She kept a close eye on our drinks and check in with us a number of times to see that we had all that we needed. A delightful lunch.“

“1st time here to watch Monday Night football and I'd definitely return.

Spacious, with roll up doors between the patio and inside makes for a chill vibe. There's a DJ booth but no DJ when I was there. I saw another space in the rear with tables and chairs that had a bar too. Women's bathroom was large and clean-yay!

Happy hour drinks were interesting and tasty but the apps for happy hour didn't appeal. No beers on tap and the Sculpin I ordered came in a can. No beer mug was offered and I had to ask the waitress for a glass. She gave me a brandy glass, so my beer could get warmer faster?

The Honey Bee drink is a good choice with the edible flower garnish. What the server called their spicy drink had little to no heat. I had the Chicken pesto Flatbread and it didn't disappoint. The liberal toppings made it more like a pizza I had to fold to eat. 10/10

It's in the Normal Heights neighborhood so the parking is minimal depending on what time you go.“

“Have always enjoyed a short walk to Elsa Kitchen to pick up their very delicious Burger and Fries and Soda Pop combination. Since I moved to this neighborhood just over 4 Years ago (March 2019) have enjoyed bringing my best buddy "Rocker Spaniel" here on our walks. He Loved the Greek Scenery:) and claro que si the food two. Let us not forget the BLACK and White illuminati Checkerboard tiles. Rocker left us at Age 12 Dog Years on February 18th but putting his photo on my Smart Phone screen saver refreshed my Love ❤️ for this place. Going to come back tomorrow for A Greek Gyros lunch 5/3 and hopefully Esperanza dovetail with a return Cinco de Mayo Run for The Roses 🌹🐴🐎 Thanks and FB We recommend a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Return to Elsas 'Soul' Kitchen.

“As a two egg casino breakfast connoisseur, I am highly qualified to review this establishment.

$12.65 for 2 egg breakfast when using players card. Includes coffee, biscuit, bacon, and breakfast potatoes.

The potatoes could use a little more seasoning and crunch, but that’s about the only complaint I could find in this meal. IMO very good value, tasty, and quick.

Pamela is super friendly and helpful as well!

All in all, I think this is one of the best casino two egg breakfasts you’re going to find. Great value, tasty, hot, fresh 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!“
