I always try to frame San Diego reviews as one that a visitor would read and make a decision based on what a local says.
But I'm almost hesitant to say anything about Mishmash. As in, I'd want to not check in, not say I've been here, and quietly hope no one from out of town hears about this place.
Why?
Because they're good. They're San Diego good. They're so San Diego good, that you almost want them to be local's only. But that's not probably fair.
It's a local spot, good, filling food. The appearance down plays how good the food is, as in, you're not gonna expect the taste you get. They've got a variety of burgers, fries and from the looks of the menu, they keep a rotation of items to keep you coming back.
The staff, despite covid rules, are friendly and fast. The place is almost stylish like some places you'd see downtown, but it's really just got it's own vibe.
The location is just out of the way enough that visitors would likely never wander by. I've been through here and barely noticed it. It's now a favorite for big meals and fries. It's bound to be, if not, it already is, a local spot that's a favorite with - us locals.
