Dr Boochart 105 E Grand Ave, Escondido Bar • $$

“Family owned! Great speakeasy vibe with lots of cool steampunk designs. You can even buy your own steampunk glasses and hats here! They mostly serve just alcoholic kombucha and 1 rotating local beer on tap, and like 2 non-alcoholic kombuchas. All of their kombucha is good with unique flavor profiles for each type. I love all their lemonade versions - tastes like actual lemonade to me, and they use cool fruits in their kombucha like dragonfruit! If you like it, they sell bottles, and can also bottle one for you then snd there. They usually have live music Friday and Saturday and events throughout the week. The vibe is definitely worth coming in and having a drink.”

“Craft & Taco is a small, family-owned restaurant in Escondido, CA. If you're into fancy places, this restaurant may not be for you; but if you're into great service, great food, and getting your money's worth, then I highly recommended this pleasant surprise in the heart of Escondido. This restaurant accommodates vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters. There is a vegan/vegetarian menu, and anything vegetarian can also be made vegan. Generous sized tacos are served on homemade tortillas. (I prefer the flour). The average person will need 2 tacos to get full and 3 to get stuffed. Spicy and delicious green and red salsas are offered. (My favorite is the flavorful, smoky, red salsa, but I may choose the green salsa depending on the taco). I am a vegan who used to be vegetarian. I have tried most of their vegetarian and vegan menu items. Below is my review. My favorite vegan taco, and favorite taco overall, is the buffalo zucchini taco. This taco is topped with vegan ranch and buffalo sauce, so I do not recommend adding any salsa. A large piece of perfectly breaded zucchini, the star of the show, is accompanied by spiraled carrots, sliced celery, spring mix, and other fresh veggies. My second favorite vegan taco is the avotaco made vegan. Because this taco does not contain cheese, the only vegan substitute that is the aioli. I recommend the green salsa and substituting the corn tortilla for flour. This taco comes with a large slices of avocado tempura style and fresh veggies. MY favorite vegetarian taco, and my former favorite taco overall, is the chile relleno. If you love cheese, you will be thrilled with the explosion of cheese stuffed inside a breaded chile, accompanied by spring mix and other fresh veggies. The red salsa is amazing with this taco. I have tried the vegan version of this taco, and while still good, I am not the biggest fan of vegan cheeses and usually avoid them. My second favorite vegetarian taco would have to be the avotaco mentioned above or the portobellini, which is full of cheesy mushroom goodness. This taco pairs well with the red salsa. I have not tried it vegan style, as again, I am not a fan of vegan cheeses. Other items I love: elote Other items that were okay: Chapis rolls, soyviche, beans Other items that I do not love: vegan pastor, french fries”

“This place is absolutely phenomenal!! Trent, the manager, makes this the place you want to be for any evening or weekend. To start, everyone who works there treats you like family! They are so kind and welcoming and treat you like a regular the second you walk in. On top of that they have 20+ TVs playing anything you want! If you are looking for a great sports bar and restaurant, Tony Pepperonis has you covered. They have super good food whether it be takeout, game day, or a huge party, and even better, the best beer selection in all of north county. This place gets 5 stars in my book.”

“Great smoothie bowls! I love how customizable and loaded they are. Definitely add mango and papaya if you're a fan since I rarely see smoothie bowl places offer those as toppings.

Minus one star because both the acai and pitaya bases had a little iciness to them, which I didn't love. Also, the vegan options definitely could've been more clearly marked. It might be easier to just mark which options are not vegan, actually, since I think almost everything on the smoothie bowl menu is vegan anyway?”

I didn’t expect to go there and wait for an hour outside the ramen shop…. That plaza has no interesting shops to hang out, so it’s quite boring and cold in November. Btw it’s a Saturday night. We have only 2 people, but we waited 1 hour….

I wish they can adopt some waitlist system, so we can get on the waitlist before we drive there.”

Grand Pizzeria 336 E Grand Ave, Escondido Pizza • $$

“We’ve attended a few comedy shows here and they are really good! The pricing is great and pro tip, I definitely recommend getting on the mailing list via email because there’s even better pricing available for tickets through that. Also, seating front and center is best so definitely get there when the doors open for that. The pizza was amazing the first two times we went to the comedy show but then they changed the format to improve service for the shows and the quantity seems less and there’s no longer an option to customize your pizza. We ordered a gluten free crust to try and get around that but it was burnt and they were totally cool and took it off the bill. Finally, we wanted to order a pizza for lunch today and the hours say they’re open but they were closed for lunch. All in all I will definitely keep going back to enjoy the quality comedians they book at the Comedy Club and will keep trying to get that perfect pizza again through the pizzeria.”
