    We've ordered their number one Banh Mi sandwich: Bánh Mì Đặc biệt - their House Special "featuring…read morebuttery whipped mayo, chicken liver pâté, two types of ham, pickled carrot, daikon, cilantro, jalapeño, with their signature soy sauce." We really enjoyed their #1 Banh Mi sandwich, which was fresh, tasty, and surprisingly healthy, with such a satisfying crunch. The sandwich meat wasn't fatty at all, thank goodness. The sandwich was reasonably priced at around $8 with tax, and it was such a refreshing meal for my boyfriend & me to enjoy in the middle of the summer heat. Not only was our House Special sandwich prepared and served quickly; we originally thought that our House Sprcial Bánh Mi was going be served warm. We were very satisfied with trying their sandwiches for our very firs time! I also noticed that Banh Mi Paris Express also carried to-go drinks, chiken egg rolls and other ready-to-go foods, which makes it especially convenient for busy individuals and families who are always on the go! Forgot to take a photo of our sandwich! Make sure to give this place a try for lunch sometime soon, they typically close at 4pm. Head's up - * there's ample amount of free parking within this shopping plaza, which is such a relief.

    I was super excited to try this spot as it's a banh mi spot I wouldn't have to drive 20+ mins for…read more I got this crispy pork belly banh mi and the cha lua banh mi. The crispy pork belly was indeed crispy even after a drive home. I just wished it had a little more flavor. The cha lua banh mi was decent, but I wasn't a fan of how they added 2 small cuts to make it look like there was more.

    This was my first time trying Grindhouse, and unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan. I ordered the…read moresweet cream cold brew because I was really in the mood for something like that, but honestly, it just wasn't for me. Maybe I didn't order the right thing, or maybe it was just an off day, but I probably wouldn't order that drink again. The picture looks promising but just not it. I actually brought one home for my husband to try as well, and without me even saying anything, he wasn't a fan of it either. I also have to say that when I first walked into the location, I didn't really feel a warm or welcoming vibe. I was hoping to have a better first experience, but unfortunately, between the drink and the overall experience, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe I just need to try something different, but for now, this one just wasn't a hit for us.

    I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

    Mammamia Deli Market - Gino & Gianni's Pizzeria located in La Mesa borderline Spring Valley. Let's…read morejust start off with... WOW, the BEAUTY of this market as well as the pizzeria! The market specializes in AUTHENTIC ITALIAN items. From fresh pasta to exotic cheeses and homemade sauces! A wide range of beverages (I have never heard of or seen before) as well as gelato! They have their own parking lot but, it can still be challenging as this appears to be a very popular spot! Customer service was good on the deli side which is located on the market side of the venue. We ordered a Specialty Sandwich as well as a sub from their Sub Menu. Besides sandwiches, the deli offers meats, cheeses, and antipasta choices. We ordered: Octopus salad - perfectly cooked octopus Pasta salad - A tad bit too al dente for my liking Mammamia torpedo sub from Sub Menu - delish... The Godfather from Specialty Sandwich Menu - AMAZING flavor if you enjoy that sweet and savory flavor profile! Gino & Gianni's Pizzeria is a seperate area of the market which is accessible while in the market or directly from the parking lot. They offer inside dining as well as patio dining. Customer service was AMAZING at the pizzeria! Pizzas were phenomenal! Although I did not try them, the garlic knots looked amazing as well! We ordered: Mushroom pepperoni slice - good in flavor Sicilian style Honey-Roni pizza - Square in shape and appeared to be deep dish style. AMAZING in flavor! Gino & Gianni's Vodka-Roni special slice - AMAZING!!! Something about that touch of hot honey that just elevates the flavors to a whole other level!!! So sad I am barely finding out about this place yet so happy I FINALLY DID and plan on being one of their regulars. If in the area... do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some AMAZING eats! YOU'RE WELCOME in advance!

    This is just another 5-Star experience! I needed to have lunch and also dinner combined so I…read moredecided to head to Gino and Gianni's Pizzeria by Momma Mia. I had to order a slice of Margarita and another type of white pizza for my Mom. The pizza was so awesome! I also bought sausage to go so I can make sausage sandwiches tomorrow night. I also grabbed some food to go for the rest of the family . They serve pizza by the slice and whole pies also if you so desire! If you want the best pizza, Italian dishes, homemade bread, homemade sauce, wine, Italian cookies, candies, and everything. Italian come to "Mamma Mia!"
