Nice little plaza to grab a variety of food to pick from and run. The buildings just need a little upgrade with the paint
Iron Plumbing (Javier Lopez) Mar 19, 2026First time here for a coffee business meeting at the Starbucks. Easy access, parking was good, found a space easily. Getting back to Via Rancho Parkway, you're supposed to go out, make a right and do a U-turn as the sign says no left turn. People do this anyway I noticed as I was sitting in line waiting to exit the parking lot.
Mary Faith Mar 06, 2026After our Retrouvaille talk, we headed to the McD's and ordered a quick snack and it was quick. We arrived after the lunch rush and before the dinner crowd. It is a small cozy place. No wonder the reviews say its busy busy busy during high peak hours. We arrived at low valley hours! We are satisfied with the service and the time we received our food. Ideally, the people are best served when people are not in such a great hurry. Oh well, real time clashes with real impatience. I am guilty of that and recovery is fast when I accept a better attitude. In general, servers are doing their best in less than the best situation! God bless you all and stay joyfully safe in this world of fast fast fast!
Marilou Hobrock Mar 06, 2026I rated this Shopping Center about a year ago and it gained one more star because the guy at the convenience store next to the filling station had a restroom and he was open 24/7 so the other restaurants or either closed or expensive and I was able to buy a snack and something to drink and use the bathroom. I take long trips away from home sometimes and it's nice to have a place to use the bathroom where there are people around and I can feel safe especially late at night. I wish I knew the name of the store I looked on the map and I can't find the name of it but it's right next to the gas station at the very end of the mall towards the South side.
CarolTurquoisE E Mar 04, 2026A variety of excellent eateries make this strip mall a neighborhood gem. My optometrist is here too. The parking lot was not lit at night, so I deducted one star. By the way, BJ's is not here; it's across the freeway at the North County mall. Update to my previous review: The parking lot has been lit at night, so I'm adding the 5th star.
Dean Kelley Feb 19, 2026Oh my goodness! Super delicious. We stopped by for lunch after a whale watching cruise and were hungry. Everything we had was delicious!!! We wish we had ordered more!!!
Michelle Morales Jan 17, 2026Invita was a great place for a quick, clean hot tea and delish croissant and egg breakfast sandwich.
K Dec 03, 2025Starbucks mobile pick up-parking lot is pretty small but there's a lot of turnover so I always end up getting a spot. Convenient spot right off the 15 carpool lane and next to the mall. Can't take a left out of the lot during peak traffic times (look for the sign when exiting).
