“Little Miss was recommended to us by one of the Midway volunteers in San Diego. We checked out this location as it was close to our hotel, and loved the vibes! This one is USSR themed (each one has a different WWII theme). Helpful bartenders, great beer, and friendly patrons.“

“I had an absolutely delicious iced matcha latte at Blue Mug yesterday. The matcha flavor was superb and it was perfect for the heat wave. The bathroom was clean, and the staff was friendly. It was very nice inside and a great place to grab coffee, a pastry, or a sandwich. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Craft & Taco was so delicious! Pescatarian, vegetarian & vegan options available. I had the Avotaco vegan option with tempura avocado & chipotle aioli. So filling & super flavorful!! Definitely returning. Guacamole was spectacular too.“

“From the moment we stepped onto Ranch Guejito Vineyard, we knew it was something special but nothing could have prepared us for how truly exceptional our wedding day experience would be.

The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Surrounded by rolling vineyards and stunning natural beauty, Ranch Guejito feels both intimate and grand at the same time. Every corner of the property is thoughtfully maintained and picture-perfect, creating the most magical backdrop for our ceremony and celebration. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful and peaceful the space was.

What truly sets Ranch Guejito apart, however, is the incredible staff and level of customer service. From the very beginning Nicole and her team was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They treated us with such care, patience, and kindness throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself. No detail was too small, and no request ever felt like an inconvenience.

On the day of our wedding, everything ran seamlessly. The staff worked quietly and efficiently behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. Their calm demeanor, organization, and warm energy made all the difference and gave us complete peace of mind.

Ranch Guejito Vineyard didn’t just host our wedding, they helped create one of the most meaningful and unforgettable days of our lives. We are beyond grateful for the love, effort, and excellence they poured into our celebration. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking scenery with exceptional service and heart, Ranch Guejito is truly unmatched. We would choose them again a thousand times over.“

“I recently had a fundraising event and Sunny Side was such a great choice for catering. After I sent an email, I got a call back and we walked through the order and right sized it. The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“Great food. we tried the chicken fried steak and eggs, theeeee cheesiest quesadilla, and I also tried the fish taco, carnitas and carne asada taco. man, talk about filling...Staff was friendly and checked on us often...Great spot to enjoy some great food“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“I was wanting to find a place to eat as we were passing by Escondido on the way home, and H Brothers looked interesting. O wanted something local and comfortable and I’m so glad we stopped in. The two servers we met were both professional and very friendly. The menu is full of “comfort foods” but with twists to make them more modern and interesting. The food was delicious and served piping hot like I like it, and our servings were really large. The whole experience was great and I look forward to our next visit.“

“e well, she is a managers. They’re very friendly and outspoken and really nice people. 😊“

“LOVE going to Mia Marie’s for an afternoon with friends. The atmosphere and view are incredible and the wine is fabulous. On weekends they have live music and wine vendors and we never feel like they’re so busy we have a “2 hour table limit”. Their staff is all incredibly sweet and knowledgeable and the tasting events are fantastic. We stay, we drink, we hang, we enjoy the scenery and music, and it’s always an amazing time.“

“We came in after a hard day loading and wanted A great meal they went ahead and made our food even thought it was closing time, they could have told us they were closed! What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“As someone with a soy and sesame allergy, it’s hard to find places to eat that can accommodate. Elmisa Cafe easily accommodated my allergens- their bread comes certified soy and sesame free from the baker- and their ingredients are fresh! Try the Rula, you won’t regret it!“

“Ksenia and Zaryna catered a beautiful birthday event for us and we’re so pleased. Ksenia really listened and took into consideration all preferences. She went above and beyond to create a memorable set up and a flawless experience for our guests. The food was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend this company for your big and small catering needs!“

“The food is amazing. Had their new Grinder Sandwich and it was soooo good. The salad was fresh and the ingredients were plentiful. Great meal and great atmosphere. would highly recommend.“

“Super chill place! I was really impressed with the fig flatbread. Can’t wait to try other menu items :-)“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

“Great Neighborhood brewery!“

“Incredible folks out here at James. Really a locals-only gem in Escondido. Pastries can't be beat; the cortado gives me hope. ☕️🥐“

“We were nearby Rockin Jenny's and decided to just pop in after seeing so many people going in. We ended up ordered the Turkey Sub 9 inch. Super super good. Totally unexpected but it was one of the better sub sandwiches I had in a while. What was really good was the Italian dressing, that really made the sandwich and I would totally buy that if they sold it separately. Nice employees throughout the store and great food! Would definitely come back again and would love to try to the other sandwiches.“

“I am a bit disappointed with recent winery messaging/policy. These changes seem to make the winery setting more exclusive and less welcoming to families. I have NEVER been dissatisfied with the wine. Just a little disappointed in the pull away from families and inclusion.

New review: I am the biggest fan of this winery. I have recommended this winery to literally all of my friends and family. I have never enjoyed a winery more than Domaine. I love most Domaine wines, which is very telling for a self-proclaimed wine snob. At most wineries I Iike two or three wines. At Domaine there is no wine I do not like. I especially like their Rincon del Diablo and Syrah. In addition to their scrumptious wine, the staff here have never waivered in their kindness and accomodations.

The missing star and slightly critical review is hopefully part of larger growing pains. My kids used to come here and feel so welcomed. They could stretch their legs and roam a bit (supervised). We could search for tadpoles or ask staff for the owl puppet or drive the tonka trucks through the olive orchard. It was a pretty special place for our teacher friend group to relax and have their kids enjoy outside at the same time. Seeing the new signage up discouraging supervised child autonomy is beyond disappointing. I enjoyed this winery as it always felt like family. It felt like home. It was uncomplicated and comfortable. Their dogs roam free and my kids, behaving with respect, were also permitted to do the same. Closing out areas to kids is beyond regrettable and makes me less inclined to continue membership (even given my 10 plus years of membership and their delicious wine). Unfortunately I am going to consider if it's worth it to be a member of a place that is seemingly inhospitable to half of my family. I wonder if they will make a separate section for families / dogs or if they will continue to slide towards exclusionary spaces.“

“the tiny brewery that cranks out awesome beer! all outdoor seating, a modern version of Cheers!“

“I came here on Sunday after living in Escondido for my entire life . I was impressed ! Food was 10/10 and warm on arrival and was very delicious . My server was super nice and the ambiance was perfect ! Will be back . In fact, I’m craving to come back !“

“Belle Marie wines are delicious and for our palate some of the best wines ever. Jeff and Scott do a great job as vinters behind the scene and out in front as folks come in to taste. We've had wines from here for over 20 years and it is ALWAYS GOOD!“

“Excellent, tasty flour tortillas.“

“My favorite pub since 2010 or so. Always a great time. Hoping to go more often and also for takeout since they are one of the best restaurants in town as well. 🍀🍻💚“

“Great beer, fun people, they have comedians, live music, drone events, and are dog friendly. A must stop for your beer drinking needs!“

“Everything we ate was excellent!“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“I told the blonde young lady that it was my first time going there and she really hooked me up she was very friendly and also were the rest of the co-workers and they made me one of the best drinks I've had in a long time she made my day by being so kind and making good drinks“

“First time there food was delicious“

“We only had burritos, but holy cow! This is a gem. We live in L.A., and I honestly might drive down here for lunch again. This is the kind of business that should be patronized during these times, so that it survives to provide REALLY GOOD FOOD.“

“Friendly staff and great value. While the kabob is definitely not bad, it is not as good as some other places that charge more. For the price you are paying, it is good. The dolmeh was actually good. I would recommend this place but if you have had kabob at nicer places just set your expectations.“

“The employee who took my order was excellent. Answered my questions regarding a special. Was very polite and professional. Sorry I didn't get his name.“

“Best burger I’ve had in a long time, and I love that they use quality ingredients. Garlic fries and cucumber-mint lemonade were also amazing. I definitely will be back often! 🍔🍟❤️“

“Best fresh Margaritas in town. Good food for take out or dine in . Highly recommend the margaritas“

“Extensive menu has food and drink that is something for everyone. Great vibe I really enjoy coming here with my mom. It's quieter than Chili's. Really comfortable seating and spacious. Great desserts too with some delicious options you don't see everywhere. Easy access and easy parking.“

“Welcoming staff and yummy Froyo😋“

“We eat here at last once a month, the food is delicious and fairly priced. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is comfortable. We love the chef salad, chili, fish tacos, chicken parm, fettuccine Alfredo, burgers, chicken fried steak, and ice cream (with lots of caramel sauce)!“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.
The winery is located up a relatively bumpy road past a sign reading "dead end, private road". You're going the right way with a great reward at the top!“

“Andy’s reds are superb! A must taste!“

“Chicken Plus will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember when my dad used to take me here back in elementary school — it was our go-to spot for a delicious meal and some quality time together. Every visit was a treat, and even now, all these years later, I keep coming back.

The food is just as incredible as I remember — always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. But what really sets Chicken Plus apart is the heart behind it. Syd, the owner, is truly one of a kind. Every time I walk through the doors, I look forward to seeing him. He greets everyone like family and makes you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally amazing, but Chicken Plus nails it every time.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Thank you, Syd, for all the memories and for continuing to make Chicken Plus the special place it is!“

“Just the best and most fresh.“

“Little hole in the wall deli I found on Google maps. Ordered a pastrami sandwich and was surprised with a bacon turkey club when I got back to my office. Was going to get upset until I took a bite and was amazed on how good the wrong sandwich tasted! I look forward to actually getting a pastrami next time to see how good that is! Good job ladies! You know how to make a mean sandwich!“
