Recently came back to Z South for an early dinner in between my friend's daughter's dance recitals…read more It took a minute for them to put the table together since there were 7 of us. We ordered Shirley temples in honor of our favorite little performer. But I stuck to my favorite tacos for my entree. I got an al pastor taco and a shrimp taco with rice and beans. Everything tasted great and the service was perfect!

I've eaten at Z South 4 times in the 3 years since I moved to Fallbrook/Bonsall…read more The restaurant choices in general really suck in this area IMO but the 1st 3 times I ate at Z South, it was decent. Pleasant patio seating, friendly staff and an OK braised short rib taco. This past (and last) time was a terrible experience. The TVs on the patio were too loud (it was 2pm - hardly anyone there - no need for them to be on at all), the waitress was not very bright or friendly and the food was disgusting. Repeat: disgusting. I ordered the Chimichuuri Ribeye - supposedly a 'house specialty'. The cut of meat was waaaaaaay below par - grisly and tough. The real disappointment was the Chimichurri sauce which was not like any Chimmichuri sauce I've ever seen or tasted before. It was gooey red/yellow oil with floating bits of gray matter...I took 2 bites and was done. I didn't even feel like the meat would be safe to give my dog. Prior to writing this I called 2X to speak with a manager but both times that was a hassle. It's possible there is no one actually managing Z South. There are so many people with $ in Fallbrook/Bonsall...it amazes me they don't care more about the food quality in their local restaurants.

Grab your ice and keep the beers cold on the way out to the desert. If you'd like to park on the street, they have a street access door as well. Sign is large and lit at night. There is a small taco window on the side ( that's a separate review) of the Liquor Store. Mr. Sascha and his family/staff are always professional, kind and truly put their heart and passion into this store. It's clean, well stocked and they do what they can to offer so much to so many. I personally love all of the live plants throughout the store. Beer is cold, wine is abundant and it's a snackers paradise. The store is clean and if you need a cold bottle of champagne on the way to a birthday party or a cigar for your uncles birthday that you forgot about, this is the place to be! Tons of scratchers sold here. Someone hit it big here so it's a Lucky Store! You can grab your daily newspaper, some tea or juice and head out to the air park close by. Continue to support local and give this place a try next time you are in town.

Right away, I was impressed by the personal touch from the owner, who clearly takes pride in the place and knows his stuff. They've got a fantastic craft beer selection and prices that are more than fair. As luck would have it, I came in on the right day--Busch Light Apple had just landed, which only comes around every few years. Total score. I also grabbed some snacks and a few other essentials for our adventure that day. The whole experience was quick, easy, and friendly. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area--or even if you're not.

Almost like a one stop shop/mini grocery store which must be convenient for the residents in this area. They have anything from home goods to frozen food items, a small produce section, dairy, snacks, breads, candy, a cigar case, lots of alcohol beverage choices and and an impressive selection in the wine aisle. They even have a deli counter to purchase meats and sandwiches as well as a Thrifty's ice cream counter. Service was friendly and helpful, an employee stopped to ask if we needed help finding anything. This will definitely be a must stop the next time we are in the area!

This auto museum is absolutely fantastic! Words cannot describe how cool the property and the car…read morecollection are. The pictures don't even do it justice. I've wanted to visit this location since before Covid but never got around to it. Finally this year a friend and I were trying to visit as many museums as possible during San Diego Museum Month (February) and when I told him about it he was totally in. I knew from the website that the collection was large but didn't know what to expect. We walked in and bought tickets. The gentleman at the counter was helpful and explained how the museum and the wine tasting worked. He led us over the entrance to the cars and told us about the main building and then told us how to get to the two outbuildings that were part of the tour. The main building has the wine tasting, seating, kitchen, and bathroom. There were some cool artifacts in the building. We were both so impressed by what we saw. THEN...we walked down the path to the garage and our minds were blown! BLOWN! There was some seriously spectacular history in that garage. The cars and the collected fridges, radios, toys, and other items housed there. When we walked up to the third building we were once again stunned at the beauty of the cars and bikes and such there. I would never be able to pick out a favourite because there were just too many treasures. I've been to the museum three times this year because once I mention it to someone they insist on checking it out and I would never say no. The wine tasting was a lot of fun too. They have different types seasonally and all of the wine we drank was pretty good. I bought a couple of bottles. You can bring your own snacks and nibbles to go with your wine. Go. Visit. Check out. Be amazed. Enjoy! Excellent, Deer Park, absolutely excellent!

NOT JUST CARS An interesting collection of mostly…read moreconvertible cars and other Americana and collectibles (i.e. Vintage TVs, appliances, radios, Barbie dolls, etc.), housed in three separate structures in a winery setting. PRICE TO ENTER When you first enter, you will be in a gift shop/entry area where you pay at the desk. The cost was $14 per adult in April 2026. (Discounts offered for seniors, military and kids). IT NEEDS A REFRESH Overall, I felt the museum needed a bit of a refresh and rebrand. It's tired, dated and a little clumsy and cluttered. The items in the gift shop look like they've been there for decades. There are odd pieces of furniture lying around nestled between the cars along with cardboard stand-ups of Marilyin Monroe and dated photographs. The descriptive signage next to the cars are on the floor and wordy, hard to read. There was dust, dirt and cobwebs in display cabinets. It felt like someone had collected all this stuff, put it on display and then forgot about it. The cars and their paintwork were in great condition and paintwork was dust-free and shiny. It would have been nice to have learned about the owner or the story behind the collection, but we weren't given any brochures and there weren't any docents to ask. BARBIE COLLECTION In one building there's a small room with a large collection of boxed Barbie dolls from years past with a few Barbie cars as well. Again, it all looked a little tired and forgotten. WINE BY THE GLASS OR TASTING We didn't stick around for wine or wine tasting, but there were people there enjoying the patio and live music. There's a refrigerator with charcuterie and cold drinks available for purchase. The vineyards were pretty with roses and benches dotted around. Picnic tables are available out front. Their web site is one page, not terribly informative and again, could do with an update and refresh. Parking is complimentary. If you've never been before and like to seek out new places in San Diego County, stop by for a visit to either the auto museum, winery or both. See my photos attached for more details. Helpful?
