Restaurants in Escondido

“Great food and Service. They are always busy, especially on Sunday's. But, I've never had to wait to be seated and My food was always hot and tasty ? I'd definitely recommend this place, especially for breakfast!”
“In a region with a booming winery scene, Speckle Rock is a step above the rest. We've been there a number of times now and always enjoy the view, the wine, and the live music. They're very laid-back about reserving tables for any size party if you call in advance, and every table has a beautiful view out over the valley. A new highlight from our visit this past weekend is their Vineyard Tour. Call to check when this is being offered, but it was an absolute blast to get to ride around the property and see all the fascinating hidden gems tucked away around the vines. There's history in those hills I had no idea of, and it was a great time getting to explore it all!”
“This was the best sushi I've ever had. Rainbow roll was amazing, Jalapeño roll was top notch, and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. I wish I lived closer as this would be my new, go to sushi spot.”
“Awesome small independent brewery in Escondido CA. It's definitely an unpretentious location that I love. I consider myself a IPA enthusiast and the Backyard Brewery's West coast IPA is one of my all time favorites. The owner, brewmaster is the bartender and is super friendly and can explain the ingredients of every beer on tap. They also have a store on site that supplies home brewing equipment.I live in Cleveland OH and spend a lot of time in North County. This was a great find and I'll definitely be visiting again soon.”
“Was amazing for brunch! We went for my mom's 79th birthday and we had a wonderful time! I am an eggs benny kind of girl the eggs were very overdone,( like hard boiled )sent back twice but then they got it right! Just ask for runnier eggs if that's the way you like them for a Benedict! Otherwise the food and service were great!!!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We've been there several times now and have enjoyed the food and beverages every visit. The staff are friendly and competent, and it's always a fun (but messy) experience.Parking: Lots of parking. Never more than a two minute walk.”
“It's no secret there are some great wineries in/around North County San Diego, but this one is truly exceptional. Everyone we encountered was genuinely friendly and inviting, especially the owner who invited our 5-year old to help her round up the pigs on the property. The space was peaceful with plenty of outdoor space. We enjoyed both wines we tried and will certainly be back very soon!”
“Joes Italian is a good choice when I'm in town. The antipasto salad is an excellent choice. The eggplant parmigiana is very delicious the flavor was excellent. The service is good. They cook the food fresh, the ambiance is good. I like the retro Italian restaurant vibes. I have been here multiple times and Joes never disappoints.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Great home town, cafe, reminds me of small town cafes from back east. Staff has that perfect balance of sass and service. It's definitely a hidden little gem off the beaten path.”
“I loooove Sunnyside! My fiancé and I typically come here on saturdays and always really enjoy it. The service is great, the restaurant is cute, and the food is fantastic. I always say this when we're there but I feel like what makes Sunnyside so good is that it doesn't taste like restaurant food. It reminds me of like, the best sandwich you, or someone who loves you, would make to eat at home.”
“I love it here. The burgers, THE WINGS, THE TOTS!! so good. Just tried to breakfast burrito and felt inclined to finally leaving a review. It was big and filling. I was impressed with the flavor of the housemade salsa. Everyone always friendly and helpful. A must try if you are a frequent flyer on grand Avenue. It r if you’re just passing by ?”
“I have not tried the food but I can say it looks delicious every time I see dishes being carried out from the kitchen. My friend and I like to come here for the famous pornstar martini! All staff at Hunsakers are so attentive and welcoming. It's absolutely a hidden gem here in my hometown of Escondido.”
“Terrific tacos and the best horchata I've had in ages. Also delicious homemade flan. Great service, too. I have a food allergy and they were helpful and knowledgeable. My kids loved their food, too, so it was a perfect place to go for dinner after the San Diego Wild Animal Park (just 6 miles away). Highly recommend!”
“Great food and Service. They are always busy, especially on Sunday's. But, I've never had to wait to be seated and My food was always hot and tasty ? I'd definitely recommend this place, especially for breakfast!”
“I had an amazing experience today at EscoGelato. I could persist about the great prices, the cozy atmosphere and the delicious & quality Gelato, but the service here really is something special. They are so kind, welcoming and thoughtful.”
“I love Phatties. So amazing to have a long menu with so many options, all vegan. I recommend the enmoladas and carne asada tacos. Keep in mind the serving sizes are huge here. Food is great and but the dine in is a bit run down looking, but that's part of the Phatties vibe, and it fits in with the post-apocalyptic vibe of present day downtown Escondido with its numerous mostly empty dilapidated strip malls.”
“Had the Pepper Jack breakfast sandwich with the aoli side and it was delicious!First time here and always have to try a Mexican Mocha, as a test to compare to my Abuela's ? I was not let down and it tastes great, not overly sweet either as some are.The location is quiet and relaxed, plenty of seating inside and out. The staff is attentive and friendly!Recommend and will be coming back for the orange peel Mocha!”

“This place is amazing ? ? great food they really give you your moneys worth. Other restaurants charge a lot and are skimpy with their servings not this restaurant. Great tasting ? ? ? ? food!!!”
“I was passing through Escondido from Garden Grove and made a pit stop here for some much needed bánh mì. Bánh mì are some of my all time favorite foods and I eat them 1-3 times per week. Here in Garden Grove, there are probably about a hundred bánh mì shops. However, Son Tra was a delightful surprise because their đặc biệt bánh mì was amazing! I pate filling was generous and flavorful and the headcheese was an excellent addition. I haven’t had headcheese in bánh mì in a long time and love the texture. It was also perfectly seasoned. The carrots and daikon pickles were cut thick and provided great crunch and texture.What an awesome hole in the wall spot! Highly recommended. It was so good, I stopped by again the next day in the way back home.”
“Excellent! Saw it on maps and just decided to stop for lunch with the family. None of us had ever been there. First off large menu with a variety of dishes. Hospitality and service were amazing! Ordered the house made Mac n cheese with bacon, and split the Bacon -Avocado Burger and both were very good, everyone enjoyed the Mac n cheese that I reluctantly shared with them. Also, the onion rings were some of the best I've ever had. Everyone loved their food, Cheese steaks, meatloaf sandwiches and Seafood melt were all very good. Good beer and drink selection as well. The staff then gave us an order of beignets which just made the experience better. I highly recommend!”
“Deeeelicious vegan breakfast and lunch options, lots of snacks too and salads, I'm so excited to go back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free available, and I, as a vegan had AMAZING options, it's great to have a whole menu to yourself!”
“Smoked and Tasty has absolutely exceeded my expectations. A scrumptious variety of goodies has been served at my friend’s birthday party, and the cake was just out of this world. Absolutely excellent choice for catering! Thank you ?”
“Our waitress Diana was exceptionally helpful and professional and listened to our orders specifically to my allergies food issues!!! Food was great ! She was excellent!! All in all my husband and I had a great lunch and service!!! And the hostess Saniah was so awesome when we came in she greeted us with a smile and was so friendly andkind !!! To top it off the manager Andi came to our table and listened to our feedback and was so pleased with her employees and she we were happy with her as well… all in all !!! Fantastic job everyone!!!”
“Calling all my garlic bread lovers and sangria girlies. With amazing views of the sunset and afternoon breeze on a warm sunny day, it’s so relaxing and tranquil. Love spending special days up here.”
Outdoor Dining
“I would go here just for the kindness! Everybody that works here is super upbeat and friendly. Each time I get a drink it’s perfect and I get some weird drinks. Grateful this place popped up in Escondido. Look forward to coming here with my punchcard! Make sure you get one of those to get a come ”

“I came across this place by accident while on the way back from a work meeting. It's in the heart of the industrial park area in Scripps Poway and it looks a little commercial from the outside. The inside, however, is nicely decorated and clean with two levels of seating. You order at the cashier and the food is brought to your table. I had the Southern Fried chicken sandwich with a jalapeño slaw, a hazelnut mocha cream puff, and a cup of the green tea. The star was definitely the chicken sandwich. It was perfectly crispy and moist inside. The jalapeños in the slaw were mild and not overwhelmingly spicy, and the fries were crispy and not soggy. The hazelnut cream puff was good but there wasn't much of a hazelnut flavor. If it didn't have hazelnut in the description, I would've just thought it was a good mocha cream puff. I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu and more of the pastries in the display case.”
“So, so good! Went to the bar to order and got stuck trying to pick from all the delicious options. Ended up with The Great Deceiver (TGD), South of Heaven (SoH), and a sharable Starch Nemesis. TGD was a vegan burger from beans that my wife loved. We were both happy that it wasn't a vegan burger trying to be a regular burger. It was crunchy and super tasty. The SoH was everything promised spicy, bacon, burger goodness straight to the face! The fries were crunchy, crispy, and oh so satisfying. Can't wait to go back and try other burgers and the sandwiches.”
“Great place to sample beers, kombucha, and/or cider. Staff was great in helping understand how to get what you want. They checked multiple times to see we were enjoying.I really love that you pour your own whatever and the machine tells you how much you have poured. Great neighborhood place. Looking forward to next time.”
“I Own a Philly cheesesteak place downtown so I wanted to try this place out. First off the staff is amazing and friendly. Very welcoming. Right when you walk in you see the smiling employees and you can tell this is a family establishment. The hot pastrami was one of the best I’ve ever had. I love supporting businesses like this. 10/10. Thank you Kelly!”
“We've stopped in here a few times now as a mid week hang out spot. Good alcoholic and non alcoholic kombucha options. Lots of little stashed away spots to sit, a neat ambiance. A little fun, a little cheesy, definitely commits to the theme. Personally we avoid live music nights, it's kind of all you can hear since the place is one big hallway. Cool place to add to the limited rotation of options on Grand.”
“Food was super yummy! I got the carne asada tacos. But my friends got some of the other ones and everybody loved their food! The people making the food were nice even though I was tripping over my Spanish. Super yummy!”
“The selection of gluten-free pastries was fantastic. Also, I’ve never had a ginger turmeric latte, but I’d certainly come back just for that.Dietary restrictions: Several gluten-free pastries to choose from!”
“The space was relaxed and great quick service. The table allowed a family of 4 to sit comfortably and eat. The bread balls were great. The pizza crust was super crunchy without being burned. We ordered the pizza 22 pizza and it was amazing.After the pizza and bread ball we got gelato and it to was amazing.”
“Was amazing for brunch! We went for my mom's 79th birthday and we had a wonderful time! I am an eggs benny kind of girl the eggs were very overdone,( like hard boiled )sent back twice but then they got it right! Just ask for runnier eggs if that's the way you like them for a Benedict! Otherwise the food and service were great!!!!!”
“This is my third time eating here though I've gotten take out a few other times.They treated us really well tonight when I came to celebrate my mom's 90th birthday. She really likes fish tacos!The service was slow but they were so nice and super friendly so I still give them a four.The food was fantastic. I tried some new things including a Marlin taco which had a really savory soak of spices and the Fortuna Dorado Taco which is shrimp in a deep fried crispy taco shell. I'm not normally a giant shrimp fan but it was really good. I also got their side salad which was huge and high quality! Quite a bargain!The whole crew came out to sing happy birthday to my mom who was delighted and they brought her an amazing and huge piece of a really unique cake that was chocolate with a layer of flan on top. We all shared and it was great!Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options like the avocado taco and both a veggie burrito and taco. Also some salads.”
“Our favorite pho restaurant in Escondido! Always super clean, food is so tasty and the owners are always there willing to accommodate if you need anything. Surprised us with some yummy drinks when we had our baby and waited in our car for our order. They’re the best!”
“First time here and certainly not the last. Didn't realize I passed this place nearly everyday as I work down the street. Got a hot americano and a chocolate croissant and both were the best I've had anywhere.”
“It's no secret there are some great wineries in/around North County San Diego, but this one is truly exceptional. Everyone we encountered was genuinely friendly and inviting, especially the owner who invited our 5-year old to help her round up the pigs on the property.

“Really kind and attentive staff, Great lunch menu, family friendly. Would go againSo to start off with the lunch menu is really legit. You can check the updated photos for pricing.We came in on a Saturday night and they got swamped right after. Our waitress whose name escapes me had a heart tattoo on her chest. So attentive and kept her cool even though she just got absolutely overwhelmed with customers. Checked in on everybody. Was very friendly to my children.The bathrooms were clean. I got the Escondido And would really recommend it. The tuna looked really fresh and my daughter is a huge fan. The chef really hooked us up And gave us a way to my kids delight.. My son got a rainbow roll.Lots of TVs and they had Wi-Fi available as well. Look forward to going again.”
“The food is very good and the service is friendly. I want to say that timeliness is an issue the two times I went here with my dad but the owner stepped outside from the kitchen and let us grab several drinks from the coolers for free to make up with just how long it was taking. I appreciate the gesture and without that, we would have left for another business. Our family will continue to stay for Soprano's.”
“Thank god Bamboo House survived Covid because I could not survive without Bamboo House. Delicious Chinese food - flavorful, not greasy, vegetables are well cooked… Favorite dishes include aromatic shrimp, egg fu yung, kung pao beef, and mu shu chicken. Friendly staff, too. Don’t miss this spot!”

“After attending a comedy show, saw an ad for this place with a discount code so we decided to check it out. My boyfriend and I each got mead drinks (his was something red and margarita esque; mine was blue). Then we got to sit down and mess around with the massive selection of games, encouraged by the friendly bartender. It was just such a chill spot to unwind and be present with each other. After finishing our drinks, we got to wander the gallery and see a wide variety of art, some to our taste, some not but all worth enjoying.”
“Excellent Mediterranean food, with fair portions at fair prices. The prices have increased and the menu has changed, but the food is still delicious.Parking: Plenty of parking in the parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and seating.”
“This place looks like a hole in the wall, which it literally is, but was absolutely delicious. We ordered two chicken plates, which came with freshly grilled chicken, sautéed together with onions, squash, and garlic. It was served over a giant bed of rice, and came with a side of pita bread. I also swapped the Taziki with hummus, and this was some true, homemade hummus. It was enough for me to eat lunch, that day and midnight snack the next. We will be back.”

“My family and I went to Vintana for a birthday dinner. The food and service were wonderful! I ordered the Seaside, my husband ordered the ahi tuna and my kids ordered from the kids menu, all of which were delicious. There was a good amount of seafood in the Seaside and definitely enough for left overs. Our original reservations were for outside, but due to the rain the server called and said they’re moving our reservations inside which was perfect.The servers were so attentive and friendly. The servers even sign a birthday card which is very thoughtful. Vintana never disappoints which is why we will dine again there soon.”
“I can't recommend this place without recommending Fernando. I've only been once and he was our server. He was the one who provided us with service and an experience that would even rival Mr. A's (which we frequent)! The filet was outstanding, the oysters were great, the dessert good... but the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend this place because of Fernando!”
“The roast beef sandwich was excellent, fresh and not greasy at all. Service was excellent. The host was friendly and accommodating, and the server was always checking on the table.

“My husband brought me here for my Birthday. I absolutely loved the service. The whole staff. They are family oriented and I love the togetherness. I also loved the Air Bnb and the bath soap is the bomb. Lol. We will for sure be coming back, perhaps for our anniversary. Great scenery. Great service.”

The service was amazing, all the gentlemen at the counter were very pleasant and happy to help. I ordered chicken enchiladas with green sauce. They were amazing!!! I haven't found them this good anywhere else locally. The salsas that came out with the chips were both very very good. Will be back very soon.”
“I never knew this food truck was here and I decided to give it a try. Its really good I wasn't expecting them to be this good. I got adobada, asada and cabeza. I highly recommend to come eat here. They have a lot morw things like quesadillas, mulitas, burritos, carne asada fries etc. The horchata is good as well. Service was good, it was pretty busy when I came so you might have to wait a bit, but even then they were quick with the tacos.”

“Great service! An employee named Omar came out and asked how everything was to r done in dining area.... with a big smile. What a wonderful thing to do. Thank you!”
“I stopped in for the all you can eat catfish that was recommended by a local. I'm glad that I took his advice. I'm from Eastern NC so I know catfish. We eat it regularly. I can confidently say that this is the best catfish I've ever eaten. It isn't beer batters but instead they use a light cornmeal dusting that becomes perfectly crunchy, combine that with the moist clean white catfish inside and I can promise you that you will remember it for the rest of your life. I hope that I get this catfish in heaven because it's truly heavenly. Ms. Mary is the owner and cooks with love and you can taste it in every bite. It's everything you could ever want. I'm beyond full but I still feel the love in my belly. This is a must eat if you're in the area. Truly an incredible meal.”
“What a gem to find in North County! I was so hungry that I forgot to take any photos, but everything was OUTSTANDING! We got a chicken combo, flautas, and chicken nachos... we have an over-ordering problem, but leftovers are sometimes even better! Quick service, and I'm never mad about having a beer while I wait for my food. Such a cute spot!”

“Great BBQ and the atmosphere was a blast. Huge screen for sports. While I was there they had a trivia night which was super cool seeing everyone have a lot of fun with it. The brisket was perfect and the Mac and cheese was so good. Great spot for an all around dinner experience.”
“All the great things you have heard about this place are correct! We didn't have a rez so had a bit of a wait so we went to get drinks at the bar with a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender. At the table our server knew exactly how direct us on the menu and we were very pleased with all our selections. There is something for everyone!Also ask the server for the story about the music in the men's room! We didn't have the same type of music in the ladies room.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“We came here group of five. It's a small place. Parking at the back. Got lost first. As soon as you passby Popeyes make a right. They took quick . Food was great. Black garlic was comparable to ultra Ramen. The noodle was just regular though. Price is right. Awesome food.service was fast and good quantity/ size of serving.”

“I had yogurt bowl which is amazing and never tasted this kind of bowl ever. The people are amazing.

Finger crossed”

“I enjoy coming here every time i’ve visited the workers have been very kind and friendly always get my order quick and fresh and get a good customer service whether its in the drive thru or dine in, the place is usually very clean as well as the outside the only thing upsetting thing is that there is a lot of homeless people that come to use the restroom or just get water cups and make a mess but other then that i love coming here and will continue to do so!!”
“Went through the drive through on my lunch break and was impressed with how fast and friendly service was here , in particular the guy at the window named Armando , made me laugh and will be back most definitely !!”
“I went here on a Sunday for lunch. Parking is hard to find next to Swami’s, but there were plenty of spots across the street. The groups that were waiting for their seats looked long, but the wait times only took about 10-15 minutes for 2 people. I had the ABC omelette and a Very Berry smoothie, both were delicious. Service was quick and attentive for a busy Sunday.”
“My family and I went for dinner and we enjoyed the atmosphere, The food was fresh and delicious, and the best part it was super clean. Thank you pollo loco staff you guys are always so friendly.”
“Best Customer service ever! There was only one employee working the whole restaurant On a Friday night. This young kid named Jesus was incredible. Working by himself with a smile on his face. Jesus definitely deserves to be recognized. Carl's Jr is lucky to have you.”
“I went here to receive my birthday food credit . I decided on the pancakes, sausage, and egg breakfast meal. The customer service by Yesina was awesome. She provided the utmost service that day. The food was delicious too. Keep up the great ? work.”
“Yesterday I had gone through drive through to order the chicken Cantina, I was on my way to work when half way through my order I saw a hair sticking out, I thought it must be mine but the hair color was brown/orange and I have blue hair. I went back only to switch the one taco. The gentlemen who helped me apologized and ask if I wanted anything else I told him no it was fine. I know it can happen here and there in the food industry, I’m a Supervisor myself. But I want to a knowledge the young man his customer services was on top!!! From the minute I order through the drive through. Even though I said no to anything extra he ended up putting another taco in a bag. We need more people like him in the food industry, I wish I asked his name but if you see this, with that service you’ll be sure moving up!!”
“Swiss Grill is Back! After a health issue these guys are back and better than ever! Their chicken is AMAZING but I was also BLOWN AWAY with their ribs. You know you are eating great ribs when nobody is asking for sauce. They are so good they don't need sauce! I caught them at Vista's Saturday market, but they also go to other venues, I also caught up with them at Lawrence welk resort in Escondido on a Monday after they sold out on Saturday in Vista!”
“ithe food it pretty good but the experience was awesome. today alex helped me and i didn't know what side i wanted or how spicy i wanted it and alex was soo patient and helpful!! made my experience 10x better i'll definitely be telling my friends about this customer service (and food) here, amazing!”
“Great little hole in the wall, locals hangout with a bar and restaurant. Food was decent, margaritas were very good but our waitress was wonderful. The bartender greeted us when we walked in and we were seated quickly.”

“Best #TacoTuesday in Escondido! Great deal. All Tacos are yummy but my fave is Chicharon Taco. Its a bomb. I did tried the Carne Asada fries too. An overwhelming line up of customers so be sure to be patient. Its a ll worth it.”
“Unpretentious place with a friendly staff and great Mexican "fast food". Limited hours but a much better alternative for lunch than all the national chain joints.”
“This small storefront pizzeria is easy to overlook, but we strongly recommend you seek out Rocco's. They do delivery and takeout only, and we're just fine with that. Our favorite is the sausage and mushroom pizza and it is perfect every time. The pizza is fresh, tasty ingredients are plentiful aboard the chewy crust, prices are reasonable --- and you get a free 2-liter bottle of your favorite soft drink as well. Give 'em a call and try a Rocco's pizza (or a calzone, or a sandwich ...)!”
“This has always been a family favorite and the owner still remembers my mother who used to come in decades ago to get pizza from this establishment. Great food and great deals all the ”
“They always make great food, their salsa is really tasty, they even made a burrito that accommodated my pittie! Thanks Mendoza’s for always providing great Mexican food to the community In Escondido.”
“This place has grown so much! I remember when it first opened and getting off the ground. Now. you drive by and it's packed. There is a different food truck there almost everyday. They stick to making great beer and allow the food trucks to deliver great food. Customer service is great! Dog friendly as the feed store is right next door. Love the pilsner!”
“My new favorite restaurant!Best fish and chips I have ever had! Didn’t need any kind of condiment.The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We called ahead and they helped me find a meal that would accommodate my allergy. Very casual and welcoming place. I’m 30 minutes away, but looking forward to going back.Dietary restrictions: I have a severe onion allergy. They were able to accommodate me with the fish and chips. It was delicious.”
“An excellent place to eat! I come here almost every day. It is so hard to find a healthy food at a nice place to eat at reasonable prices. Tina's Too checks all the boxes... Love the fresh cookies and homemade soups... The friendly and honest service is an added bonus...”
“Always live this place.Parking: Some of the parking is under shade made by solar panels. Nice way to put in solar.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to main dining floor. Elevator to second floor.”

“Wasn't planning on coming here originally but found this place on Google maps. Immediately walking inside I noticed the cleanliness and the simple layout of the Market. The cashier was very nice along with the crew in the kitchen. I ordered a asada burrito with 3 birria tacos. Waiting for the food, I appreciated the organized placement of goods for sale and the location of the kitchen and seating area. The food was great and the service was professional. Will be back. 5 out of 5.Parking: There are a few spots up front but if they are all taken you can park a little further out by the oil change building.”

“Small place but they're good! Sunset roll is a fave, lots of others to choose from that are also good to great. The quality is there and it's definitely fresh. Good service and is a local staple that will always be a go to!”
“A hidden gem! We are travelers and just wandering around Escondido looking for a place to grub....and they beckoned us in! Super nice guys serving and bartending and really good food!!! Because it was a small place with a relaxed bar vibe, we expected just decent bar food. Nope! The menu was as way better than bar food. My hubby had a great Greek gyro, my son had tasty Buffalo wings, and I had spicy edamame that I loved. Then, my son had two desserts...Choco molten cake and then crème brûlée. Really...in a neighborhood bar? The best part was the fun and personable service. Finding places like this are the best part of vacations!”
“The service was phenomenal and the food was beyond anything we have had in North County, honestly. While the food is very obviously elegant, the atmosphere is a nice mix of upscale and local Escondido comfort. The dishes are different each week and each course is very rich and appeals to many unique appetites! The only downside for us is it is very expensive (worth it, though, for sure!), so we cannot go as often!”

“Sushi rolls, ramen, appetizers, everything is great. The atmosphere is great, casual and family friendly. I consider this is one of the best sushi restaurants in the Escondido area.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian ramen, absolutely delicious.Kid-friendliness: They are kind and patient with kids.”
“We had a fantastic meal last night at Rancho's. We drank cold Modelos and devoured their fantastic Tlayuda! Family-oriented, outdoor dining, and casual setting. Perfect for after a long day at the San Diego Safari. Our hosts were very kind and we received great service.”
“Had the shrimp tostadas and aguachiles verdes and I have a hard time finding a good mariscos spot but the place was good 10/10 and the customer service was good as well.”

“We did Take Out and it was our first time trying their food and let me tell you, it's DELICIOUS! I'm a big fan of raviolis; every italian place I visit, that's my meal, always. I requested Alfredo sauce instead of marinara and meatballs sauce, no regrets; it was so cheesy, so warm, so perfect. The lasagna was really good too. I would definitely recommend this place.”

She got everything right and made sure that we were very well taken care of. Come here for a great meal. Ask to be seated in Alyssa's section and get amazing service! Thank you for an awesome dining experience Alyssa!”
“Pre-hike breakfast/brunch bowl tasted a little like dessert but was tasty. I appreciated being able to get multiple flavors in the base. The coconut cream was amazing!”

“I came here with my friend because I had never been and she said we had to go. And I am so glad we did! The woman at the counter that took our order was so patient with me because it was my first time here. She was very nice to us. The inside had a glass wall with their beer kegs on display for the bar in the center, I thought that was pretty cool.I ordered the #2 combo with medium buffalo and two sides of bread sticks and a side of ranch and oh my goodness.. it was so good the Buffalo sauce was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the first had a beautiful crisp on them and weren’t soggy. And dipping it in the ranch was just the perfect way to bring every bit together oh my gosh I can’t wait to go back! I’d give 6 stars if I could!!”
“Let's be honest with what we are doing here in the first place, we are all here to see animals, not some 5-star dining experience.This isn't where I'd chose to eat (unless you brought a picnic snack ) but is a great place to grab a salty pretzel and a beer! Grab a table and enjoy the view while you check out the map of the park.”
“Just finished my lunch, the person running the counter was very fast and efficient. I especially liked their clear and efficient communication with the customers.”
“Tried the limited available Patty Melt...found it do be delicious...it should be added to their permanent menu...actually returned a week later to have it again...!”
“After 3 hours of walking at the Safari Park, we decided to make a quick visit to Panda Express located on the third floor food court of North County Mall. I can always depend on this place when I want a quick, satisfying bite to eat. I decided to get a bowl of chow mein and orange chicken. The chow mein noodles were soft and chewy with a slightly seasoned and smokey flavor. This combined with the sweet and tangy taste of orange chicken is the perfect combination. I was happy with the quick and friendly service of the staff here at this location.”
“The food is top notch! If you wanna taste some real authentic food from Oaxaca Mexico this is the spot to go to! It was a group of seven of us and to be honest the waitress was slightly rude and didn't take the order correctly. At one point she brought out two more dishes we never ordered and blamed it on how we ordered. We were there for my mother's birthday so we didn't let it kill our vibe and just took it home. I'm sure if it's a smaller group they'll do just fine taking and order correctly but besides the service, food was awesome. On another note, it is on the more expensive side! Keep that in mind.. definitely worth a try!”
“We drive 20 minutes here to have some good mariscos (seafood) in the northern part of san diego. The food is very good fresh delicious flavors! And their drinks are too! The micheladas come in many diffrent flavors!KEEP EM COMING! All that good stuff aside unfortunately the place is very dark & ranned down.best way i can explain the chairs are brittle & dusty the tables wobbly & sticky. The music was so loud & horrible quality of speakers so yhe loudness was mostly grainy music I couldnt hear the waitress well enough. Well with that in mind it did make me question how clean the kitchen or bar is.”
“Nice place , pricey although, good food ! Small menu also !! I recommend. Oh great service too !!Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right in front which I'm greatly in need of !!?”

Also I like how its kinda like mystery shack from gravity falls.”

“I have the chicken piccata. It was amazing! Tender breaded chicken breast. Maybe in a buttery lemon sauce sauce and buttery spaghettini I think (really thin spaghetti). I had tiramisu cheesecake. Holy Smokes! Everything was so frickin delicious! Oh and ahead a few pieces of their freshly baked bread. And a Caesar salad which was also great.”

“I am from East County and used to the El Cajon/La Mesa locations. Walking in here felt and looked the exact same, if I woke up in there I would swear I was on Fletcher Parkway. Great friendly service with a delicious menu. A lady walked out saying how fantastic it was and telling everyone that walked by they needed to try it. What does that tell you?Parking: We parked directly in front of the door. It is a huge lot with several businesses and a lot of parking.Kid-friendliness: I always went here as a kid. There aren't any toys or anything except for a few gumball/toy machines at the entrance. I'm sure they have a coloring placemat.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking, wide enough entrance and walkway, tables spaced apart.”
“This place is incredible! I got to markets all over San Diego County looking for good deals on meat, my diet is about 85% meat so when i heard about this place, I HAD to check it out. This place offers several types of red meats,poultry, and pig meat. All of which are beyond reasonably priced ? here's a list of pros and consPros:1- offers several types of red meat; beef, bison, elk, and venison, all reasonably priced2- offers multiple types of poultry; chicken, game hens, duck3- pork that is either farmed pork or WILD BOAR ?4-everything is portioned to be affordable, for instance other markets offer brisket at a similar price of about $13-$15/lb however there were 2-5lb slabs available at the meat counter. I was eyeing a slab of brisket that was $32.5- this place is family owned! The people that work here are very very kind and accommodating to what you would like or need.6- every product, even down to the ground beef is of very very high quality. Far superior to any market I've been to yet. Every meat is rich in color and is kept very fresh.7-open every day of the weekCons- doesn't get the appreciation this place deserves, this place should be packed every single day. I will be shopping here regularly without hesitation and highly recommend anyone who sees this review to come visit the store. ESPECIALLY anyone who is a meat connoisseur”

“We reached out to Big Dev to provide BBQ for our Emloyee Christmas lunch. The portions were grat and the food was beyond delicious. Tri-Tip melting in your mouth. Chicken moist and tender. Ribs with the meat sliding off the bone. Rice, Potatoe Salad, Baked Beans, and Mac-n-Cheese. It was fantastic. Big Dev shows up with his BBQ in tow and the smell is heavenly. Call him for your next corporate or family event. You will not be disappointed.”

I was impressed with the flavor of the housemade salsa. Everyone always friendly and helpful. A must try if you are a frequent flyer on grand Avenue. It r if you’re just passing by ?”
“This place is amazing ? ? great food they really give you your moneys worth. Other restaurants charge a lot and are skimpy with their servings not this restaurant. Great tasting ? ? ? ? food!!!”
“I loooove Sunnyside! My fiancé and I typically come here on saturdays and always really enjoy it. The service is great, the restaurant is cute, and the food is fantastic. I always say this when we're there but I feel like what makes Sunnyside so good is that it doesn't taste like restaurant food. It reminds me of like, the best sandwich you, or someone who loves you, would make to eat at home.”
“My husband and I went to Huckleberry for the first time. The food and atmosphere was superb. Victoria assisted us today and she was phenomenal!! Her customer service skills are fantastic.”
“I came across this place by accident while on the way back from a work meeting. It's in the heart of the industrial park area in Scripps Poway and it looks a little commercial from the outside. The inside, however, is nicely decorated and clean with two levels of seating. You order at the cashier and the food is brought to your table. I had the Southern Fried chicken sandwich with a jalapeño slaw, a hazelnut mocha cream puff, and a cup of the green tea. The star was definitely the chicken sandwich. It was perfectly crispy and moist inside. The jalapeños in the slaw were mild and not overwhelmingly spicy, and the fries were crispy and not soggy. The hazelnut cream puff was good but there wasn't much of a hazelnut flavor. If it didn't have hazelnut in the description, I would've just thought it was a good mocha cream puff. I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu and more of the pastries in the display case.”
“I love this location. All the employees are so nice. Pizza is always amazing. I come here at least once a week.Dietary restrictions: Cheapest vegan cheese pizza around! They use Daiya shredded mozzarella”
“I met with 5 clients this morning at On The Border Escondido. This was the first time for me to meet clients at this location. When I was setting up the appointment weeks ago, I talked to the Manager Lucia and she was open minded and accommodating. When arriving I was greeted by Gustavo. I told him I was looking for a quieter place and he made a couple of suggestions. He was self starting didn't need to bother the Manager. He landed up being our server and did a great job! My clients were raving about the food. What a great experience. If you need to meet with clients, date night or an evening with the family, I highly recommend On The Border, you will not be disappointed!”

“This is the second time I have been to Dutch Brothers and unfortunately it's not my favorite place. Although the reason for my review is, I must say the customer service is absolutely incredible. I had the pleasure of meeting Amelia in the drive-through today. She was very kind and extremely knowledgeable of the different drinks. I loved her different recommendations And her upbeat personality. Definitely a great coffee experience and that's what sets this company apart from other companies. The whole team seems real sweet. I appreciate the kindness on a rough day.”

“I love a Cubano, and there isn't anywhere else nearby to get one, so when I saw this place opened up, I had to stop by and try theirs. My goodness, it greatly exceeded my expectations. The roasted pork was so flavorful and juicy, this might be the best Cubano I've ever had. My only regret is that I didn't get a side of fried plantains. I'll definitely be back soon.”
“While I didn't find the food particularly good or bad, I did want to recognize the service provided by the front end employee named Luis. He was very friendly and his attention to customer service is a wonderful relief in a day that customer service has taken a nose dive. This kid will go somewhere! Thanks Luis!”
“I have not tried the food but I can say it looks delicious every time I see dishes being carried out from the kitchen. My friend and I like to come here for the famous pornstar martini! All staff at Hunsakers are so attentive and welcoming. It's absolutely a hidden gem here in my hometown of Escondido.”
