    Sauces!! We have a chipotle mayo, spicy honey, and the secret house sauce.
    LaDawn J.

    Flavor, service, vibes: all 10/10!!! My boyfriend and were looking to grab a bite to eat after the beach. We wanted something good and quick so decided to stop at this place. The pink alien was eye catching so it grabbed our attention! It ended up being a great choice! The burger was made so well and had great flavors. Perfect ratio of ingredients. The owner even brought us 3 different sauces to try with the burger. Great experience, we will be back

    The Taste San Diego Burger. So, so, so, so delicious!!!
    Alex M.

    Had lunch at Smash and Stack today. Found it based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint. I had the Taste San Diego and the softness, combined with the crunchy and the cheesy, was so perfect. I absolutely loved their burger!! I would definitely go here again and highly recommend if you're looking for a good place to eat. Also, their sauces were really good. One more thing, the customer service was exceptional. You can tell that they genuinely appreciate each customer that walks in and they treat you like you are the only person in the room while you're there. Overall just an awesome experience.

    Tasting San Diego Burger with Waffle Fries. Side of Out of this World and Chipotle Hot Honey Mayo sauces.

    The universe aligned tonight and guided my friend and I to Smash and Stack. We were walking down Garnet talking about how we were craving a good smash burger, and no more than a minute later we stumbled across this large pink building. We were greeted by Joel and Geraldo, and after a few minutes of chatting we decided to give it a try. The amazing menu options made for one of the hardest decisions in my lifetime, but after some heavy contemplation a decision was made: Tasting San Diego burger with a side of waffle fries. After placing our order, we took a stroll around the premises - beautiful artwork on the walls and a patio with tables out back for some fresh air. I plan on coming back with my computer sometime to work from the patio. Maybe it will make the work days a little more tolerable if I'm catching up on some emails while enjoying a great burger... Anyway, the food arrived and I can genuinely say my socks were blown into outer space. Perfectly toasted bun, great crisp on the patty, and perfectly seasoned fries. The "Out of this World" sauce lived up to its name - whatever they put in that, they're doing something right! I will definitely be back, and can't wait to see this place take off as one of the highest culinary establishments in PB. Keep up the great work, Smash and Stack team!

    Double Cheeseburger  insanely good, the little crispy edge skirt is a game changer
    Gabe L.

    this place is so freaking good dude. the little burger skirt is insanely crispy. the double smash is worth it. the service is quick and on point. the owner gerardo hooked it up with three mega tasty sauces to pair with their crisp jalapeno poppers. the music selection is a vibe and its a really dope brick and mortar. he also gave me a nice mocktail on the house. they also got stuff for dogs so sheesh what's not to love! im definitely coming back when i visit my barber in pb

    Grilled cheese
    Christal M.

    We found them outside Las Mujeres Brew House in Logan Heights. We ordered a grilled cheese and the space fries. The sauce that came on the fries and on the side of the grilled cheese is out of this world ;) Think animal fries but cheddar cheese and on top of waffle fries. SO good. Service was impeccable. My son was thrilled with the sticker we were given. I would definitely go out of my way to order from here again.

    My girlfriend and I planned SaturDATE and we chose this spot to be the first meal of the day. MAJOR HIT! Our service animal was accepted to sit with us and the service we received was "attentive" to say the least! I am a major UFO fan so the interstellar ambiance + the smash burger was everything we could ask for to start the day. The burger was overly enjoyable and the CHIPOTLE MAYO added a flavor punch that was out of this world; pun intended. The owner's cousin Heraldo was there and he was very genuine and welcoming. Will be returning, welcome to Pacific Beach!

    The Smash and Stack smash burger truck is the latest smashalicious burger in town. Like their logo states, "Just a great burger," which is an under statement because it's a great burger! The double cost $12. Joel uses Brisket and Chuck for the ground beef, and wow, what a delicous and juicy combination! The flavor of the beef was fantastic. The signature sauce is great, and I loved that they toast the buttery brioche bun. You can add items to your smash burger at no extra charge. I added grilled onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. There are no pickles yet, but I hope they are coming. If you're a smashed burger aficionado, you have to check this place out. They offer outside seating with umbrellas.

    Single Cheeseburger
    Jeanie W.

    SO GOOD! We tried out this place because it recently just opened and it did not disappoint! Service was amazinggg, everyone was so nice and welcoming. The place is so cute we loved the outdoor patio. And of course literally the best smash burger in SD. Try it out!!

    Double Smash Cheeseburger, with cheese fries.
    Luke S.

    A random lunch for me as they were parked on 30th. Super friendly and helpful staff/ownership. Really fit a North Park vibe... I see they serve a tiny patty for the pooch friends in the neighborhood. I was hit with a remarkably good burger. The bun (often overlooked by smash style locations) had an amazing texture. I'll try out the grill cheese next round, overall a recommend in my book.

    Great smash burgers and food! My family and I came down here looking for something to eat before the Padres game and the manager was so welcoming and friendly that it made the experience much better! The staff were friendly as well! The theming is cute!

    Love this new local spot!! A must try if you love smash burgers or just a good burger in general. Staff is super friendly as well & establishment was super clean! Highly recommend!!

    Eating a double!!!!

    Absolutely the best burger we have ever had! This is my daughter's favorite place to go on Thursdays and North Park before she goes to her swim team practice. A very picky 10 year old that doesn't eat much takes down a double cheeseburger! Best burgers ever and super friendly nice staff. Great people, amazing food!

    The cutest pink truck
    Sara R.

    10/10! I'm always on the hunt for a good SMASH burger, this one did NOT disappoint. The bun was so soft and it had a secret sauce that I could not get over. The meat was so buttery and tender it just melted in your mouth. Will absolutely visit again. On top of the burger being delicious, the hospitality was top tier. As soon as we approached the truck we were greeted and felt at home. The owners introduced themselves and were very helpful with the menu. Can't wait to go back!

    Double smash burger with everything.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

Alex helped me choose my gelato flavors, and she was so patient, friendly, and kind. There were so many different gelato and sorbet flavors to choose from that it was honestly hard to pick! The moment I tasted them, I felt like I was back in Italy. The flavors were rich, layered, and complex--you could actually taste the different ingredients, rather than just tasting sugar like you sometimes do at other places. Everything was so delicious and thoughtfully made. Definitely a place I'd love to come back to!

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy. Overall, great experience and glad we ended up at Nonna's even though it wasn't part of the batch of recommendations provided online. (Sorry forgot to take photos as we were so hungry and didn't realize it until after we ate!)
