“Awesome staff and great food.🤩“

“we stopped in for just some quick pancit and lumpia tonight. it was delicious. highly recommend. the service was impeccable the order was quick. Definitely going back.“

“We were there when they opened this morning, and that entire team of workers was ready for the 15 or so people waiting to get in!. My dutch baby was fantastic!“

“Larry (& now his son) have been serving myself and my family for close to 20 years now. Excellent food, every single time. When my brother and I specifically visit, we are always greeted with a big smile and a fist bump. Larry knows I like sitting outside, and always wipes off the table for me, I appreciate that more than I think he knows. Gyro salad is my go to, but the wraps and plates are just as good 👍“

“Great atmosphere, great service , Great Food 🍶“

“Wonderful pizza at reasonable price. The sauce was excellent! It did not overwhelm the pizza. The crust was excellent! Everything was perfect ! Most of all we appreciated the great customer service friendly, considerate and sincere! We’re from Nevada and wish there was a location here. Will definitely go back when we are in town again.“

“Legit!! Had the shrimp and pork dumplings, chili wontons, scallion pancake beef roll, spicy cucumbers, and sauteed broccoli.

New owners were super nice. Only feedback is that the acoustics are rough - it's loud in there.“

“This place holds a special place in my heart. I grew up in Poway, and back then, this was the cheapest way to fill your stomach. To my surprise, it still is!!

I love the California burrito here, and although it’s different from what one would normally classify as a “California burrito,” it remains one of my favorite renditions of the dish. Back when I was living out of state, even if I only had one night to visit SD, I’d spend my dinner here every single time without fail.“

“Looking for a replacement Chinese Restaurant, since my favorite closed down. Ran out of options in Poway. So decided to give 369 a try. They had a few Chinese options, so tried the Broccoli Beef lunch special. I was pleasantly surprise, very good flavor and large portions. The regular portion would feed two. They also sell Beef Chow Fun. I normally have to get this at a sit down place. Theirs is pretty good. One day I will try the Ramen.“

“Great food, fantastic beer selection, phenomenal staff all wrapped up in a very cool space!“

“Great food, friendly staff. The food is literally home cooked. I travel for work quite often and when I find a place that serves good Hispanic food I have to try it, eating at Lupe's made me think I was in my mother-in-law's kitchen! Make it a point to eat there!“

“Small shop with amazing flavors. Drinks are bottled but decent variety from coke to ginger beer and beyond. Outdoor eating only but is cozy and charming. Definitely worth a try if you like Mediterranean food. The staff is wonderful and friendly.“

“This place is always good , no matter what you get. It's a favorite go to of a friend of mines.

Their staff is friendly their food is authentic, and their chiles quiles and Mexican egg benedicts are phenomenal.

Their margaritas are the right proportions and their mimosas are generous.

10/10 totally great. Will absolutley be going again,( probably sometime this week honestly) 😄“

“The food was very good and the waitress was very friendly. It’s very clean inside the restaurant.“

“Nice addition to Scripps Ranch suburbia with good food and nice staff.
It is finally getting busier and hopefully they stick around for a while.
Wish they had happy hour as this would bring more locals in.
Parking can be a hassle on busy evenings.“

“Yesterday wasn't our first time here and there is a reason why - the food is simply great! My son loves their meatball pho which comes with a healthy amount of noodles, meatballs and is delicious. My daughter loves their fried tofu in the appetizer section. Special mention to their grilled pork and fried rice as well, the fried rice was street style and yummy. The ambience is casual and let your hair down. Great for dine in and take out.“

“I was craving shrimp lo mein and looked for a Chinese restaurant while I was in the area. Glad I found this place!

Upon entering, the friendly waitress greeted me and seated me right away. I was in luck that shrimp lo mein was on the lunch special menu. Their lunch special is offered every day of the week. And what a deal!

I opted for the hot and sour soup and it was delicious. The portion was a good size too. I ended up not eating the white rice that came with the order because I was full after the soup, shrimp lo mein, and eggroll. Take advantage of the lunch specials!“

“This was our first time to Franco’s and we will be back. Breakfast was delicious, and the cranberry muffin was to die for. I recommend you give this place a try.“

“Excelente comida!!! Todo con un sazón espléndido…. Gracias por su magnífica comida!!!“

“Overall pretty darn good pizza at a reasonable price!

However, I have an issue with the margherita pizza.

tl;dr: It is rather lame

Read on: If you've ever had a real margherita pizza with sweet slices of roma tomato and whole / torn basil leaves, this will leave you wanting.

If you don't like tomato and basil, don't order a margherita pizza... but if you DO like tomato and basil, this one will disappoint you.

Pacific Pizza: please rethink this approach...this is maybe not the pie to cut costs on given the relatively inexpensive ingredients.

The San Diego and Hawaiian are family faves...but my vegetarian child thinks your margherita pizza is lame...and I (as the payor) agree...so we will not likely be back until / unless this is improved.“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“I love this place. Fish is fresh, sauces are tasty, method of preparation is sanitary and service is quick. Also love that I can order online and when I get there it’s paid for and ready. The staff is always friendly and I try to go there once a week.“

“The Not-so-Tots are great. Order them with no liquid cheese, only shredded cheese (unless you like liquid imitation cheese). The chili cheese dogs are pretty good too. The hamburgers, are pretty awful. Every time I have ordered one, the meat has been stale. That kind of almost rancid fat taste. I gave it 4 stars overall, because tater tot nachos? Doesn't get much better than that. Atmosphere is lacking, the tables are crowded together, and they're always busy, so service is so-so.“

“They have the best pita gyro I have had. They make their own marinade for their chicken and salad dressing which are both so good. Hope they will open in Temecula!“

“Amazing selection of sandwiches. I had a steak, mushroom, cheddar, and steak sauce sandwich and it was amazing. I think I could go back there every day for about two months and have a different delicious sandwich every time! Highly highly highly recommend this place.“

“Went in last night with my daughter. Got the chicken penne pasta which was tasty, but the chicken could definitely be more tender. Recieved exceptional service from our waiter, Kevin despite the resturaunt being pretty busy. Impressive selection of beers and plenty of tv's, a pool table, and a shuffle board make it difficult to be bored. I will be back!“

“Fantastic food and ambiance. Very friendly and courteous staff! Kudos! Well done!“

“Such a charming little spot! I came in alone and sat by the window — it was peaceful and lovely. I ordered a cappuccino and their famous eggs benedict, and both were incredible. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the hollandaise had the right amount of tang. The staff was sweet and didn’t rush me at all. Great place to enjoy a quiet breakfast or get some work done.“

“After a walk or after a series design, I get hungry and sometimes have a hankering for Mexican food. This little gem in the strip mall is a consistent great stop. The owner is always smiling.. I do not think I have ever seen him not smile. They have two cooks that are always there. Food is always consistent. Great spot for Carne Asada burrito, or tacos...of course they have much more. Come down and have some chow. Oh yes, the salsa bar is amazing...“

“Everything is cooked fresh to order, had the popular steak sandwich. The flavor is excellent and cooked to perfection. It has that nice slow heat with sweetness on the front. They pile on the meat so it was very filling.“

“Pizza is always delicious. We order the large white pizza and add sausage, olive and onion and it was over $60 for that one pizza. No thanks.

The waitress was an older white lady and couldn't understand our order. She got really upset and frustrated and then I got frustrated. We should have just left then , but my mother in law was hungry.“

“Good food but I never get the right order 😏“

“Love their Bento Box! Tempura veggies, salad , California roll, teriyaki chicken are delicious 😋 Fast & friendly service.“

“I called in my order and had been waiting but they did not put in my order and had to wait another 25 mins. So the Asst Supervisor comp my order. Thank you Samantha and Candice.“

“Been going for years..Great, delicious food that tastes so good you can only expect to stuff your face 😋 It's got the flavor of the authentic BBQ w/char, beef pork and chicken meat falling off the bone ..with a perfect sauce that doesn't taste like it's full of sugar or fake ingredients..It instead tastes like years worth of perfected quality. The staff and service is also very caring and helpful, making sure everything is to your exact liking. Super!“

“Absolutely awesome food . Never disappoints👌“

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“Loved everything about the experience, the gentleman who took our order was so friendly and answered our questions, realized we had little ones and brought us water cups and plates without us asking. There is a great natural light, soft music so you can still socialize and the fooood, it was so gooooood, everything was good, that's not even an exaggeration. The flavor omggggg, please stop and eat here.“

“HUUUGE and delicious carne fries. I’ve been hunting for some decent carne fries in north SD for a while now. Think I’ve found my spot. Costly for the large fries, but also two meals here. Fresh pico, fresh guac, fresh everything - completely unexpected as it was a late night pickup and I assumed I’d be getting the leftover scrapings of whatever they had remaining from today’s service - boy was I wrong. Definitely worth giving them a try!“

“My partner and I stopped in for a change-up in our usual picks. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. The restaurant setting is quaint and familiar feeling. The service was fantastic with both the chef and server being very nice and considerate. The menu is full of different options to try. We ordered the spring rolls and two tofu dishes. All of it was good and freshly cooked. Remember to give the food a minute to cool down before you dive in. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is from not being wowed, but it's not a bad thing. It's a staple food spot with standard food taste and quality. You won't be upset stopping by, but you maybe wouldn't go out of your way ro try it again if you weren't in the area.“

“Love the Shrimp 🍤 Curry along with great customer service“

“La comida mexicana más deliciosa que hemos comido en Cali so far. The most delicious Mexican food we have eaten in Cali so far“

“Great food I had a bowl of Vietnamese favorite pho and love is“

“The first pizza they made for us rolled off the oven conveyor and fell flat on the floor. They needed to make it again adding to our wait. Food was good though. Music was too loud. The girl at the counter didn't seem interested in being there.“

“the restaurant serves up yummy Persian food at a good value 😋 the photo is just half of the Greek salad (with chicken kebab). excuse my addition of their yogurt sauce!“

“I love this place because you can always count on them being open during the holidays. I work in the service industry and work every holiday; and while most taco shops are closed within all the surrounding areas, our boy Oscar awlays comes through. I went last night and you bet your sweet tuchus I'm going again tonight. LOVE YOU OSCAR“

“Love this place! Only wish We had one in Escondido!!“
