Mystic Grill — Restaurant in La Mesa

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Mystic Grill in La Mesa, and it was an extraordinary culinary experience. This hidden gem offers some of the most delightful Mediterranean cuisine in San Diego.

The standout dish for me was undoubtedly their hummus. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, it's no exaggeration to say that Mystic Grill serves up the best hummus in San Diego. Paired with warm, freshly baked pita bread, it was a match made in food heaven.

The menu here is a treasure trove of Mediterranean delights. From the succulent kebabs to the aromatic shawarma, every dish was a burst of authentic flavor. The quality of ingredients and the skilled preparation really shine through in every bite.

What's even more impressive is the pricing. Despite the exceptional quality of the food, the prices at Mystic Grill are incredibly reasonable, making it an ideal spot for both casual lunches and special dinners.

The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place for a date night or a gathering with friends. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive dining experience.

In a city known for its diverse food scene, the Mystic Grill stands out as a hidden gem offering amazing Mediterranean cuisine, particularly their legendary hummus. If you're looking for a taste of the Mediterranean that won't break the bank, this place should be at the top of your list. Don't miss the opportunity to savor their delectable dishes – you won't be...

I have been driving by this place for years. It was a convergence of severe hunger and convenience along my route that made me stop. I was not disappointed. Well, it was a bit of a wait because the place was very busy, but that is a testament to how good the food was/is.

There was a bunch of young people hanging out socializing. It struck me as though the place was their regular spot, and it was refreshing to see well-behaved young people together. While I was there, two separate catering sized orders were readied and delivered. Which might have added to my wait time, but again, another point for evidence that the food is way above average.

My orders, which were 3 separate entrees, one a sea food grilled salad. The salad was split between myself and my husband, and we were pretty full. My kids had their meals in two sittings. Dishes were well seasoned tasty and piping hot we I received them. 😋

Great place to eat, but don't go when I am going back as I want to get my food sooner...

This is a counter-serve Mediterranean place that doesn't seem to be as popular as it should be. There is ample covered outdoor seating, the menu has extremely large photos, and the staff is alright. Food came out at a good amount of time, although it wasn't busy at all.

I ordered a falafel plate, which isn't exactly on the menu, but they made an accommodation for me. The plate had salad, rice, hummus, pita bread, and falafel. The portion for plate overall is pretty large. The salad dressing was pretty good, along with the hummus. The falafel was almost perfect...it had a nice crisp outside and mainly moist on the inside. The rice could have used a little more flavor, and the pita was a thinner type that is hot pressed.

But I enjoyed this place and the food is...
