“We have been passing this lil spot for the last 4 years. In to much of a hurry to get to the casino. Then on the way home were broke and just want to get home. However today we made the time and boy was it worth the stop. The young man that helped us was super friendly and assured us we would be back. I had a breakfast burrito and my wife had a chili realino burrito with a Pepsi and a Monster. At most places a b fast burrito for $10.50 is average in taste and size. This However tasted pretty damn good with lots of meat not just stuffed with potatoes like most others. Im a big guy and I was hungry and I only got thru half of it. As did my wife. We both took half home and were able to have it as a meal later. They have a good salsa bar as well. I definitely recommend and we will be stopping there for sure.”
“First time getting food from this place, loved my cheese pizza and NYC style pastrami sandwich..it was so delicious??it's a great to get a little snack while playing slots?”
“23 dollars for a fish and a carnitas burrito.The food has really gone downhill and the prices are crazy. FISH was just over fried batter on a micro thin piece of fish.. t00 bad.It used to be good.”
“Had the beef quesadilla for appetizer with Buffalo short rib being the main. Wow....the best casino dinner I have had in a long time.Sarge my waitress was excellent as well...great service”
“Delicious! Out of this world Mexican. Very different from Taco style restaurants and typical Mexican food. Please understand, I love my Tacos and Enchiladas, however this menu, the food is very different. Over the top delicious. The portions a huge, be prepared to take part of your lunch or dinner home. The ingredients are good quality and recipes unique. Love this place.”
“I love this mom and pop shop pizza place! Portinos has a special place in our hearts. I personally love the sausage pizza. We’ve been coming here for almost 8 years.They have cute bambino personal pizzas which make a quick easy lunch on a weekend.I love they have a good size gluten free pizza!I’ve never had their subs before and woah is all I gotta say- comfort food. My fiancé and I have shared the lasagna and spaghetti ? both wicked yummy.BIG GENEROUS PORTIONSBy supporting small family run businesses keeps the dreams alive. The staff is friendly and the chefs always say hi to me when I come in. Definitely feel the love here.”
“The environment here is always welcoming and over the course of a few years have grown to be part of the community. Offering many games on request to watch and a constant rotation of drafts to choose from. The food menu is small but always meets expectations and then some.”
“First off, the food was phenomenal. The entire staff was “Top Notch!” Our server, the busboy and food and beverage manager were the upmost professionals. They worked extremely hard to ensure my wife had a wonderful birthday dinner!! I can't thank you all enough! Great dinner/birthday night out for us.”
“Super yummy breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The fresh squeezed orange juice is amazing! The owners were super nice and welcoming to this newcomer, and we look forward to becoming regulars!”
“Everything here was delicious, staff was attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend the lobster risotto or the beef wellington more highly. Wanted to try everything on the menu. It was a amazing experience. Thank you Elizabeth and the rest of Hell's Kitchen.”
“This is a casual little winery that's not located on a vineyard, but the wine selection was good and there was a good amount of space to enjoy a little picnic basket with our wine tasting. Staff was nice too. I recommend the red flight.”
“I stopped in for the all you can eat catfish that was recommended by a local. I'm glad that I took his advice. I'm from Eastern NC so I know catfish. We eat it regularly. I can confidently say that this is the best catfish I've ever eaten. It isn't beer batters but instead they use a light cornmeal dusting that becomes perfectly crunchy, combine that with the moist clean white catfish inside and I can promise you that you will remember it for the rest of your life. I hope that I get this catfish in heaven because it's truly heavenly. Ms. Mary is the owner and cooks with love and you can taste it in every bite. It's everything you could ever want. I'm beyond full but I still feel the love in my belly. This is a must eat if you're in the area. Truly an incredible meal.”
“Nothing but Birria but it’s really good. It’s a taco truck. They are friendly and have tables setup for eating. Get the cheese on the taco. It’s that salty Oaxaca type I think.”
“By far the BEST pizza I've had since moving you CA if you're in Pala it's well worth the stop!! The guys that run it are very nice and work hard in that little truck! They get really busy around lunch time so you might have to wait a bit but it's worth it!!”
“Ok, first time here. Have a vacation home in VC and have been looking for great pizza close to the house. Found it:) The pizza is so much better than anything in VC and most of Escondido. I 100% recommend Pahua's Bakery & Pizza. The dough to make the pizza may be the sweet bread dough that they use for the pastry's (per previous review) but who cares it is so good and pizza is a "treat" not something you eat on a regular. I suggest calling in so you don't have to wait. The bakery section looked really good but didn't try anything this time but there is always tomorrow!BTW, the young man who took my order and was at the counter when I picked up the pizza was super sweet. Thank you!”
“Super cute coffee truck located right off the main road en route to Bates Nut farm. A great variety of coffee and pastries to choose from. There's nothing better than a hot cup of fresh made coffee with a warm danish if you ask me. Ruthii is the best! She was patient while we browsed all the options and she made recommendations for us too! We even chatted together while she worked on our order which made the visit extra special. Thank you Ruthii for helping us have the best day!”
“If you want authentic "ranch style" home cooking and atmosphere, this is the place! Too bad they only open on Sunday's. Food, atmosphere and customer service is 10/10. A little pricey but well worth the money.”
“Delicious! A little off the beaten path but easy to find when you have an idea where it is (pass the VC Rite Aid and it's on your right side can't miss it- white food truck with canopy.) Got the Cali burrito, it's big. The steak is great tasting, but very tough/chewy(thus the 4 stars). Red and green Salsa is outstanding and the roasted green firey chili on side along with fresh tortilla chips makes it a complete great meal. Besides the steak being tough and hard to chew flavor of it is fresh and delicious! Potatoes are more like breakfast Potatoes in their Cali burrito but it's a WIN! theyre so good! Have been back twice since our first visit. Highly recommend this place for mexican if you're in the area.Vegetarian options: they have an ultimate vegetarian burrito that looks great!”
“Family-owned and run business selling on the side of the road, as soon as you enter VC. They also sell marigold flowers for Día de los Muertos! Beautiful flowers with a strong smell even the bees love.”
“What a joy to discover this little gem in Valley Center! I was staying at Harrahs, got tired of the food & noise, and went exploring for something local. I found Magnetic North Farmstand! Loren was so helpful, and he guided us through their offerings & explained which items were gluten free. We ordered the egg salad sandwich, cilantro lime tuna, and a container of their potato salad. My friend & I split the sandwiches so we could each try both. Both sandwiches were great, but the egg salad was top for me! Just the right amount of mayo and great flavoring! The tuna was good too, but needed a bit more moisture. The potato salad was the bomb! I loved the setting. So peaceful & serene. Rustic outdoor seating & some cool music. A great way to spend an afternoon!”
“I'm very biased when giving my opinion on Agrusa's but that's because it's my favorite sandwich spot in the Escondido area. It's nice to have something different other at the casino that isn't SmashBurger or fine dining. I could eat their food everyday for the rest of my life and having one less than a mile from home drives home my point even more. The service is great and quality control is strict. They have beer too! I've only ever had their #22 but that's because it's the best they one they have. If you're not too busy crushing sandwiches then try their potato salad or spaghetti.”
“Very good serviceVery good flavor ?Recommendedgood pricesAnd the food portions are super reported.We will return to this place often ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This Jilberto’s is located inside of a grocery store located in Valley Center. Their food is delicious and their carne Asada burrito is one of the best I’ve ever had.”
“Delicious food and friendly people. I don't think I have ever came here and been disappointed. The carne asada is my favorite. I eat in burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. The Horchata is delicious!”
“BEST kept secret of this casino!!! Been here multiple times and so disappointed not many people know of this brewery. Its across from the hotel unfortunately they are unable to advertise in the casino. They have karaoke Thursday and Sunday . Different events like UFC as well as food trucks on fri and sat. Looks like they have live bands sometimes . We enjoyed the karaoke host was awesome seems like lots of locals with some great voices. Beer prices for a pint $8 they also have 4 packs to go for $20 and swag for sale. Ambiance is casual and low key. They sell snacks like chips n nuts. Three large size tvs for sports and one HUGE one playing sports. Nice open patio with some games like corn hole. Definitely a place to hang have a few great tasting beers and some fun!”
“Actually now call Shawii Kitchen at Native Oaks Golf course. The food is excellent! Best burgers, delicious salads and the veggie sandwich is to die for. Highly recommended!”
“We came here after a job in the area and wow was it a great choice! You know when there's a small homestyle restaurant in an out of the way area it's gotta be good but wow, their fries are seasoned so perfect and the crispiness is delightful! I had the Ortega Bacon burger and it was out of this world! Really hoping we work in the area again soon because I'd love to try their other dishes like the catfish!”
“Friendly knowledgeable competent Staff! Pizza is pry best in VC!! Our new favorite pizza to go, get the ranch to dip crust you won't be disappointed. It's a gas station is why atmosphere is not 5 stars?”
“Very nice and clean inside with great air conditioning. Friendly service, tasty food with reasonable prices. I had the bacon/lettuce/tomato/avocado with fries. Everything was very fresh and the fries were perfect. Highly recommended!”
