“This restaurant was a destination stop in my youth. They are not in my state, so I had to visit them again when I was out of town. This restaurant is clean, but I did notice several wet stains on their ceiling, which could be roof leaking. We ordered a 3 piece meal and a chicken taco. The sides were corn and beans. Everything in the meal was good tasting. My only complaint is chicken pieces are too small. The taco with visit sauce was also good. Prices are a little high for a fast food meal.“

“Wow, vegetarian of 10+ years. I just moved to Esco and saw this on uber eats. I’m genuinely blown away, not only is the food SO GOOD, but the fact that you don’t have to worry about cross contamination or getting meat accidentally, is so nice. The packaging is so cute, AND my husband who’s very not vegetarian, really enjoyed it too which is such a surprise, he got the Nashville chicken sandwich. Wish I took a pic of the food but my chonky self was too excited. I will say it is pricey but rightfully so!“

“Where’s the BEEF!! You can barely see the thinnest layer of beef! I like this place and employees for the most part but this was a F failure, they must be short on beef ? If I had paid full price I would have complained to the manager and asked for another but since I got this on a Tuesday drop I’ll just post it here. It definitely changes my mind about stopping here in the future.
Update ; later that night i went to another TB (Escondido blvd) and got the same crunch wrap supreme and it was the SAME!! A slither brush wipe of beef!!!
The thing is i live 1hr 40minutes round trip away from any fast food, so I may be a bit more sensitive to miss cues but 2 locations on the same day is just upsetting!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Taco Bell

I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience had to be shared. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Burrito through the drive-thru, and WOW—absolute flavor explosion! The melted cheese on the outside of the burrito is pure genius. It’s like they wrapped it in a blanket of golden, cheesy perfection. One bite and my taste buds were completely blown away.

I was so impressed, I literally parked and went back inside to order a second one just to see how this masterpiece was made. Yes, it was that good. Melty, savory, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor. Hats off to whoever came up with this recipe—this is next-level fast food.

Taco Bell, you’ve outdone yourselves. I’ll be dreaming about this burrito until I come back. 🔥🌯🧀“

“This location was one of the few places that can accept the NEW EBT microchipped card. You can do the front kiosk to prepare the order, and then suspend the order to pay at the register for the EBT card payment. And while Jackbox and am/pm both do not accept the new cards yet. This burger king location was able to serve me and I am grateful for the employee who was willing to help figure it out.

Kid-friendliness: It isn't in the best neighborhood of Escondido but it looked clean and safe inside. The bathroom must be opened by the employees. It was large and open seating and looked kid friendly enough that I would rather be inside burger king with my child instead of on the outside there.

Wheelchair accessibility: Average handicapped parking and open floor plan would be very wheelchair friendly.“

“Anytime I crave Panada, this location is right around the corner, and they always do it right. I'm always greeted and welcomed by the staff. Tonight was no different. Unfortunately for the staff this time, they had to deal with a 300lb Karen and her family of hungry hippos. The staff remained professional the entire time while taking care of their custome orders for these picky eaters. I almost thought about leaving because these people were taking forever to order. But I knew it would hit the spot if I just waited patiently. It was also the last hour of the night, so of course, the rush came in, and the popular entrees were going fast. Being the great people they are, they let me know it was gonna be a small wait. I didn't mind at all. Got my food, sat down and ate. But here came Karen on the hangry rampage. She was rude, demanding the names of the manager and staff so she could report them too corprate, and get them in trouble. Of course, the manager (CJ) remained calm and professional and reassured King Kong that they would be taken care of. The young lady working the register also remained professional while getting harassed not only by her word but the stench coming from her fat flaps. And they did all this while simultaneously taking care of the other customers at the same time. I just wanna say what a great staff they have. I hope corprate recognizes that and continues to show gratitude for all their hard work! You guys Rock! I'll be back for sure!“
