Super fun little knick knacky spot. Kind of feels like you're in an 80's sitcom hangout. The ladies are very sweet! The food was quite good, including a gluten-free selection. If I lived a little closer I would be a regular- but instead I'll be an occasional visitor. Either way, I'll definitely be back!

I've been coming for years. My favorite place to get a sandwich! And gelato, of course. A few gluten free pastries baked daily, great tea selection, and good coffee. Not easy for large groups but great for small get togethers. Order ahead on their site or by phone. Really friendly staff ever time.

4 words: gluten free French toast! It was delicious. I hadn't had French toast in almost 3.5 years since becoming gluten intolerant, and felt great after! They also have other gluten free options and great bacon. We showed up right at opening, 6am, after driving 11.5 hours on a road trip. The kindness of the waitress and great food made for a great start to the day :)

OMG, just SO GOOD! My friend and I stopped here on our way to Temecula - it's really hard to find vegan food as is, but GOOD vegan food is impossible UNTIL NOW! We shared the guac which was outstanding! Then when our food came, our jaws hit the floor! Beautiful presentation and huge portions! My friend got a burrito the size of her head lol and I got the Gordita Plate (Gluten Free option) and added cheese and sour cream. I don't have words to describe how delicious everything was! The cucumber drink was so refreshing and the horchata was perfectly sweet as my liquid dessert. I can't wait to go back!

Great dinner place to go as a couple or a group! We went here for New Year’s Eve. They made it festive with decorations and a preset menu to help things more quickly and smoothly with more people coming in. I had the short rib, and it was delicious!! Our server was friendly, helpful with my questions about gluten free options, and made our dinner a good experience. The views were beautiful. They had live music upstairs. We’d love to come back again!

The good is that there are gluten free items on their menu and staff seemed knowledgeable. Staff were friendly and nice. Prices were high. Presentation was very nice on items ordered. The shrimp cocktail very good and not skimpy. The octopus starter dish Super chewy, not done properly. MaiTai was very good. Old Fashions came with nothing to stir with so folks were complaining about that. The Tiger Shrimp and Grits...shrimp was good, the grits were too thick and gummy, the whole plate very salty. Over all a meh experience and we won't be going back. Too expensive for a meh experience.

Great location with easy access and parking. Beautiful interior seating, some with views of the brewery. Great outdoor seating too. Very friendly and helpful employees. Extensive beer selections, many made on site. The food selections were so good that it was difficult to select something. My wife ordered Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA and Blackened Salmon which she described as "buttery". I selected Stone Delicious Double IPA and Fish and Chips which is just right breaded. They also have beer that is fermented in a manner that breaks down and removes gluten, rendering gluten levels so significantly that the beer qualifies as a “gluten-reduced” ale per the FDA. We were given a taste, and want to try it the next time that we are in Escondido.

Please be careful what you order, their brisket or BBQ, or both, are marinated or cooked in something that eliminates the gluten free option. We are not sure which entree was the culprit, please double check how the meat is cooked when you order. Besides our GF reaction, go with the St. Louis BBQ sauce, their house sauce is bland. Adding brisket to the salad was a good option, but the brisket was cold, so it did not add to the greens. We absolutely enjoyed the cole slaw, perfectly flavored and just wet enough. We were split with the BBQ, it was average, nothing memorable, just filling.

For what it is - a very humble taco shop - it was good. I must eat gluten free - I did not get sick after having rice/beans/ bean tostada/ beef taco. The man at the register was able to answer my questions about ingredients. The beef taco was full of like-roast-beef and was squeezed close at the top so that the filling stayed inside. All tacos should be that way! It was fried till crisp and NOT GREASY! So good! My normal-eating husband liked the carnitas burrito and was unable to finish it. This place is NOT a looker, and the food comes in styrofoam boxes. The salsa bar is especially humble. But ( I presumed) local working guys were in and out the whole time - this place feeds the neighborhood ( lots of small businesses, again NOT a looker). Have a taco here! I'll order two next time.

Menu has Gluten Free items clearly marked. Very good margarita, excellent atmosphere, good service. Salsa and guacamole are mild, and it felt like everything needed a lot of salt, but we enjoyed ourselves.
