Grocery Stores in La Mesa, CA

“I love Trader Joe's. Good food at a great price point. Customer service is always great. I especially love going for their flower selection. The only gripe I have is over their parking situation. I've come and gone numerous times due to a lack of parking. This last time, I had a Karen/Kevin couple swipe the parking spot I was waiting for. Luckily, I live close by so I can try again, but I've had more failures than successes at this point.”

“The pizza @ Vine Ripe is really good. Customer service is great. Martin & all the staffs wonderful. Pizza is really tasty. I go there one a week to get their pizza . Kim.”

“I drive across town to go to this liquor store. If you want something they don't have they will get it. Happy guy that works there is always smiling,friendly willing to go that extra mile. Ask for "Bronson".”

“I love this store! Couldn’t believe all the spices they have in stock and in bulk!Clean & organized store and very friendly staff, it was a joy to shop there and will continue now that I know all they have to offer, especially in organic!”

“The young guy ( owners nephew) is very disrespectful and he tried to burn me a $ 20.00 bill after giving him a $50 bill and he short changed me until I noticed it while I was walking out of his uncles store! Because he saw that I was talking to someone and I was distracted and if he did it to me then... I can't imagine all the other times he burnt me for a lot of other bills that I gave him?!! He's a cheater, and yes of course, so his is his uncle because I have bought Kirkland orange juice at the Costco two for five dollars is 65 and he charges $66.06 dollars and tax for one Kirkland orange juice! This is horrible it is absolutely horrible that people take advantage of any one and everyone! He may think that I don't have much money because how I come in there!, But he has no idea I'll give very little change and many of times change change and I can tell by the way you give them money like this the way they think of you and treat you is absolutely horrible and I do this on purpose! I just wanted to see the stores that I temporary Lee live and how they treat the community and it's a goddamn shame. So remember Sam's market on University in Parks Avenue at that corner please don't go there! Dear Lord please help those that need help in their financial situation. And those of us that do try to help some of the community for people that are less unfortunate please please help dear Lord p.s. the owner is quite delightful and if I ever need anything, he always makes sure that the store Brandon supplies what I'd ask for! Although you have to remember, it's gonna cost you a little bit more than the regular store... But he's very good at helping his customers getting what they ask for”

“Although this store is small and does not have the selection of the Santee location, they do a great job of offering options to the customers by being available just not visible. A lot of the workers are in the back but available for a fresh cut of meat or bakery items. The produce is always fresh, many healthy options including a robust natural health section. The bulk items are a go to and often less expensive than packaged items even at larger stores.”

“I always find something to like about this store, and today is no different. Sushi Fridays, where selected rolls are marked down to $6, is a super deal for lunch or dinner, and the quality is right there with restaurants. Today, there was a new option - Triangle Bap. I've never had this before but have seen it on TV. It's a banana leaf filled with rice, fish (tuna or salmon), and kimchi. Wow! Their regular California Roll is also very good. I can't wait to see what else they will offer!”

“If you buy stuff that's only on sale, you could save some money. Especially with the mix n match deal.Prices are high but they're high everywhere. It's a 'Pick your poison ' kinda thing. Most of the workers are nice and helpful.”

“I'm writing this review primarily to say how great the staff and General Manager are at this Albertsons in La Mesa, CA. I'm disabled, and have had several encounters with the General Manager. He is always willing to help you out with anything you need, even if it's just for the littlest of things. I had to ask him for a favor today, TWICE, for the very same thing. He was very gracious. I get the same service from the rest of the staff as well. In addition to the store's service, the store has a great atmosphere. It's very clean inside as well. Furthermore, the food is always fresh and delicious. I know because my partner buys our groceries there sometimes. I know that their prices are a bit higher than most stores, but you get what you pay for is a phrase that is no where more true than here. I should also mention the pharmacy. I recently got my sixth Covid Vaccine Shot, and they were more than helpful. I was able to use my own insurance.”

“Never thought I'd write a review for Vons sushi but I definitely think it deserves one! I was craving sushi and this was right next door so I decided to hop on over and grab some to try. It was actually really good and satisfied my craving. On Fridays all of their rolls are $6 which is a great deal!”

“I love that the items I am looking for are usually in sufficient quantities that I can get as many as I need most of the time. I have to admit that I have never personally found any consumables past the expiration date. This is vitally important to me, as I have found issues at other places that have similar groceries for sale.”

“Based on my various experiences here, this Walmart is decent overall. Good selection of items. Customer service has been normally fine. No issues have occurred. Parking can sometimes be hard to find during peak hours. Would recommend.”

“I have been shopping at this VONS for 10 years and it always has what I need. From healthy options to meal prep to meat selections. I have always found what I need here. The customer service at the check out is always top notch and I have seen them go thru some experiences where I am surprised to see them keep their cool.”

“Walmart might not be the place to get the best customer service but on this day the customer service rep that helped me was extremely pleasant to deal with. I was here for the Black Friday deal for the straight talk iPhone SE deal for $49. As soon as I walked to the electronic section I was greeted by a pleasant worker with such a big smile and asked if I needed help. I definitely did I told her that I was here for the Black Friday deal for the iPhone SE. She quickly got the attention of activation personnel and asked her to help me. I thought that was very nice of her because a lot of times when I go to Walmart the employees just kind of ignore you. This visit was off to a pleasant start and then he got even better with the phone representative. She was very helpful and she pointed me in the right direction as far as prepaid plans. She told me all the benefits of each plan and let me decide without any pressure. What a pleasant way to purchase a phone at Walmart. I didn't quite get their name but they were two very lovely ladies that was very helpful and nice.”

“This specific vons has a great bakery selection. There's a Vons closer to my home, yet if I need a quick last minute dessert for a birthday this is my go-to place. I've also ordered custom cakes with as little notice as two days. It's been a life saver for me.”
