Best Restaurants with Great Beer in College Area

This was my first time to this location in Mission Valley. Love it! The servers were outstanding (thank you Ken) and the food was great. Recommend the Thai Shrimp salad, the pumpkin donuts, and white pizza.We sat outside and the tables were spacious and not cramped at all. They had shade sails which reduced the sun exposure. Parking is a little challengin but they have a valet if you prefer to avoid waiting for a spot. Will definitely we back again.

Rivera Steakhouse is a fantastic spot for premium cuts of steak, expertly prepared to perfection. With a warm ambiance, attentive service, and a diverse menu featuring fresh sides and fine wines, it’s ideal for a special occasion or a sophisticated night out. Don’t miss their signature sauces and desserts!

We had a reservation which helped. We were seated outside and it turned out to he ok with the heat lamps Oddly they were out of a some drinks - no sprite, could not make a Paloma. But waiter helped us out and comped a drink to ease the disappointment. Food was great. Beer great as always. Waiter excellent and friendly despite it being so busy.

I am so glad we had reservations. That pizookie deal sure brings out all the highschool kids. Our server was a plus. She was excellent and made our night!

Ordered several pizza’s and a few different types of draft beers by the pitcher for a celebration of life. Every thing was delicious and the crew was helpful.
