“The Double Double no onion please,“

“We were there on vacation a few weeks back stopped for lunch and was very happy with the food and service especially your server Valerie think her last name was Long. she was quick and polite. Another of times you go to a restaurant and don't even get a smile. Valerie was very kind and was very polite.“

“Great food and good service 😍“

“Bale French Sandwich is a tiny shop tucked away in Mira Mesa Square serving quick Vietnamese dishes like banh mi, fried rice, egg rolls, and boba.

We enjoyed the charbroiled pork and lemongrass chicken banh mi - a great value at $6.25 each. The bread had a great crust: thin, very crisp, and flaky. The pickled carrot and daikon added nice texture and brightness, while the raw jalapeños brought the right amount of heat. The egg rolls were also a hit, with a peppery flavor and a crisp outer shell.

Note that this is a grab-and-go spot with a strictly business vibe. The service is efficient, so have your order ready. There is only one small table for snacking and two benches for waiting. They also offer extensive party tray options if you order in advance.

There is plenty of free parking, though the lot gets competitive on weekends due to the nearby Aldi and Lucky Seafood Market.“

“Yummy food!!😋😋👍🏿👍🏿, excellent customer service. You can’t go wrong.“

“todo super rico !! fresco y un sabor esquisito“

“Had a very nice conversation with Brenda at the drive-through. The food was delicious. The parking lot was clean. Brenda spoke loud and clearly she was very kind showed great customer service. I will probably be back to this location soon to eat again.“

“I’ll start off my review with saying great customer service . It shows the owner has put in a lot much of his/her time to train their employees properly . Every time I walk in I am always greeted and never rushed when ordering . I personally love there fruit waters and making my own chip bowl. All prices are decent and affordable so they fit everyones budget . It can get busy from time to time but totally worth the wait . I definitely recommend visiting this location to grab something for your sweet tooth or salty craving:) . Most importantly this location is always clean and sanitized ! You will never see a mess.“

“It’s always good and fresh“

“First time here went a few hours ago and the staff is so nice! Abigail this is for you especially you’re amazing don’t know if you remember me but I was wearing a blue hoodie with long brown hair lol but yes keep up the great vibes the food was delicious! Will be returning soon💞“

“The young lady in the lot taking the orders on a 94 degree day was a true professional!“

“Doesn’t look like much walking past, but WOW this was amazing and fresh Mexican food- I had the TamaElote- a perfect tamale topped with generous deconstructed Elote topping- two of my favorite things all warm and happy for only $5, it fed me better than the much more expensive meals we’d spend for a similar meal at a fancy restaurant. Perfect for walking around old town, but worthy of a destination in itself!“

“tenders are great ❤️ milkshake too“

“so good so clean and the service is a super service !! totally 2 tums up!!!“

“It was first time at In N Out and I was not disappointed! The service was prompt friendly, and our order came quickly. The burger was delicious piping hot! The only reason for the 4 stars was the fries were a let down. Tasted like cardboard.“

“Always perfect burgers and fries at this location. Friendly and fun staff.“

“Absolutely delicious. All the talk about their California Burrito is true.

Wife and I get a Pastor and a California Burrito and eat half of each. Try their hot sauces, red and green both.

Place is small but runs quickly and smoothly.

Parking is a bit tough but it's not their fault, the lot is barely 12 spaces. Don't let that stop you, just go a little further to the larger lot and walk about 30 seconds for your burrito. It's worth it.“

“I personally like the Surf n' Turf tots. It has carne asada and shrimp. What else do you need? 😁

Parking: A lot of businesses like the liquor store, cleaners, laundromat, and 7-11 sharing the same parking lot. So, sometimes, it's tough to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Too small of a place to go in on a wheelchair.“

“I’m a rode biker and I ride all over San Diego but I never miss my weekly stop for a quick mocha to help me make it up another hill. Miriam and Q treat me like family. So glad that I found this little paradise in Sorrento Valley.“

“There is not enough time or words on this planet that can adequality praise Halal Shack. The dinning experience is nothing less than spiritual, may I say religious. In a world of darkness, pain, and misery the Shack is my refuge. My life hangs off of Halal Shack like the Shawarma hangs on the rotating stick. To say the least, the atmosphere is extraordinarily comforting. The perfectly simple basmati rice is delectably seasoned, and perfectly complements your choice of protein. The sauce and sumac finishers bring it all together into a perfect equilibrium, much like God's perfectly chaotic universe. The whole experience, the buildup as you wait in line, the experimentation with different ingredients, the final hurrah as the flavors overwhelm your mouth, it is a near sexual experience. The staff are experts, guides in this incredible experience. They are the deliverers of my holy communion, priests ordained by the highest authority. We are not worthy of Halal Shack, yet the Shack does not judge, it invites those of all backgrounds. The shack dwells in Babylon; Panda Express, Rubios, Subway, Shakesmart, Baba's Pizza, and Jamal's Chicken tempt those who have not been Enlighted. Yet others and myself have seen through their lies, hacked through the jungle that blocks our path to destiny. Halal Shake, thank you with all my heart.“

“The best place in San Diego“

“Number 1 burger in the world 🌎“

“These people were great! They accidentally handmade a mistake with our order and came out and gave us compensation in the form of gift card. Apologize for the inconvenience. I wanted a drink refreshed and in true Chick-fil-A fashion seemed to be genuinely friendly people.“

“Fast friendly service. Clean restrooms“

“Want to say the waiting for longer then inspect and had only one problem went back three time until they got a burger right.
The girl that was waiting on us was very easy and friendly .
But the guy was very unappreciated on helping us with the remake .
On vacation, I'm trying something different. From Texas“

“came with my family to eat during lunch time everything was hot and fresh. Fast Service clean restaurant friendly team and what can I say about the kitchen team Serving hot food thanks“

“This place is located in the food court inside 99 Ranch in Balboa Ave. They have tables to sit in. I ordered the 3 piece chicken combo meal. Salt & pepper flavor. Also, ordered the spicy mac & cheese. Chicken was pretty crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The mac & cheese was also very good“

“This is such a wonderful type of work ethic! The employees are very sweet and it has an old fashioned ordering style if you don't want to go through the drive thru. It was a very nice experience and I wish I lived closer because everyone was lovely!!“

“Great conversation with the owner here today about how this style of food benefits our bodies and being a healthy option to cook at home. Very personable and relatable! I will be back“

“Great food but terrible location in the middle of an industrial park. They need to move to a strip mall on a busy street to get more business“

“es demasiado rico lo recomiendo“

“Young Lady was extremely polite & helpful, helped me with the App., had 2 Famous Stars with Cheese

Kid-friendliness: Parents and family can Enjoy & Eat comfortably

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchair accessibility“

“juicy burgers and great shakes“

“Amazingly friendly staff. When you walk in, you immediately feel like family. There is so much variety. The #25 is amazing with it's fresh sliced avocado. The #45 is easily my favorite hot sandwich. There is always 2 new soups daily and all of them are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and fully customizable. The prices are easily justified when you consider just how big the portions are. The staff in general will always make you feel welcome. They are attentive to their customers and have a unique way of making a bad day a lot better. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere here.“

“the grilled breakfast sandwich & Cobb salad wit & Arnold Palmer is delicious 😋“

“el lugar está agradable al estilo californiano, y la comida muy buena. las papas fritas deliciosas y en general todo rico 🤩🤩🤩🤩 ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️“

“Just delicious and an underrated spot. I’ll be back at Sara’s anytime I’m down in San Diego.

I really appreciate the full vegan menu which you don’t see often at an authentic burrito stand. Ordered the soyrizo quesadilla and was not disappointed. The tortilla was fresh, flavorful beans, and liked the vegan cheese. My friend got the Beach Cali which was beyond good and perfect for walking over to the beach to enjoy.

I’m sure anything on the menu is amazing. If you’re at mission beach, eat at Sara’s!“

“this has always been my "go to" Jack on the way home from work... but... the last two visits they put ice in my drink twice when I asked for NO ICE and told me the straw was in the bag and it wasn't... and my Cluck sandwiches were served without sauce or pickles on both visits... what's happening?“

“Awesome and kid friendly ❤️“

“Great taqueria! 🌮 Strip mall taco joints can be sketchy, but they’re legit! Fast, friendly service & yummy food 🤤 this time I got a $10.99 Fiesta meal, which comes with a 🌮 taco, “mini” 🌯 burrito, chips & 🥤 drink. Their salsa bar is perfect & love that they have salsa fresca! Enough for two meals.“

“I met the best employee there tonight. Upbeat and genuinely a happy camper. She made my visit extremely enjoyable.
I've been dealing with a case of severe pain from an incident that happened on Saturday night. This person was just sweet and comforting as if she had invited me into her home for afternoon tea. A calming spirit. WOW! Thank you Gloria for being you. And tip her well. She needs a 🚗. Im going to call her GLO! She glows!“

“Update: Antonio E. Has amazing customer service and patience. He is very positive and upbeat and makes the most out of our visits to Taco Bell! Thank you Antonio!

Carlos R is amazing! He makes my day every time I go to this Taco Bell :D“

“I recently made a quick drive-thru run to this Wendy’s and it was such a smooth experience! Ordering was incredibly easy; and the staff was friendly and efficient.After placing my order, I drove up to the pick-up window, where I was pleasantly surprised to receive my food in less than 3 minutes! The speed at which they prepared my order was impressive.Overall, I left the drive-thru feeling satisfied and impressed by the excellent service. I will definitely be returning for more quick and delicious meals in the future!“
