“We come here a lot. It’s a go to every time we have company from out of town that like seafood. Very good service too.“

“Buen lugar para desahogar penas jaja echar una chela, un trago y pasarla bien un rato.“

“This is probably the best Mexican food that I have ever had in recent years. Their carne asada is to die for - with the most generous portioned meat, cooked to perfection, and not greasy at all. Their grilled fish was amazingly good. So does their fish soup. Love their freshly made hot tortillas and yummy salsa. Because of COVID, they also have an outside covered seating area. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.“

“? ? ? Great vibes, lots of bar seating, TVs to watch the game, and a great happy hour menu from 3-6. I like the IPA and the Mango wheat beer. They have plenty of food options with a good burger and fried chicken sandwich.

There’s a small parking lot if you take the first left after passing Prey Brewing.“

“Justin was a wonderful host! We had a tour and explanation of all the products they produce. We were visiting from PA, our friend from Vista became a member. Highly recommend this establishment for the atmosphere as well as the libations.“

“Hands down the best meal I’ve had in San Diego County. The halibut was absolutely delicious—whether you’re a seafood fan or not, it’s worth ordering. I added a side of caviar which elevated the dish even more. The noodles were also incredible, rich in flavor and perfectly prepared. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The ambience is on the louder side and the space was bustling, but the energy added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for a memorable night out.“

“Seemed like an excellent local watering hole!!!“

“Loving it! Awesome people!“

“Beautiful property with a beautiful setting for Pacific Point. Food and drinks where fine, the lobster roll was decent but a lot more bread than lobster meat. The wood fired bread was interesting and the complimentary olives and almonds where nice. I wanted to try the evening sushi here but didn't have time, perhaps next time.“

“The burgers are delicious. A quality smash burger that is super crispy. The fries were so so, not quite hot enough. A friend had the fish sandwich and that was super bland - do not recommend. Sitting outside was great! Dog friendly. Full bar. Will be back!“

“It's absolutely one of the coolest spots in Vista. This is a speak easy themed bar that hits all the right points. From the moment you walk inside, you're enveloped in a cool old timey vibe that pulls you out of your daily grind.

They have tons of delicious hand crafted cocktails, as well as a house distilled vodka that has great origin. All of the Misadventure Vodka is made from breads, muffins, and other confectionery carbohydrates that would have become food waste. It tatse amazing, and it's truly unique compared to any other vodka you will find on the market. Other local distilled spirits are also featured on their menu. If you are about supporting local business, then this is the place for you.

The food is excellent. They have several great charcuterie boards, and snack like offering. Additionally, they have more substantial foods like paninis and salads if you are in the mood for a luch or dinner.

This place is far bigger than you would expect looking at it from the outside. There are 2 additional rooms tucked away after you pass through the large main room and lots of outdoor seating. It's easy to find parking around here as well. There is a large parking lot and street parking if that has filled up.

Don't miss out on coming here. It's a unique and fun experience, the staff is wonderful and accommodating. Even if you don't drink or are being the DD, they feature lots of cocktails to enjoy.“

She is so kind and sweet but just know, anyone gets tight with her, you’re gonna deal with the whole community. She’s spicy! She’s the truth. Great drinks. Just ask her for a surprise. She’s knows a lot of them and crafts them. Tip her! She will have your back and keep everyone safe. Just trust me on that haha she will regulate if need be. Karaoke is so fun and friendly with a lot of funny and amazing people. They always put their community first. They always have. Keep it up Smittys. Love you“

“Lovely local brunch spot with a fresh breakfast menu. Nothing felt greasy and portions are more than fair for the price. The staff is also very sweet.
My recent addiction is their Ube Latte - sub with coconut milk. Perfect for someone who wants a cozy drink but isn't a coffee lover.“

“My drink was perfect and the bartender was nice. My friend and I were the only women there besides the bartender. It was a comfortable, cool place to relax and visit... until the music got turned up loud around 4 pm, then we had to leave...“

“Delicious brunch at Cocina de Barrio! We are big fans of the chain and this was our first time at this location and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Tia Chata drink which has a coconut popsicle that was a lot of fun as well as a blonde ale. For entrees we had the salmon hash and sopes benny. We sat on the dog friendly patio. The service was very friendly and quick, water always getting refilled. The restrooms have changing tables. Recommend, everything on the menu tastes amazing.“

“the best ! never disappointed“

“Nine of us had lunch here on a busy Saturday-glad we had reservations! The waitress did a fabulous job taking care of us and all our many requests. The food was excellent as well-the only exception might be the funfetti pancakes, which were a little sweet. My one BIG complaint was the LOUD MUSIC, especially the THUMPING BASS. I asked several times if they could turn down the volume, but no luck. I want to preserve my hearing, and for that reason I will not dine here again.“

“Doug is the owner of T13 and he has opened his doors to host our King Tide Challenge event. We are so stoked to have a local spot that is so perfect“

“Best all you can eat sushi in north county“

“Good selection of traditionally made additive free tequilas“

“We decided to try Bellamy’s for the first time and happened to mention to the hostess while making our reservation that we were celebrating our 64th wedding anniversary. When we arrived, We were warmly welcomed first by the bartender who seated us and then by the hostess who enthusiastically congratulated us and offered something special. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and perfectly timed our meal selections. The food was outstanding. First we had the watermelon salad which was wonderful. Then the calamari and shrimp appetizers - yum! My husband enjoyed the cioppino and I had the seabass - all perfectly prepared and delicious. We topped it off with a creme brulee and the butter cake! Needless to say we enjoyed every bite. This was a perfect choice for our anniversary and we intend to return for another culinary experience at Bellamy’s.“

“I love this place the pizza is amazing!“

“Delicious authentic Thai food.... I've tried a number of different dishes but always circle back to the spicy basil with chicken. Their soups are also a hit. For dessert, try the banana sticky rice. You won't regret it!

Wheelchair accessibility: Thai One On is on the first floor with easy access and disabled parking spots right out front.“

“Quite a wonderful golf course pool view to enjoy a lovely sundown dinner. The service was terrific from start to finish. The food was tasty and presented beautifully. The efficiency and attention to detail was lovely. Definitely a resort highlight.“

“My favorite place in North County San Diego. The nachos are to die for“

“Love this place. Great dogs, great burgers. Good chili for the top, and wow the chipotle aioli sauce, for real.The Hawaiian roll buns really make the food stand out from other burger/dog places.They have a decent beer selection, wish they had a few local meads as well, though. They do usually have a couple ciders on tap and apparently now come in a liter glass. ?Nice outdoor patio, and dog friendly.“
