I love that I came here even I felt bad because I came last minute around 8:10 and they close at 9 they were really respectful and they didn't mind to give us really good service, the place was so clean, the food was delicious, specially the plate I got, I would recommended coming to this place ! And people don't forget to leave tip since the people in the kitchen and the waitress (the girl) are really hard workers!

Service was fast and friendly. I ordered online, but they didn't get my order. They made it really quickly for me, in just ten minutes. Everything was delicious. Large portions. I'll be back to try a few more items!

I found this little La Mesa gem tucked away in a corner across from the VONS on University during the start of the pandemic. This review is overdue. It's a cozy (yeah, small) restaurant that maximizes the space. Tasteful decor and a great smooth jazz playlist starts your experience.
What is outstanding is EVERYTHING. Firstly, the hostess/server ERICA sets the stage with her friendly smile and warm greeting. The food. Every dish I've had for the past...
