Popular Filipino Chain Jollibee Sets Opening Date in Mira Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Returning to Mira Mesa, I learned the world’s fastest-growing Asian restaurant company has broken ground on a large, modern, 3,200-square-foot Jollibee in San Diego that will include an outdoor patio and a drive-thru window and was planned to be open by December 2019. Founded in 1978 in the Philippines and now operating more than 1,300 stores worldwide, the chain is known for its chef hat–wearing bee mascot and as the “Home of Chickenjoy” for its signature buckets of fried chicken; its menu also highlights Palabok Fiesta noodles, Jolly Spaghetti with banana ketchup–sweetened sauce (plus ham, ground meat, and hot dogs), Filipino breakfast meals, and desserts ranging from Halo-Halo to Peach Mango Pie." - Candice Woo
