Today, we’re celebrating a milestone .🎉

Bosslady’s 5-Year Anniversary! ❤️

Five years ago, Mariana embarked on a wild kitchen adventure with Balboa, bringing her A-game from her resume, which includes server, nutrition department at a hospital, Barista at Starbucks, and Executive Chef for the NAVY - talk about a career plot twist! 😎

She’s been sprinkling her magic dust, sharing her expertise, culture, and crazy-good ideas, playing a starring role in making The Balboa South the phenomenal place it’s today.
In October 2021, she leveled up to owner, inspiring us all with her awesomeness.
To us, she’s not just the boss - she’s our guiding light, mentor, personal chef, and mom, always ready with a smile, a hug, and a joke.
We’re super grateful to have her .
Here’s to many more years of excellence, Bosslady!

Happy Anniversary!
Your Balboa Familia 🩷

What people say

The Balboa South on Third Avenue in Chula Vista is a fantastic family-style restaurant that offers award-winning burgers and fries. What's great about family-style restaurants is that they provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere where families can come together to enjoy delicious food and drinks. The Balboa South takes this concept to the next level by offering a pet-friendly environment, making it the perfect place for families with furry friends.

One of the best things about The Balboa South is their commitment to using only fresh ingredients in their dishes. Their burgers are never frozen, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor. Additionally, they collaborate with local breweries to offer a variety of craft beer selections that perfectly complement their menu.

The restaurant has been open since 2015 and has quickly become a favorite among locals. They also have seasonal specials like the Cowboy Burger, which was available on Fridays only. The Balboa South is not just a place for families but also for sports teams as they recently hosted Chula Vista High School Baseball & Varsity teams.

Overall, The Balboa South provides an excellent dining experience for anyone looking for delicious food in a friendly atmosphere. So if you're in Chula Vista, make sure to stop by and try one of their mouth-watering burgers or vegan options!
