I had the Ceasar Chikin wrap. It was tasty.“

“Best Gelato I have ever had!“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“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'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!“

“I have been enjoying a quarter pounder for ages with a HI C orange, still delicious and fries were amazing. Soo good

Kid-friendliness: I don't have kids but they do have games inside for kids

Parking: They have a lot of parking for pickup, which to me it seems they have too many but since I don't know if they really get many at a time. I guess I shouldn't say. The reason I mention is because it doesn't leave much for the rest of us

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure they have ramp“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always great food fast service and very friendly“

“Seniors portion is just right. Nice servers & good food .“

“I think they have the best middle Eastern food in the county. I love their rice. Platters are huge and you'll get three meals out of it - two if you're a big eater! I don't know what they're called but the pickled veggies (part of platters) are amazing and so it their baba ganoush. There is plenty of parking.“

“Hello beautiful, I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment 2 Thanks a lot, I feel honored and blessed to have an amazing fan like you. Kindly name 3 of my songs you love so much...“

“I have written a yelp review about their food. I love their plum sauce and that’s saying quite a bit as I am not a fan of the usual sweet side sauces. This one is different though. Their Pad Kee Mao or spicy noodles is honestly so good. Their noodles aren’t mushy (they are perfect) like so many restaurants have let them get, and their food is always served hot.“

“Everything we ate was excellent!“

“Cindy is the most kindest soul there is.
She takes the spotlight.
Her service and attitude is not only a one-of-a-kind but they feel sincere.

Oh yeah — and the fries are good too of course.

You guys have a moral and professional responsibility to reach out to her and remind her of how amazing her service is...or else 😤💪🤣“

“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.“

“Good food and service boat noodle is a must“

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Chin's Gourmet and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The chef's recommendations were absolutely outstanding - every dish was packed with flavor and prepared perfectly.

The dumplings were some of the best we've had: fresh, delicate, and incredibly flavorful. The green beans were exceptional, cooked to perfection with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. The rice dishes were equally delicious and complemented everything beautifully.

Beyond the food, the service was attentive, welcoming, and made our family feel right at home. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal together.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine and aren't sure what to order, trust the chef's recommendations-you won't be disappointed. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Highly recommended!“

“Great Food, great pricing, and great customer service, the man at the counter always greets with a smile and everything is presented fresh. Which to the eyes of the customer (me) is very appealing. Definitely returning for the gyro Sandwich and the baklava, thank you for your service 🙏“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“Soy. Un cliente. Q. Frecuenta. Mucho. Este. Restaurante selos. Recomiendo muy. Deliciosa su comida Grasias. Por todo.“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“

“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!“

“Best chicken soup!! All the daily specials are great! Flavorful food at a reasonable price“

“Our go to take out spot is Kinaly :) We’ve tried all of their entrees and every single time we are not disappointed. Their customer service is always above and beyond & we enjoy their rewards program. We never go anywhere else for Thai food :)“

“Quick order on UBER EATS and it hit the mark. The acai bowl was filled with great options/fruits and packed with flavor. Avocado Toast spoke of freshness, nice protein w/ pumpkin seeds, and the Tumeric Shot, tart, had a great punch. I'd order again in a second.“

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

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“Swami's atmosphere was relaxed, casual, and inviting. Their menu options were so plentiful with a great variety, and all of their portion sizes were more than generous for all eight of our dishes, from the waffles to the burgers. Their space was large and spacious and good for small and large group sizes.“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“Absolutely Amazing! I've been a 3GO customer for many years and they have always had the best Sushi in Escondido and great prices too! During the pandemic I started ordering their food for delivery and they do an excellent job of packing too! 10/10 don't bother going anywhere else.“

“Just visited and was immediately impressed with quality beverage selections and food offerings. The owner actually touched base and was very friendly. I will be back to try the food. Sorry that the market/ pizza place next door gets confused with this place. The 5 star reviews of the other place actually had photos of the interior I just saw in person...If you are any where in the area you should definitely give them a try.“

“If you’re looking for truly authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is a must-visit. Everything is handmade—from the tortillas to the fresh, flavorful salsas—and the meats are grilled right in front of you. The natural fruit drinks are packed with real flavor and perfectly refreshing.

What really makes the experience special is the family who runs it. They’re incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

These are the kind of tacos that take you straight to Mexico—simple, traditional, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!“

“I haven't been here in a while and was craving a beets, carrots, pineapple.and spinach juice. I ordered a large cup and requested no ice. I got my drink its it was just below half way with actual juice and the rest was foam, you can't drink the foam. I was about to get charged around $12 for a half empty cup of juice. I expressed my concern with the cashier and I asked her if she would charge me for the medium which is about $8. She was hesitant but eventually agreed to it. I feel like they fill the entire cup with ice and only top it off with a small amount of juice which is a rip off/scam.“

“The wait was about 30 minutes, which is very long compared to my experiences in Phoenix, but quite normal in California. The wait staff was very pleasant and very friendly, and we were a large party which only spoke further to their professionalism and attentiveness. I enjoyed this location and would return if in the area.“

“I really like this pho place and come here quite often. In my opinion, it’s one of the best value-for-money pho spots in the area. The interior has a very classic, old-school Vietnamese vibe, which I really enjoy.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the food is very filling for the price. The large pho portions are huge. My husband and I can barely finish one bowl, and there’s always a lot left.

The spring rolls are delicious, especially with the slightly sweet dipping sauce. The chicken is tender and flavorful, very authentic. Overall, a great spot and definitely worth supporting.“

“I like this local Escondido Filipino eatery. They serve their food buffet style to go or dine in. Variety of freshly prepared Filipino dishes. My faves are the BBQ pork/chicken, loonganesa (sp?), sisig, lechon, ampalaya casseroles, and of course the halo halo for dessert. Yum yum yum... ok, can't say more cuz in eating.“

“Went there last night for my birthday. The food was amazing. The best dinner I have ever had. Thank you!“

“Yummy Burgers, Tempura Green Beans, and Ranch!!!“

“Everything we have ordered has been awesome. The portions are huge and last a few days. My favorites are the chicken chow mein and veggie egg foo young,

The customer service isn't amazing, but we don't really care. The food is delicious and that's all that matters to us. I'm surprised they don't have 5 stars.“

“There's usually a wait time to get you food here, but that's because they take the time to make your order fresh. I always enjoy the club sandwich here and burgers. It's one of the few places that's open late that offers a variety of foods on the menu. The 2 for 10 is always a great deal. You get to pick 2 items from a from a special menu for a total of $10. It's definitely a go-to place for lunch or dinner.“

“Best chicken soup!! All the daily specials are great! Flavorful food at a reasonable price“

“One of the best sub shops around. Much better than Subway and only a bit more expensive (and none of the Jared corporate "ick"). Not quite as good as Jersey Mike's but at a fraction the cost. Its either Submarina or Agrusa's for me.“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Hard to get great service these days, but Mike's BBQ never disappoints. Thank you!“
