Downtown Chula Vista has everything you need to make mom feel special this Mother’s Day. The walkable stretch of locally loved businesses along Third Avenue offers everything from dining and beauty to shopping to ensure a memorable holiday.

Take the cooking off mom’s plate by having brunch at La Nacional or Talavera Azul, where bold Mexican flavors and a lively atmosphere will ease everyone into the morning celebration. Lunch options in the neighborhood include La Pesca Cevicheria Baja, with a menu filled with authentic ceviche and Baja-style seafood and California Sushi with a fusion of traditional Japanese flavors with a south of the border kick. Stop by local-favorite Balboa South for dinner and enjoy fun (and delicious) takes on American classics. With a focus on quality ingredients and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, it’s a go-to spot for celebrating, dining well, and gathering with loved ones.

What better way to thank mom than with a day of pampering? Downtown Chula Vista has everything from hair and nail salons to spas that will guarantee a day of feeling and looking good. Book mom an appointment at Vals Hair Salon, Paragon Designers or Ambiance Hair Lounge, where a trained stylist will have her relaxing and leaving with her hair refreshed. A stop at meTyme Beauty Lounge will pamper mom with a manicure and pedicure that lasts long past Mother’s Day, and The Beauty Loft by BB Skin will have her glowing for days. For those looking for a full day of revitalization, Orchid Thai Spa and Bodyworks offers everything from massages and facials to peels. Don’t wait!
