50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Escondido

“This is a very small space with limited seating, but it is also one of the few places I will stand in line. Handcrafted food made to order, and delicious. I have only had the bean and cheese burrito, and it was so well seasoned! This is not a two hands burrito, but well worth it!“

“On a recent visit to the San Diego/Escondido area, we ate at Craft and Taco Lounge. Since I’m vegan, it was my pick for dinner, and the Vegan Pastor ended up being my favorite. It was so good that I went back the next evening for takeout. I’ve had tacos across Texas and Mexico, and these were among the best I’ve had.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I were on our way home from San Diego and wanted something delicious for lunch. I Googled “best restaurants in Escondido” and H Bros was on the list with a 4.7 ratings. Well it should be a 5 in our opinion! Starting with the young man who greeted us…..happily answered questions we had about the menu, gave us ice water and offered us to have a seat to review the menu before ordering at the counter. After we ordered and got our food (Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and homemade potato chips) we were checked on twice by the nice young man and a pleasant young lady! The food was amazing! We could tell that they put a lot of effort into preparation and it was served hot! We will be returning in the future!“

“Our wedding at Rancho Guejito was truly everything we dreamed of, and so much of that is thanks to Nicole and her incredible team.From the very first tour, Nicole made us feel so welcomed. One thing that really stood out to us was how hands-on she was throughout the entire process. We toured many venues while planning our wedding, and at most of them we never even met the owners. Nicole was completely different. She was present, involved, and genuinely cared about making sure our day was everything we hoped for. She is incredibly kind, patient, encouraging, and always so quick to communicate. Every question we had was answered thoughtfully, and she always made us feel like we were more than just another couple on the calendar. That personal connection meant so much to us during such an important season of our lives. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. The property is absolutely breathtaking, beautifully maintained, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how stunning the venue was. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way. If you're considering Rancho Guejito, we cannot recommend it enough. It is an absolutely magical place to get married, and Nicole is one of the biggest reasons why. We are so grateful to have celebrated the best day of our lives there and will cherish those memories forever. Thank you, Nicole, for everything you did for us! 🤍“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“Great Neighborhood brewery!“

“I've loved this place for over 2 decades now! It is my favorite sandwich shop! It has such a great locals vibe and it's easy to see the people like working there. I stopped eating meat in 2018, but every now and then I let myself cheat with a Rock n Jenny's 9 inch turkey with the works!!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“We always love going to the Brigantine Excellent everything!!! We go frequently to Happy hour also. The general manager is always checking on his guests and very personable.. thank you to him also. We will definitely be back. Great for Escondido to have such an excellent place to dine out.“

“We had a wonderful experience! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, and the place is absolutely beautiful. We visited as a group of 9 and truly enjoyed our time there. The wine was excellent, and we loved the fruit trees as well. We are visiting from Texas, loved the family friendly atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“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! 🍔🍟❤️“

“This is the only place to eat in the mall. It’s healthy, Whole Foods, no processed food. And it’s tasty. I get the pioneer plate with chicken, beef and Gyro, and add rice or not depending on my health goals. Anyway, if you care about your self and loved ones, stay away from the other places here and get Pioneer! Also I love I can run through the field and park to get there. Great spot!“

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

“Everything we ate was excellent!“

“Lovely outdoor seating, staff was knowledgeable, and the wines are delectable and smooth. They are dog friendly for outdoor seating but be warned, there are three winery dogs who roam free; so don’t bring dog reactive dogs here. Otherwise, this is a fantastic winery to visit. They offer small shareable plates to snack on. Kids are welcome but they have to stay inside in a side room (that’s all glass walls so easy to spot). Parking lot is stone and there’s a narrow road to get in so drive slow. Overall, great for tasting or a lovely afternoon“

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

“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.“

“Excellent, tasty flour tortillas.“

“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.“

“A classical diner atmosphere, like Jimmy's or Denny's. Staff were very polite & accommodating, even bringing iced water for a service dog in our party. Wait was minimal & the nice waitress was attentive & thoughtful! The prices at first seemed on the higher end, but the quality & portions were excellent & worth it! They make soups, mashed potatoes & corn bread from scratch & likely more, you can tell. I'd recommend if in the neighborhood, you won't regret it! 👍“

“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. 🍀🍻💚“

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

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

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

“So good! It's my new fave. I love it here. Get the app too, lots of specials and savings with the app. Great coffee! Some seating. Drive through always looks so full but it moves quickly so don't be deterred. Can park and walk up to window which is also fast. Interesting concoctions, I highly recommend!!“

“Have been a long time fan of Tina’s Deli on twin oaks. Was over in Escondido around the automotive area and looked here for best sandwich near me and saw this saw right around the corner. Had the turkey with bacon on sourdough and was happy! Great ingredients. Very good sourdough. Be back soon.“

“First time there food was delicious“

“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!“

“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!“

“Welcoming staff and yummy Froyo😋“

“great owners!! great food!for!! love the place“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“Staff was great, food was excellent, loved the art work.“
