Ray's Mexican Restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers quality, flavor, and heart…read more Run by a warm and welcoming family--Robert, Mehri, and their son Adonis Bahrami--this spot stands out for its fresh ingredients and homemade feel. Robert is very friendly and he even offered us free chips. The love they put into every dish is evident, making it far from your typical fast-food Mexican joint. Favorites include the Fish Burrito, Surf and Turf burrito, fish tacos, and the chicken enchiladas, which are generously filled and packed with flavor. The fish burrito (made with tilapia) is light and fresh, and the option to choose grilled or breaded fish is a rare treat. The crispy tortilla and bold flavors elevate the experience. Service is impressively fast--orders are often ready well before the estimated time--and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is clean, well-decorated, and has a friendly, community vibe where regulars are remembered and warmly greeted. Whether dining in or ordering delivery, Ray's offers a consistently delightful experience. The horchata is a great add-on, and the atmosphere makes you want to return again and again. We will come here soon again with my whole family.

We absolutely love Underdog (as well as the breweries they share a space with when at Barley &…read moreSword/Seek/Goal)! I love the concept of breweries sharing space with food trucks in general except you get the option of THREE breweries here! In term of food, we ordered the Jessie burger & Banh Mi Hot Dog. Our FAVORITE item we always seem to order is the Jessie burger. The burger is incredibly flavorful and is feel so balanced with the kimchi and jalapenos. The Banh Mi dog is a fun Vietnamese twist of the hot dog. I love the brightness of the veggies and jalapenos but to be honest I would recommend the Jessie burger more so than the Banh Mi dog!

Underdog has managed to win over someone like me who isn't a vegan and typically not a big fan of…read morevegan food. Yet, it stands out as one of my favorites, and I find myself ordering from them frequently. One of the things you will notice as soon as you approach the place is how clean and net their food truck is. Their menu features burgers, corn dogs, fries, and more, all with a twist and a variety of flavorful options. Among my personal favorites are the Goblin's Club and Jalapeno Popper Corn Dog. The corn dogs are notably large, with a batter that's never oily, always maintaining a tender and flavorful quality. The Animal fries, a perfect side to burgers and corn dogs, are never overly salty, and the generous portions of golden, perfectly cooked fries are a must-try. The Classic Burger and The Jesse Burger are standout choices, boasting substantial sizes with soft and fluffy buns. The sauces and flavors elevate them above your typical burgers - vegan or not. What sets Underdog apart is not just their delicious offerings but also the friendly and accommodating team behind the scenes. They are pleasant individuals dedicated to their advocacy of normalizing delicious plant-based food. In my opinion, they are doing an excellent job of offering delicious comfort food classics that can be responsibly enjoyed for generations. This is a business that I will continue to support.

I have read other Yelp reviewers opinions of this store/deli, most if not all of them say the…read moresandwiches are delicious and priced reasonably. Today craving a salad, I headed up to this store at the corner of Monroe and Oregon Street. My choice? The BamBino! A craveworthy salad made with Italian sub ingredients and loaded! At $11.99 this giant salad is enough to serve two hearty eaters. I added a toasted pastrami and Swiss on rye bread, deleting a few of the regular toppings. Delicious, though I should have paid for extra pastrami. The young woman behind the deli prepares your order quickly and with a smile! Don't forget to tip. This store offers one of the most unique selection of items within-look for gourmet canned items and bottled oils, alcoholic drinks, unique jellies, etc. while you wait. Just a fun place to find an interesting addition to a meal or gift for a foodie friend. Free Street parking. Easy to find.

I stopped by around 3 PM on a Wednesday. There are a handful of parking spots next to the food…read moretruck, and they have a covered tent with a table if you'd like to eat there. The concept is definitely unique. Their menu includes burgers, wraps, shawarma wraps, and street corn, with the option to add Hot Cheetos or Doritos to several menu items. I ordered the: *Doritos Grilled Chicken Breast Wrap: it comes served over a bed of French fries tossed with Doritos seasoning. The fries were flavorful, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wrap itself was good, but I was expecting a much stronger Doritos flavor. There wasn't much of that signature taste inside the wrap, so it felt like a missed opportunity considering the concept. You can also upgrade your order with street corn mixed with Hot Cheetos or Doritos for an additional $2.99. My total, including tip, came to a little over $18. While that's a bit on the pricey side, the wrap was massive and easily enough for two meals. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it's a fun and creative concept with generous portions. I just wish they'd lean into the theme a bit more by adding more of that bold Doritos flavor to the wrap itself.

The menu is definitely built around bold flavors and fun concepts. They offer their signature Bomb…read moreBuns, Bomb Bun Bowls, loaded fries, smash beef burgers, grilled chicken wraps, and beef shawarma wraps. What really makes them stand out is their use of Hot Cheetos and Doritos throughout the menu. We decided to try the Hot Cheeto Beef Burger ($12.99), which comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles, caramelized onions, arugula, Swiss cheese, Rizzo sauce, and fries underneath the burger. I ordered mine without pickles and added avocado. Presentation-wise, it was just okay. It definitely looked better on the menu. The burger came out looking a little rushed and the bun wasn't centered. Not a huge deal, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Service was pretty transactional from start to finish. Nothing negative, but there wasn't much interaction beyond taking the order and handing out the food. As for the burger itself, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't quite live up to the concept. The beef tasted fresh and good quality. I really liked the avocado addition. It added a nice richness and freshness that balanced everything out. I just wish there had been more caramelized onions because they were barely noticeable. Oh and no clue where the arugula went. My biggest issue was that the Hot Cheetos didn't really do much for the burger itself. Most of that flavor ended up on the fries, so the burger never really delivered the wow factor I was expecting based on the name and photos. Ironically, the fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The Hot Cheeto flavor came through much more there, and I liked that there was melted cheese underneath with their signature sauce throughout. They felt more like loaded fries than a side dish and honestly stole the spotlight from the burger. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For me, it landed right in the middle. Decent, but not something I'd specifically go out of my way for again.

I, of course, have already been to different locations in San Diego so we decided on the Mission Valley location. My Mom and I ordered chicken sandwiches from the grill which were so tasty! They do not skimp on toppings for their sandwiches so that is totally a plus! I also love their secret side sauce. My Mom enjoyed her sandwich also but she said it was so filling. We also enjoyed the friendly service we received from the staff which is always a plus! Nonetheless, Board and Brew comes through once again to always satisfy the hungriest appetite!
