“The best portobello tacos and the kombucha 😋”

“Great karoake on the weekends!! Bingo and trivia throughout the week.Make sure you get some fries. Also have food specials daily. The owners are in the building frequently and make everyone feel welcome regardless of race, sex or creed. There's room for everyone at this bar!!”

“I found the BEST pizza in San Diego. Crust was just right! Not too thick not too thin. The sauce was flavorful with the right amount of spices. My pizza was not greasy from the toppings. We ordered a Greek salad that was crisp and very fresh. The dressing was superb! What a tasty meal. I will be back!”

“The coconut shrimp is amazing! Excellent food and service! The owner Paul does a fabulous job!”

“I am new to IB and am just so impressed with Katy's Cafe! They are busy (so you know they're good!), but they get your order out quick. The staff is friendly, inviting and accommodating! I had my dog and daughter and they could obviously tell that I had my hands full and brought my order outside to me without me even asking. I have definitely found my go to local coffee shop!”

“Entre a probar los tacos de adobada, el güero que me atendio muy amable se tomó el tiempo de explicar todo el menu , termine comiendo un plato con arroz y frijol y tres tacos , todo delicioso!!!!!”

“After Gustave had catered an event at our preschool for the second time, he invited my colleagues and I to come by his new location in downtown, and we did! He served us personally and recommended just the right menu items for our preferences (vegetarian, spicy, mild,...), ordered them and served them. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasty hotdogs, corn and fries. Let's not forget about the drinks from the Abbey and the sweet desert: churro with ice cream! The atmosphere was casual, festive with the strings of lights and the very recently installed inflatable penguin on the roof, that conveyed Holiday cheer! Thank you Gus for a delightful evening!”

“Coffee Shop No. 555
Trident Coffee
Imperial Beach, CA

Great location. Fabulous reviews. End veteran owned. I was super excited driving to this coffee shop. The parking is not great.

I thought the cortado was just okay. I could tell the coffee bean itself had good flavor, but the cortado fell flat, too much milk and served way too hot.

On a bright note, Trident has some amazing coffee shop stickers which my nieces will love. The best part, I was able to sip it on the porch in the morning California sun. It’s good to be home.

Enjoying life, one coffee shop at a time.”

“Amazing cookies, beautiful owner inside and out!”

“Their Mazapán Iced Coffee is the Best! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 The coffee is always perfect and keeps you wanting more. I highly recommend it.”

“Nice little ice cream shop in a great location by the pier. Service is friendly.
It was a bit busy on July 4th weekend, which is understandable.
They offer a variety of I've cream as well as shaved ice, hot and cold drinks.”

“Great burgers. Outstanding customer service”

“Never knew that they deliver locally! THAT,... was a great surprise”

“I always order takeout from here, and the food never disappoints. Everything is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Their Thai tea is also so good and always a must with my order. Definitely one of my go-to spots for Thai food!”

“Can’t say enough great things about El Tapatio! Got the chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. The queso was very yummy, my family was raving about it. Our waitress was the best with giving us the perfect recommendations for what we were in the mood for. 🫶🏻”

“This place is seriously great food with great prices. There is really no need to ever get fast food with this place serving better food at the same price you would pay at fast food burger places. The staff is always wonderful and make it a great place to eat. My family and I have never been disappointed with the burgers, wings or tenders. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to stop here. You will not be disappointed.”

“I’ve been going to Filippi’s in Little Italy since I was a little girl, so it was fun to visit the Imperial Beach location in my old neighborhood! We had the vegetarian pizza, cheese ravioli with meat sauce, metal sandwich and a delicious house salad. I really enjoyed the sauce on the ravioli, and the spumoni was a lovely way to finish our meal.

The service was friendly and welcoming, and having plenty of parking and no long wait made the visit even better. A great spot for a relaxed dinner in the South Bay!”

“Always a pleasure to eat and drink at this restaurant in Imperial Beach. Jackie sat us down immediately and paid attention to my request by reading what I asked for in the Open Table app. Tara is an awesome bartender and made me a great vodka martini. Nice and icy cold! My server too was awesome!”

“The food is just perfect,good portions”

“I DO recommend Pizza Port, however their pizza is not consistent. You can definitely tell if they are busy or not, the quality goes down. A few weeks ago the pizza was delicious, beautiful even (I wish I would have taken a picture) lol. Today, not so much , picture included. I will continue to eat here just hoping the pizza becomes more consistent”

“My Son took me there to enjoy a nice, juicy hamburger, fries and appetizers and he told me it was a pretty good burger place; well he was WRONG!!! The hamburgers were delicious so, were the fries and appetizers and the drinks; but what TRULY made it extra special was the very welcoming, friendly atmosphere!!! Eileen our serve was very polite, professional, kind, with great customer service skills and very attentive to every single one of her customers. We truly enjoyed eating at Scotty B’s and I highly recommend this place for everyone including families. There are some hamburgers extra spicy, but I can assure you that your taste buds will definitely enjoy their delicious and well prepared food. Eileen is definitely a keeper, but aim sure the rest of the staff will also go above and beyond to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
THANK YOU Scotty B’s and Aileen for the delightful and one of a kind experience.

“Great Mexican food items. I enjoy their Machaca Burrito. It is filling and always leaves me feeling better, warmer, and healthier than when I arrived. This Machaca Burrito is my baseline for assessing other Mexican food places. I also enjoy their Carne Asada, Adobada, and California Burritos.”

“Had a lot of fun. Highly recommended”

“Better Buzz in Imperial Beach is seriously the best! Everything tastes so fresh and clean, and the environment is absolutely phenomenal. The worker with the blonde hair is literally the best—he’s always so kind, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is satisfied. You can really tell he cares about the people he serves. Definitely come to this location—you won’t regret it! 🍵🫰🏼”

“Had a great experience here at this Cold Stone. The worker Ilenia gave the most amazing customer service! Her interaction with my family absolutely made our day! She is very sweet and kind and has a heart of gold. We live in Chula Vista but my family will make the drive just to come to this Cold Stone to interact with Ilenia!”

“we have done our morning drinking and noon drinking the the vibe is super chill, perfect enough to get the day, music is always good and service is good. The usual locals are friendly and we have little conversations without it becoming a drag.”

“Muy rico y excelente atención por parte de Nancy☺️🙌🏻”

“Food was great. Burgers are much better eaten in store as wrapped in foil they did get soggy on the drive home. Tasted great though. Quite expensive especially with In and Out much nearest my house. Good but pricy.”

“I spent many years in the San Diego area and Don Pancho's machaca burrito was a must have as often as possible! I wish they could ship some to Ohio!!”

“this is my spot for the fights😆ufc-boxing or whatever the case may be👍”

“Such a darn cool place. Loved the vibes, the drinks, the service, the music, it was all AWESOME! Every hour of the day that this place is open - they bring good vibes to Imperial Beach. 🏖️”

“One of the nicest Del Taco I've visited.
I was in the area and was craving Del taco. This location happened to be near by. Plenty of free parking. The restaurant is large and super clean. The staff is friendly. I ordered aa breakfast burrito with steak and a value bean and cheese burrito. Both were quickly freshly prepared and tasted yummy.
They have plenty of indoor seating. Also a nice outdoor patio. First time seeing an outdoor patio at Del Taco. Everything looked new.”
