“Came with a few friends, clean quiet place to eat, waitress was nice and friendly. Took a while for the food to come but overall it was good. Would recommend most rolls except the surf and turf, weird flavor combination but still decent. A little pricy but a good experience to go and eat. Would come back again.“

“good sushi, and the teriyaki samon is delicious.“

“Today was our first time visiting, and to be perfectly honest, this will be our new go to for sushi, even though we live in Ramona. Everything from the appetizers to the drinks and service was great. It seems like it would be a great spot for game or fight nights as well!“

“found the Las Vegas Sayulitas 2 yrs ago when staying at the Luxor. there burritos are beyond spectacular. big and so delicious. I can't say it enough. and the sauces on the little sauce bar are outstanding. I've never had anything like those sauces. the hot green sauce and hot red sauce are phenomenal. I like the green the best. I lived in AZ years ago. went back home to upstate NY. there is no place near me that even comes close. I love Sayulitas and wish I had one near me. you can't go wrong if you love Mexican style food“

“My lunchtime experience at Que Tortas! left me thoroughly impressed with their delicious tortas and excellent service. Here's a detailed review of my visit:Arriving at Que Tortas!, I found parking to be a breeze, making the start of my dining experience hassle-free. The small, clean shop has a very welcoming atmosphere, although the loud blender added a touch of humor to the ambiance.The customer service was exceptional, with the staff displaying friendliness and efficiency from the moment I walked in. My order was taken promptly and accurately, and I was delighted to find that my torta was ready in less than 10 minutes. The staff delivered our order to our table with a smile, enhancing the overall dining experience.Now, onto the star of the show – the "QUE TORTA!" torta. Despite initial concerns about the bread size in the pictures, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the torta was generously filled, with just the right amount of bread to complement the fillings. The torta bread itself was a highlight, striking the perfect balance between softness and crunch, thanks to its slightly toasted exterior. The combination of ham, veggies, and sauce mixed together perfectly. I devoured the torta without pausing for anything else, thoroughly enjoying every moment.In conclusion, Que Tortas! offers a delightful dining experience with their delicious tortas and friendly service. The deceptive pictures may suggest otherwise, but rest assured, the tortas are generously filled and bursting with flavor. I, for one, am already planning my return visit to indulge in more of these irresistible tortas.“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“🙂👍 Tony is awesome!“

“Festejando el cumpleaños de mi hijo súper rico todo!! Las ensaladas riquísimas“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area the best in San Marcos.. my only disappointment is the wonton soup here on the west coast!! Back on the east coast the wonton noodles are large and very doughy here the are small and soft. Hard large wonton noodles in my soup. Still the best I have found other then Philadelphia and New York Chinese restaurants.“

“We love Shores. With football now starting, it is not so great. It is known as a Packers bar. Today there were 6 Packers fan and the rest of the other team fans had to listen to the loud Packers game. Also, one bartender saved seats for over 2 hours for people who didn't show up. That is not right for everyone who shiftwd seats to accommodate the regular guests. Not "shore" if we'll be back during football. I hope Pete figures it out.“

“Loved this hidden gem. We’ll be back! Everything including wine was delicious. 🥰🙏🏼“

“Im actually annoyed that I didn't know about this place sooner. The food was great and a big portion. I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of the gyozas because I inhaled them as I was drying back to work. The thai boba drink was perfect. Like the terminator, I'll be back.“

“much better burgers and fries than the average. with more options on menu including kids and premium signature burguers and salads. just give it a try. The Habit will not disappoint 😉“

“Pulled into the shopping center not knowing this place was here, very glad I stopped in. Food and service is excellent. Got great recommendation on what to get that was more unique to their menu. Bread was fresh and perfect. Pickled veggies were delicious. Grilled pork was excellent. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.“

“Great pizza and the owners are wonderful caring people.“

“spring rolls, pot stickers, green curry, spicy fried rice. Everything I have tried I like. Fast friendly service.“

“Just ate here for lunch today with a family of 5. We wanted a booth but they were just slightly too small so we had to sit at a regular table. Not a problem actually as all of the seats are padded.

We each ordered a lunch menu item, which all come with half-and-half rice and chow mien noodles, plus a small egg drop soup. Lunch items are right around $10 each, and each of us got a heaping plate of food. HIGHLY worth the $10.

We all liked our food. The orange chicken was not too sweet unlike other places (Panda). I got the Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce. Lots of sauce on this one. It ended up leaking out of the container after we got the rest to-go, so be sure to pack your leftovers well. The Beef with Broccoli was great.

We also got the Bunny character buns. They looked cute but I didn't think they had a lot of filling. Not too sweet either.

One thing to note: we noticed that some of the soy sauce bottles have a cracked lid. The one on our table wasn't screwed on tightly so we got soy sauce everywhere and had to exchange with another table. That one also had tape holding the lid together, so be aware.

Also, they only had plastic forks. No metal forks. It's a little tough to eat heavy noodles with plastic forks.

They don't have any beer options that I could see. We all chose water. Total came to $61.66 and we had a lot leftover so you have dinner covered if you eat lunch here.“

“Great atmosphere,delicious food and marvelous customer service.“

“Absolute best Indian food in San Diego county! I love spicy and got the 10 out of 10 chicken dish, which was outstanding. Initially smooth and savory with an after burner bite it was great! On the chicken kebab, which was ridiculously juicy and incredibly marinated full of flavor Last, but not least, they surprised us with dessert, which was a homemade ice cream with hints of pistachio and rosewater. Can’t really say more than that! You really want to have some fun with it order the mango smoothie it’s out of this world! #currylife #curry #indiancuisine #sanmarcos #delicious“

“Umai Sushi is a hidden gem! The sushi is always fresh and delicious—especially the baked salmon roll, which is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The staff is super friendly, and the owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Great service, great food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Very Friendly Atmosphere. The level of spice I asked for is just right amount. I love the taste of my Pad Thai and the noodles is cooked perfectly, its not soggy nor too firm.

I love the thai tea with boba as well, it is on the bigger portion but it tastes great! It’s not too sweet not too bland and the boba is very soft not harden or sits there for too long, you can tell it was made fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Vegetarian options: There are some Tofu and vegetables only dishes!

Kid-friendliness: Has high chair if needed!“

“My coworkers and I would frequent this restaurant often. I would normally get one of the Large Pho bowls but other times I would venture out to Rice Vermicelli Noodles. These noodles were served with lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mints, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts and fish sauce. This instance I got it with grilled chicken and egg rolls. Great food all the time!“

“The food was terrific, came out quickly and the staff was friendly. Nice experience.“

“This has some of the best burgers and onion rings in San Marcos. They also have a delicious gyro sandwich or salad if carb intake is a consideration. We never eat inside, it's always drive through pick-up. I was really surprised at the price increase,however, that is par for the course; that being said the portions are large so you won't be left hungry.“

“Been dropping into this spot for Yeeeeaaars (10+).. always delish. Carne asada, pollo asada, rice, beans, posole, Chile rellenos, rolled tacos, streest tacos ... I've had a few items lol always seasoned well. And great prices for the serving sizes!!“

“everything was delicious and excellent service“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“The food is authentic, service is wonderful! The inside could use a little revamping but whatever. Only giving them 4 stars because they stopped making their AMAZING crema chipotle chicken ???. Second best option is the mole chicken!

Parking: Parking can be a little tricky, may have to park on the hotel side.“

“Fantastic cider. Great staff too!“

“Best pasta west of the Mississippi“

“Great spot good food and the employees are the best“

“Incredible food and service. Pricey, but worth it!“

“los menús muy deliciosos“

“Philly Franks Steaks Carlsbad, CA Got the burger. Not sure what the bread was. It was slightly chewy like a pretzel bun but reminiscent of a decent cheese steak roll. Doesn't really work for the burger itself. The meat wasn't seasoned. The grilled onions had great carmelization. Tasted like Visalia onions, which I think they used for their onion rings (definitely get those). The fries were horrible, unseasoned, soggy. Good thing I got a side of wiz for them. Back to the burger: their secret sauce had a very strong garlic flavor, but tasted like it was seasoned with Mccormick garlic salt. Burger did not blow me away. I would like to try their line of cheese steaks, but if they use their secret sauce on them, then not really. I would give this burger a 2 out of 5. Really not impressed and they should probably just stick to their cheese steaks.“

“Hands down the best pizza in San Marcos! Rocco’s Pizza has become our go-to spot for fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious food. From their perfectly crispy crust to their homemade sauces and generous toppings, every bite is full of flavor. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast whether you’re dining in, picking up, or getting delivery.

If you’re looking for the best local pizza restaurant near San Marcos, Rocco’s Pizza is the place to go. Great for families, date nights, or casual hangouts. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic, high-quality pizza in North County San Diego“

“Good food excelente service nice looking restaurant“

“Today around 6:30 pm my wife, my mother-in-law and myself went to eat our dinner and order several street tacos, including 2 tripas tacos asked those to be crunchy also 2 side orders of birria( in small cups). When the food ordered was arrived to our table we noticed the that the birria cups came without onions and cilantro, a food plate no matter the size of it, every Mexican Restaurant always comes with those 2 ingredients. We asked the waitress and she said that they don’t serve onions and cilantro with those side orders, we asked also for a couple of corn tortillas for the birria and we had the same response, no tortillas for side orders. My wife said to her” how about in a courtesy way to get those items, and again she denied. I asked who was in charge, and a guy who I think was the Cook came over and we asked the same questions. He said that he can bring the onions and cilantro but not the tortillas. My wife said then. “ We paid $50.00 and something else in the dinner and you can not in a courtesy way bring 2 tortillas for the birria?” Then he said to us , No! Then my wife said to him “ Really was expensive what we paid for our tonight dinner!”. He said then everything changed due to the pandemic and that everything will be more expensive! He was kind of rude in his response. Also is very important to mention that the tripas tacos were not crunchy, the meat was more like a chewing humans I needed to reminded about the salsas because they didn’t served with the tacos. It was really bad experience and will never come back to eat there. I don’t recommend the Taco Bar to eat lunch or dinner“
