Walked inside thinking I was just gonna grab a burger, and next thing I know I'm wandering around looking at all the meats, marinades, sauces, chips, drinks, and sandwiches like I was about to host a backyard BBQ for the whole neighborhood. This place is dangerous if you like to cook. I asked the guy behind the counter what I should order because I wasn't trying to make a bad decision. Without hesitation he said, Aged Burger and the Philly.....Say less. We grabbed those and ordered the fries extra crispy because that's the only way fries should be eaten. Man... everything was hella good. The burger was juicy, the Philly hit the spot, and those extra crispy fries disappeared way faster than I want to admit.... They've got plenty of outdoor seating too, so we just kicked back, ate, and enjoyed the vibe. I already know every time I'm in the area I'm coming here because wise ox is greater than shake shack I'm Js!

You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside.

When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

On weekends, their…read morebreakfast platter is a must-have--it comes with French toast, eggs, thick-cut bacon, and a potato pancake. The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

We had the pretzel with beer cheese, the lemon pepper wings and I had the Smokey Joe sandwich. The environment was cool!

The bread was perfect and the turkey was warm and cheese melted but it wasn't a hot sandwich. I don't know how to explain it. It was perfectly toasted. I definitely recommend this place for a yummy bite!

Matzo ball soup was well seasoned and delicious if that's your jam. Chicago beef needed mayo for personally and a little more salt but was enjoyed by three people who shared. Fries were double fried and crunchy but not greasy. I enjoyed the potato salad. Pastrami tasted fresh and so much better than store bought deli pastrami. Rye bread was good and not dry! Prices are a little high but they pile on the meats. Lots of baked goodies! Tried the snickerdoodle which was nice and soft, and the rugalah, good taste but a little dry. Lava cake was a hit.

If you want fries, the $24.50 sandwich becomes $27.50. I'm not cheap, but for the quantity and quality it's just not a good value. Service was excellent and the ambience and decor very nice old time New York deli-restaurant style. I prefer the leaner, just as tasty pastrami and corned beef sandwiches at DZ Akins, on fresher toasted bread. Great pickles too!

I love surprises, especially good ones like El Nopalito. We're in Encinitas once a month or so, so…read morewe have tried a lot of places for lunch over the last twenty years. Luckily we were given the tip to try El Nopalito which is located just off the northbound Santa Fe Drive exit on the 5. You might want to look at google maps if you don't know the area which is in an older somewhat run down strip mall. Don't let that fool you though, appearances can be deceiving. Indise El Nopalito is clean and fairly large, probably seating around sixty. The kitchen can be viewed from where you order, which I like. We ordered nothing but tacos for starters to see what we liked, they have 21 types of tacos on the menu, so we chose Carnitas, Carne Asada, and El Pastor. Good choices all, freshly made, well seasoned, great toppings and big portions. The two of us were almost full just eating the three tacos. But no, we wanted more, so we ordered the Mole Oaxaca (Red Mole) which was excellent. A very complex taste with cinnamon and chile. Three tacos and the mole finished us. The service was friendly and prompt and I enjoyed sitting there because there was much to see. When we walked in it was a few minutes before noon. We were really surprised because there were about thirty high school students there mostly having sodas and tacos. Within ten minutes they all disappeared to go back to school. The restaurant was almost empty for a few minutes and then many Mexican Landscape Workers came for lunch. At one point there were over twenty people in line and the restaurant was full! This all in the space of fifteen minutes. They did not order tacos, but the daily specials, stews, soups, etc. They were friendly too and there was a great atmosphere. We were impressed by the taste of the food, the great selection, and all we saw. Ignore my other reviews for Mexican restaurants in the Encinitas/Leucadia area, this is our new favorite! We will try to be there about 11:40 again.
