Échale

Great little place with a nice vibe and great food. The burger is gigantic and amazing. The kale salad was also delicious. But the mushroom toast is something special. Highly recommended!

The food is fabulous—no doubt about that. The rest is so bad. We were two couples for an early Friday night dinner. Two of the four entrees were plopped down before our appetizers. A third came soon after. My entree came well after my husband and friends had completely finished their meals. When the waiter, not ours, dropped off the first set of entrees and we complained he shrugged it off as too bad. He told us the food comes out when it comes out. But here's the thing. That's not fine dining. That's not even casual family dining. That's food court dining. Oh, and the appetizers? They finally came well after we had all finished our entrees. While I am willing to give Echale a second chance, my husband says never again.

This has now become one of my new favorite restaurants! The food and service were just amazing, and the ambiance was super chill. The steak was probably our favorite thing that we got. Excited to come back! And if you’re in the area please check this out!

Food was good. However loud hip hop music playing and loud interior while eating dinner only added to headache inducing experience.
I guess this is OK if you’re wanting to eat dinner in a nightclub atmosphere. But not for me.

This spot is such a refreshing place in Encinitas! The ambiance is unreal, great music and it's so beautiful inside. Such a good vibe!!! Friendly, easy-going staff with wonderful recommendations. Varied menu with options for light bites and happy hours to nourishing and DELICIOUS main proteins. Some things that especially were amazing were the carrot starter and the skirt steak entree.

Incredible wines, great food, and a chill vibe... Echalé is the spot!

I was welcomed by Erin and Macy with warm hospitality into an ambiance that felt carefully curated. Erin kindly persuaded me to try the Maitake Mushroom dish, and I couldn’t have been more grateful—it was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to treat myself to more of the menu as I explore everything else this restaurant has to offer.

Highly recommend. We tried many dishes and each one was expertly prepared with interesting flavor profiles. So exciting there is another LEGIT foodie destination in North County. If you like Valentina (and if you don't please don't talk to me) this is a must place to check out. Well curated wine list by someone that obviously cares about wine and not what the distributor tells them to do. AND a vintage Marantz pushing the music.

Really wanted to like this place. Perhaps we didn't order the right food or wine. The wine is natural wine. We sent a bottle back as a table of 6 who did not like it. Wanted to send the second bottle back but kept it out of courtesy. Ended up drinking the baby Miller's beer bottles the rest of the night. The bread, butter, and side of beans were the best dishes we ordered, along with the ceviche. The pork belly tacos were tasty but felt too greasy with the tortilla sitting in grease on the plate. The steak frites were OK but boring, and they don't offer ketchup. So if you're a fries and ketchup eater, you'll be disappointed. The Tres leches cake could have been milkier. Flavor profiles were fine, but little things were wrong with each dish.
