Fantastic bead selection! The best in SD for gemstones ect.... I also love the pre-made jewelry! It is SO CHEAP it is unbelievable! They always have sales, you NEED to join their mailing list if you are going to shop here!
Also as you walk around shopping they give you things like chocolates and lotto tickets! How great is that?
Now why didn't I give them 5 stars? Well they actually kinda suck for jewelry findings. I need simple things like clasps in bulk size packaging, or glue-on bails, ect. General Bead in South SD is much better for that kind of stuff.

Great art store!
They have lots of great supplies that you just can't find at places like Michaels or Aaron Bros! Also their prices are not too bad either, while I totally support shopping local, let's face it, sometimes the internet is just a heck of a lot cheaper! But I have done a lot of comparison shopping, and for the supplies I needed, this place was right on par with internet prices. They also have a savings club, it is free for students or teacher, I think it costs a little for everyone else. It gets you 10$\% off and they sometimes send you coupons!

Alpine Stained Glass and Door
Neighborhood: Rolando
I am a fused glass artist so I came here for glass fusing supplies to make jewelry with. The sales people weren't very helpful when I finally did find someone to cut glass for me, they failed to mention that on top of the price you pay for the materials, there is a glass cutting fee! They didn't tell me this until I was at the register paying and then it seemed kinda late to do anything! Well now I just don't shop here! After the fact I have been told by some other artists that glass cutting fees are not all that unusual, but I normally go to Blue Dolphin Glass on El Cajon Blvd and they don't have anything like that! (there is also a cute one in National City, but I can't remember the name!)
This store has totally cute clothing, if only they fit real people! I wear a size large at Forever 21, so I figured I'd be a large here because they look kinda the same from the outside, WRONG! These clothes are TINY! It's crazy!!! My friend who is a toothpick could only barely squeeze into a large! And they even sell extra-small here! I am not sure who would fit an XS here, but whoever you are stop what you are doing right now and go eat some cake!

Mexican
Neighborhood: Mira Mesa
There are a lot of big NAME Mexican places in Mira Mesa (Sombreo's, Santana's, El Cotixan, ect...) so this little guy ha sa lot to live up to, but he does it pretty well!
One thing I really love is the surf and turf fries! It is like carne asada fries, but it has shrimp, steak, a white sauce, cheese and guac, YUM! I also enjoy their shrimp burritos and their super nachos!
The only downside is no drive thru, so I actually have to get out of my car, boo hoo, lol

Spices Thai Cafe
Category:
Thai
Neighborhood: Mira Mesa
I am not really a big fan of this one......the dishes are kinda expensive, like $12-14 and I don't even like them that much. The food was kinda bland, the peanut sauce was good I guess, but the pad thai was meh. Amarin Thai is in the same parking lot, is way cheaper (like $8-ish) and I like it better, it doesn't have the ambiance, but I am cheap and that is just fine with me....
Everybody I know raves about Tea Station, but frankly I have never understood the hype....it is not gross or anything, but I have had way better. While boba can be good sometimes I also like to have lychee or coconut jelly from time to time and they don't carry any jellies :(
I prefer bobalicious down the street!

China Max
Category:
Chinese
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa
For a place with a name that sounds as stupid as "China Max" this place has some pretty decent authentic Chinese food! They have everything from tripe to those american classics like chow mein, ect... (although my favorite is the Chow Fun, yumm!)
I also like how they have a Dim Sum menu! Sometimes when I go to a cart-style Dim Sum place like Jasmine's or Emerald I get a little carried away! When I am calmly looking at a menu I can get exactly what I want without over ordering! My friends and I will split a huge order of chow fun and then get some Dim Sum! Yum!
They also have an upstairs for private parties, my work had a dinner there once, it was super nice! The lotus root was also supper yum!

My FAVORITE sushi place in SD!!! The crunchy roll is AWESOME!!
Not only does the food taste FANTASTIC, but the prices are also really great! it's only like $5 for a lot of the rolls! And they have small plates, which are smaller portions of the entrees, it is nice cuz then you can try a variety of food!

Fire polish Beads. They have a huge selection of these beads. They look like crystal, but they are really inexpensive. They start at $2.00 per 25 beads, not bad for that price!
They have Preciosa Crystal, it's a better price than Swarovski, but it's also a similar quality, so you can get more bang for your buck!
They have: Crafty Chica, Delica Beads (200+ colors), Fabrics
PLASTIC BEADS, they have lots and lots of different colors of the plastic beads. Whoa!!! I haven't seen this selection ever!!!
I'm really happy with their selection and definitely will be back!
