13 Best Fast Food Restaurants in La Mesa

“My kids, me, my husband, my brother in law, my best friend, her family, the list goes on, all LOVE this place. Some of them drive from Chula Vista to eat here. I haven't had a bad dish yet. Carnitas, Carne Asada, Pollo, are all done perfectly. My favorites are the number 1, and the Carnitas Plate. If you're not into meat though try the veggie burrito, the Chile relleno burrito, or the bean n cheese burrito. You can also order the 3 sopes plate with refried beans instead of meat. That plate with meat is a favorite too if you like Sopes. I almost forgot about their chimichangas... I know where I'm headed for lunch today.

Vegetarian options: If you're not into meat though try the veggie burrito, the Chile relleno burrito, or the bean n cheese burrito. You can also order the 3 sopes plate with refried beans instead of meat. Excellent food here.

Kid-friendliness: My kids have been coming here since they were babies. They're teens now.“

“Thanks for Fast Drive Thru, I be back“

“Great food. I really like the fried fish and the burgers are good too its also a woman owned business. the owner is super sweet.“

“It was 7:20pm after a hot day, and I really wanted a good sandwich. The people there were very friendly, and the sandwich was excellent! Sometimes it is not easy to find a good sandwich place in the evening, along with a smiling face! Thank you for being open until 8pm. I will be back.“

“We purchase TO GO every few weeks from Lake Murray location. Every staff contact is excellent, food is prepared hot and fresh with great seasonings and meals are a good value for the dollar. Restaurant and restroom are clean. Parking is good, as is drive through. The rewards program is a nice perk, too.“

“Well, it's Jack in the box, what can you say? I don't usually go to check on the box but there is one thing I will keep going back for when I'm around one and that is the tacos. They used to be 99 cents for two, now they are at $1.79 for two but that's really not bad of an increase considering how everything else has gone up so much in the past couple of years. They are definitely a guilty pleasure and I've never experienced any gastronomic problems from eating them.“

“Always a great experience going to El Pollo Loco La Mesa, There food is alway delicious and fresh. They have a large variety menue to choose from and the prices are good.“

“Tried the krabby patty and it tasted ok nothing special but it was good overall the food was as expected it taste good but the problem I had is I asked for extra veggies and they did not put any in the burger even when confronted they didn’t fix it but other than that food was really good“

“I've ordered their sandwich boxes on a couple of occasions recently. They staff is helpful, gracious, and the sandwiches are always ready on time and very tasty! Highly recommend this location.“

“Don't be a Black customer here. They will send you to the kiosk to pay, yet take cash orders from "other" customers and make you wait 15 minutes for a drink 🤷🏾🤷🏾“

“Our visit to the Subway was a pleasant experience! The toppings were fairly fresh, and the staff wore gloves, maintaining hygiene standards. While it would have been ideal for the glass to provide better protection of mouth spray during order discussions, their sanitation practices surpassed those of other restaurants. Overall a very nice experience and the sandwiches are very tasty!“
