La Mesa Alteration & Dry Cleaning

Easy peasies, and cheap! Super cool, kind, honest, hard working, sweet Vietnamese couple. She kept telling me how cute I am. Charged me at least HALF the price compare prices elsewhere. Hemming dresses $ 8 whereas all others quoted (today) were either $ 18 (balboa cleaners) or $ 23 (Nick’s)! Bring cash and expect to deposit 50% of Bill. He even did extra little fixes for free, whereas elsewhere quoted $ 5 – 6! I love VN alteration folks, always below/​fair price vs other nationalities, just pointing out the obvious here. If it’s wedding dresses, I recommend a place more expensive if u think you’ll get ur money’s worth. But for basic alterations, here will do :)
3 dresses, 6 days turn around time.

They were great, i took in a dress to be altered and even though it was tough fix she was able to accommodate my request and it looks good!

I’ve been coming here sporadically for years. I’ve never had any issues with clothes not being clean or my tailoring jobs. I have had them tailor pants for me. For an additional cost, they will use the original hem on the pants instead of the standard one. Even with the additional cost, it is likely cheaper than their competitors.
The only thing I didn’t really like here was when I brought them a jacket with a broken zipper and they replaced the zipper with one that didn’t match the jacket. I didn’t request the same color zipper, so not sure if that’s something that can be done in the future.
The people here are older Vietnamese people, so there is a language barrier to consider. However, it’s not that bad. The old man drew a picture of my most recent request to make sure that he understood me correctly.

I’ve been going here for years! Ever since I moved to San Diego. They have gotten better in speaking English. But they’re really nice and they do a good job for affordable price. I still go here even though I live far from Linda Vista. The tailors in my area charge double their price. I’ve got my clothes dry cleaned here. I’ve got my jeans hemmed here. They also patiently fixed my dress that was big on top. The guy told me it took him a while to fix it because it was 3 layers. I should’ve tipped him. I’ll do that the next time I go there. I highly recommend this place.

I had a pair of denim jeans shortened by La Mesa. The tailor did a great job, the price was excellent ($ 6), and it was done in a couple of days. I would give 5 stars except that I only had one alteration done. But I will be back with more items to alter/​repair.

I’ve been going here for years! It’s probably close to 10 years. I always get all of my jeans hemmed here. If you want a regular hem, it’s $ 6. It’s $ 12 if you want to hem your jeans and keep the original hem. I usually keep the original hem. I can’t believe some places charge $ 20 or higher to keep the original hem!
I’ve recommended a lot of friends here and they really love this place. The tailors here are nice, and very skillful. It’s located right next to Bank Of America on Ulric St.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my alterations!

This is where I take all my clothes to alter and for dry cleaning. I love this shop. They treat me so nice and the services is amazing! I am very particular about my clothing and this place does a great job with my alteration. You can not beat the price here. $ 6 to hem your pant. The people are really sweet. ONLY problem is a bit of the language barrier but they tried. This is the only place I taken my clothes to that I can trust. I’ve been to many places and this is the ONE!

The day of a wedding we were suppose to attend, my boyfriend decides to buy a new suit to wear — and good thing, this old was wasn’t that great.
JC Penney sent us to this place to get his pants hemmed. Super quick — we went to get street tacos a block down and when we returned, it was done! From what I remember, the price wasn’t that bad either… especially for working so quickly.
