“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.”

“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!”

“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.

They have plenty of indoor seating. Also a nice outdoor patio. First time seeing an outdoor patio at Del Taco. Everything looked new.”
