15 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Encinitas

“About two weeks ago, I went to some Hawaiian barbecue for the first time and I didn’t even know who Hawaii barbecue was a thing and they gave me mac & cheese and the thin steak thing and it was so good. It was amazing that on the car ride home I even ate my leftovers and they had five stars. I don’t know the name now this place I was trying to relive that experience and they had 4.7 stars so I was thinking Man they’d be really good but their menu was very bland and they didn’t even have mac & cheese or the thin steak thing. They just had rice and very basic chicken and steak and I mean it wasn’t bad and they were friendly, but in no way wasn’t special.“

“My wife and I stopped for lunch. We had the chik’n and waffle sandwich (delicious but definitely sweet), the western burger with beefy patty (very very tasty), the chk’n tenders (excellent, I liked with honey mustard) and the horchata shake which was truly amazing, refreshing will get again. Staff was super friendly and helpful, even making my iced coffee to order.“

“Carne Asada burrito and 3 rolled tacos with guacamole. 'Nuff said!“

“It's Jack in the box, hadn't ate at one in more than 10 years! I love this restaurant chain! As I write this simple review I only wish I was back in California to go get another Jack fix! Jack move to Florida, I need you here in Tampa!“

“Long lines but they are super efficient getting customers through and superior service always with a smile🙌“

“You gotta try the taquito burrito!“

“My burger was awesome! I will definitely go back again and again and again...“

“My experience was good, June 2025. I ordered on the app, about 7 minutes after I ordered the food was already ready. The dinning area was immaculate and an employee was wiping down tables at the time I was there. The food was great compared to other locations. I normally get 3 pieces of diced tomato on my Supreme items, but they had plenty on my items.“

“We always received great service at Jersey Mikes and this location Encinitas with no exception. The line was out the door when you arrive during Saturday's lunch rush but we had our food in no time at all. The service was awesome and even know they were super busy employee still had a smile on their face. Will definitely be returning this location because their food is amazing as well“

“Good clean simple food. Not too salty, definitely not the best place to get tacos in san diego, but it seems like really clean, simple ingredients. I would definitely eat here again. If youare on a low sodium diet or have restrictions, this place is a safe bet“

“Shout out to Gabriel who went above and beyond to deliver excellent customer service. (Just ignore the robot order taker and go to the window, I asked if it spoke Spanish and it ordered like 3 extr things. I just drive past the speaker straight to the pleasant human by the window. Cause they will have to correct your order anyway haha)“

“We arrived about 45 minutes before closing and the employee, Jocelyn greeted us with the warmest smile. Although the restaurant was sold out of teriyaki chicken, the item we were wanting, she managed to make our experience quite pleasant. We ended up ordering a small portion of the orange chicken and she gave us a complimentary drink for not having the teriyaki chicken. She also gave us an extra fortune cookies “for the road!” Apparently it was a really busy night and we had just missed the rush. But she still had the biggest grin and best attitude. I’ve worked in customer service for many years and her service was the epitome of going above and beyond. This woman deserves some recognition and a raise. Simply amazing.“

“Great customer service from Rico. Thank you!“

“The Subway in Encinitas on Santa Fe is great. They accepted our BOGO coupon and were friendly and very helpful. I'm on Social Security and use coupons regularly to save money.(The Subway on Mission in Oceanside was completely different. They refused to accept our BOGO coupon.)

Parking: We got a parking space in front of the restaurant in Encinitas.“
