“We love this place. Great customer service“

“I stumbled across this place on accident. And I’m very glad I did. Very unassuming at first on the outside. The interior and lay out is very cool and dynamic. They really do capture a more industrial bier garden than most in SD county. The quality of the beer was memorable as well. The taste, smell, and color were all incredibly fantastic. Would love to return soon.“

“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.“

“The salads are great, salmon is yummy❣🚀👍👍“

“Great service! Warm chips and salsa served as you settle in… lots of yumm options to select from.. definitely recommend the tempura cauliflower appetizer! Unfortunately the chile relleno, corn enchiladas and kids cheese and bean burrito were all too cheesy for our liking. But if you enjoy cheesy food, you’d totally enjoy these.“

“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!“

“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“

“We went to Anthony’s for late lunch/early dinner. The food and drinks were great but nothing compared to the service and experience that our servers provided. Exceptional! 20/10! Gina, GiGi and Shawna were just superb. We had 4 kids ages 5-9 amongst both couples and they absolutely made this dining experience so fun for our kids. Gigi took the kids to feed the ducks, the turtles and was talking to them for half of our dinner. This is a little gem of a spot with just the best service!“

“My biscuit and gravy were the 💣! Can't wait to go back🙂“

“Great food! One of the best Philly Steaks in San Diego!“

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

“Every time we’ve gone, the food is good. They also have a good choice of craft beers on hand rotating. The service can be either really good or really bad. They have forgotten about us and left us waiting for a check for 40 minutes. I ordered a hamburger with two slices of cheese, when they served it the hamburger only had one slice. I asked the waitress if she could just take it back and add another slice of cheese. I am more than happy to pay for it. She blew a huffing sound, shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes and said whatever and walked away with the plate. When she brought it back, she sat the plate down and said, “Do you have enough cheese now”. My wife and I have actually enjoyed going to this place, but that waitress has turned me off for a while for sure.“

“Im a big Carne Asada Burrito lover and a connoisseur, the perfect burritos are here and trust me, well balanced, Pico the gallo, the meat is well seasoned, good amount of avocado and the burritos are big, worth every penny.

I tried other Taco Shops around the area and none satisfied my taste, this one specifically lived up the name the best Carne Asada Burritos!“

“Best bar in San Diego super nice staff and great food“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“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.“

“Nice restaurant delicious and clean food .“

“Everything so good 😛clean friendly“

“I love Carnitas Uruapan! Especially Saturday and Sunday because they offer a half Carnitas half Buche Plato. if you don't know what Buche is then it don't matter. lol 🐷“

“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. ?“

“Came in 2/14 and got a surf and turf burrito, and Cali burrito. Service was excellent, and it smelled so good. Once we got home and ate, my surf and turf was on point. Been trying different burritos around SD, this is definitely in my top 5. Will be coming back for sure. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I haven’t eaten at this place in over 10 years until recently. My wife and I were not disappointed in the slightest! We ordered the California burrito as we always do. Amazing fresh food and the employees were on top of it getting our food to us quickly. Highly recommend this place, they deserve more 5-star reviews!“

“usually a restaurant in a shopping mall is suspect, but the food was Really good and menu was large“

“Classic San Diego taco shop with the same quality and good service for over 20+ years. My favorite is the pollo asado burrito (no pico) but their TJ tacos and menudo are great too. Haven't been disappointed with this place ever. Please visit when you can!“

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

“The first time I visited the taco shop. I ordered the ground beef roll tacos, it was an option for small ones or big ones I order big ones and they were delicious. Taco shops rarely sell a ground beef roll taco. The service was pleasent and the food is a good price. I will be returning soon.“

“1st visit@ Los Pinos, rice & beans w/green & red salsa were fresh, flavorful & seasoned impeccably. Def will return to taste the bbq/adobada selections & the guacamole. Menu is vast w/many veggie options. Staff is--remarkable!“

“My wife and I have lived in LA for the past year and have tried countless taco carts across the city. On our way out of California, we stopped in La Mesa at Señor Taquero Taco Shop — and ended up having the best tacos we’ve ever eaten.

Ron is an incredibly friendly guy, and his food is on another level. We ordered cabeza, lengua, fish, and shrimp tacos, and every single one was amazing. The lengua especially was the best we’ve had anywhere — tender, flavorful, perfect.

He even gave us tripa to try for free, and it completely blew us away. It wasn’t fried like most places do; instead, it was soft, rich, and delicious. Truly exceptional.

As we leave California, this ended up being the perfect final meal — unforgettable food and a great experience. Highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through La Mesa. Ron, thank you!“

“food consistently good, tasty, fresh.“

“Awesome wine bar, food trucks & live music! Highly recommended!“

“Best Mexican food in La mesa! In my oppion! Been there for years!“

“Nostalgia, hits in the childhood
The food, ambience and price is perfect. This place actually cares about taste, texture and heigeine.the food sits right with me and doesnt hurt my stomach like other small chinese food places. As long as they continue to operate the way they do I WILL NEVER stop giving them my business. 10/10 the independently owned corner chinese food place ive been looking for.“

“This is a staple of San Diego and I hope it never changes or goes away. If you want a great burger with a great home made sauce this is you're place. I'm in Chula Vista and it's more than 30 min away but I'll come a couple times a month. It is that good. I wish one would open in the south county
I've been eating at Bollweveil for more than 50 years now.“
