Chiroy's Cafe
Authentic Guatemalan · Mexican · American
Every plate made from scratch, every morning, by the family that's fed San Diego since 2017.
Our story
“I came from my pueblo speaking quiché, and learned everything new. The one thing I never changed is how we cook.”
Chiroy's opened in National City in 2017, a small family kitchen serving the food Martin grew up with in Guatemala. Word spread the old-fashioned way: plate by plate.
In 2024 the family moved the whole kitchen, clay pot included, to the Casa de Oro Shopping Center in Spring Valley. Same recipes, same scratch cooking, same welcome. New neighborhood.
From our guests
“This place should literally have a line outside the door! The food tastes like a great homemade meal in a world full of food chains.”
“The Guatemalan breakfast was amazing, very fresh! They did not disappoint.”
“Great cafe de olla, chorizo and eggs, and the salsa is tasty. Staff is super friendly and prices are fair.”
