    Christmas decorations in the drive thru!!
    Brisa B.

    This Chick-fil-A is very connected to the community. They often host community nights that include bingo, mommy and me night, and more. They also have College Tuesdays for students. They are always super fast with our orders and rarely make mistakes. The associates are really nice and always have a smile on their faces, even in the rain. The dining area is always clean and large enough to accommodate big parties if you want to bring a team after a game.

    Chocolate Fudge Brownie

    I don't often use the drive thru but the line splits into two. And there is staff with tablets taking everyone's order and it definitely speeds up the process. Not sure if it's because I came during lunch time but the line moves pretty swiftly. My person was a cute elderly man named John. He was so nice and helped me with my order. I got the spicy chicken (fried hot) Cobb salad with no bacon, an extra egg, with avocado lime ranch dressing. I also got waffle fries because I know I can't come here without bringing fries home for mom. Also got to redeem my birthday rewards for their chocolate fudge brownie. It's pretty nifty that they can scan your rewards with your mobile app. As I was pulling forward after my order and paying. John was so sweet and asked if the rewards I redeemed was for a birthday treat. And I said yes it was! And he wished me a happy belated birthday. It's the little things that totally makes my experience and day. Thank you John! Now as for the food... I've never had their salads before but have seen my friends order this specific order. And what can I say... it's pretty filling!! Delicious! Chicken was hot because well ... I asked for fried hot. Not sure if you're able to mobile order that way. I'd have to ask one of these days. Chicken was crispy and moist and flavorful. Salad was crunchy. I really dig the crispy bell peppers. Gives it extra crunch and different flavor. I love the corn in it. The avocado lime dressing was creamy and light. Fries were standard. Love it's not heavily salted. Brownie was very moist and very soft, sweet, chocolatey. Should've gotten their ice cream and mashed the brownie in there. All in all, great experience and delicious meal.

    Chick Fil A! Can't ever dislike this post, it's always big on space, easy to come through, and the wait is never longer than 5 minutes. I had a large group come yesterday and we got our orders in within minutes, they are so fast. Highly recommend stopping by this place, they always decorate and the food is hot and amazing:)

    Have to call it like I see it it. Large Fries no different than regular, potentially even less. Not ideal. Be better I feel like you just stole money from me.

    I would say, overall, this chick fil a has been good to me in the time that i've been coming here. Which has been quite a bit. They are always busy, but i haven't ever had bad experience here. Always get my order right. The drive through does get pretty bad and parking can sometimes be a pain, but kinda the give and take to be honest. I still feel like the staff does really well. My food always tastes great.It's always hot.

    We're longtime fans of Chick-fil-A because it's one of the few places where our whole family can enjoy a good meal and our kids can play safely afterward. Unfortunately, the past three times we've visited, the play area has been closed--with no explanation or clear signage. This has been really disappointing, especially since we specifically choose Chick-fil-A over other options because of the food-and-play combo that works so well for our family. When the play area is closed without notice, it takes away a big part of what makes the experience enjoyable for us. We hope this is something that can be addressed consistently or at least communicated better, so families like ours can plan accordingly. Thank you for listening--we really do love Chick-fil-A and want to keep coming back!

    40 pickles makes an already amazing sandwich that much better!

    Massive shoutout to the 11 o'clock crew for understanding our crazy request for a pile of pickles on the favorite #1 sandwich!!! You all surpassed the current record of 30 pickles. Christian, thank you for your generosity and for bringing a huge smile to our Monday! Stay awesome, CFA La Mesa!

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich
    Hahudy B.

    This spot is right near my old construction site and serves great memories. I always get the classic spicy chicken sandwich to get some energy kicking in for my shift and it never misses. Chicken Sandwich: Tender, succulent, and crispy chicken! A bit salty. Lettuce and tomato compliment the spice. Chick-Fil-A Sauce: Absolutely bomb! Makes everything taste better. Service: Nice folks. Gets our food out fast.

The food, quality, and overall experience make this place a 10/10 for us. We'll definitely be back again, and I would highly recommend Duke's to anyone looking for a great meal!

    Duke's Old Fashioned Onion Burgers has become a pretty popular spot in La Mesa. Every time I've…read moredriven by, there's always a steady stream of people coming in and out, so I figured it was finally time to see what the hype was about. They also rotate fun milkshake specials, and when I visited they had an Apple Pie Milkshake that sounded really good. I just wasn't in the mood for something sweet that day. I kept it simple and ordered the Single Onion Burger ($13.95) with mayo, ketchup, and lettuce, plus an order of the Original Fries ($5.75). The onion burger is made with fresh ground beef that's smashed with onions on the grill, and you can customize it with toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeños, cheese, mustard, and ketchup at no extra charge. Bacon is available for an additional charge. The restaurant itself was really clean, and I appreciated the self-serve condiment station stocked with ketchup, spicy ketchup, ranch, plenty of hot sauces, and to-go containers. The fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. They're fresh cut and double fried, coming out piping hot with a crispy exterior and fluffy center. The portion was also super generous. They packed so many fries that they were spilling outside of the container into the bag. Paired with the ranch and spicy ketchup, they were honestly worth ordering on their own. The burger was a little more disappointing. The patty was overcooked, which made it pretty dry. You could even tell by the color that it had spent a little too much time on the grill. Since I usually keep my burgers pretty simple, there wasn't much to balance out the dryness, so I found myself dipping almost every bite into extra ketchup and ranch just to add some moisture. I can definitely see why Duke's is a neighborhood favorite, and I still like the concept behind their onion burgers. It just didn't completely satisfy the burger craving I walked in with. I'd come back for the fries without hesitation, and I'd be willing to give the burger another shot hoping I caught them on an off day.

Liked how everything, even the soap was motion-sensored). Was really hungry too, so decided why not. Got the regular Habit burger with cheese, no lettuce or Mayo. Burgers also come with grilled onions, tomato and pickle. Tried something different instead of fries-the tempura green beens. So yummy, so unexpected. The highlight of the meal. Will return just for these! Got a chocolate shake, too but next time, the Blue Wave sounds good-the counter-person said it was tropical-pineapple and coconut. Burgers was good;I added ketchup. Green beans; the best! Shake;good. Gave me a water cup when I asked as well. Counter persons were very nice and helpful. They had kiosk to order at but I'm old school and ordered at the counter in person. They didn't try to discourage me otherwise( as some other places have). Will go there again, definitely for the tempura green beans.

    I went on an adventure trying to find a new lunch spot.  I found this place on Yelp as Janna's…read moreBurgers, Fish, and Fries and the map took me to the Aztec Food Hub.  Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center.  The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today.  So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge.  The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great.  With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs.  White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist.  Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness.   I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient.  My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.  I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings.  Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries.  So that's the story on my lunch adventure.

It's delicious chicken with tomatoes, onions, and peppers served with rice and beans and your choice of tortillas, plus a drink. All at a reasonable price. It makes two meals for me every time. My son swears the quesadillas here are magical and always eats most of it in the car on the way home because he can't wait. Service is always great, it's a family owned restaurant and they're consistently friendly and fantastic. It's a small business, but there's a few tables inside and chairs if you're getting takeout. They take phone orders too. There's plenty of parking in the lot and on the street. When I first started coming here a long time ago it was cash only, but you can use plastic now too.

I feel like the reviews are biased to the portions and price but not quality. I want to contribute my honest review without coming off as some food snob. I had no issues with the service (the staff seemed like people I could vibe with daily) and really wanted this place to be my loyal go-to. I've lived in the area for over 23 years and wanted to try something different after exhausting pretty much all butrriro options, so I checked out some online forums for recommendations. There are a lot of burrito spots around, so it's easy to overlook this one. Still, it kept popping up in people's suggestions, so it seems to have a loyal crowd. The California burrito and the breakfast burrito were mentioned as the best options. Maybe I'm late to the party, but after trying their California and breakfast burritos, I was surprised by how bland and dead the food tasted. The carne asada lacked flavor and freshness, and the potatoes in both burritos were very stale, mushy, and bitter (as though eyes / dark spots were present). Both burritos were missing something. People said the red salsa was supposed to be great, but it didn't add anything, and neither did the green salsa. Both just tasted flat. What really surprised me was the "famous" breakfast burrito that so many people rave about. It should be one of the easiest things to get right, but it tasted watered down. Maybe it was the onions and potatoes? I couldn't enjoy it unless I covered it in the bland red and green sauce just to make it edible. I even wondered if the eggs were processed or imitation (I'm no stranger to cafeteria food). I do understand that the majority are struggling, so this may reflect the quality and lack of taste. I've been all over San Diego and been in some financially rough areas that managed to stay afloat while still providing life and love by using locally sourced ingredients. So I feel like this place just lost motivation and wants to fill you up instead of giving you an experience.

What if they get the right number of items but incorrect items? Mistakes happen, no doubt. I understand that as well as anyone. They happen at Vallarta a disproportionate amount of the time. Literally more often than not. We've always went back through the order at the window with them just to make sure, and still would find items missing when we got home. I've advised them before that having a sharpie at the packing station to check off against the receipt would probably serve them well. All of this is known, and in and of itself, despite the real frustration one feels when this happens once, much less dozens of times, it would not lead me to updating with a one-star review. What did happen is that, the last time they forgot my order of rather expensive guacamole, we called. The phone rang for sometime before being picked up by a gentleman we believed to be the owner-- clearly a cell phone, and he was not onsite. We told him what had happened. He apologized, like one does, and told us to just let them know the next time we went through the drive-thru and they would replace it. He took our name. That was that. Except it wasn't. When we next went back through the drive-thru, we reminded them of our missed guac, and they refused to honor the owner's promise. Beyond that, they became rude and hostile at the idea. Obviously, we canceled that night's $50+ order and left. We have not been back. We used to go in once or twice a week. Maybe the message was not relayed. Possible. It does seem to me, however, that if your error rate is as high as there's is-- and it's not like they don't know this-- instead of arguing with the guest that has come back to your establishment anyway, you should probably bend over backwards to accommodate them. They used to make up for their horrible order fulfillment with friendly service and pretty darn good food. As the service tent pole fell, so did the tent.
