50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Encinitas

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Delicious fresh and hot handmade donuts! They even have Gluten free!“

“Friendly service, clean and really good food. Support the locals and have a local brew“

“Consistently gorgeous and delicious options for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Friendly and well trained service, kind family-run restaurant. You can tell this team puts a lot of heart and soul into what they are sharing with our community. One of the best parts, the elixirs! Don't skip the drinks. I like to go with 1 other person to make sharing easy and intentional. Get one of everything, but especially the Turkish eggs, anything with steak, the panna cotta bowl, and Shrimp and grits“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“cookies are super! sandwiches, salad & soup.. So delicious!“

“I love the coffee here!! 🤤“

“First time got a chance to try this place and the food was amazing. Great taste, great size, portions were awesome, and taste was very good. Definitely will be back for more and I highly recommend you to try this place. Great job guys.“

“Amazing food!!! We got a few things on the menu today. We got the firebird , cali dip , kids meal chicken nuggets . Let’s start with the firebird .. amazing sweet and spicy taste with big nice pickles to maintain the heat overall recommend this sandwich . The Cali Dip was delicious sweet and so much flavor I’d have to say one of the best “Tortas” I ever ate . The fries are the best !!! Sauces are so yummy. Everything was about $47 but SO WORTH IT!“

“Authentic Tokyo style sushi and sashimi for Jim and great choices for us non fish eaters. We eat there every week.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Jojo’s is a San Diego gem, it is always top on the list of places for visiting family members. The honey lavender is exceptional and so is the customer service! Cole was holding down the fort when I came in the other day and was an absolute star. Thanks Jojos team!“

“Great food - super fresh fish & casual vibe. Prices were reasonable & I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Enjoy!“

“I had a great experience at Luna Grill! The food was fresh, flavorful, and made to order. The portions were great and everything tasted very yummy. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend Luna Grill to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean food, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“simply delicious and fast service“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“Great coffee and convenient. Always pleasant staff. ☕️🌈“

“Order at the counter and food is brought to your table. There's a separate counter for ordering coffee.

The #1 burrito was fantastic and huge. No cheap fillers. Delicious eggs, sausage, avocado. I took half home for the next day. Kids loved the French toast and pancake combos. They also enjoyed the fruit smoothies.

Overall it felt like good value for the money. There was no line and it was easy to get a table at 8:45 on a Saturday, but when we left at 9:30, there was a line out the door. Free street parking was easy to find at that time.“

“Great food and even better service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the service, Mel, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and genuinely happy with our experience. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot.“

“I have had several treats from this cafe and, without exception, they have all been superb! Obviously made from the finest ingredients and always fresh. The team leader, Stephanie, is such a delight and is so thoughtful and kind. Thanks for the delicious goodies!“

“I appreciate having a local cafe where I can eat almost everything! They use no seed oils; it's 100% GF and have many dairy free options. They use homemade almond milk without the additives. I can enjoy a latte, a baked good like their pumpkin cupcake which is delicious, and they have amazing vegan bacon on their Sammy sandwich.“

“Awesome food prepared very well worth the wait! Delicious surf and turf! I was looking for the corn on the cob and churros but they ran! Super popular!“

“are you kidding me. This place is the best. great food and service. love it!“

“We eat here and order from here on a regular basis! Dependable customer service and consistently elevated quality every time! Substantial menu variety for every palate. Family-operated and welcoming atmosphere. Enjoy!“

“Great beer and dog friendly. Outdoor seating on highway 101.“

“April Cardenas is the skill behind the scenes/in the kitchen. 100% respect to her commitment to this long standing little gem of Leucadia. The personal touch she infuses in everything she does cannot be quantified in dollars nor words. And the beautiful women at the counter are professional and nice.“

“I love this place and the sweet people who work here! My favorite meal is the trifecta of a basil chicken wrap, naked salad, and the best carrot ginger soup ever! It’s not on the regular menu anymore, but can be requested as it’s still in their computer listing. The new back grass patio dining area beneath giant old pines is a hidden treasure that opened during CoVid.“

“We came from New Jersey to visit family we found the diner, the service and food was great we came back the next day. On our next visit we will be back . A big shout out for our server Christa , thank you .“

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“We were looking for breakfast at 1pm and this place delivered! Breakfast, lunch and dinner food. Everything we ordered was amazing and had a slightly different take on what I normally expect. The homemade biscuits were great with their gravy. I'm from the Fresno area but will make an effort to stop in again when I come back this way.“

“I literally came looking for an Oreo coffee frappe, and even though this spot was a donut, the owner went above and beyond and made me an incredible Vietnamese coffee slushy that was next level.

I also tried a fresh Fruity Pebbles mochi donut, and WOW. Not overly sweet, perfectly fresh, and absolutely addictive. I had to come back immediately.

Amazing customer service, unforgettable drinks, and dangerously good donuts. This place is a hidden gem.“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“Honestly this place will be added to my list of best Indian cuisine ever! Very nice atmosphere, even though it’s a small spot! Food was ordered at the counter and brought out right away! The owner is kind and offered me a Complementary drink on the house I denied it! the food was more than enough for me and it was honestly amazing will be coming back again highly recommend the Tiki masala And the garlic naan is not soggy. It’s nice and firm with a soft middle to it when chewing!! Thank you masala street 👍🙏🏻“

“young lady in the front was very helpful which was awsome because it was my 1st poke experience and I was alone. I am def going back.“

“Delicious authentic Italian meals artistically served .“

“I ordered the vegan Caesar salad and added red beans. They did charge me $5 extra for a side of beans but that was worth it. Best Caesar dressing, in my option. Their chips are out of this world as well. There were several items, tacos, bowls, burritos that could be made vegan. The only vegan protein that I saw were red beans, no tofu or tempeh.

“Best pizza 🍕 in San Diego!“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“love ❤love.... only get out this way once a year but we have fallen in love w Encinitas and we come back here every time“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“I come here often to support local businesses so I was a bit frustrated when I showed up right before closing and they had already locked the doors and yelled we are closed from behind the register. Will give them another shot but come on now“

“The owners here are Italian and super focused on executing their family recipes. A meal here is like visiting their home towns and you'll enjoy it even more if you get to meet them. It's like an easy trip to Sicilia and Napoli. Sonya and I have visited twice and we are new to town!“

“the birria tacos are good I recomend them“
