Tem's Barbeque

An extremely popular lunch spot for the office workers in west Mira Mesa, Tem's Barbeque serves up some meaty meals for a reasonable price. Located in the half vacant Plaza Sorrento Shopping Center, I would probably never have selected it as a lunch spot if not for my friends' recommendation.

Wanting to try just about everything, I chose to go with the 4 item plate with rice. The choice was difficult but I finally decided on the barbecued chicken and pork, a chicken curry, and a beef curry. Without talking about each individually, they were all extremely tasty. I especially liked the pork, but found that both the barbecued items were a bit too sweet for my taste, but still not too bad. To avoid the inevitable food coma of finishing this massive meal in one sitting, I decided to take half home to enjoy as another meal.

Tem's is definitely a great place to get some good barbeque variety. Whether you're craving chicken, pork, or beef, they will definitely have something that will satisfy your appetite. For less than $10, you can get a pretty hearty meal that you can easily enjoy as leftovers. With its great food and reasonable prices, it is no surprise that Tem's is as popular as it is. If I worked in the local offices, I would definitely make it a regular weekly lunch spot, and recommend it to those who do.
