My absolute favorite place to get banh mi in Mira Mesa. They also have unique and fun menu items like banh mi tacos, banh mi burritos, and loaded fries. Every time I go I'm reminded how much I love this place :')
Some of my favorites / highlights are:
- Boulevard Fries (5/5!!): Basically a banh mi on top of fries. These fries are heavenly and worth all the calories!! You choose the protein (longanisa, bbq pork, chicken, lemongrass ribeye) and there's cheese, pickled carrots and daikon, and spicy mayo on top. The fries are so crispy and they're very generous the amount of toppings. I get the smaller size but they pack it with so much that it's enough to share between two people if you're also getting banh mi. I would go here just for these fries. These fries are my guilty please pls pls try them!
- Banh Mi Tacos (5/5): The banh mi tacos are so yummy and a great twist on a traditional banh mi. You can choose from bbq pork, chicken, longanisa, and lemongrass ribeye. It's topped with spicy mayo and picketed carrots and daikon. I've tried the bbq pork and longanisa tacos and both are delicious. All the components work so well together- perfect balance of slightly sweet, savory, and slightly spicy from the spicy mayo. I highly recommend trying the banh mi tacos if you want something different and unique.
- BBQ Pork Banh Mi (5/5): My go-to banh mi here. A delicious and very solid banh mi. The bbq pork is well seasoned, flavorful, and is slightly sweet which I love. Baguette is nice and fresh.
Prices have definitely gone up with COVID, but I don't mind since the food is delicious and ingredients are high quality and fresh. Plus it's great to support your local small businesses!
No indoor seating but there is outdoor seating. You order inside and wait outside where they'll bring your order to you. I like to call ahead of time so that my order is ready when I get there. Service is great and lots of parking available.
If you're in the area then definitely try this place, especially the fries!
