    Brunch Menu
    Mia G.

    My coworkers and I recently enjoyed lunch at Toasted La Mesa on a Tuesday afternoon. We made reservations, but they weren't busy when we arrived, so they really weren't needed. We did, however, inquire about weekend reservations and they do not offer them, so if you're stopping by on the weekend, prepare for a wait. We sat on their outside covered patio, but they do have a large interior dining room and a spacious bar. We ordered a variety of things that were all yummy and our server, Olivia, gave us great recommendations and super friendly service. What we ordered: - ABC Hash - Turkey Wrap - Smoked Brisket Melt - Cali Benny - Hammerhead - Caffe Latte We had a great time and can't wait to come back to try more menu items!

    Stuffed French Toast

    Walked into this cutesy brunch spot right around mid morning during a weekday. No wait and sat right away. Oddly enough, we only saw our waiter a handful of times, and even after getting our food he hurried away so we had to wave him down to let them know one of the orders was wrong. Downfall to middle of the week brunch, less waiters? Not sure but not impressed with service. Veggie has and French toast were pretty but 3/5 for taste. Decent taste , did not care for the frisée adds absolutely nothing to this dish and neither did the passion fruit caramel for the French toast. It was agreed that it added an odd sour taste to the dish but not in a good way. The iced latte and mocha were somewhat bland. Again, cute place with nice atmosphere but food nor service was impressive.

    What a gem! We stumbled upon this and so glad we did. About mid morning on a Saturday, my party of 4 was immediately sat. Service was decent and the crowd was pretty large. This restaurant is full of vibes. It's cozy, clean, and welcoming. We ordered the red velvet pancakes, chilaquiles, and kids chocolate chip pancakes. All phenom! I'll be back Mother's Day weekend as my choice location. Glad to add this in the rotation!! Plenty of parking, right off the trolley. Clean restrooms.

    The placement of seats is interesting as there is an inside patio and then an indoor eating area. There is an open kitchen so you can see what the chefs are doing along with a bar. The server was attentive and was prompt in taking my drink and food order. I loved seeing the green plants and the fact there were no TVs. The dish I tried was the Sammy sandwich, which was a first for me and garlic potatoes. Both were amazing and I look forward to going back again.

    Easter Sunday was a delightful breakfast with delicious coffee and chai latte. We enjoyed French toast, stuffed French toast both with delicious sausage and Bacon Bennie. Layered with bacon, asparagus, nicely poached eggs covered in hollandaise with a balsamic drizzle. Restaurant was airy and pleasant with comfortable seats. Great attentive servers Nom,nom, nom,nom, nom! That's is 5 noms!

    Chilaquiles
    Sergio G.

    First time here and would definitely return. Crispy chicken and pancakes 3/5 Pancakes were a little dry and the chicken was a little dry as well but not too bad. Chilaquiles 4/5 Lots of flavor, great portion, lacked a little meat but overall would order again Denver-ish Scramble 3/5 Best part was the round potatoes, so tasty and good. Lacked flavor, didn't have much flavor. The toast was decent. Our waiter provided great service and was very welcoming. Lots of seating as well, loved how nice the place was and will definitely return!

    Crispy Chicken and Cakes

    We did a walk-in on a Sunday morning and got seated almost immediately. Food was delicious!!! Be prepared for an abundance amount of food here because it is generous in portions. The price of each plate does meet up to the generous portion. I ordered the avocado toast along with the shrimp and grits and I ended up having to take them home. I'm a big fan of shrimp and grits so this one for me is a bit more creamier than usual and as I am lactose, it didn't sit too well with me. Overall was good, but I would have liked to taste more of the grits itself. It also had sausages in it. The mocha and mimosa were also amazing. The decors were beautiful inside and out with a little bit of 1950s vibes with nice floral with indoor and outdoor seating for your furry friends. Our waitress was so warm and nice and brought everything we needed. Highly recommend.

    The Breakfast Quesadilla
    Alex S.

    Toasted is a cute brunch venue with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. However, the food was unimpressive and not memorable. The passion fruit iced tea was bland, and the grilled cheese was so crispy it was tough on the mouth. The pancakes were tasty and hit the spot, but I much preferred them with maple syrup rather than the spicy breakfast syrup it was served with. This also led the dish to be less cohesive, which is on me, but it did feel like hot chicken tenders and, separately, pancakes. The breakfast quesadilla was stuffed full of breakfast items and filling, though nothing to write home about. Toasted is filling a need for cute brunch spots in this area, but there are plenty other brunch spots in San Diego with food that we found more worthwhile.

    They don't take reservations on the weekend and we were a group of 8. We waited 45 minutes and then checked in to see how much longer. We were told they only had 2 tables that could accommodate a group that size and we would have to wait for those groups to get up. We asked if they could push 2 empty tables that were next to each other together and they then sat us. Food was delicious and $25 bottomless mimosas were great!

    My very first time trying any toast and it was amazing. The lobster toast had so many flavors going on I could not stop eating it. I've seen many toasts on many menus trying the smoked salmon and lobster opened a new window for me. Don't get me started on the breakfast quesadilla. This thing was fantastic and huge. The meat mixed with egg had so much flavor. I loved the way it came with pico and guacamole. It's big enough to share. Lastly the red velvet pancake was the perfect end to our meal. This whole meal was a treat. I enjoyed our service from the minute we got our drinks. The restraunt itself is beautiful so trendy the booths are nice and cozy with plenty of room. Can't wait to come back and try Sunday brunch with some girlfriends. Espresso martini's here we come.

    Toasted located in La Mesa in a shopping center but, hidden from street view. It is located across from Frazier Farms towards the back side of street view. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and parking can be challenging. Ambiance is nice with great customer service! We ordered: Short Rib Benny - AMAZING and a MUST ORDER! Elvis French Toast - I was not a fan of the combination of flavors. They offer a wide variety of dishes to choose from and we will definitely be back!

    Chopped Chicken
    Norma D.

    I had a nice lunch at Toasted La Mesa with a few friends. When we arrived it took a while for a staff to come and greet us and seat us. There wasn't anyone else waiting to be sat. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very open. I ordered the BLT sandwich and shared the Balsamic Grilled Chicken salad. The sandwich was good. It was served on brioche bread. The salad had too much dressing which made it a bit soggy. Next time I'll try to chopped salad it looked very good. Our waiter Eric was pleasant. Service was a bit slow. I would try this place again.

    Elvis French Toast & Smoked Brisket Hash*

    We went on a Saturday morning around 9 am & was seated right away! The service was amazing & I believe the owner served us because he was so nice and sweet. He went over the menu thoroughly and was very helpful. The brisket hash was sooo good and melt in my mouth. 10/10 would come back!! There's a parking lot right out front & it's in a nice and quiet area. Be sure to check out Frazier farms next door :)

    I had been meaning to visit this place for a while and I am so happy I got the chance. We were able…read moreto sit in the outdoor area which is just as nice as the pictures on here suggest. Not only was all the food amazing, but the portions were generous and made for some great leftovers. My parents were in town so we were out to dinner together and we all got different dishes and each one was better than the next. The quesadilla was probably the best thing we had. Our server was attentive and quick while still giving time to be friendly. When they were out of a couple items for the drinks we wanted, she was ready with alternatives and always offered to at least double check in case there was something they could do. My dad even got a little preview of a new version of their Old Fashioned since they were in the process of phasing out the old one and were out of one of the ingredients.

    This was my first time visiting Casa Gabriela. I saw the menu and it looked really yummy. The major…read moredraw was the Cafe de Olla. I had to order it. It came with a yummy almond galleta dusted with powdered sugar. The coffee was perfect. I dipped my cookie in my coffee and truly it was the perfect bite plus perfect treat as I waited for my food because I was HUNGRY! Our food took a while to arrive it was a Saturday morning at brunch but it wasn't crowded. The wait was the kind of wait you do where you look at the tables around you to see who has food and who doesn't and wonder what was the seating order of the folks around you and if they got their food before you and why. So when my food arrived I was sooooo ready! I ordered the chorizo and crispy potatoes burrito. It looked great when it arrived! I strategically cut my burrito about a quarter of the way in. I knew I would at least eat a quarter but I knew I definitely wouldn't eat the whole thing and I didn't want to waste a perfectly good bite on all tortilla. I cut my burrito and put a bite on my fork and as I put my food in my mouth I looked down and find a long curly hair. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I was disappointed for several reasons. 1. The bite I took was all egg and tortilla. No cheese no chorizo no potato. 2. I was starving! And 3. I knew I wasn't going to have anything to eat until after the other two people I was with finished eating and I could go somewhere else to get food. I didn't let it damper my mood. I showed the waiter who was very apologetic and took my plate away. When he walked away. It hit me I didn't tell him to not bring me anything else because I was going to eat a remade burrito. So I got his attention because I didn't want them to waste anymore food. Here is what I will say. To replace my food, I was given a pastry platter that was AMAZINGLY good! The concha was legit the best I've ever eaten. The banana bread was delicious with delicious toasted pecans which added a caramelized texture to the banana bread! No joke, it was so good. What I will also say is that I was visited with no less than 3 people including Gabriela herself who was absolutely apologetic about my experience and assured me it wouldn't happen again. What's also nice is that I wasn't charged for the food I ate which believe it or not has happened to me before MANY years ago. My peeps whom I was with absolutely loved their food. One had the Sopes and the other had the huevos rancheros. So while I have to be honest about my review, I really think this was a one off mistake and at the very least I would highly suggest ordering cafecito and pastries from Casa Gabriela!
