“It was my first time visiting Coin Haus, and I had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun and full of good vibes. Jose, one of the staff members, was fantastic—he took the time to explain how everything worked and was super friendly throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great time with a welcoming atmosphere!“

“I haven't had BBQ this good in San Diego. If you are craving legit smoked meats this place is awesome. service is as good as the food.“

“Swami's has the perfect local vibe with great food and great service! We recommend them to visitors and locals who don't know yet. It is a great La Mesa dining option!“

“Loved the indoor/outdoor garden setting that had comfortable temps on a warm summer evening. Surprised and delighted by the size of the servings - the delicious cauliflower appetizer was so abundant that I decided to share a salad - after enjoying chips and salsa, of course. Great salsa - not too mild nor too spicy. My husband said the carne enchiladas were delicious - and again, an abundant serving - which accommodated the higher prices.“

“T&A Adventures is @ The Hills Local Pub in La Mesa California having THE BEST BURGER of our adventures so far! I mean WOW! Juicy deliciousness! Garlic Parm Burger - Half Pound patty, candied jalapeño bacon, swiss, garlic aioli, arugula, tomato, brioche bun, parmesean crisp - Served w Fries. Absolute 🔥! Our Server "Jordan" was awesome too.“

“I live out east nowadays, but I visit my hometown in La Mesa yearly. Came to Curbside for the first time last year, and just now went back again. I wish we had food like this around here when I was growing up!! My gosh, the short rib beef is incredible. Had it on a salad last time, and just now had the short rib taco along with an equally impressive fish taco. I got a few bites of the beef kebab too, and it was just as top-notch! Great seating options with a view of La Mesa Blvd. Good beer list too. And wonderful staff. I wish I had more time to try more of the menu—but I’ll be back every time I’m in San Diego down the line. Wishing the best to Curbside!“

“My biscuit and gravy were the 💣! Can't wait to go back🙂“

“We have been dining at Patty's for about 6 years.Well love the food. It has a homemade flavor that we appreciate.We have our favorite items such as the Carne Asada burrito served with rice and beans and the 1/2 lb Sirloin burger topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms, served with perfectly streamed veggies and mashed potatoes. It also comes with either salad or soup. Salads are good and I definitely recommend their Lemony chicken and rice soup. Also included is your choice of bread.The wait staff is always friendly and attentive.Patty's has a diner feel.“

“This is a good place to go for comfort food, especially their hamburgers.

Vegetarian options: I believe they have salads.

Dietary restrictions: The staff is very nice. I'm pretty sure they will work with you if you have dietary restrictions.

Parking: There's lots of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: This is a very family friendly restaurant and there's lots of games and stuff for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are welcome. Everything is level and plenty of room inside to navigate your wheelchair.“

“I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for the staff at this location.We were out of town and returned on Christmas and needed a ham for our Christmas dinner.I got to the store three (3) minutes before they closed, and they STILL served me with patience. They were scheduled to close at 4:30 p.m. and I got there at 4:27 p.m.I really thought I was up the creek and would not our dinner meat. Needless to say the thought caused me to be in a slight panic. ALL of the employees were calm and patient in processing my purchase.I'll always remember this experience with gratitude.“
