Friar Tux Shop

Hailey who was the manager at the Friar Tux shop in La Mesa took care of me and she was so professional and did such an outstanding job. The day before the wedding I came in and the jacket was a little tight. She got me a new jacket in a couple hours. Really amazing service and attention to detail. Can’t be happier with the service and professionalism.

Excellent customer service. The quality of it all looked great. I got all my measurements done here and chose out my colors. Danielle was super helpful and knew her stuff!
Then I realized I had to cancel. It sucked because they worked with me for over an hour and here I had to cancel.
But they we’re totally understanding and didn’t charge me anything! Will def come back for my tux and suiting needs!

My son did not want to go with the standard black tux for his school’a formal dance. He had a specific idea in his head and the girl who helped us, Hailey, was so sweet moving things around from different mannequins so he could see what was in his head all came together. She was so sweet, fun and patient! Hailey provided excellent customer service and made our entire experience incredibly enjoyable!
My son’s tux arrived earlier than expected. Checking out was quick and easy and the return process was just as simple! We will never go anywhere else!

The girls at Friar Tux Shop were helpful and fun. They picked out a great tux for my event in which I got many compliments. I would highly recommend this shop for your tux rental needs.

I had a pretty good experience with them. They were quick and efficient in the first fitting and within about 20 minutes I was done. I went to pick up the tuxedo two days before my wedding when I found out they’d ordered the wrong size jacket for me. There was a bit of a scramble and they got me the right one the day before which I was a little irritated about. They also forgot to include cuff links with the suit which wasn’t a huge deal as the day of the wedding I just used the cuff buttons to close the cuffs. Other than those two issues the tuxedo was as expected. To their credit they didn’t hassle me for the return of the cuff links, I fully expected them to raise an issue with it when I told them they hadn’t given me any. So, overall it’s 4 stars from me and a recommendation for future services. I’ll likely return here if I need to rent any other formal attire for an event.

Fine selection of clothes, and multiple members of the staff who assisted me provided outstanding help.

I really like Friar Tux. My husband was in a friend’s wedding in April. That couple asked that he use Friar Tux for the tux rental, and we found that their service was efficient, friendly and reasonably priced. But that is not the only reason why I am giving them five stars.
When our son recently got married, he and the wedding party used Mens Wearhouse for their coordinating tuxedos. Our daughter-​in-​law (the bride) did not want the two fathers and her brother to have to spend money to rent tuxes. She asked that the three of them simply wear black suits and white shirts, with ties the same coral color as the groom and his men were wearing/​renting. So, I went to the MWH at Grossmont figuring that since the rest of the wedding party was already getting their tuxes there, it would be a slam dunk to rent three additional ties from them.
When I got there, I was surprised to learn that they would not rent just ties… they would only rent a «tie and vest» combination… at $ 50 a set! We did not need the vests, and you can buy a pretty nice tie for $ 50! So I shopped around a bit, only to discover that coral is a tough color to locate (and match) in a tie, no matter how much you are willing to spend!
On a hunch, I called the Friar Tux shop at Grossmont Center that is just down and around the corner from MWH to see what they could do. Over the phone they told me that they would be happy to rent me three coral ties that should match the groom’s exactly — at only $ 10 a piece. So I went down there and paid the fee. They were also able to rent me a pair of black dress shoes in a wide size for my husband to wear –for only $ 15.
The color match turned out to be perfect. The pick up was the Thurs before the wedding; and the return was the Mon after. The whole process was very convenient and quick. Using Friar Tux worked out great for us and I would highly recommend them.

Wow La Mesa, Ca the best ever. Saphire was awesome and comforting honest and polite. Loved it very much

Great Service, with an eye for detail in making my tux a perfect fit! Thank you!

Amazing store with amazing customer service! I came in and I immediately felt welcome. Nate definitely found me the right tux for the right price. Friar tux+Nate= #1 store for tuxes in San Diego.

Awesome service! Got my son a suit for homecoming and the process was painless and the suit like was great! Thanks!

First, I haven’t rented a tux in a long time so I didn’t have any expectations. The La Mesa staff was absolutely fantastic. They made the fitting easy and hassle free. Everything was perfect with the tux and the return process was a breeze! I would highly recommend Friar Tux Shop, period! Even the Chula Vista staff was great! I will be calling for my next tux rental needs and if I ever decide to purchase a tuxedo, I’ll come to Friar Tux Shop first! Thank you for the awesome experience and kudos to an awesome staff!

This location is the worst in terms of time and service, it took nearly 1 hour to get my dad fitted, 1 person! We just wanted to be in and out. They gave my dad the pants, the dress shirt and the shoes and they left him waiting there for 30 mins before somebody could fully measure everything… We should have went to another location…

I showed up five minutes before they were about to close and the 3 ladies there were super nice and helped me out in a pinch. You see, I needed some last minute accessories for my Dapper Day outfit at Disneyland. A different men’s clothing store down the street, a warehouse for men’s, was rude, not helpful and basically kicked me out. Friar Tux went above an beyond to help me get what I needed. The three ladies were super nice and friendly and made it easy to get what I needed. They also had better fashion sense than me, so that was gladly welcomed. Thanks Friar Tux! Here’s me all dressed up:

Helpful employees who work quickly and get you looking nice in a jiffy.
I hated Men’s Wearhouse before coming here, but now, having experienced Friar Tux firsthand, the comparison is laughable. Men’s Wearhouse is the New Jersey to Friar Tux’s New York.
What else can I say? You’ll be happy you came here.

A first class staff who had enough know how to assist a first timer who was getting married in 6 days. I looked great, my fathers and brother looked great, and it was quick easy and painless. I’ll be back and I’ll send all those in need of tuxedos to friar tux. Caring and professional operation. Oh and no rush fee! Oh and they honor military discount. Oh and you get a walk in discount. Go here. Trust me.

After a disappointing and frustrating experience with Men’s Wearhouse, my fiancé and I stopped at Friar Tux to see what options were available. When we first went in, they were remodeling the shop and the walls were completely empty, but we still received first class customer service. They had easily three times the options as MW, even while under construction.
Hailey asked questions and really tried to get a feeling for what we were looking for instead of just treating us like another number. She was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. When we found out she was the manager it was no surprise; she answered some questions we didn’t even know we had instead of giving us basic info.
She got us set up with exactly what we wanted, and even took off a few of the extras since we are incorporating some custom elements. The whole experience was relaxed and fun, and we felt that our time spent there was valued. Friar Tux (Hailey) earned a customer for life with us and we’ll certainly be bringing more business to their door!

At the last minute decided I wanted a nice suit for dinner at Truluck’s that same night. Checked out Unilocal reviews and saw Friar Tux was pretty well-​rated both in value and service (compared to the local competition which shall remain nameless).
Went in, just a short wait and Danielle had me measured, hemmed, and suited up, within the hour. All from clothes they had in-​house. And she beat the Unilocal 30% ‘check-​in’ discount. Mahalo Friar Tux.

Went to get a Tuxedo for a wedding. The payment process and fitting process were extremely hassle-​free. Janelle is as angel and for my first Tux rental in years, made the entire experience smooth and ironed out the awkwardness.
They did have a problem ordering the correct color for our vests, however. And because of their policy that puts the pick-​up date so close to the event (a strategy to keep the clothes in circulation as much as possible), there was a bit of a scare close to the wedding regarding the correct clothes for the bridal party.
Other than that snaffu, I would rent from here again. The price isn’t too bad and the space looks and smells like a fancy department store attachment. Parking is sometimes an issue because the lots are placed awkwardly.

We went to Friar Tux for suits for our entire wedding party including mine (the groom) in July 2014 and had a great experience. We started out at Men’s Warehouse and it just seemed like we were another number so we ended up heading over to Friar’s right down the road and I’m glad we did. They were really accommodating the entire time. One night they even stayed late for us after closing. Haley was our rep and took great care of us and so did the rest of the staff.
We really liked that they had a rent or buy option. We ended up buying our suits because the difference in price wasn’t very much plus I was able to put mine to use again. I’m pretty sure if at least five of your groomsmen rent or buy from them, the groom’s tux is free. Highly recommend them.
One suggestion, try to avoid wkends. They can get pretty packed. Week day mornings is best time to drop in.
