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.“

“hello the cashier was friendly and had beautiful smile and listen to my order and said thank you coming in. what a fast service and pretty busy . always clean and all co worker friendly. thank you. kathy“

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

“Ordered on my behalf after a full day of road tripping. Enjoyed in our hotel, burger was good and fries tasty. Really liked the mini Caesar salad too! Delivery vía a third party app, super friendly hotel personnel - they also had a robot so that was rad, I didn’t see it though. Not far from Legoland and of course love the area, so I’d recommend.

“You gotta try the taquito burrito!“

“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!“

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

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

“Visited from Oklahoma. I had never been to a Carl's Jr before but it was DELICIOUSSSS. The place was super busy when I was there but the servers were still very kind. I witnessed a very inconsiderate customer that the staff handled with grace. 10/10!!“

“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“

“Panda just panda everywhere you go right? WRONG! This location, single-handedly, makes the best food in all of North County. I have had fresh food here, crunchy orange chicken, and my chow mein is never veggies with chow mein, but rather, a ton of noodles with veggies. I have catered from them 3 times already and have also ordered pick up at least once a week for friends, co-workers, and family.
Staff is great and it's always clean.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great customer service from Rico. Thank you!“

“Food was great there wasn't a huge line. My only complaint is turning into the drive thru was a little hard and its in a high traffic area where the traffic is forced to turn in right in front of the restraunt. Almost got hit going in 😬“
