Restaurants near Camp Pendleton South

“Camp Pendleton location, food is inconsistent and orders are usually wrong. service is not good and "management" is really bad. treat our military better!!”

“We come here at least once a week and it’s always pretty good, some days fries can be cold. Anyways, I had an issue with an order and it was fixed. Cindy the manager was sweet and apologized, and made everything right. She knows what she is doing, and made me feel comfortable talking to her. She got down to the bottom of the problem and made sure to talk to the team members about the issue.”

“Don’t skip this spot.

This tucked-away gem delivered one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the kind of place that immediately puts you at ease. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. Their cocktails are refreshing and creative, fun twists on familiar drinks that really hit the spot.

The food is outstanding, both in presentation and flavor. We sampled about half the menu and there wasn’t a single disappointing bite. Do yourself a favor and order a bunch of plates to share. Every dish is worth trying, skipping anything feels like a missed opportunity.
What really impressed me was the price. For the quality of the food, it’s astonishingly reasonable. I’ve spent more on far worse meals and enjoyed select Michelin-starred places less than this one.

Don’t rush. Take your time, order lots, and try everything. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely Michelin star dining. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Thank you for making our 25th anniversary a memorable experience!”

“Absolutely loved our meal at Lilo. The tasting menu was creative, beautifully plated, and full of thoughtful little details. Each course felt distinct, and the balance of textures and flavors kept the meal interesting from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive without feeling overly formal.

The only minor miss was the chawanmushi, which was a touch salty for our taste, but everything else was excellent. A memorable experience and definitely somewhere I’d return to.”

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.”

“The gelato and coffee were delicious; the atmosphere lovely; but especially the service was amazing. The servers behind the counter were so kind and patient, clearly wanting their patrons to be taken care of”

“Had the salmon and it was delicious. Good clean atmosphere and hospitable, attentive staff.”

“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.”

“So fun and delicious- what a great place! The vegi cauliflower burger was “the bomb”. Food and service - aka: David and his recommendations- were exceptional!!”

“Delicious, comfortable spot.”

“Amazing!! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but this place is the best. Everything is made fresh. The beans are awesome. I had the Pastor Burrito, it was so good. The meat was so tasty. Drinks was delicious too!! Can't wait to go back!”

“The chicken kabob is amazing!”

“I love how this small , family-owned business is located conveniently on Mission Ave. Great service and they have some pastries & vegan sweets too. They’ve got a nice seating that allows for people-watching and most importantly, they support other small bakeries & businesses by carrying their goods. It’s a win-win and I love that for our community.”

“Food was great and came out fast. We had a party with kids and Sandra was so helpful and so patient! Will definitely be back and will definitely be back and will ask for Sandra by name ❤️.”

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food”

“excellent drinks & food.”

“Love the pizza. The ingredients were good as well! :)”

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.”

“Great place. Great staff, adorable building, good food. If you don’t like the smell of smoke, though, make sure that you’re not going too far into the evening. They have a fire pit going out in front of the restaurant and keep the doors open so the whole restaurant filled with smoke last night.”
