“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!!“

“The food was outstanding. The service was great. Tyler was awesome. 5 stars“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“Met Toran at our work event and he shared his story… What an amazing business! Everyone needs to go and try this pudding!!! I will always support a business that supports the community and will always show up when asked! Thanks for the amazing pudding, and for showing up!“

“очень вкусная еда, большие порции. работники очень дружелюбны.“

“We love this place. Great customer service“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“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!“

“The food the service is amazing. VERY bad experience that little Roma restaurant I should’ve known better that there’s no place like Nonna’s.“

“Quaint . Great service and food“

“This is one of our favorite places to take friends when they come to visit. We took our parents last night, and it was perfect. The patio is the best place (I think) to enjoy a meal and the buzz of La Mesa. We happened to come when they were doing an outdoor street concert. The energy was perfect!
Our favorite thing to order is the La Reina molcajete. It's cheesy deliciousness and we ended up eating our leftovers for days. We tried the La Jefa version last night. Still very good and plenty for two people. I love all the fun cocktails you can order, and the service is exactly what you'd expect for a CRG restaurant - friendly and attentive.
Restrooms are clean, there is plenty of parking behind the restaurant, and the food is wonderful.“

“Superb Mexican food. Fast and easy. We loved it ! 🤙🏼“

“3/5 for a first timer during restaurant week… the special menu was $50 per person…. we never got any bread with our dinner (and didn’t realize we were left out until we were on dessert)… and, portions were small, so the bread would have been nice, especially for $50… also, the server made us make our food order at the same time as our drinks… personally, i like to have a drink or two before i order my food… so, the service was rushed in that sense… and no one asked me if i wanted a second glass of wine i had the veal and my friend had the lobster ravioli… both tasted decently but, again, small portions… the burrata was amazing and the desserts (tiramisu and lava cake) were pleasant i think i’d like to try again on a night that isn’t as busy, and order off of the actual menu“

“Excelente servicio esta buena la música con el mariachi muy rica la comida nos tocó de mesero el Sr Alfonso muy amable muy buen servicio.“

“I love this place, I definitely recommend this place in come here for my smoothies with Boba.“

“First time here and not disappointed. Didn't have a long wait like others said. The doma was excellent. I got the combo to try their meats - beef kabob, chicken Tikka, and beef shawarma. All were seasoned well, especially the shawarma...very bold. But it's the cook on the meat that set them apart! All 3 were tender, juicy, and savory. Too many overcook these but they just melted in my mouth. Highly recommended.“

“Everything so good 😛clean friendly“

“I love La Mesa Bistro team working is very nice, friendly and efficient. It’s clean and you can eat indoor or outside The food is all very good and ready quickly! My favorites açaí be wil and grilled Cheese on sourdough with artichokes and avocado. It’s fabulous- sorry I can’t remember the benefits of it. ?“

“Sooooo good!!!!! I am trying “mostly” vegan this year so this was such a find! We got pastries for my sister’s birthday. She has lots of food sensitivities and can’t eat dairy. The PERFECT birthday treat! VERY friendly and helpful staff!“

“Best coffee in San Diego!!!! ☕️✨“

“My favorite is there my helix calzone with added jalapeños“

“Carina our server was really great and the service is always amazing. Mario's is always our first stop when coming to San Diego.“

“I was visiting my sister and we were looking for a quick place to eat. When we arrived, the restaurant looked nice, but it was surprisingly empty, which made me wonder why. We decided to give it a try, sat down, and ordered our food.

The service was fast, and OMG—the food was absolutely delicious! I was genuinely surprised that this place wasn’t packed. The quality of the food for the price was outstanding and definitely worth it.

The wings were crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!“

“The Live Music and Veteran Owners“

“food consistently good, tasty, fresh.“

“I've been a fan coming here for my pizza fix for close to two decades now, and I Iove it. Their Philly Cheesesteak pizza is an absolute masterpiece, and their homemade tiramisu is a dream. 😋 They mostly do take-out, but they also deliver (within most of La Mesa). Frank & Andy are good guys and worth giving a try.“

“Banana Nutella crepe is a must have“

“The restaurant is quite lovely, as was our server Brenda - the best I've ever personally had the pleasure of dining with. We split our entree and still had more than enough for each person's portion. Brenda was very considerate and generous with every accommodation we requested of her. Everything was great and served promptly and thoughtfully. Fantastic food and service.“

“I live in New York and they have Best tortas and strawberry and cream cup on west coast. Whenever I come out from East coast this is my spot. Employee's are great. If ever in area you need to try. I love everything on menu I come daily for fresh squeezed juice and they have any combination of juices not on menu. They are best . Fruity Loco is my number # 1 smoothie spot in country.“

“The food is excellent. Fresh delicious dishes. Too bad the service isn't better and the room is too loud. This food deserves better.“

“Hands down my favorite pizza place in ALL OF San Diego. The pizza is perfect everytime and I never have to wait long for my pizza to get delivered. I will never order from any chain pizza places anymore. Frank's is my the only place I'll be ordering pizza from.“

“I have not been in a Round Table Pizza in over 10 years! While visiting in San Diego, this place has been an experience that enhanced our visit! An absolute joy to eat here. Food was hot, exactly what we ordered, and the staff was very accommodating, patient, and friendly! Please stop by and say hello.“

“Unfortunately, I could barely contain myself when the food came. It was super delicious and can’t wait to go back! I didn’t get the name of our server but she was an older lady. That helped me decide on all my choices for dinner tonight. Thank you for the good experience and good food. Looking forward to coming back“

“I just haven't ever had a bad meal here. I look forward to going back and enjoying a meal with a bestie. Finish it off with mango sticky rice and sleep like a baby 😁😉“

“very good food...service 👍“

“We've enjoyed every roll, every appetizer, every visit. Left this afternoon planning a return trip on Friday.“

“Clean and organized. Looks like a very well run establishment. All the food I saw looked delicious and my portabella char burger was delicious. The food was made fresh and hot. I ate in and there seemed to be plenty enough space or you could take out.“

“the bestttttt japanese food!“

“One of the best Japanese Restaurant in town, highly recommended!“

“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!“
