    French Toast
    Marcie L.

    The food here is pretty good. When I first arrived on Monday, I ordered guacamole by the pool for $13. For happy hours you need to go to the bar. On Tuesdays they have happy hour all day, but the other weekdays the happy hours from 3 PM until 5 PM. I ordered the guacamole again and it was only $8. They also have drink specials--I had a mezcal margarita for just $10, and it was delicious. Breakfast was okay. I had the Highway 80 breakfast with watermelon juice. The eggs came out a bit overcooked for my taste, even though I asked for them softly scrambled, but the bacon was perfectly crispy. The potatoes were fine, though not very seasoned (ketchup was provided). It also came with some fresh greens, and the salsa really elevated the eggs. My friend had the French toast and absolutely loved it. One thing to note: there are a lot of bees and flies around the outdoor seating area. They provide small devices for the table to help keep them away, but they didn't work very well. The good news is they also have indoor seating, and for the outdoor patio they run misters during the day, which makes it much more comfortable in the summer heat. The staff were consistently warm and friendly, and overall I'd definitely recommend eating at the restaurant here.

    Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel has out done itself in inviting a star guest chef to show off his unique culinary expression. This may be the seminal initiation of placing Jacumba on one of the must go culinary centers of San Diego county. Addison, beware. The Cucina Rustica pop up dinner was memorable which I will photo document instead of explaining each satisfying dish. The noted wine pairing was exclusively served by Lomita Winery from Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California del Norte. What impressed me the most is the hospitality & warm welcome extended by the friendly staff. At the conclusion of dinner at the Caravan Lounge, I asked if I could soak my feet at their medicinal, sulfur Ritual Pool and was afforded permission with a resounding Yes by the General Manager. While I had my feet in the warm, healing waters, one very thoughtful lady employee, who also served at the dinner gave me a plush towel to dry my feet. I very much appreciated that kind gesture. I will place her photo first & foremost in the photo below. Unfortunately, by the time I made reservation for this Pop Up dinner, Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel was all booked up. This resort has a magic all its own. There is a wonderful, well thought out combination of luxury, sophistication, relaxation that is beguiling. Be sure to reserve well ahead to ensure your stay in this charming village atmosphere. 5 stars due to the exceptional warm service and casual yet smart ambiance. "Experience a family-style dinner crafted by Corporate Executive Chef Brian Redzikowski which included wine pairing from La Lomita in the Valle de Guadalupe region.

    It is always a leasure to dine at the restaurant located within the jacumba Hot Springs Hotel. It does not have a specific name to my understaning, but is simply referred to as "the dining room". Parking is in front of the facility. or there is also a parking lot to the west of the establishment. You enter to some old carved wood gates that are very beautiful. The door of tehthe dining room is straight ahead. The interior of the dining room has about ten tables, but there is also a large patio just outside with tables and umbrellas, so you are never in the full desert sun. We usually dine inside rather than on the patio. Inside, one wall is covered with interesting paintings from different eras. You can sit either on the banquettes that run along one wall, of at the free standing tables. We like the Moraccan Lamb Meat Balls and the Fish du jour. There are Profiterolles for dessert.

    Wow the vibe of his place. Chill music, Moroccan lanterns, bohemian decor, straw umbrellas, Caitlin, our server, was attentive, personable and helpful. Food choices are excellent. Ordered the zero proof margarita-craft style cocktail very nice. De La Calle Tepache drink was super refreshing with fermented pineapple and mango chili. The breakfast burrito was hearty delicious and freshly made/tasting. Already planning on having the oasis bowl next time.

    Great place to enjoy a nice dinner, brunch or breakfast. We stayed at Jamcumba Springs and enjoyed a few meals. For dinner we order the steak but it did take about 45 minutes to get our order. I understand they make it to perfection but there was only only waitress that day and most orders were taking a while. The food is really good and breakfast over did it. The potatoes and their service was great. Definitely will come back again.

    We stayed at the Jacumba Hot Springs hotel in a private casita for two nights. Included in our room was a $50 food and beverage credit that we used during happy hour. We love the ambience of this restaurant it is very atmospheric dark and with lots of cool decorations. We were lucky enough to snag a booth it is pretty busy during their happy hour from three to 5 o'clock. We enjoyed a couple of the house margaritas which were delicious and strong. We also ordered guacamole and Elote. It was the first time either of us had had elite And it was absolutely delicious. They slather it in some awesome sauce and sprinkle a little bit of cheese on it it's really really good. Will be back to visit again and hope to return to this restaurant as we had a great experience there.

    Access to the hotel, springs, and restaurant.

    Best restaurant in town. It doesn't matter that it is the only restaurant in town. If you had 20 other restaurants this would still be the winner. Probably one of my top 10 restaurants. Great food, original recipes, and spectacular service. Add to it a dip in the hot springs and it becomes a perfect day.

    What a gem! ABSOLUTELY love this +21 up property. No shade on parenthood, because we are proud parents of our kid... but, knowing there are local getaways to cater to adults- is top notch. If you don't follow Jacumba Hot Springs on IG- do it! It's a one stop shop staying here! Bars and restaurant on site. Sage Market a block away for any other needs you'd want. The reason I did knock a star is because I have a habit of watching current events on tv. No tv's or microwaves or coffee pots in rooms. I'm a very early riser- 4:30am is pushing it. Coffee cart is available at 7am near the Changing Rooms. When the website subs "desert oasis"- they mean it. I swear, if I won the lotto- I could totally create this vibe at home. LOL. The main mineral pool and Echo Room (hot tub) is also utilized for day passers. However, there's going to be an additional mineral pool opening up in a few weeks- strictly for hotel guests. Which is awesome also! Cabanas are $250 (not including tax/ food). Can host up to 12 people for two time frames- day or sunset times. There are PLENTY of outdoor seating areas on site to accommodate patrons to spread themselves out. Friday & Saturday nights have a DJ spinning in the bar area. And the Old Bathhouse, a block away is used for live performances!

    Imperial Caesar salad
    Jessica H.

    The service was great with friendly staff. Although the presentation of the food is fantastic, sometimes the taste missed the mark. Here's a recap of the food during our time here... Breakfast: Omelette: Good, although I wish they had an option to add ham for more protein. The potatoes were nice as well. Drinks: Bloody Mar(ia) - I order mine with Tequila instead of Vodka. Moon of the Religion: Gin drink was very light and refreshing. Fresca-Rita: Tasty. Levitation: Just "alright" according to my boyfriend. Starters/Appetizers: Shishito Peppers: the lime aioli is what gives it the flavor, otherwise the peppers themselves would be a little underwhelming. Elote (corn): Delicious! Served with 3 half cobs. I would order this again. Imperial Caesar: Not a traditional Caesar salad or near resembling it, but delicious and fresh nonetheless. Generous portion big enough to share as a starter although I would add meat if eating it as a meal. Dinner: Mole Chicken: Good mole is hard to come by. Unfortunately they missed the mark here. The sauce was too thin and not sweet enough. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but the mole was nothing like I know great mole can be. For that reason I would skip this and the Chilaquiles too. Poblano Burger: Great! I would get this again. The fries that come with it were good too. Jacumba Rib Eye: It's the star of their menu, hands down! Pricey, but worth it. Buttery, tender, and massive. My boyfriend and I split this between us with a bunch of appetizers to share. You could buy 4 starters or salads for less than the 1 steak so it made sense for us to order it that way so we could try many things at once.

    Highway 80 breakfast

    We decided to visit the restaurant and see what the brunch menu had to offer. The fruit bowl was refreshing with mint and chamoy fresh and amazing. The host was attentive and accommodating . I had the HWY 80 breakfast very filling.

    We came here on a lark, on our way back to San Diego from Mexicali. We had a thought to check out the resort and then decided to try the best (perhaps only?) restaurant in town. We were quite pleasantly surprised. They have a solid wine list, including a great, by-the-glass Argentine Malbec, and good selection of draft beer, including (rarely) a stout among all the IPAs. The caesar salad was well prepared, with the chicken especially well marinated. The lamb burger was also nicely done as was the side of fries. Hats off to this surprise we've probably passed a hundred times.

    Jacumba is a great place to discover

    We started coming here because our family photographer (XO Kim -- check out my review!) highly…read morerecommended it, and it has become our tradition after every photo session for about five years. Enticing our kids with the animals at XO Ranch and then grabbing food at Descanso Junction has been our routine that just works. It has made taking family pictures a better experience. We always bring our dogs to the photo shoot and sit outside on the patio at Descano Junction Restaurant. We have enjoyed sitting outside. There is a wooden chair that my kids love squishing themselves into. At night they have garland lights. Unfortunately the laat time we came the heater did not have gas and we were freezing. My two younger kids still opted to eat with us because they wanted to eat with our dogs and sit in the chair. Portions here are generous and priced well. Honestly, I could probably share with my youngest, but since it's a bit of a drive for us, we each get our own dish and take home leftovers. Some menu items are served only at certain times and days, so plan around that. Service has always been consistently good -- friendly and attentive, even when we're seated on the patio with the dogs. They sell dog friendly burger patties for $5.99. Our Favorite Items Smaller Bites These come with two sliders and one side. We've tried all the options and have zero complaints. Burgers My kids love the burgers here. They're a great size and always come out juicy. We order them Medium to Medium-Well. For sides, you can pick fries, potato salad, or coleslaw, or pay extra for battered onion rings, soup, or a salad (I usually upgrade). Favorites for my family: * Traditional * Bacon Cheeseburger * Ultimate Burger My favorite burger is the Mushroom Burger I'm a mushroom lover, and this one is always cooked perfectly. Taco Salad Huge. I order it with Carne Asada and it's delicious every time. BBQ Combo: You can create your own combo. Options: Jack Daniel's Tri Tip Saint Louis Style Pork Ribs Smoked Pulled Pork Desserts I'm a dessert person. I don't have a must eat here but its a good way to end the meal. We have tried the brownie, cheesecake and apple pie. If you're in the area, definitely check this place out. Great portions, fair prices, tasty food, and consistently good service. And don't forget to walk around the shops on the same lot afterward.

Had our own window side booth by the window. "Stay as long as you like," she said. Get the taco salad - huge crispy edible bowl packed throughout with chunks of grilled chicken and surprises at every level like avocado slices cheese and refried beans at the base--if you make that far! The cowboy and highway biking decor was perfect to recharge our enthusiasm for the endless mountain climb to Julian. She said watch out for rattle snakes!

We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still.

Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

Now let's talk food... the brisket was out of this world! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smokiness.

I even had to snap a "before" pic of the plate--and let's just say the "after" pic didn't survive because it was THAT good! They were out of dessert during our visit, but I'll definitely be back to try that cinnamon and lemon pound cake that customers around us were raving about. Big shoutout to Vi and to Penelope (I believe she was the cook that day) for serving up not just a meal, but an experience. The layout was super cool and very clean.
