I love all their lemonade versions - tastes like actual lemonade to me, and they use cool fruits in their kombucha like dragonfruit! If you like it, they sell bottles, and can also bottle one for you then snd there. They usually have live music Friday and Saturday and events throughout the week.

Chocolate Bash 352 W Valley Pkwy, Escondido Dessert • $$

“Went recently after watching a movie with my family and happened to stumble on this shop since it’s beside the theatre in the shopping centre. Once we got inside we were immediately greeted by the staff and were graciously guided through the menu. From aesthetic milkshakes to tasty chocolate covered strawberries they had a variety of options for everyone in the family. My mother ended up trying the Dubai strawberry cup with chocolate drizzle and pistachio cream drizzled throughout the cup. The cup was made with a good ratio of strawberries and drizzle where each bite had a bit of everything. My brother ended up ordering lava cake with vanilla ice cream, it was a covered in dark chocolate and had a very decadent smell. The ice cream given to us was a very big scoop which let every bite of the lava cake pair with the smooth ice cream. I was particularly interested in the build your own experience as they provided a variety of options to create the best product for each person exactly how they want it, making it unique for everyone. I ended up enjoying the mini pancakes covered with dark chocolate drizzle and I learned they serve Belgian chocolate which is my favourite. The store was clean and the atmosphere was nostalgic with the rock feature wall. The staff was very friendly and patient, doing their best to satisfy their customers. Overall would recommend and will be coming back again with my friends”

Mexico Lindo 169 S Juniper St, Escondido Mexican • $

“I checked out Mexico Lindo on South Juniper Street in Escondido recently and was really impressed! First from the outside, such a beautiful tree lined sidewalk and nostalgic façade. There is also parking and an entrance in the rear. This family run establishment could not have been more homey and comforting. Very old-school plastic covered, vibrant Mexican tablecloths, tables dotted with crusty bottles of hot sauce and so forth. The place is really a throwback to a bygone era in dining. Worthwhile visiting just for the vibe. The service itself was outstanding. Warm, friendly, welcoming, and personable. I felt like part of la familia the whole time.

The menu here features many of the Mexican restaurant basics like enchiladas, burritos, tacos, seafood, etc. I ordered the enchiladas, one cheese and one chicken. Both come smothered with their delicious, richly flavored mole sauce. Topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and crema. Such an excellent dish despite the enchiladas being rather conservatively filled. Not sure if they have chips & salsa service here but I wasn’t offered any. My Modelo Especial was served in a bottle, nicely chilled with a side of lime wedges. I look forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommended if you haven’t been.”

Honestly, one of the best ramen spots I’ve tried. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing friends. Highly recommend if you’re craving something comforting but high quality!”

I’m so glad my son, his wife and I came here! First of all, just picture the perfect San Diego Sunday afternoon. The weather was gorgeous, even the traffic cooperated. We each had a flight which consisted of 2 of their award winning reds, and a really nice prosecco. I do not pretend to be a wine connoisseur, but I know what tastes good to me. Everything we tasted was delicious, of high quality and was elevated over the top by the atmosphere and hospitality of the owners Barbera and Dennis, as well as our hostess. We had an awesome time. Highly recommended!”

“Fierro’s Pizza catered our staff party and absolutely crushed it. The setup was seamless, the staff was professional and kind, and somehow hot, delicious pizza just kept appearing… and then immediately disappearing thanks to my very happy guests. Everyone was fed, full, and thriving. They even left us late-night bites, which was a heroic move. The food was fresh, tasty, and the setup was clean and cute, not your typical chaotic pizza situation. For context, we had about 25 people, everyone was stuffed, and we still had leftovers. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone throwing a party who wants zero stress and very full guests.”
