20 Best Fast Food Restaurants in La Mesa

“Im usually in SD for work so I like to try different California burritos around the city! Theres alot of good places and some not so good. Nachos was really good! Big burrito, fresh ingredients (some places use this burrito to use leftovers 👎🏼) and it had the family vibe! Definitely coming back!!“

“very good food...service 👍“

“It is true that they have changed. And the last time I went in I walked out because the prices went up so much I thought it was ridiculous for a sandwich. . Almost $8 for a 6” sandwich.? Although my favorite thing ever is one of their Italian subs, but I’ve gone to Jimmy Johns for an 8” for $7.25. And they’re really good.“

“I had an issue with my payment card. I had to go back home about 15 minutes away and come back with a different card and they did the nicest thing and re made my order! I appreciate it thank you! And my order was delicious carne asada fries, carne asada chips and a fish taco.“

“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.“

“Whoever was the Cook on June 11 2026 at 11am .... Really put his or her love into it .. Made everything just right .. cheese in my eggs and bacon well done .. fresh fries ... They took their time even though it's fast food ... Thank you 🙏🏾“

“I had the original Pretzel 🥨 with butter and salt. Also cheese dip.
My Pretzel was divine. Just utterly delicious.
Customer service was excellent. My server was Santos M. He was great! I definitely will be making many stops here. It's my place to go.“

“very clean how they handle the food, no flies in the tea or flying around inside the food areas. unlike the other El Pollo Loco in Lemon Grove poor cleanliness.“

“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.“

“It's April 11th at 12:42, and I have to say, the young lady at the window with the beads in her braids is incredibly rude! This is the second time I've had to go back for my order because of your mistakes, and you still forgot my drink! Your attitude just makes everything worse—like, seriously, what the hell!“

“Good lord this place is awesome!!! The pizza is nuts busting good. And the worker are not only handsome and beautiful but they're the nicest people i have ever meet. They're willing to block a bullet for you they're that good. 100% would recommend.“

“Thank you for creating such a wonderful place. Your attention to quality, hospitality, and customer satisfaction truly shows in every detail. We had a great experience and can’t wait to visit again. Wishing you continued success and many more happy customers!“

“Love Sombrero Catering! It is such a great deal to feed a crowd and of course, the best Mexican food so everyone loves it. And we didn't have to cook. We got party platters and they were a hit plus Sombrero delivered them for us. The enchiladas are the best, that sauce! We also got carnitas, beans, rice and all the fixings plus chips and the BEST SALSA ever! YUM! We brought a few party platters to friends over the holidays too. It is always a hit. Thank you Sombrero Mexican Food! We will be back soon.“

“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 🤷🏾🤷🏾“

“Good for a sandwich, especially if you have a coupon and their app.

Parking: Very small parking lot with limited parking. Sharing lot with other businesses.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but could prove difficult due to incline between parking lot and business.“

“They were kind and fast with my order, but the cashier couldn't figure out how to split my payment even tho I explained it to him step by step, he just couldn't seem to get it together...so it was very inconvenient for me, but I figured out a way to pay for it in just one payment, thank goodness, or I would have been one sad, un-fed lady!! And it was on Xmas night around 9pm, so my options were already SUPER limited...Lol“

“Vernon is the best as always! I will not go to any other fast food in san diego!! Unless Vernon Changes jobs. Always a genuine pleasure and my kids even know and love him now!! Will.always keep coming back for his awesome service!! Thanks Vernon!!!“

“I go here all the time and have always had amazing experiences this last time I think they had a lot of online orders because they seemed to have a lot of orders open all over the place. It’s normally where you follow your food and watch them scoop but this time we gave our order and then waited for our name to be called. We had two items in our order incorrect. Food at panda is good tho so it is fine but we wanted orange chicken not giant sliced chicken and we wanted broccoli beef but we got it without the sauce that it is normally in it is plan meat and brocolli“

“This is one of the cleanest subways here in San Diego. The employees are working hard . The girl working was so nice and respectful to the customers . She made the sandwich nice and clean . I went yesterday i will go for sure again when i have craving to best sandwich
Thanks for service“
