because you’re not exactly describing the incident that happened to my family so it’s pointless to continue going back and forth. BUT yes, my family had been coming for years….It’s called “SUPPORT” for fellow Chamorros, which made them look the other way on your OVERPRICED FOOD AND POOR SERVICE. And Yes, you gave the money back because we complained, and there wouldn’t have been a complaint IF THERE WASN’T AN ISSUE with your restaurant.. Now, You don’t have to tell us to shop elsewhere because your AVERAGE-QUALITY RESTAURANT WITH POOR SERVICE let us know we should shop elsewhere. TO FUTURE READERS: Save yourself time and lots of money, in the words of the owner himself, “shop somewhere else”.

Absolutely delicious food! Chamorro grill is an amazing hole in the wall with great service and delicious food. The prices are comparable to the location and the quantity of food is good enough to satisfy the hungers of any person. Personal favorites are John’s teriyaki chicken and the empanadas. The grill can get busy around lunch time so it is recommended to call ahead or have time to sit and wait (15-20 min on a slow day). Have gone three times and have not been disappointed yet. Highly recommend you give it a shot and take an appetite.

Tasty. First let me say that as a Chamorro, we can be very critical and picky about authentic cuisine. Recently my B.I.L. and Nephew chose to use them for a Family Celebration of Life gathering. As most Chamorro families the food would be provided by potluck from family members. For this event, due to the quantity of guests additional food was sought from the Grill. First complaint is that they stated they could not have the food prepared for the scheduled time of the event. Requiring the family to alter the event plans. Second, they gave a time for pick up, and when the family member arrived to pick the food up, it was not ready. Obviously causing a delay in the event timing of food serving to guests. It is my opinion that a caterer provides the food or service when required by the customer, not the reverse, That a good business is timely and meets the customers need. Will think twice before using their services again or if at all!
