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.“

“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!“

“Got the combo taco/enchilada plate. It was alot of food. The beans had great flavor, topped with melted cheese. Good hot sauce as well. They apparently dont have fountain drinks, as I was given a can of diet soda. I'd recommend eating here. This is my 3rd time here as I dont live within this vicinity.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“Quaint . Great service and food“

“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“

“Best coffee in San Diego!!!! ☕️✨“

“Always great food when I stop by #HWMYTastins #HWMY“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“OMG !!!!
Who thought of this idea for a curry dish…??!!!
SOOOOO FREAKING DELICIOUS
THE “GOLDEN CRUNCH CURRY UDON” is the best ‘curry dish’ I’ve EVER HAD !!!!
Happy TUMMY 😊“

“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.“

“I went to fruity loco on avocado road after my workout. I actually met the owner of Fruity Loco named Krystal Ateek. She was super nice and she had great timing because my workout has just finished and I wanted something nutritious and satiating after the workout. I'm going to post a video with this but basically the drinks are very good and the cost is also fair. They have several locations so you should visit one near you. I have the addresses and I will leave them below. The smoothie that I had was a peanut butter banana with a protein shot in it. That is great right after work out if you want protein. I highly recommend going there.
Pick the address that's near you and go check it out when you want a drink.

These are the Fruity Loco locations-

“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 😁😉“

“Banana Nutella crepe is a must have“

“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.“

“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“

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

“We had a great experience at this location! Our 3 year old is learning how to ask for things/order with polite manners and Cole, the waiter, was incredibly patient and kind with her, spoke to her directly, and listened to what she had to say. It made her feel so proud and confident and made us feel so happy to see her feel that way! Thank you Cole for your incredible service, we will definitely be back!
Also food was great, came out quick, and we had a great time in general! :)“

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

“Been coming here on and off for years. The owners is great. Some of their employers are rude sometimes, but they go through pretty high turnover. I feel like I have out lived the ones that were rude. The pizza is great and very fast to pickup. Quick and easy expereince. overall very pleasant. Ironically the cheese pizza is the best.“

“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!“

“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!“

“very good food...service 👍“

“great service from Jeff! Food hit the spot, too.“
