This is how you do it folks!…read more Been here three times and we've had different dishes every time and so far everything is delicious. Service is on point, like I said I've been here three times in probably 5 months and the crazy thing is on both return trips the guy recognized me like this is the epitome of mom & pop business right here. You feel seen and you realize the money your paying for your delicious food is going to real folks and not some corporate overlord nonsense. The vibe of the place is an industrial-esque sports bar the style that was super popular during the hipster face of restauranteering where everyone was going for the stripped down minimalist aesthetic but for this place it works. They have high seats, low seats and a couple TVs playing live sports with no real obstructions. We always come at off peak hours so I'm not sure how packed it would get but this seems like a good place to catch a PPV fight or something IF they don't pack everyone in like sardines. The food, jeez I should have probably made this the start of the review the food is decadent. EVERY dish we've tried has been packed with flavor, healthy portions, and fair prices. I recommend anything on the menu but if you want to get out of your comfort zone get the balkan fries, they're so good you won't regret it! This is the kind of place you want to see in business the people rock, the food is great, and you feel like part of the community patronizing here.

After birding and indoor bouldering, I wanted a snack and it was hot today so the first thing that…read morecame in mind was fresh fruit with lemon, tajin and chamoy. Probably I was losing salt and water today so thats what my body wanted, so I delivered. Yelp ranked this place high and it was 10min from where I was so I stopped in this afternoon. This place was busy when I came here and I might have been the only non Spanish speaking person here but I felt right at home. Owner was nice to me and I asked for a fruit cup, he showed me the medium and the large and since I was pretty parched, I went with the large. I asked for mango, jicama and cucumber and hold the watermelon. In a few minutes, my order was ready and it was so delicious. I sat outside on one of their tables and enjoyed my refreshing afternoon snack. Prices very reasonable and not charging me $15, staff very nice and fruit was fresh and refreshing. Easy parking too. Ill definitely be back! Thank you!

I was working in the area and was first drawn in by the window advertising, very classic and not…read moreflashy. The second thing that drew me in were the smells of smoked meats and fish (not overpowering at all) I was originally just looking for a place to grab a quick snack and do some computer work. But once I got to talking to one of the friendly staff, my three slices of salmon turned into a lox bagel and I decided to grab a small block of smoked cheddar to take home. *I should note that the lox bagel is the only sandwich item they offer from the menu. Everything else can be purchased by the pound No frills is something you will notice I personally look for in a small business. If there are too many frills, I start to wonder what you're trying to distract me from. Smoked lox was fantastic, the bagel was nice and fresh. Like I said NO FRILLS, just honest smoked offerings made by people who care. I ran into this place without trying and I will definitely come back to try the smoked chicken wings and salmon jerky!

Smoked and Tasty is amazing. I picked up catering from Smoked and Tasty for several days of…read moreholiday group eating. Absolutely everything was fresh, extremely tasty and visually appealing as well. Over the course of a couple of days, I ordered roast ducks, baked salmon with dill and pomengranate seeds, prime rib, arugula salad with apples and pecans, arugula salad with feta cheese, mandarins and pomengranate seeds, roast brussels sprouts, green beans with almonds, roast potatoes and roasted mixed vegetables. There wasn't a single dish that was a miss. Everyone was amazed at how well everything was seasoned. I was looking for authentically good catering. Smoked and Tasty more than delivered. The owner is also super nice!

Delicious meat pies!…read more I picked up these pies at their location in the Escondido Auto Park area. They have parking out front but it looked like a doozy with its incline into the dirt so I just drove around looking for street parking. I do not recommend trying if you have a lowered car. I did not put in an order but was glad to hear that they had many of their items available frozen. They are expensive so expect that. The pies are a decent size with generous fillings. My favorites were the Sausage Rolls & the Minced Meat & Cheese, tasty! Since I got them frozen, she gave me a rundown of how to heat up the pies & they came out perfectly. The directions are online too.

Can't believed they closed. Closest thing to home I've tasted. Wish they were still open.read more

We ordered 2 chicken and 1 steak burritos but very disappointed because there was no seasoning. Also, when ordering the burrito itself l, you have to pay for the additional meat, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. It only comes beans and rice otherwise.

This past weekend was a vintage tractor show with a bunch of pop ups from local vendors with some really fun stuff. I got a couple of coin purses hand made by two high schoolers, really different and unique stuff (perfect for gifts). The pumpkin patch is always a delight this time of the year, I got some spaghetti squash and a few smaller pumpkins. They also have a feeding section filled with goats and various animals which is fun for all ages (my kids still love it and they are in their 20's and so do we). Love the store, lots of fresh chocolates and candies, gifts, nuts, snacks, I mean everything! And they also have seasonal foods and gift items as well. They usually have a food truck or two or a standup ice cream and BBQ place out there. Literally something for everyone! And the employees are always super nice! Overall fun times for the family or an outing with friends!

We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of food and beverage trucks on site, while browsing through all of the goods people had for sale during the community yard sale. There was something for everyone. We did have a chance to walk through the pumpkin patch and take some fun photos for the upcoming fall season. The farm animals were plentiful and definitely looking for snacks so be wary of your fingers! As always you have to stop into the store and check out all the goodies they have for sale, and if possible, take home some of the best fudge I've ever had

Amazing how fast things change and turn to disappointment. I…read moresent my wife in to get some of their carne asada (arrachera) and while doing so, she had me on speaker phone to assure that she was getting the order correct. We were looking for their prime product that was already marinated. The following morning, in preparation for a few guests arriving later, I grilled the product and unfortunately found out that the meat counter gave her a unmarinated product. While mistakes do happen, we called the store to patiently explain our issue and asked not for a refund, but a store credit for the next opportunity to get some carne from this small business. Unfortuately, this was flatly denied and the initial offer was a bag of chips or a small container of salsa the next time we came in. We were told by the manager's proxy, Valeria, that since the meat was cooked, it could not be brought back, because? Who knows. If it would have been raw, she said they would have taken it for an exchange or refund. What would they have done with it raw? When I asked how was I to know that it wasn't marinated before cooking it, she had no answer. I made sure to tell her that we have no intention of defrauding the store, and even mentioned I left a glowing review for them in Yelp. After another apology by her, I asked to speak to the actual manager. He declined to get on the phone with me. Curiously, after exclaiming my disappointment near the end of the conversation with Valeria, she offered me 1 free lb of meat but made sure to say she (they) would still be losing $20. With receipts in hand and a calm understanding phone call I was hoping for better customer service for our neighborhood store, but alas, more failure over $40 worth of meat. Too bad.
