Before leaving Escondido, I was looking for a lunch spot. Pizza, to be exact, so that I could have…read moresome leftovers for my road trip. After hopping on the trusty Yelp app, I came across Pahua's Bakery & Pizza. I stopped by on a Thursday late morning to place a to-order. Ambiance (2.5/5): Pahua's is no frills. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go type of spot. With it being up in the mountains, I didn't even have any service inside. But anyhow, I was there for takeout so ambiance wasn't important to me. Service (4/5): I placed my order at the counter and my food was ready within the timeframe promised. No complaints. Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any beverages. Food (4/5): As the name entails, Pahua's has both pizza and baked goods. Most of the baked goods are of the Mexican variety. Conchas, churros, etc. I went with a pepperoni pizza. The prices are reasonable here, especially by California standards, which I appreciated. Solid pizza too. Definitely better than the pizza you'll find at a chain. It was exactly what I had hoped for.

I will probably always be ordering that chicken pot pie, though because it's amazing. The side choices are beautiful, too-garden salad, house made chicken noodle soup or minestrone.

Second visit a couple weeks later, skimpy toppings and thin red sauce. Definitely disappointed and not worth the $$. Not sure why the difference, but it was 3 guys working the pizzas the first time, and 2 or 3 ladies the second time. I only noticed because I didn't recognize anyone working that I saw there just a couple weeks prior. I used the app both times, full price. Can't justify the higher prices if you serve the same skimpy product found anywhere else for half the price. I'll gladly try again and pay for what I bought the first time if it is consistent.

The place was not very full but it was 5 PM on a Friday and it looked like it was starting to fill by the time I left.

We were there just before their Happy Hour ended so we got a $2 discount off beers, that's always good.

One of our favorite places to eat. Actually, all the restaurants at Valley View are fantastic…read more Great food options that are typically well served and tasty. We do however have our preferred or favorite servers, food runners and hosts. We prefer and LOVE Monica. Her energy, intelligence, and smile are top notch. Andres a food runner has been there a long time who also has a great personality, and one of the few runners who actually remembers to bring you a requested item. These individuals we've known a long time, and believe they would be better suited as trainers, supervisors or even management. I'd include Tomas in our Patties favorites, but he was moved to Black and Blue Steak House. Another favorite restaurant at Valley View. We're also fans of Michael, and a few others I can't remember their names at the moment, especially an extremely likable, smaller statured food runner who was made a server a few months ago. Having been in management in the plumbing industry I know how important training in one's daily tasks and people skills is to a quality business like Valley View Casino, the only casino we frequent. Unfortunately, bad experiences happen even in the best of establishments. Last night at Patties we had a new server who seemed so serious, barely a smile. Which is fine. I don't mind that so much. Definitely not enduring or memorable though. She did her job well, and even checked to make sure our food tastes good, and if we had all we needed. My main issue came when we got our bill, and I asked her to adjust the tip. I realize how cheap that sounds, but let me continue. When we first were ordering we mentioned we had a lot of food we wanted to take home. It was the end of the month, and we had over a hundred dollars worth of food vouchers we needed to use up. We normally don't have any left over. She excitedly, almost smiling encouraged us to order our takeout right away with her, "otherwise we would have a long wait, if we didn't put our order in right away." We spent just under $60.00 for our sit down meal. Our normal 20% would've been $12.00 on the $60.00. Our to go order was just under $100.00, which I felt definitely deserved a tip, but not the 20% suggested gratuity that the bill included. Maybe we were being cheap. I don't know. The obvious anger on her face when I asked her to adjust the tip was palpable. I asked her to adjust the $32.00, "Suggested Gratuity," to $20.00, which I would've been grateful for the years of being a food server in college. She got 20% for our dining in, and about 10% for our to go order. Not so cheap after all. When she returned with the revised bill, she was so mad she could barely talk. Poor thing. Felt kind of bad for her. She muttered a couple of times I could barely hear her, but kept asking what she said. The third time she said clearer that we shouldn't order to go food with her, that we should go to the to go window next time. She should've been happy for the 20% on the meal, and 10% on the to go order. It all adds up over the shift. We definitely will avoid her at all costs. Next time we'll request our favorites.

3 stars (or whatever fits your vibe--solid but not standout)…read more Honestly, I probably wouldn't drive all the way out here just to eat at Patties & Pints. It's tucked inside Valley View Casino, about 45 minutes north of central San Diego, so unless you're already gambling, staying overnight, or in the area, it's not a destination spot. There are plenty of better standalone burger joints or pubs closer to home. That said, the food is good--nothing mind-blowing or worth raving about, but reliably solid for casino pub fare. We went with burgers from their signature all-beef blend, and they hit the spot without any major complaints. The deep-dish pizzas, wings, fries, and other apps seem consistent based on what I've seen around. Portions are decent, and it's satisfying if you're craving something hearty with a beer. Our server, Marcus, was decent too--just did his job without going above and beyond. Attentive enough, no issues, but nothing exceptional either. One thing that really bugged me: they automatically add a tip (auto-gratuity) even for a two-person table. That's ridiculous in my book. It feels like it removes any incentive for better service and just assumes mediocrity is fine. For small parties in a casual spot like this, it comes off as greedy. The place itself is clean and well-organized, which is a nice change from some casino spots. But it's pretty small for a casino restaurant, so it can feel cramped. Seating/waiting is poorly managed--wait times drag on, and the system for calling names or seating people isn't smooth at all. Bottom line: If you're already at Valley View Casino, hungry, and don't feel like dealing with the buffet line (or want something quicker and more casual with beers and TVs for games), Patties & Pints is a fine option. It's convenient in that context. Otherwise, skip the drive--it's just average casino eats. Good luck, and hope the slots are kinder than the auto-tip policy!

RINCON TRAVEL PLAZA - I've been a regular customer at this…read morefuel station, but the current pricing policy is frustrating in practice. They no longer provide fuel prices over the phone, which is their choice as a business. The issue is the inconsistency in how it's applied--while exact pricing isn't shared, there are still comparisons made to nearby stations when asked. That creates confusion rather than clarity. In a commodity market like fuel, customers make decisions based on transparency and trust. When pricing information is partially withheld but still indirectly referenced, it doesn't really reduce competitive pressure--it mainly reduces customer confidence. From a customer standpoint, it would be more effective either to: Provide clear, consistent pricing information, or Maintain a strict no-quote policy without partial comparisons The current middle-ground approach feels less like a strategic advantage and more like unnecessary friction for customers who are simply trying to make an informed decision. A clearer policy would likely improve trust and long-term customer loyalty.
