UGH! Forever disappointed there is only one Jollibee in SD and it's suuuuper out of the way for me. However, where there's a will there's a way, and I will ALWAYS swing by when an errand brings me that way (you see what I did there XD) I did drive through and got the two piece spicy chickenjoy with palabok. Service was a bit slow but they were clearly really busy in the restaurant. Thankfully there weren't many cars ahead of me. I had hoped to snag an ube pie but was informed that they no longer carried it. Sad! My drive home was agonizing, as the warm, heavenly chicken scent permeated my car while I wove my way through traffic. Once I got home, I wasted no time tearing into my bag full of oily, flavorful goodness. Though the chicken was not perfectly crispy after accompanying me through rush hour traffic, it's thin breading and flavorful seasoning more than made up for it. I will say it's never that spicy though! The palabok was also delicious, with sweet savory meat sauce and soft vermicelli. Though it was a bit greasy, I couldn't help but shovel it into my mouth in between gravy-laden bites of chicken. I then had the Genius idea to mix gravy into the palabok which added a whole new layer of flavor. Incredible! Overall, Jollibee is one of my favorite fast food joints, and one of the few that I will go out of my way to eat. I hope to catch the ube pie next time they have it in stock! read more

I came to order food for dinner. The app has $10 off if you spend $45 and above. When I ordered the food and ready to pay. The cashier said that the offer is only for new reward member. I showed her that it doesn't say it for new member. She still did not honor it. It's so annoying that it happened. I tried ordering on line. I can't click the coupon. The food was good though . Chicken were temperature hot and delicious. The palabok was ok.my son liked his Angus cheeseburger. read more

Sadly not as good compared to when it first opened. I ate here once or twice when it had just opened and the quality was good for fast food. Today I tried it again, and it was noticeably not good. The adobo rice tasted kind of sour. I had mash potatoes as well and that was okay, but the gravy was a lot more watery compared to before. The tenders were moist, but I could tell they had been sitting out for a while. My food was not hot. The menu is definitely a lot bigger now and the service workers are attentive, but none of that members if the food sucks. It's ghetto and super average now. Won't be coming back or trying any other Jollibee. Popeyes still reigns. read more

Was always curious about Jollibee, and finally tried it for the first time. I went with a chicken sandwich, no sauce, and a peach/mango pie. How was it? Chicken Sandwich- Bomb! Easily one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches I've had. The chicken was incredibly moist, piping hot and had a tasty breading (reminded me of seasoned breadcrumbs that I make my chicken parm with....same flavor). It was delicious! Peach/Mango Pie- Little fried hand pie. It was delicious, but don't eat it while you are driving. The innards oozed out all over my seatbelt and shirt. Eat this at a table or outside the car lol. Will definitely come back for another chicken sandwich when I'm back in San Diego. read more

Jollibee, the iconic Filipino franchise, is a global sensation and one of the most beloved fried chicken chains in the U.S. Conveniently located in the heart of Mira Mesa, it's the only Jollibee spot in San Diego, making it a go-to destination for both locals and fans of Filipino cuisine. What We Tried Aloha Chicken Sandwich: A true standout. The combination of juicy fried chicken breast, grilled pineapple, crispy bacon, and melted cheese is divine. The sweet and savory flavors are perfectly balanced. Chickenjoy with Gravy: Their signature fried chicken is crispy, flavorful, and incredibly juicy. The special Chickenjoy gravy is a game-changer--rich and savory, it's perfect for dipping both the chicken and fries. $11 Meal Deal: This combo is amazing value! It includes 2 pieces of their famous fried chicken, one side (your choice), a Ube or Peach Mango Pie, a drink, and a buttery biscuit. Perfect for those who want to try a little bit of everything. Ube Pie: A dessert you can't miss! The crispy, golden crust is filled with real ube (purple yam) at the perfect sweetness level. It's a unique and satisfying treat. Additional Notes Wait Time: Due to its popularity, especially as the only Jollibee in San Diego, the location can get quite busy during weekends and meal times. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, so plan accordingly. Atmosphere: The lively and vibrant environment adds to the charm of the dining experience. Thestore has the outside dining area which might result as pet-friendly to dine-in with the dogs. At the meanwhile, the drive-thru services are available. They have extended their business hours from 9am to 11pm at Friday to Sunday. (If one comes early at 9 am, many foods options might not be available like tenders and gravy sauce as ones have to wait for extra time until the food are ready. Jollibee in Mira Mesa delivers on its reputation with bold flavors, hearty portions, and comforting dishes. Whether you're craving fried chicken, a satisfying meal deal, or a taste of the Philippines, this spot is well worth the visit! read more

Coming from the East Coast, where Jollibee locations are scarce, finally having easy access to one on the West Coast is a treat. Back in NYC, there are only two locations; One in Midtown Manhattan that doesn't even have the full menu and the original Woodside, Queens spot, which exists largely because of the big Filipino community there. Now that I live on the West Coast, eating Jollibee is pure nostalgia, bringing back memories of growing up in the Philippines. Out of all fast food fried chicken places, Jollibee is hands down my favorite; Not because I grew up with it, but because of how well the chicken is made. It's fried perfectly, with a crispy, well-seasoned coating that isn't overly greasy. The balance of crunch and juiciness, paired with the side of gravy for dipping, makes it a unique experience that stands out from other chains. That said, my biggest frustration comes from their inconsistent availability of spicy chicken. Whenever I go through the drive-thru past 9 PM, they're usually out of it. While I understand that some menu items may run out late at night, it feels unfair that they still offer spicy chicken for online orders but not for in-person customers. If they can keep making the original for new guest coming after 9PM, I don't see why they can't prepare another batch of spicy as well. My schedule varies, and I've had plenty of chances to get spicy chicken earlier in the day when it's guaranteed. However, I just think it's only fair to offer the full menu to all customers rather than seemingly "gatekeeping" it for online orders to limit production. As for the ambiance, I visited during the last hour, so the lobby was closed to new customers, and it looked like they were already cleaning up. I didn't get a chance to experience the dining room this time around, but the drive-thru was quick and easy. There was no long line or wait, which I appreciated. Because of this, I'm leaving a 3-star review. If I could, I'd rate it a 3.5, but I typically reserve 4 stars for places with better overall service and 5 stars for businesses that truly stand out. I love the food and will continue coming back for it, but the service itself is just mediocre. read more

The Chicken - cooked very crispy and the spicy chicken has the perfect amount of heat, great size of chicken also Only thing is the blood on the chicken, might be using frozen chicken but it leaks blood and touches the bone making the chicken look raw and old 7.8/10 Fries - reminds me of McDonalds fries 9/10 Adobo rice - smelled like burnt garlic 2/10 Mashed potatoes - classic taste 8/10 Mango peach pie - tastes like raw dough with super sweet filling.. i think if they used chunks of fruit without the jelly filling it would be better off... inedible for me 1/10 read more

Everytime we out west, we usually have a member of our group who has never had Jollibee. This time around we stopped into this location versus the national city one. This space is clean, has staff constantly outdoors and indoors cleaning and you can smell the cleanliness haha. We mainly focus on the chicken when here and ofc the pie. No special flavors this time around aside peach mango. The chicken here even if you get spicy is NOT going to kill anyone that's intolerant to spice in my opinion. The chicken comes with thigh and drums in a bucket, always super hot (temp) super juicy and the right amount of crunch. I can't wait until one opens up closer to home back east. The fries are comparable to your normal McD style fries could use some more seasoning. The gravy is great for dunking your chicken in for each bite. The pies i like because the pastry part of it is somewhat flaky and not overly doughy, if that makes sense. Once again jolli's chicken doesn't disappoint. I'm not personally a fan of the sweet style spaghetti but that's just personal preference. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and it was packed! I've always loved the smell of their chicken and glad there's one in the neighborhood. Ordered the ever popular pineapple quencher (delicious but sweet) and the 2pc chicken joy with fries. Their fries are really good cos they're crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The chicken has a nice crisp to it but ultimately not that flavorful and I don't care for the gravy, which I know, is one of the reasons that makes this place popular. For a fast food joint, I felt that service was pretty slow. Albeit, it was busy, but we still waited about 15 min to get our food. Good amount of seating inside and they had some outdoor seating at the side of the store as well. read more

Not good at all. The Chickenjoy was not freshly cooked, unlike at Wingstop in Poway. The pancit palabok was not as tasty compared to Red Ribbon. I have no plans to return to any Jollibee restaurants. read more

Worth a try! This Jollibee location is tucked away off the main road, and so not readily visible. The clean fast-food restaurant has a drive--through as well as decent amounts of indoor and outdoor seating. The new angus burgers are fresh, tasty, and filling. Service was quick on one recent weekday lunchtime. read more

I live in Iowa, so I cannot frequent this Jollibee, but if I lived in California i would be here everyday. I absolutely love the vibes in this place; it is unintentionally nostalgic. I have a love for Filipino food, and this is possibly my most favorite chicken place ever. The service was fantastic, even when they were busy! read more

4 stars for fried chicken and spaghetti. And 3 stars for the peach pies. The crispy chicken sandwich was okay, it was dry. But it tasted delicious when dipped in the gravy sauce.

I have a love/hate relationship with Jollibee. The spicy chicken is by far the best spicy fried chicken at any fast food restaurant, at least in my opinion. The spice permeates all the way to the chicken, not just the breading. The spicy is truly spicy so make sure you have a drink handy. The peach mango pie is amazing! There is nothing else like it and it's an item I can't not get when I order. The sides in my opinion are just ok. They serve Pepsi products which I'm not a fan of, but the pineapple quencher is addictive, I wish they sold it in a larger size. So, why 3 stars? The service can really be terrible. I've placed orders online with a pick up time in 20 minutes and an hour and a half later it isn't done. You are literally fighting with employees to make your order. Drive thru orders get all the priority so you can stand there waiting for a very long time. If you ask about your order they have no problem lying and telling you 10 minutes more when they know it's not. Trying to place an order in store can also be rough. With one person ahead of me, I've waited over 20 minutes just for an employee to acknowledge me. They also, can't keep the spicy chicken consistently. So, I love the food but the service definitely needs some improvement. Too bad they don't seem to care about the terrible service they offer. read more

Close to home and online + pick-up times can be a few mins late during its busiest time of the day or can be on-point at its best.

Normally I don't review fast food places because what more is there to say about fast food? It's food. it's fast. You'll probably feel like garbage after eating it. But Jollibee is different. Jollibee is hands down the BEST Fast Food experience you can have. - Inexpensive - Quality - and this location had AMAZING service Despite it being out of the way by about 30 minutes, I'm going to seize the opportunity whenever possible to pay this location a visit! read more

Extremely good fried chicken bro. i ordered delivery and it still came crispy. i got the 6 piece bucket w 2 sides n drinks. nah but even tho it was delivery shi was still mad crispy. not sure what kinda sorcery and salem witch practices they be doing for the breading but keep doing it. it also stayed crispy after i MICROWAVED it the next day. like how crazy is that huh? but i got the spicy and honestly i prefer the non spicy better ngl. the spicy flavor in this is a bit weird imo. maybe bc you can like feel it in ur nose. but yeah still good tho. also the gravy with it was really nice and flavorful. had a nice peppery flavor that i just adored. and the sides i got were j rice since i was watching the figure. ha ha! nah but the rice was nice and soft too. usually when i get rice from a takeout asian fried chicken spot, it be hard and stale but this was good. only thing i ain't like was the weird flavor that the spicy gave but otherwise jollibee is still top tier fried chicken read more

Honestly Jollibee has always been one of my favorites growing up so it has a special place in my heart. Was really happy when this one opened up closer to me in North SD. The chicken here is so crispy and juicy inside, you can never go wrong. I tried the chicken sandwich today and it was also really good! They don't skimp out on the chicken, so it's a good size and it kept its crispiness and juiciness even in sandwich form! I also got the spaghetti, which if you don't like Filipino spaghetti then I'd skip on it because it is traditional Filipino spaghetti (sweet with the red hot dogs). But I absolutely love it! The service here was fast on a Thursday night. Ambiance is fast-food casual. read more

Great food, and workers were super nice. Shoutout to Bennie for taking my group photo and bringing out Jollibee for it.

Such a wonderful experience. She was friendly, professional, and very attentive to what I needed. The massage pressure was perfect and she asked if anything needed to be adjusted. The space is clean, quiet, and made me feel comfortable right away. I'm definitely returning for another session. read more
