My husband and I discovered Jacumba Hot Springs Resort last year and the experience at both the…read moreresort and the restaurant blew us away, so we decided to head back that way again recently. * The hotel was also featuring a deal on gift cards, so we scooped some up to take advantage of the promotion so we can plan anoher trip back - It's all just that good! Jacumba Restaurant & Bar is the restaurant located on-site at the resort and when I tell you that it will beyond satisfy any foodie's taste buds - That is an understatement. While it is located on-site, it is also open to the public. This place is lively and creates such a wonderful atmosphere - And be sure to check the website / instagram for a schedule on the live music. We've seen quite a few amazing acts here and it makes the experience all the better. Huge shout out to Jacob and Sarah - They took care of us at the bar on this last visit {and Jacob on our prior visit} - What a stellar team! Beyond friendly, both create a welcoming and fun environment & our experiences here wouldn't be the same without them. You'll find several different menus - Breakfast, Brunch, Bar & Restaurant - These options can be enjoyed in the dining room, the beautiful patio, at the bar & some options can also be served poolside. Drinks vary from Fresh Juices, Teas, Coffee, Wine, Beer and Craft Cocktails - Something for everyone. I tend to stick to a great craft IPA {with the occasional Michelada}, while the Hubs discovered the Oaxaca Old Fashioned - This was so tasty that we had to recreate it at home and it takes us right back to Jacumba. Breakfast or Brunch always calls for the Breakfast Burrito - Eggs, Veggie & Potato Hash, Cheddar Cheese, Avocado, and of courde and extra side of Salsa. The Burrito is fairly large so the Hubs and I always share it and it's more than enough. Not feeling the Burrito thing - There are so many options to choose from: Corn Pancakes, Chilaquiles, Avocado or Fig Toasts, a Fritatta, French Toast.. and so much more! Typically still full from the Breakfast Burrito, so lunch is something small to share to tide us over until dinner: Guacamole {topped with Radishes, Cilantro, Red Onion and Pepitas}, served with Housemade Tortilla Chips & the Carnitas Tacos {3 Tacos served on Handmade Tortillas topped with Citrus Braised Pork, Onion, Cilantro, Guacamole & Lime, with a side of Black Beans and Jasmine Rice}. Other options include a Burger {we will get to that later}, Quesadilla, Za'atar Bowl, Chicken Sammie and an array of Soups and Salads. While the Breakfast Buritto is top notch.. the dinner bar menu is where it's at! The Hubs and I love to share things - Because, duh.. you get to try more stuff this way! On this last visit, we became so obsessed with the House Burger {a 1/2 pound Brandt Beef Patty with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Cheddar Cheese and Remoulade served with your choice of Fries or a side Salad - Extra Onions on th side for me}, and the Wedge Salad {Fresh Gem Lettuce, Tomato, Gorgonzola, Bacon, Cilantro Ranch and topped with Chives & Crispy Shallots} - We shared these 2 dishes each of the 3 nights we were there {that's how amazing it was]- And when I say that it hit the spot.. I'm ready to drive back down {It's only about an hour and a half outside of San Diego} to have this Burger / Salad combo atleast once a week. If you are local to Southern CA, I can not recommend Jacumba Hot Springs Resort & Jacumba Restaurant / Bar enough - It's fast become one of our favorite spots for a few days of rest, relaxation & amazing food.

Our second visit was on Valentine's Day two years ago, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. We had reservations, but by the time someone came to take our order, several menu items were already sold out. What made it more frustrating was that they continued seating people without reservations while guests with reservations were still waiting. We waited more than a year before coming back, hoping our first experience was the standard and the Valentine's Day visit was just a bad night. Unfortunately, this visit was also disappointing. Service was slow, we were served the wrong wine even after spelling it out for the waitress, and the whiskey I ordered was also incorrect. The food was not cooked properly, and the lobster mac and cheese came out cold. For a $300+ dinner, I expect much better. I understand this is the Valley, and I genuinely try to support local small businesses, but consistency matters -- especially at this price point. After two poor experiences in a row, it is hard to justify coming back.

Disappointing for such a nice whiskey selection but having outrageous prices to try anything. Lobster Mac and cheese was $22 for a small portion and was dry.

One of the pastas was selected that was very tasty, but very small portion. Brussel sprouts were uniquely cooked. Crème brûlée was tasty. We did hear prices were expensive.

The food alone is five star worthy and it's a special treat to be able to be there and enjoy the experience. Ok, here is a summary of the dishes we tried: Chicken Quesadilla- this item is probably the most bang for your buck. It will fill you up for only $22. Not even on the same gourmet level as the other menu choices, nevertheless it is good. Fries- excellent non greasy and nicely cooked, with notes of potatoes. Fruit Bowl- very nice and refreshing fresh fruit chunks with surprise additions of jacima and cucumber that actually work! Avocado Toast-great bread, lots of nicely sliced perfectly ripe avocado, a good breakfast portion. Ricotta Toast- Great presentation as well as being a great breakfast. The Cara Cara Oranges on top really make this dish. Elote: No doubt, the best elote I've had. Exceeds the Mexican versions by leaps and bounds. Quesadilla Flor de Calabaza-Simply delicious and beautiful. The squash blossoms are very subtle but the other ingredients make for an exceptional dish. Watermelon Gazpacho- Really a burst of many flavors, this complex cold soup will not disappoint. An amazing way to start a meal. Pozole- I loved this soup. The hominy remains firm, and there is lots of pork shoulder in there. Imperial Caesar-This is a good variation of a true Caesar because the anchovy taste is carried forward by the bread crumbs. Great dressing, everything was fresh. French Toast- A fabulous creation that surprisingly was not too sweet. Beautiful presentation, marvelous flavors. Spring Vegetable Potato Hash- A hearty breakfast that features perfectly cooked buttered potato's, squash, peppers and onions with a side of avocado. Bacon- The bacon here is really good, it is thick and meaty with spot on taste and aroma. Steak and Eggs- You get a rather decent portion of their amazing steak. Eggs cooked perfect of course. Carnitas Tacos- A nice pool side snack, not very large but tasty. Guacamole- Another good pool side snack, their version is creative and very tasty. Chips were not greasy, thank you, Market Fish- Red Snapper was really well presented and quite delicious. A bit small for $55. Nicely spiced! Jacumba Ribeye- one of the best steaks I've had. Unexpected tenderness from a rib eye, on par with a loin steak. Flavor was amazing and very "Steak". Well trimmed, no fat or gristle. Poblano Burger- I would come back here just for this burger, it's right up there with the best of the premium burgers. Forget the trendy smash burger BS, this burger is an inch thick and cooked all the way through at a perfect medium, as I requested. The patty is juicy and very flavorful yet the bun hold up well to the end. The bun is also not overly fluffy, you get the taste of meat, not bread. I could not decide fries or salad so the server brought out both. Harissa Carrots- Wow, these are wonderful. I never thought I'd rave on about carrots but here we are. Served on a bed of delicious humus this dish is just outstanding. Fideo de Cameron-very nice sized shrimp that are excellent, accompanied by a great sauced pasta. Tabouleh- This serving brings forth new flavors to a typically boring side. Churraco Taco- Vanilla bean ice cream in a chocolate waffle taco. Creative and delicious. Profiterol- A delicious an beautiful version of a cream puff but so much more. Affogato- very good, but I would not order it unless the server is Richard. He knows how to use the espresso machine, apparently the others do not. Unless it is Richard DO NOT ORDER A LATTE! It will be weak and tasteless. The juices are fresh and carefully crafted, The zero proof drinks are all pretty awesome concoctions by the talented bar tender. Be sure to ask for a fly fan, we used two, you may need three. The flies are not a problem when the misters are on.

The restaurant is located in courtyard of the hotel. The dining is mostly outdoor in a wonderful outdoor courtyard and then there's some dining inside. They have large tables for groups and they have really nice decor and a rustic and farmhouse design element. This seems to be a "farm to table" restaurant. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and sourced locally. Our server was very nice. She was able to give us very good suggestions and answer any questions that we had about the menu. We ordered: Blue Corn Sopes, Mole Chicken, Wedge Salad with Steak added, Zataar Bowl with Chicken added, and 2 Poblano Burgers. They also have mocktails and I opted to have one, the "Afterglow". It's an outdoor patio so just be prepared because there are a lot of trees in the courtyard where you dining. There were several times when we saw cute little green bugs land on our hair or on our skin or on our clothing or on the table. Because we're in a really nice nature promoting environment, it added to our experience and was kind of nice. Also, there are many tables and there is the potential for several groups of people to also be dining around you. It makes the dining experience a lot more enjoyable because everybody's really having a good time talking and enjoying themselves and their groups. My poblano burger was delicious. I'm glad that I made that choice. I heard that: the wedge salad was also good, zataar bowl with chicken was ok, Blue Corn Sopes were ok, and the Mole Chicken was ok. I actually appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and that the food wasn't overpowering and super flavorful, but just right. At the end of the meal, for dessert, I ordered the cream puff with ice cream. Another person in our group ordered a vanilla latte. The cream puff was just ok. It had more of a biscuit texture instead of a fluffy and light cream puff texture. The homemade ice cream was ok. It was vanilla bean and it just was ok. We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Our server was outstanding and she was able to check on us very frequently just in case we missed anything. In this small town and probably all towns in the vicinity, this is definitely THE 5-star dining experience. I appreciated it and was happy to experience it.
