Found Cheesy Express by chance the other day. Was excited to eat at a place with an entire menu of grilled cheese options. The owner got slammed with a huge group of customers and handled it like a champ. He did such a good job getting us our delicious food in a timely manner. He then gave my son a milkshake after he solved a math problem. His personality can't be beat and the food was great!! Thanks cheesy express we will definitely be back when we are in the area and will recommend you to our friends�
Oh my heaven!!! We ordered the chili cheese melt, fancy pbj and custom Nutella, fresh strawberries and banana...and it was all sooooo amazing. The owner was soooo personable and funny. This is a must eat at while in Mission Beach.
This place is so Amazing. The Chili cheese fries there are great. However, there best meal thgat we had was there #1 combo meal.. Omg !! It is my favorite spot.....
This place is amazing! Mac, the owner was so nice and interactive with us. He was funny and so good with my kids. Not too mention the food was amazing and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be visiting this place again!
Super friendly & had a mega menu with diverse options - from regular grilled cheese to a western style to an Asian style to dessert flavors! YUM!!!
Visiting from iowa! Saw the sign and knew we had to try this place!!! Did not disappoint..... the bacon mac and cheese was soooo good! I had the JD and could not eat it all, my husband had the pulled pork mac and cheese and ate every crum!! Will definitely be back before we go home!
Had the zuckerman crunch. It was awesome! Wife had bbq and Mac. This too was awesome! Had a great time here. Would definitely recommend this place!!
I'm from AZ and I've been to the Mission Beach area a couple times over the years and I've wanted to try Cheesy Express but never could until Sunday. Grilled Cheese restaurant sounds too good to be true but it was worth every penny! Delicious grilled cheeses and shakes. I highly, HIGHLY recommend going here!
Just tried my first grilled cheese, it was out of this world! My fancy P & B melt was the perfect way to finish of my meal. Outstanding, I highly recommend it!
We are visiting from out of town and stopped in for dinner and had a great experience. The sandwiches were amazing and the staff was fun! Thanks for a great meal!
We will come back when in San Diego. My son and I stopped for lunch and enjoyed our sandwiches. The gentleman working was friendly and quick though he was the only one working.
It's the cheesiest! I had the BBQ n Mac and the wife had the JD (items 1 and 4) and it was incredibly delicious; flavor and portions reflect price paid. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great place for date night or taking your family before or after you visit the beach. Less than a block from Belmont Park, I suggest you just park your car at or near Belmont and walk; preferably on the north side of Belmont if you can.
Good service and good fresh ingredients. Nothing better than a good gourmet grilled cheese sandwich:)👍🏾
Food was delicious! Definitely must try it, we will make another stop before going home to Colorado! Service was great!
I tried this place as a tourist years back and now that I finally live here I still return! I make sure to take all my visitors here when we go to Belmont Park. I went the other day and it seems they were more understaffed (1 lady running the joint) but our food still came out in under 10 minutes. You can also order ahead and go explore all the nearby shops while you wait! There is free parking a 3-5 minute walk away (or street parking if you are lucky enough). Extremely generous portions! I’ll usually get two smaller lunches out of mine. My friend moved down the road from this joint and she said it’s her new hangover spot😆 Doesn’t seem very well known but that is good for us locals! I will say…I sincerely hope they start serving a Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese!!!! BUT I will be back regardless and hope they stay in business thru these crazy times!

We ordered the s'mores and the fancy P&B, was not disappointed. They both were fantastic. Sweet and delicious they were exactly what we were looking for. The chef was super nice and so was the cashier. It's a great location just off the beach so it would be easy to get a treat or some lunch/dinner and head to watch the waves. We got plenty of napkins and even a couple of forks in case we needed them.
Grilled to perfection! Such a hidden gem. We ordered French fries, the mom's classic which was basic grilled cheese and a make your own with cheddar, spinach, tomatoes, avocado and spicy mayo. I also ordered the tomato soup but was slightly disappointed in the taste and consistency. It was very thin and had an interesting kick of spice. The manager was pleasant and accommoating. Great place for a quick bite.
The food was amazing! The guy that worked there was running the entire show and was STILL able to get my food to me in decent time. I ordered a chipotle chicken grilled cheese and it was perfect. It was fresh, the bread was crispy and hot, there were just the right amount of toppings on it and it tasted great! The fries had been sitting for a while and were not fresh, but since he was a one man show, it was understandable. They were the good kind that I know will be good if heated and fresh. I bought some lumpia also. I am a huge fan of lumpia. Although their lumpia and sauce were not my favorite, I was pleased that it was an option on the menu, reasonably priced and fried fresh. I will definitely visit again next time I am in the Mission Beach area!
The owner is awesome and friendly, down to earth! The food is amazing I ate my fries before I took my pictures but you will just have to come down here and try it out =)
Awesome concept. Awesome execution. The kids immediately exclaimed that the fries were the best they had ever had. The menu is a kids dream, and mine too. The owner is a nice guy and a force of nature. Not many people can pull off something like this in such a tough business environment as California. But then, where else could something this unique ever happen?
They were really busy when we stopped in and they did a great job of keeping up. Great customer service. It was obvious that everyone was a tourist, but they took the time to ask us about our trip and made sure we were satisfied. The food was served relatively fast and it was better than expected. Good place. I’ll stop again if I’m in the area.
Amazingly tasty food at a really good value! I was pretty full by the time I left this place! Eat here if you want to avoid all of the overpriced food AND walk away satisfied!
My rating is for the food.
I really like the concept of this location. Who doesn't love grilled cheese sandwiches. My group all ordered a different sandwich and they were all good. The fries were also good.
The ordering experience needs help. I'm hoping that my experience is an isolated incident. There was only 1 person running the place. Taking orders and making the food. To order we had to wait for him to finish his previous order (15min). Once we placed our order it was another 15-20 min wait.
Custom sandwich came out great (spinach, jalapeno, sundried tomato, and provolone on sourdough). Friendly staff, too!

I am so happy I live nearby! The chipotle chicken w avocado grilled cheese was amazing! And it came with CHEDDAR RANCH SAUCE. I can’t wait to come back to try the DESSERT MELTS!!
Great experience overall. The food was great. I will keep coming back, unless their standard or quality lowers.
Wonderful place, lively vibes, great food (can't go wrong with anything on the menu). Come ready to belt some 80s pop!!!
This is grilled cheese on a new level. The service is amazing and the food is so good. The tomato soup is so good you want to drink it.
Great sandwich 🥪 😋. I chose to build my own. My daughter bragged about the food and it was worth coming from Tacoma Washington to try it. I highly recommend eating here.
