Enjoy wonderfully authentic food and ambiance in the main dining room, casual bar or the warm inviting patio. Leone D'Arcangelo and his family look forward to welcoming you to the restaurant. This is a great place for a romantic dinner. Generally does not require a reservation as it is a large restaurant with an outdoor patio. I have been here many times and it delivers a consistently pleasant experience. It is relatively pricey. Across from the movie theater in River Village Center.

This family-owned brewery is proud to serve quality craft beers to an ever increasing group of good friends, family, and people from the local neighborhoods. While the brewers are always experimenting with new recipes, many favorites are available year round. One such favorite is the Ruby Red Ale, an international gold winner in 2013. The Adams' passion for their work has been recognized by the community with their most recent award: 2016 Small Business of the Year for the 36th Senate District. Fun, casual place. Be aware it can be very noisy. The food is so-so, but the beer is great and the atmosphere is fun if you are looking for a lively experience.

Ciao Ristorante Italiano is one of the area’s finest Italian Restaurants complete with two chefs, a full bar, and an elegant Mediterranean ambiance. As a second generation family business, Ciao is focused on upholding traditional values and high service standards. Recently expanded and remodeled, to accommodate the crowds that flock to this eatery every night. This restaurant is loved by locals, but in my experience, it can be a bit hit-and-miss. I recommend the pasta dishes over their pizza. VERY busy, so make a reservation during peak times. The new ambiance is very pleasant.

This place is a local institution! Since its opening in 1989, Sandra Webster, the owner of Nessy Burgers, has had her beef supplied by a local supermarket in Fallbrook. The beef patties used in her perfect Cheeseburgers are made from a special blend of premium chuck and sirloin beef. Only Sandra and her butchers know this special formulation. Ground fresh every morning, the beef is assembled in ten pound batches and special seasonings are added. This too is Sandra's secret. The Nessy team is frequently asked by its customers, "Is this beef patty a recipe?" Well, it most certainly is! In addition to the beef being ground ultra-fresh early each morning, every ½ pound burger patty is hand-made and individually weighed! Nessy's beef possesses no fillers or preservatives and the beef is never frozen. The only additive is Sandra's secret blend of herbs and spices. She knew that the highest quality beef patty was essential for the perfect hamburger. Sandra did not stop with the perfect burger patty... After much experimentation, Sandra developed the most excellent of sauces that is spread deliciously over the burgers. Then, Sandra began her search for the finest sesame seed bun; she found it and her bread man calls on the restaurant every day. Next, she turned her attention to the toppings: The burgers are topped with slices from perfectly-ripe juicy jumbo tomatoes, crisp sweet onions (grilled upon request) and only the finest leaves from hand broken Iceberg lettuce. For the final touch, every Nessy Burger comes with premium quality American cheese, and the best sliced jalapeno peppers are offered on the side. Umm Good!! The bottom line, a Nessy Burger is a quality burger; that's why burger lovers come from all over Southern California to eat at Nessy Burgers. Some of our customers actually tell us that they have consistently patronized the restaurant since its opening in 1989.

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the area. Family owned and popular with locals. Full bar. VERY popular, so expect a wait. Only open for dinner except on weekends. Visit their downtown Fallbrook location for lunch on weekdays. This place can be difficult to spot on busy Mission Road. It will be on your left coming from your Airbnb. Keep an eye out or you'll miss it because it is set back a bit from the road. There is an antique shop/village next door off the same parking lot.

Very good taco shop for take-out or delivery (Doordash). Food is made to order and much better than the strip mall location would suggest. Dine-in is available but it is more of a take-out location. Highly recommended.

WildWood is a place for locals to meet, eat, and drink. This is your new living room, right in the park. Upscale dishes such as prime rib and grilled salmon are offered, in addition to Mexican specialties. Live entertainment is offered, call ahead to verify. This restaurant has a bit of an identity crisis going on deciding whether it is a steakhouse or a Mexican restaurant (it was previously an outstanding Mexican restaurant.) That said, it is a good choice for a nice evening out.

Mama 'n Papa's Pizza Grotto is one of the oldest Italian restaurants in Vista, CA. Owner, Fred Mozzani, grew up working for the DePhilippis at Fillipi's Pizza Grotto in San Diego. While working at Fillipi's, Fred met his wife Lynn and decided to start his own business. The DePhilippis shared their recipes, menu and blessings. Since 1986 Mama ‘n Papa’s has been family owned, with three generations now managing daily operations. Mama 'n Papa's has become a Vista landmark, known for homemade Italian classics, an inviting atmosphere, and service that is second to none. We recommend pasta dishes, but the pizza is good, too.

Our standards are high. We proudly serve Brandt Beef, and everything, yes, everything - on our menu is cooked from scratch right here in our kitchen. We serve everything you'd expect including pulled pork, beef ribs, brisket, tri-tip, wings, chicken, 1/2lb smoked burgers, and even housemade spicy sausage. Enjoy sides like bbq beans, potato salad, hand-cut onion rings, sweet peach cobbler, and local beer on tap. We originally found this place when it was located in the back of a Chevron station. Well worth ordering delivery or take out. Visit the new location on Main Street for dine-in.

Local pizza restaurant located in the nearby River Village Shopping Center. Just 3 miles from your Airbnb. Offering brick oven pizzas, creamy pasta, delicious sandwiches, and fresh salads. It won't be the best pizza you've ever had but it is acceptable when you're in the mood for pizza or pasta without going to a more upscale place. If you want a nicer place for Italian food, go to Fresco Grill across the street in the same shopping center.

Let's be honest, this place looks like a dump inside and out, and right next to a biker bar (although I'm told the bar has a friendly vibe.) It is made-to-order fast food. I recommend getting the food to go because the dining room has no ambiance at all. The burritos are the best bet. It is located only about 2 miles from your Airbnb. It's right off Hwy 76 in the small shopping center with the post office.

Monserate Winery began with a desire to preserve the beauty and integrity of Gird Valley. For 56 years, the beautiful 116-acre property was a public golf course, dotted with 100-year-old oaks and towering sycamore trees. After falling on hard times, the golf course closed. We had a vision to revitalize the land and create something incredible that would also enrich the lives of the surrounding community, and thus, Monserate Winery was born. We have been hard at work to bring this vision to life since 2016 and have made a lot of progress. Today, Monserate Winery boasts breathtaking vineyards, tranquil lakes and spectacular scenery.

Dai Dang Meditation Center began in the United States in 2001 in Bonsall California to bring the benefits of the Mahayana Buddhist Practice to North America. From the very beginning, our key objective has been to clarify and adapt the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama to Western modes of thinking and to provide a design for living for all Americans who speak English. Every Sunday at 9:30 am the English-speaking Sangha gathers to recite chants that honor the teachings of the Buddha, to practice and teach deep Zen Meditation, and to discuss the integration of the Buddhist practice into our daily lives. Our monthly schedule also includes a day of retreat in which we remain silent, do walking meditation in our Zen gardens, and focus on extended sessions of meditation. At any time, we can also schedule one on one consultations with monks for visitors who want further instruction in the Dharma, and to discuss in further detail how the teachings of an Indian sage of the 3rd century BC, can be applied to the daily challenges we all face in our complex world of work, family and raising children. All of this is followed by a free vegan lunch which is lovingly prepared by the monastics and lay people of our Vietnamese – American Sangha. Cooperation within our community is demonstrated in everything we do and maintaining harmony, is an important aspect of this process. Many western people search for spiritual sustenance in a world beset by political, economic, and social turmoil. We’ve realized that the spiritual practices handed down to us from our parents and grandparents, don’t work for us anymore. We’ve been raised to believe that this current life is nothing more than preparation for the afterlife and that the kingdom of heaven awaits all those who follow the rules of our forebears. After the social upheavals that took place in the 60’s and 70’s, our generation and all those that followed began a search for real answers to the urgent questions of the day. Why was there war, famine, and pestilence? Why have our leaders failed us and pursued narrow self-interest, rather than the greater good of the people? And why have our religious leaders failed in helping us to rear our children, often in ways that we could never have imagined even 15 years ago? The Buddhism that we practice at Dai Dang Meditation Center does not purport to give us answers to all these questions. We do not guarantee that our efforts will change the world for the better overnight, and eliminate the problems that have plagued us since we became “civilized” human beings some 10,000 years ago. We offer you the entry to a spiritual path that will move you toward the Enlightenment that the Buddha experienced after 6 years of wandering, meditation, self-abnegation, and finally the liberation from suffering that he found under the Bodhi Tree when he was 30 years old. Please join us on this path of self-discovery, learn how to alleviate your own suffering then work on the liberation of others from their suffering. Meditation is the core of our practice and helps to accomplish this liberation. Our monks and guest speakers are all trained in meditation and in the teaching of the Buddha Dharma. Please join us any Sunday at 9:30 am in the main house. Located less than a mile from your Airbnb.

Take the Coaster train from the Oceanside Transit Center directly to downtown San Diego and avoid the traffic. The Santa Fe Depot is within walking distance of the cruise ship terminal and the harbor promenade with all of its attractions. Seaport Village is just a short walk away along the waterfront. I do not recommend walking around the waterfront or downtown San Diego after dark.

Specialty chain offering a range of natural & organic grocery items. You can also find many gluten-free, keto and plant-based items in addition to fresh produce and artisan baked goods. The full-service deli is full of ready-to-eat mails, snacks, and more. In my opinion, the produce from the bigger chain stores is superior to what you get at Sprouts. Calling it a "farmers market" is a bit of a stretch but they do have a variety of ready-to-eat foods that are tasty.

Hiking

Short hike, roughly 1.6 miles round trip. The initial start of the hike is very scenic with shade. It's all uphill essentially during the paved portion of the trail for about a half mile. There is lots of scenery as you look to your left, views of mountains, etc. Once the paved path ends, don't stop, continue through the first path. Some people think this trail is only a mile because they stop where the pavement ends. You continue on, passing some residential house/fencing along the dirt path. When you see the fork, go left (going up is residential housing). You continue until it's too overgrown to pass. Parking is minimal and there are no restrooms.

Beautiful Hiking Trails. Fishing at the lower lake. There are two lakes. One you can see from Highway 76 and another further up that you can only reach by hiking/walking that's smaller and you can't see from any road. You'll see ducks, coots, and all manner of wildlife at the park. You may see bluejays, egrets great blue herons, and kingfishers. The park is carefully maintained by the rangers. They deserve so much credit for the work they do there. It's well-groomed, clean, and safe because the rangers there keep the trails in such great condition for hiking, running, and horse riding. Picnicking is lots of fun everywhere. There's even a hall for hosting an event, a little gym with workout equipment, and a volleyball court. You can wander among beautiful trees next to a tiny stream. There are two entrances to the park. One from highway 76 and one from Sante Fe Rd. The one from Sante Rd is the area that has a basket court, a picnic area, and a playground. You can access hiking trails from there where you can reach the larger Lake next to highway 76 and the smaller lake going in the opposite direction. Watch for rattlesnakes in warmer weather.

Mount Woodson Trail to Potato Chip Rock is a pleasant 2-hour leisurely roundtrip trek (allow another 0.5 hours to explore the rock formation). With the gradual incline (1,281 feet) and cardio that this trail offers, as well as the beautiful scenery of boulders, mountains, and greenery, it makes for an enjoyable adventure. You may even see snow-capped mountains from afar! The best time to visit is mid-afternoon on a weekday when there should be ample street parking available. Getting to the potato chip platform can be challenging, make sure to wear hiking shoes with good grip. Always hike with a friend or two to help assist you down/ up in case of an accident. It's perfect to hike during San Diego's winter season, as it isn't too hot, usually about the high 50's to low 60's. Limited areas with shade so bring a hat and sunscreen! Also, don't forget your water! As always in this area, be aware of rattlesnakes, and don't put your hands or feet anywhere you can't see.

Daley Ranch is a 3,201-acre conservation area acquired in 1996 by the City of Escondido and is managed in perpetuity for the preservation of a biologically unique and diverse habitat area of regional importance. Visitors can enjoy a variety of recreational and educational opportunities and experiences in a historically significant setting. The property contains a number of natural vegetation communities including lush oak woodlands, coastal sage scrub and chaparral, grasslands, and riparian areas. Approximately 1.1 miles from the La Honda entry is the Daley Ranch House, a redwood barn, and numerous outbuildings of historical interest. Ranger-led tours of the Ranch House occur on the 2nd Sunday of every month from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Members of The Friends of Daley Ranch provide assistance with the tours and offer additional insights into the history of the ranch. Please note that steady rain cancels the tours. Daley Ranch offers over 25 miles of multipurpose trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use. Six distinct trails cover most of the property. Most popular are the Boulder Loop Trail (2.4 miles) which affords outstanding views of Escondido, and the Ranch House Loop (2.5 miles), which passes two small ponds and the site of Daley's original log cabin.

The San Luis Rey Bike Trail is a class I bicycle trail open to pedestrians and cyclists. The trail is 10.7 miles, one way, from the coastal Neptune access (west end) to North Santa Fe Avenue (east end). The trail follows the path of the San Luis Rey River and provides riders with the opportunity to see the natural habitat of the region, including a variety of bird species. This relatively flat trail is safe for all age groups, is completely separate from motorized traffic, and is free of stop signs and traffic lights. Fun Fact: Before the San Luis Rey Bike Trail was paved, it was once used as a private railway by the military to move cargo along the river. The San Luis Rey Bike Trail is a multi-use trail, which may be used for recreational purposes by other non-motorized uses; including hikers, runners, and skaters. Please note that the trail is not open for class 3 electric modes of transportation including electric bikes or scooters capable of 20mph or over. The trail is also not intended for equestrian use. The west end of the trail is within a few blocks of the Oceanside Transit Center, allowing commuters an opportunity to travel to Oceanside on mass transit and explore Oceanside by bicycle. I do not recommend walking this trail alone, especially in the evening or early morning. There may be homeless people living in the bushes along the route. While this area is relatively safe, keep your wits about you and don't let your guard down.
