Otay Ranch Town Center

Great selections of stores in a very nice atmosphere. They have made it like a little town street with shops. It would be nice to see some more «men» tailored stores may be a cigar shop, a fine men’s store etc along with another coffee shop closer to the strip. Otherwise it is a very nice place to shop.

This mall has seen a lot of changes over the years… some good, some bad! I continue to go since it’s close to my house but I am hoping they get a few more good stores. It has lots of restaurant choices and we love the movie theatre. Luckily the Barnes and noble has stayed throughout the years too.

This mall is the most boring one of all. There is not much of a variety of stores to go to and there is also not very high end stores as I was expecting. It’s a waste of time overall with not many stores and it’s lonely.

Otay Ranch Town Center is a favorite mall for me to shop. Very clean and all my favorite stores are here Banana Republic, Apple Store, book store, coffee house and Macy’s. Good restaurants and a movie house.
Not crowded and parking is not a problem.

Best mall in Chula Vista, pet friendly, great dog park, very clean and friendly! Otay Pet Vets hospital is right next to the pet park and highly rated!

Venga Venga Cantina and tequila bar was the BEST restaurant there in this mall and the only FUN and AWESOME place with the BEST happy hour in the area!!! and GGP Mall Management goes and EVICTS Venga Venga with absolutely NO WARNING!!! Now all the great employees are left with no jobs! and customers are left with no more venga venga! This place was awesome, and look what GGP MALL MANAGEMENT did to us? Venga Venga was on fire and it was banging every weekend! Nothing will ever compare! There are alot of upset people in our community because of this… Thanks alot for taking away our every weekend place to go! VERY DISAPPOINTING! :(

Came to this mall because it’s an outdoor mall. I thought I rated this place.
This mall has high end stores such as Macy’s, Sephora, Coach, and other name brands. I love shopping here cause it also has DSW. I ended up buying a pair of sandals here. Love coming here.
This place has a food court which I don’t care for. I like eating at Chilli’s or other food restaurants near by. Food court kind of sucks.
This mall has plenty of parking throughout the mall and is dog friendly.

Nice outdoor shopping center. I like how nowadays they keep them up and looking nice. The stores are good and plenty of stuff to do.

Extremely pretty and they have a lot of nice stores. Not extremely crowded which is great as well. As for the food court though… Very limited selection.

Key points:
1) Outdoor mall — plenty of benches, an open eating area, and a small dog park.
2) Some of my favorite places to shop: Best Buy, Comics-​n-​Stuff, Barnes and Nobles, REI.
3) AMC
4) Buffalo Wild Wings, Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen — I enjoy these dining establishments.
5) Every Tuesday they have a farmers market
For a full store directory just search for the mall online.

Great place to go shopping with your doggie friends this mall has water bowls (with water, of course), plastic bags for doggie poopies & a small dog park at the end of the mall.
Every Tuesday, they hold a farmers market from 4−8ish. Theres a lot of food vendors and fresh produce vendors.
On a regular schedule, this mall is empty most of the times. Since its outdoors, it get really hot during summer and if it rains, you’re doomed. Also, there aren’t any good stores to shop in besides anthropology & sephora…

Really nice property. Clean and elegant décor, yet not too ritzy and gaudy. This place is easy to navigate because it is basically one long strip… so that’s nice :)
There is a small variety of shops, but don’t expect to be blown away. However dont totally write this place off before you try it… some main stream shops are present that i would expect while others are missing. however there are also some smaller, independent shops that nice to see and have a unique variety of stuff.
Apple, Banana Republic, REI, Vans, & PF Changs all in one place? cool wit me B)
overall a thumbs up, but i wouldn’t drive all the way to Otay on the reg. its just too far.

I’m primarily giving a one star rating for the poor security services that this mall offers.
On two separate occasions, this mall’s security provide the worst type of security I’ve ever seen. First, one of my nieces was hit by a kid riding a skateboard on the main walk way. I don’t understand why they don’t police ignorant children when you can clearly see people walking on the main walk way.
During a second instance, one of my friends was having trouble with her car. She reached out to mall security for assistance with jump-​starting her car. She told me that when mall security came up to her, she asked if they had jumper cables or the ability to jump-​start her vehicle, & the security guy radioed back to HQ & their response (loudly on their walkie), «uh.that’s a negative.» The he rode off on his Segway. Mind you, this was also at night. A female was in need of help & the security guard was helpless. So, she reached out to me to go give her car a jump-​start.
The people who are supposed to «secure» the well-​being of their patrons are the most useless people I’ve ever seen. All they do is ride around on their Segway pretending to be busy. Reminds me of the movie, Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
If you happen to frequent this mall, just be quick with your business & avoid interacting with the useless security guards.

It is so out of the way, but on the plus side it is never that busy.
The food court is lacking, but it is such a cute nice little shopping mall.
I love that there are water bowls for dogs outside most shops.

I love the feel of this «town center» «mall.» Well… it’s NOT QUITE a mall but so different from a strip mall. I’d say it’s in the middle!
What I love about this place is that it is so dog friendly! If I could bring both my fur-​kids here they would love it! Some stores have a doggie bowl at the door (just in case they are thirsty from walking around with their parent (s). Doggie bag (poop bags for those who are not canine inclined) are dispersed though out the Town Center.
There is a night market that stages on the main road between the stores between 4−8pm on Tuesdays. From what I saw, various food stands as well as crafted items but no veggies/​fruits or flowers. All in all, a great place to hang if you decide you want to do something a little different from your routine.
Not that many stores that appeal to the younger generation (i’m guessing 20 y.o. and below) but there were a few of my favorite shops there:
— Anthropologie
— Aldos
— REI
— Gap
— Barnes & Noble
— Macys
— Sephora
— LOFT
— DSW
There are a variety of places to eat as well that include Romano’s Macaroni Grill, PF Changs, The Cheesecake Factory, Chilis (all mostly chain restaurants but still better than the typical food court choices).
I like this place and it wasn’t crowded like Fashion Valley Mall. Perfect for an afternoon outing without all the fuss. Parking was a breeze!

Good mall but a lot of «Socials» meaning high class TJ people (some are kind of snobby) with there tight Banana Republic shirts & lil dirty pumas shoes that look like bowling shoes. But hey it’s ok that’s some of my family right there.
Love that you can bring your doggie & there’s water everywhere. But please if your dog goes Caca please clean up his Caca, gracias.

This mall is outdoor, new, pretty. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many stores. And the food court is VERY limited. I still rate this mall 4 stars bc of what they offer. It’s best to come here if you have a purpose, like a specific store you need to go to. They also have a little water play area that’s great for little kids to run around in on hot days. We also enjoy coming here on Tuesday afternoon/​evenings during the farmers market to walk around… The library is small but also a nice little place to stop in, especially during story time… Around the corner on the West end of the mall, there’s even a dog park where your dogs can run around in… Of course there’s also several restaurants and the theater too!
A few wks ago, my daughter celebrated her 4^th bday… Her n her friends got their hair braided at Pigtails & Crewcuts. We then went across to the food court where we set up a section for our party. The mall was very accommodating.

This particular mall has all of the things that potentially make a great mall. Large spacious parking lots, great anchor stores. Plenty of areas outside (this is San Diego), and a great location. The only downside is that there are way too many store vacancies… which at a point in time may be Ok, but seems to be the trend since this mall was built 8 years ago. Really would like to see more stores and more variety of stores.

Classic Otay Ranch. Beautiful outdoor mall (not too many in San Diego) — but the shops are not ideal. A lot of them don’t even stay there that long. It has the attempt to have the «Rodeo Drive» look.
Mall Highlight stores:
— Anthropologie
— Aldo
— Francesca’s
…but you can find these stores at other malls too… lol
What they DO have that I was obsessed with in High School, but they closed down @ Parkway Plaza is MELT! i’m obsessed with the Almond Coconut Fudge. The mall also has Jalepenos — which has amazing adobada.
This place is also dog friendly — there is a dog park and there are plenty being walked around the mall.

This is a pretty nice opened type mall with a huge AMC theater and plenty of places to eat for any budget. The land escaping is very well kept and is quite lovely (
) I like walking up down the sidewalks window shopping and people watching. (
)
Every Tuesday they host a Farmer’s Market from 4 pm to 8 pm in that open center are of the mall. The market is full of artisan, shops and plenty of great vendors to get some good eats from. Parking is plentiful and security is always visible. The mall offers a small food court and library. There is a Starbucks café located inside the Barne’s and Noble.
A nice shopping center with plenty for all to do and one of the most picturesque of the bunch. Oh yes, on the out skirts of the parking lot, there’s a paint ball place.
