“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 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.“

“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!!!“

“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 experience! Went on a Saturday after a hike. Not pretentious at all thank goodness. I got a glass of wine (Syrah) and a burger (life changing). Staff was so friendly! It was quiet which was perfect for me but they also said Sundays they have activities for kids and music so keep that in mind if you prefer a lovelier experience. They have wine, sangrias, and spritzers, which is a nice way to shake it up especially for warm weather days! Great views and spacious outdoor seating options.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

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

“Great Neighborhood brewery!“

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

“April 2026 Monday noon lunch.
The meal and service were great. They shifted into Outstanding when it came to customer service. Here is a copy (edited) of my thank you note to the Manager, Kevin.

Thank you so much for all of your attention - so rapid, effective and sincerely customer-oriented.

As you are aware, the gift card was purchased elsewhere and the inactivated bonus card mistake had nothing to do with you or your staff. Things happen, that's life. I was prepared to deal with corporate HQ.

Both you and Kaden obviously did everything possible at the time to help us. Your follow-through with corporate was beyond expected. We feel well taken care of.

Thank you for going beyond your responsibilities as the Brigantine manager and simplifying our life.

Oh, by the way - the meal (grilled tacos and seared ahi bowl were both fantastic.)
Compliments to all. OUTSTANDING !

Much appreciated - Daniel (Dan) and Crystal Marler

btw - we've not dined at The Brigantine in ages. Because of your efforts (and food quality) we'll make a point of visiting more often.“

“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!“

“Excellent, tasty flour tortillas.“

“Loved the whites but not a huge fan of the reds (opposite of normal) It is a busy place, large with multiple sitting areas and was very popular the Saturday we were there with live music. Unfortunately only one place to get a glass or continue your tasting and waiting in line, mostly while one pour-er talked to one guest, got a little old and took away from the experience. Food truck on site serving pizza and related food was very good.“

“Everything we ate was excellent!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 🍀🍻💚“

“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“

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

“Welcoming staff and yummy Froyo😋“

“I came in one morning they were very busy full area plenty of customers I walked in through the front door the staff greeted me immediately asked me if I would be dining and I said no just needed to order a breakfast sandwich for my fiance the wait was not long the food was fresh I would recommend coming here for breakfast“

“From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Kim, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave great recommendations.

I started with the biscuits and gravy with sausage links, then had scrambled eggs with corned beef hash and fries, and finished it off with a cinnamon roll to go. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious.

Kim was attentive the entire time, always checking in and making sure my drinks stayed full. Her positive attitude and genuine hospitality truly made the experience even better.

10/10 — I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“
