“? ? ? 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.”

“This place is awesome from great quality to customer service , Sean and Laura are very nice. I really recommend this place , so far I’ve tried the chicken chipotle torta ( bomb). Horchata oatmeal water ( the best ) . Fruit salads are very delicious as well. People you should give it a try, you won’t regret it.”

“Yummy and delivery to my front door!!”

“Outstanding bar and grill!!”

“very busy but got my order quickly”

“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!”

“Very large Italian restaurant with good authentic food and large serving sizes. This place also doubles as a venue. The place has tons of seating and cute Italian decor throughout”

“My girlfriend and I LOVE this place! Discovered it by accident two years ago when I moved to Carlsbad… I live an hour and a half north now but still a mandatory stop for us anytime we are in the area! Everyone working there is so friendly and you can’t beat the service!”

“excelente servicio y atención de 5 *”

“Family owned Italian restaurant with pride in everything that they do and everything they serve. Our meal was perfect, from the homemade bread to my pasta primavera and the spumoni after the meal. We got the opportunity to chat with one of the family members about the history of this fine eatery and that just reinforced the dining experience. It is like family there; our server was in her 14th year. They must be doing something right!

Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled spaces a short distance away. Room for all sized wheelchairs inside.”

“Very nice little deli. Spotlessly clean, food is served is appetizingly presented and obviously made with care. The macaroni salad was a bit watery, but that is the only minor detail. Recommended.”

“Glad I've been introduced me to this place!! Great beer, people, location, and food! Favorite wings in town!! Bring your pups as they have a front patio too!!”

“Yummy 🤤burgers 🍔🍟 and good 👍🏻 breakfast 🍳/big Jim’s”

“The food was delicious, presentation was nice - notice the heart shaped rice🤍The service was very friendly. It’s great to have such a yummy Thai restaurant so close, too! I went with a girlfriend and can’t wait to take my hubby”

“It’s was so amazing and delicious!!! First time from Texas here and will be back again… Golden”

“One of the best food trucks in North County. Authentic ensenada fish & shrimp tacos. Made from there family recipe that originated in Ensenada ! Now these Tacos & burritos are actually better that the Mexican original as Meche's adds tomatoes and proprietary ingredients to upgrade what they offer. Very comfortably the best fish tacos of any food truck.”

“A community gem ?!!!! Extraordinary customer service and delicious food, A combination that is rare!! We were extremely happy with our food , we had de cocktail de campechana , fish taco, pulpo taco, enamorado pulpo taco and adobada. The food is cool to order and the seafood is as fresh as it gets. Needless to say, we will become regulars and everyone in the community and surroundings should come try them.”

“We came with the whole family (7 of us) from San Diego & Murrieta because based on its menu Los Cabos in Vista offered all the types of seafood (raw oysters, whole fish with head and tail, shrimp, octopus). Everything including the tacos we ordered was so finger-licking good!!! Compliments to the chefs! And best of all was the service from Beyonce & Karina - quick, helpful, friendly!!! Our only suggestion would be to please add oxtail to the menu!!! Gracias a todos.”

“I've been coming to Twisted Horn regularly for years and love it. Between the live music, food trucks, game nights, atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly, amazing mead there isn't anything missing.”

“This is where my wife and I met on our first date . It holds significant emotional meaning but it's also simply amazing food. we never have any issue and we bring family and friends here often.”

“Food is awesome n delicious”

“"Cat & Craft - Cafe" good”

“the best ! never disappointed”

“This is litterally a hidden Gem, with Cornhole on Thursday Nights and Barbecue to accompany a great selection of beers. I am a sucker for a good Red. If you have been here before, come again and check it out again. If you have never been here come out on Thurday nights, watch some Football, practice your short game or hit the golf simulators or better yet play some Cornhole with North County Cornhole. No experience necessary, just bring yourself and a friend if you'd like. NCC will take care of the rest.”

“Great place to eat fresh and hand made food, the best Chinese food in Vista.”

“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.”

“Football Baseball family owened always fun with my POT fam!!!”

“I got catfished by the website photos 🤦‍♂️

Look I don’t want to bash a restaurant, hence why I’m still giving 4 stars… and let’s be honest, even mediocre dumplings are still better than most food options out there.

But there’s a lot of room for improvement so I’ll keep things honest and maybe someone will care enough to use the feedback.

Let’s start with the good stuff… the garlic green beans were why far the best part of the meal. Huge portion, cooked perfectly, and stole the show.

Overall, very reasonable prices but if day charge more and increase quality and freshness of the food. Maybe it’s just not the best area to increase prices so I get it.

I went to this spot for the duck… but it looked nothing like the website photo. No crisp and mostly bone… just go with something else because duck isn’t this spots strong suit.

I’m 99% sure the Xiao Long Bao were straight outa the frozen goods aisle at Costco.

Rule of thumb for the future… if a dumpling spot isn’t making the dumplings out in the open, just find a new spot or don’t order dumplings.

Now I gotta say, they over delivered on the potion size of the shrimp fried rice portion but not many shrimp to be found in the pile of rice.

Overall, good spot if you’re high as a kite and looking for some affordable and big portion sizes to kill your Asian food craving. But if you’re looking for some fresh dumplings, you’ll find a better option 8 miles away over in San Marcos.”

“Loved the customer service especially for my nieces cause they're hungry and picky we got them some rice right away and made plain steamed tofu and my nieces faces lit up with joy when they brought the tofu! thank you for making my birthday dinner great for me and my family! Food was phenomenal my parents definitely want to come back!”

“Recomendado buen servicio mariscos frescos 💯💯”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Surf & Turf Fries is an absolute must-try! This dish is a genius fusion of Mexican flavors with a hearty American twist, and it completely blew me away.

The portion was huge, making it great for sharing (or not—no judgment here!).

What really stood out was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The shrimp tasted buttery and well-seasoned, every element worked together in harmony, creating a mouthwatering experience I’ll definitely be coming back for.”

“We go here every week to buy fresh corn tortillas. We also have started buying the fresh chorizo. It’s tastier here than another competing market down the road 👍 I wish they sold more salsas, but that’s OK.”

“family oriented and friendly. good fresh food.”

“I ordered the shrimp burrito without the salsa fresco and added avocado. It was very very yummy!! Now I have 2 choices to go to for my shrimp burrito and they're are only a mile apart.”

“Person taking order should let you know if you order a la carte, it is only 1.50 more for combo. Food is ok, large servings. Salsa this day was ok. The next day not so good. Not consistent. Prices have gone up, 14.00 for 2 cheese enchiladas a la carte. 15.50 for combo. 7.00 for 5 rolled tacos.”

“This place was awesome! We drove from Kansas City to check this place out and we were not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic beer and staff!”

“Great place for breakfast and the food is always cooked as ordered. Weekends get busy so prepare to wait. Apple pancake is always a hit to share. Alehida was great and very friendly!”

“I eat here often and every item I have tried is outstanding! Definitely recommend trying, you won’t be disappointed.”

“A-One is a must have every time I am in this area. The food and service is fantastic and consistent. The portions are huge and reasonably priced. I will always support this small business and I hope others will continue to support them as well”

“🙂👍 Matt does a great job!”

“A hidden gem for ☕ coffee in Vista Village!! Warm greeting from Barista & they have great coffee for those that appreciate a high quality cup of coffee!! Mostly expresso drinks, not a hugh menu but quality over quantity Is evident since they roast their own beans!! Cozy place to sit indoors w/ games & books. They offer a rewards program too👍!! My new fav spot!!🥰”

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint”

“Flavorful food served fast! Definitely coming back here :)”

“As soon as I turned onto Main St., I knew this restaurant was going to be awesome.
From the sidewalk patio chairs and tables setup on the ‘curb’, to the old school decor, the paintings for sale, the classic crayons, and the age of their espresso machine (according to my barista son), this place did not disappoint.
We opened with the #1 voted Cinnamon Roll, just enough for the 6 of us. Excellent!!!
My family ordered the BigBird (BLT on toasted sourdough), a BLTA (BLT with avocado), the Monte Cristo, the Chicken Fried Steak, a short stack and mine was the Chorizo Omellette.
Once my plate landed, the aroma of the chorizo pulled me in and I was smitten.
Next time I’m in Vista, I’m eating here.
I posted a pic of my finished plate, you want to see what it looks like before, go here and order it. You won’t be disappointed.
I will be back.”

“A buddy of mine took me to this small joint Mexican restaurant in Vista. We both order Cani Asada burrito ?. The cashier lady is super friendly. The burrito is tasty and made just the way it should be. Meat, Fresca salsa, quacamole.! No BS rice and bean. Another bonus is chips and salsa included with your order.
Being away from San Diego for so long and unable to find a decent Mexican restaurant with authentic foods. This place hit all the spots.
Wish the meat a little bit rare, but I am satisfied with the meal. I definitely will stop by again when I am in the area. ??”

“We made the drive from LEGOLAND since this place had the best reviews in the area for pizza. It was definitely worth the drive. Louie, the owner, made some excellent pizzas for the family (including some picky kids) to enjoy. He knew the regulars by name, which is always a great sign.

The pizza was excellent, a thinner and crispy crust with a good amount of toppings. The pepperoni was perfectly caramelized with a bit of crunch, just the way I like it. Great service too, with a quaint atmosphere.

I will go out of my way to come again on our short trip from out of town.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids and families dining here. Lots of TVs to distract them with too.”

“Omg i love this coffee! Its so refreshing and the taste is very balanced. I got the marzipan with soy milk. 🥰 definitely one of my most fav coffee around the area”

“Best food I’ve had in years! So glad you’re here in Temecula, can’t wait to go back!!”

“Theor pizza is really good. I love their wings. I ordered them extra crispy and they made them perfectly. My son referred me to come here. I didn't even know this gem was so close. I'll be back. However, I tried to find them on social media to post a review and couldn't find them. I think they would get more local traffic if they had a fb and ig page. The owners are super sweet and the food came out perfect.”

“Absolutely fantastic Katsu and short ribs. The curry Katsu was also very good. Big portions, quality food. Ordered some food through door dash, so I can't comment on service or atmosphere.”

“My Family LOVES Uppercrust. Amazing food and a great place to go with the family. Large variety of Affordable lunch specials

Parking: Large parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Game room and TVs”

“Love this place every local in vista definitely goes here I grew up here and this is my favorite childhood restaurant I go out of my way to eat here any chance I get.

“The pizza was super yummy! The crust was thin, but not too thin and the toppings were great! Also great service from management. Definitely recommend trying this location.”

“Great staff good food good drink and right down the street. It always going to be a good time ….”

“This is my favorite Flippin’ location (Vista). The taste of the food is consistent, staff is friendly, and it’s always clean. I will bypass other locations for this one, because the others I tried did not taste as well!”

“Mimosas, shot del patron,cazuelas mazapan lover,unas cuantas de las tantas bebidas que ofrece el restaurant vamos a texcoco en vista ca, riquisima comida, bebidas y ni que decir de la atencion, una chulada”

“No sabes a donde ir a comer?, ve ahí y no te arrepentirás.”

“Sometimes they have food. Mostly that which a regular brought in to share. There diamond pool tables. Best players I've played against so if you go for a challenge, like I do, you will only be disappointed by the wait. Not always long, but it is mostly. With it for the experience.

They take cards now. Not a great selection of booze or beer. Basically lower end and someone l domestics.”

“Good customer service and great food!!!”

“I love Rubio's. Their fish tacos are consistently good. I wish they still had the mango mahi-mahi, but the wild-caught mahi-mahi is good, too. The staff here is always friendly and helpful, even when I mess up my own mobile order. Thanks to Rubio's for good food and good people.”

“So much bang for a small buck. I ordered a small strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I got a huge serving of ice cream in a nicely sized waffle cone. There were massive chunks of cheesecake in the ice cream which had me whooping and hollering. Kind server gave me a cup, spoon, abd extra napkins. If you're ever cloudy, come here for a ray of flavorful sunshine. Brightened my day.!”

“My all-time favorite pan dulce is an empanada de Calabasa which for some reason aren't made at all panaderias. THANKFULLY this spot has them along with all the other delicious Mexican sweet bread and some out of this world breakfast sandwiches. I made sure to stock up for the weekend and am currently doing my yum yum happy dance as I enjoy one with my coffee.”

“Great, love it. Hidden gem in Vista. Having special 12 cupcakes 🧁 just $30.00.”

“First time eating here. Was working in the area and looked up taco shops near by and found this place and saw great reviews. This place lived up to the reviews. I believe it has a new name from what I saw inside it said Raskals Taco Shop. If your ever near by, definitely consider checking this place out. It was clean and ambient and service was great. Definitely recommend this place 💯. The carne asada nachos were fire! 🔥”

“Love the smooth velvety taste and texture of their froyo! I like the no sugar added flavor. keep an eye on the price tho... once a girl charged me $15 for two cups but the next day a different girl charged only $8 for the same amount!”

“Domino’s needs to be shut down!!!! I ordered a simple pepperoni pizza, lg. also an order of garlic knotts for delivery. They delivery driver quilted me $35.00. I said r u kidding me. The pizza was horrible! They said when I called later it was $17.99 plus the garlic knotts were 5.99. Delivery guy was 6 bucks. Total was 35.00. Terrible terrible pizza. I will never order from them again!!!! I only did because my son ordered it for me cause I’m handicapped,unable to pick up stuff. Not only that but they don’t even carry Parmesan or red pepper upon delivery. They probly charge extra for that too. Wow! I called the next day and the girl on the phone would not even even acknowledge me. I had to ask if she was still there. I hope they get shut down!!!!!!!!!”

“This place right down the street from my home. I have been going here for years now & will continue to do so. Everyone is very friendly & the donuts are delicious. Yesterday my husband and I stopped by at noon to pick up 3 dozens of donuts to take to our cousins viewing in Tj. We told this to the lady helping us, then she said "wait, let me give you something!" And she gave us 1 dozen donuts for FREE! Her kindness just brought joy to my heart & we thank her for her beautiful action. You all have a blessed weekend.”

“North Coast Church Coffee House is one of the best. They serve the best coffees under the Lord’s name. The staff are always smiling, and cheerful. Thanks for a place to hang out, or have a bible study session.”
