“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 🍶“

“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.“

“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.“

“How did I not know about this place sooner! Seriously, I think people keep it secret. Well, I’m not! The tacos are small, they are street tacos but don’t be fooled…they a filled to the brim. The fish tacos are delicious, I’m a huge fan of the carnitas tacos that are bursting with flavor. We enjoy ordering chips and beans to start and don’t forget to try the roasted Jalapeños. So much food and for great prices! Go, just go! There is seating inside and out. Nothing fancy but the service is top notch and the food is great.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great service“

“I had a fantastic experience at Lienzo Charro Mexican Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavor, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and hot. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!“

“This place is great in all aspects. Food is served fast, delicious, and portions are generous. Plenty of variety on their menu, than other places. Prices are very reasonable than others in local area. They also are tech friendly with taking your order via tablet or you can also have the option to order with a server at your table. Ive also order food for my work lunch break and they are very convenient and fast to have my order ready by the time I arrive so I can enjoy my meal and my lunch break. Love the staff thats very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place to anyone and plan on bringing my friends and family members here to eat. This is my new favorite spot to eat Vietnamese food and Im sure it will be yours too. Enjoy!“

“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.“

“We have been going there for over 20 years. The food and service is always good. Not fancy but the food is good. It is in a mall area easy to park with no problems. You can always count on a good meal and reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Great service, very friendly, went in for apps and a drink, stayed for a meal! First splitting some wings, then had the flatbread, it was great, and my friends pasta and salad looked fantastic aswell.
One of the most comfortable little restaurants in poway!“

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

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“Hawaiian BBQ in Poway? I always wanted to try it, but was a little skeptical of location. This Groupon gave us the courage to try it and boy were we surprised by the wonderful seasoning of the food and generous portions. Ono kine grindz! Broke da mouf! 5 BIG SHAKAS for Ipo Hawaiian BBQ.“

“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👌“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“
