This is a mega-shopping complex with hundreds of stores to choose from; there is a large cinema multiplex with myriad theaters. My favourite store is Target and their Mission Valley store is a multi-level showpiece. I cant think of anything that cant be found at this Target, except maybe large appliances. Their grocery section is competitive with all low cost supermarket style stores such as Walmart,Food For Less etc. Their selection of organic foods,probiotics and other healthy products are priced at very competive rock bottom prices and their stock surpasses all competitors.(Their sales usually start on Sundays and continue until the following Sat.), however, one can be pleasantly surprised on any day. Their customer service is superb and whenever I shop there I always try to find that special cashier who always tries to make me feel like Im a very valuable person : Over the last few weeks her name has been Dee.(Many of these people work very hard in a city - San Diego - where the cost of living is extreme however, their salaries of $10/hr.to $12hr.is barely enough to survive.).Its a sad story in a county as prolific and wealthy as ours however, such a story is indeed a truism. There is ample parking everywhere and a full service in store Starbucks.Their electronics , childrens toy section , pet supplies section as well as all other areas have most of whatever your heart - or should I say "your pocketbook can afford" - desires. They are centrally located and easy to find off of the I8 freeway; there are ample hotels and motels within the surrounding area and they are two miles from Hazard Center.The San Diego Trolley also links one up with not only Mission Valley, but with Hazard Center, Fashion Valley, Morena Center, Old Town and all points before and beyond inc.(east) Cost Co, IKEA, SDSU - all the way to El Cajon and Santee - and USD (west) clear to the downtown Embarkedero , Gas Lamp Quarter, Convention Centre, The Padres Ballpark and all points south to to Tijuana,Mexico.

Ive had great experiences here, and have been back over the past two years about 4 times. Making an appointment is easy and painless, you can call or do it online, and you can usually get an appointment for the same day! All the staff and doctors are very friendly and accomodating. For example, once I ordered contacts in November and forgot to pick them up until March. They had my old phone number, so I didnt receive any reminder calls. When I went in 4 months later, my contacts were still right there, waiting for me. Another time I went in because my contacts were oddly misshapen when I took them out of their package. I had to throw away 3 contacts. When I went in and told them, they replaced my three ruined contacts without question. The only complaint is sometimes you do have to wait a little bit for your appointment, but its usually not unreasonably long. And, the benefit to that is that if youre running late (like I tend to do) they dont seem annoyed at all, youre still greeted with a smile, and taken in right away. Also, they understand people on a budget and will tell you about the cost of certain things (like dialation) and ask you if you want to do it, instead of just doing it and then billing you after. I have no idea what the three negative reviews below are talking about!

Great stores and restaurants, the parking can sometimes be a pain. Underground parking helps some. Avoid weekends if possible--incredibly busy! Its a bit spread out. For example Macys is a split store, so one store has home and furnishings, and the other has clothing. Also, across the street are stores such as Old Navy, Trader Joes, others, and restaurants that are also considered a part of the mall, but a really bad parking lot with extremely tight spaces--your car doors will most likely get dinged by others. It would be nice if all the stores werent so disjointed because one has to move the car and repark as the other side isnt exactly in close walking distance. Put yourself out on a limb, and if you havent tried it yet, give Tender Greens a chance. Its one of the newer restaurants in the mall, and probably one of the healthier ones.

I read all these reviews and after going to Bridal and Veil I have to say they are by far one of the best Bridal stores in San Diego. I was very unsure what I wanted , and the staff helped me so much with trying to find a style that went with my body. They did not rush me or push me to buy. I also had a date very close, and assured me it would be here on time, and it was! They DID call me when it arrived, and when I went to try it on, it was perfect! The seamstress was awesome! she did exactly what I asked for. I honestly recommend coming to this store if you want your wedding dreams to come true! They have loads of dresses, and I was told whatever they dont have, they can get!

I like the mall itself, lots of shopping! However, I had to use the Family Lounge to breastfeed my 1 month baby and there were 2 guys that work at the mall, one at the food court and another one as security just hanging out watching cartoons. That is the least thing you want went you are trying to breastfeed in private, its meant for familys, unless you are a dad with your kid I understand but just hanging out I dont think is appropiate. Another lady was coming in for the same purpose as me and she saw them and left, common sense. Maybe provide them with a lunch room or some area for them to relax and not to use the family lounge.

Ben was a pleasure to work with while our Explorer was being worked on at this auto body shop. They all treated us like VIPs from the time we dropped off our vehicle to the time we picked up! They worked hand in hand with USAA so we did not have to worry about the $$$. Ben updated us regularly with phone calls and texts were sent giving us status reports when they started, were 50% completed, 90%, and when ready for pick up. Of course, Ben Giles also called with a voice to voice touch as well to ensure we knew exactly where they were at during the quick 5 days it took them to repair our 2005 Ford Explore like new!

There was a certain kiosk that my sister, her best friend and I went up to. Now my sister is mixed so she looks fully Caucasian, so the salesman greets her, takes her hand and asks her if she is a model. Now, my sister is FARRRR from ugly, but I know a typical sales pitch when I see it, or hear it. Anyway, he comments on the fact that we can, in no way be related because Im black - and to which he follows up with a high five to her best friend (whom is also fair-skinned), that "best friends are better than sisters". Thank you for making me feel awful, mall kiosk.10/10. Im never returning to this mall again.

It looks like a big place from the outside but it is not. Ive been to many different shopping centers and would get lost. Id also thought this westfield mall would have alot of stores but it doesnt really its more of a one story and on the bottom was the parking. And when I went down here I was pretty dissapointed on the food court hoping they would have more different variety of restaurants in there but so far nothing really special. Some of the food places in there were closed down which lead me to dissapointment. The stores were the same just as any place would be here
