If you live in Escondido you've probably sat in traffic at the Washington light at least once…read more You've always wondered what Goro's is like and is it worth stopping in for a visit. I came looking for sour beers and Goro's had a large variety of Wild Barrel SOUR Beer cans. Strawberry is my favorite but they had all sorts of weird flavors like nectarine and papaya. Goro's may be a bit small, but they've maximized every square foot. They've also gone all-in on the craft beer phenomenon. This is definitely the place to go for locally made beers and seltzer.

From the moment you walk in, you feel, "Boy, oh, boy! Look at this place! I'll be here a while..."…read more First off, a very cool dog was in there. It took peak resistance for me not to pet it and be its friend. I was greeted, and asked if I needed any assistance while I was looking for a good gift for my brother more than a couple of times. After finding the winning bottle, I chose to look around see what other things they had to offer. I'm glad they have a larger selection of IPAs than hard seltzers. Even if I don't get something for myself, I like seeing that they give local breweries a chance to get their name out there

Easy on, easy off from the highway *BUT* it's a little tricky to find where they are in the stripmall. Ignore your GPS and pass it, coming from Center City and then make a U-Turn (it's right next to Arby's, in the big strip mall just to the east of Center City and north of Mission Road. They had a ton of wines inside, well labelled with info and divided into California grapes and countries. I have developed a favorite Italian wine (Forte Ambrone) at one of the Hillcrest restaurants, but I hate spending $15/glass for it, and then ordering Italian wines elsewhere that are just not quite as delicious. Found this place online, the only place listed in San Diego County that had it. $11.99/bottle! I called and they had 6 in stock, and put aside four for me. Easy in, easy out. I could have stayed and browsed some more, but I'm sticking with my Forte for now!!

I honestly cannot help I was raised in Southern California. I never mean to come off pompous, but I guess I rubbed her the wrong way one day and she had been mean to me ever since. I always greet her and she always ignores me but will speak to other customers. I usually bring my own bags, but this time I didn't and asked her for a bag, she put the bag out and told me to bag it myself. I was appalled. I am always a very nice person, ask any of the other 8 employees that work there, in addition to the owner. This behavior is simply not sustainable for good business.
