Reading Cinemas-Grossmont Center 10
lmkluque Says: Going to the movies while on holiday is not the most usual thing, but there are times that it's really hot in La Mesa, so sitting in an air conditioned theater during the hottest part of the day can be a wonderful experience, especially if it is a film you really wanted to...
Pacific Southwest Railway Museum
lmkluque Says: The La Mesa Depot is located near the Spring Street Trolley station. It is only open on Saturdays between the hours of 1 pm and 4 pm. The Depot is the oldest building in La Mesa. It has moved a couple of times, changed purposes several times and has changed owners several...
lmkluque Says: What luck! Just as I'm preparing to build a page about La Mesa it happens to be the same time as their Oktoberfest.Three days at the beginning of October they hold this celebration and it seems to be their biggest event of the year. Cars parked in every spot on every...

Rev. Henry A. McKinney House 1899
Yaqui Says: Home to the La Mesa Historical Society since 1977, the McKinney House serves as a good example of semi-rural, middle-class life in La Mesa at the turn of the twentieth century. The McKinney family moved to this area, then known as Allison Springs, in 1899. Reverend McKinney...

Johnny B's Burgers and Brew.: JB's Burgers are excellent
Agraichen Says: Located in a couple sections of a building just about at the corner of La Mesa Blvd and 4th Ave Johnny B's comes across as a bit crowded. The elevation of the entrance is about a foot lower than the back section bar / kitchen area and that's lower than the out door patio.The...
All Things Bright and British: Tea Anyone?
lmkluque Says: This is a local novelty store full of British-y stuff. The staff seem really sweet and helpful. There are three categories this establishment could be listed under; Restaurant tips, Shopping tips and Nightlife tips. I'll start here in "Restaurants." When I first saw the...
Sanfilippo's Pizza: Family Owned Pizza and More
lmkluque Says: This family owned pizza place was established over thirty-three years ago and is a favorite of La Mesa locals. One reason for considering this place is that it is so near the SD Trolley station at Spring Street. The look of it is not impressive, but as with most local...
Casa de Pico: One of the Best in San Diego County
lmkluque Says: Casa de Pico has been my favorite Mexican restaurant for many years. It used to be located in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park in the Bazaar del Mundo, for about 35 years, before the lease ran out. Since, it had to be moved to another location which turned out to be...
Por Favor Restaurant: Family Owned Mexican!
lmkluque Says: The first building on the street that I noticed on La Mesa Boulevard. It was early morning and looked pretty big compared to the other buildings along this block. The Marrujo family opened it in 1974 and seems pretty popular. There is a nice sized fenced area for outside...
Dieter Fischer's Star Car Service
Agraichen Says: While not specifically a transportation tip for getting around, this is about repairs from a great shop. Being new to the San Diego area I've been searching for a good Mercedes Mechanic as there is not a dealership reasonable close to where I now live.The San Diego MB Club...

lmkluque Says: The Grossmont Transit Center is just one stop from the La Mesa Trolley stop and it is located near the Grossmont Shopping Center. A center full of shops, restaurants, one of my favorites, and department stores, both budget type and not so budget type. At first sight I...
San Diego Trolley Stations in La Mesa
lmkluque Says: La Mesa is a town that is not really compact, so having the use of a car is probably the most convenient mode of transportation for most people who are planning to stay here. However, a tourist would do well to use the SD Trolley to get here from San Diego if coming over for...
Yaqui Says: Historic Route US 80 was commissioned in 1926 and it originally began from San Diego California to Tybee Island, Georgia. It was decommissioned in California in 1964 when Interstate 80 was officially commissioned that begins up in San Francisco and ends in New York. Most of...

La Mesa Antiques Mall: Hidden Treasures
Yaqui Says: This is a wonderful antique store. They have so many things you have to be careful as to not knock things over, so be careful. The folks here were ok, not very friendly. I found this wonderful 70's toy dump truck for my grand nephew and it was at a good price.
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: As I'm traveling to La Mesa on a regular basis these days, I've decided to build a page about this town in the County of San Diego. I believe it is the third largest city, next to San Diego City and Chula Vista. I have friends who love to hang out here, so I'm sure there are interesting things to see and do.
I don't know the area well so it will be an adventure for me to explore it and tell you about it.
Fondest memory: As I don't yet have a photo taken in La Mesa I've put this car with a surf board hanging out to show that even while in La Mesa, which is not near the beach at all it is still just a few minutes drive to the nearest place to surf.
I'll add here that La Mesa is normally hotter than any where along the coast as it is what we call, "inland."
