Solid fast food fried chicken; I would say better than KFC and maybe on par with Popeyes - but this is all subjective. I had a $5 off coupon for signing up for their rewards program and got the 6 piece chickenjoy bucket for $16.99 (as of March 2025). I think their regular price is quite pricey for just 6 pieces, but I only paid $12-13 with my coupon. Chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. It comes with a generous portion of gravy to dip your chicken in. Ketchup is available upon request but other sauces like bbq are extra charge. Parking lot available. Restrooms require a code.

Haven't been here in decades but my son asked to try it...OMG! The original fried chicken was hot, fresh, tasty and filling! Add the gravy and it was amazing. Biscuits were the best I've ever had...crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and seasoned perfectly! Dipped that in the gravy too. Prices were higher than expected...$15 for a premium combo with 2 sides and a soda. Super fast service...barely sat down and our food was ready. Crazy busy on a Saturday night just like In & Out with the drive thru 20 deep and the inside packed. Will definitely be back.

I love this place Customer service is best!!!! Everyone is very polite. Respectful. Bathroom is clean. Gravy sauce made me thirsty too much lol But love their service.

It's midweek, I just got off work and I'm hangry. My quick solution is grabbing some Filipino fried chicken and the spaghetti. The drive thru is very efficient and I was able to pickup a bucket of spicy fried chicken and family size spaghetti quickly. I like that they only serve dark meat because I find white meat dreadful...l'm exaggerating of course, but you get my point. Pro-tip: check online for coupons as they periodically have deals and promotions, plus you can order conveniently on the app.

Jollibee, the iconic Filipino franchise, is a global sensation and one of the most beloved fried chicken chains in the U.S. Conveniently located in the heart of Mira Mesa, it's the only Jollibee spot in San Diego, making it a go-to destination for both locals and fans of Filipino cuisine. What We Tried Aloha Chicken Sandwich: A true standout. The combination of juicy fried chicken breast, grilled pineapple, crispy bacon, and melted cheese is divine. The sweet and savory flavors are perfectly balanced. Chickenjoy with Gravy: Their signature fried chicken is crispy, flavorful, and incredibly juicy. The special Chickenjoy gravy is a game-changer--rich and savory, it's perfect for dipping both the chicken and fries. $11 Meal Deal: This combo is amazing value! It includes 2 pieces of their famous fried chicken, one side (your choice), a Ube or Peach Mango Pie, a drink, and a buttery biscuit. Perfect for those who want to try a little bit of everything. Ube Pie: A dessert you can't miss! The crispy, golden crust is filled with real ube (purple yam) at the perfect sweetness level. It's a unique and satisfying treat. Additional Notes Wait Time: Due to its popularity, especially as the only Jollibee in San Diego, the location can get quite busy during weekends and meal times. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, so plan accordingly. Atmosphere: The lively and vibrant environment adds to the charm of the dining experience. Thestore has the outside dining area which might result as pet-friendly to dine-in with the dogs. At the meanwhile, the drive-thru services are available. They have extended their business hours from 9am to 11pm at Friday to Sunday. (If one comes early at 9 am, many foods options might not be available like tenders and gravy sauce as ones have to wait for extra time until the food are ready. Jollibee in Mira Mesa delivers on its reputation with bold flavors, hearty portions, and comforting dishes. Whether you're craving fried chicken, a satisfying meal deal, or a taste of the Philippines, this spot is well worth the visit!

What can I say, if you're feeling some tasty fried chicken and pancit palabok on top of their spaghetti then you gotta hit up Jollibee.

UGH! Forever disappointed there is only one Jollibee in SD and it's suuuuper out of the way for me. However, where there's a will there's a way, and I will ALWAYS swing by when an errand brings me that way (you see what I did there XD) I did drive through and got the two piece spicy chickenjoy with palabok. Service was a bit slow but they were clearly really busy in the restaurant. Thankfully there weren't many cars ahead of me. I had hoped to snag an ube pie but was informed that they no longer carried it. Sad! My drive home was agonizing, as the warm, heavenly chicken scent permeated my car while I wove my way through traffic. Once I got home, I wasted no time tearing into my bag full of oily, flavorful goodness. Though the chicken was not perfectly crispy after accompanying me through rush hour traffic, it's thin breading and flavorful seasoning more than made up for it. I will say it's never that spicy though! The palabok was also delicious, with sweet savory meat sauce and soft vermicelli. Though it was a bit greasy, I couldn't help but shovel it into my mouth in between gravy-laden bites of chicken. I then had the Genius idea to mix gravy into the palabok which added a whole new layer of flavor. Incredible! Overall, Jollibee is one of my favorite fast food joints, and one of the few that I will go out of my way to eat. I hope to catch the ube pie next time they have it in stock!
