A huge shoutout to the bartender and the barback; they were absolutely hilarious and provided such amazing service, which really made the night. I also ordered an espresso martini, and it was so good--definitely one of the best I've had.

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.

Lots of people brought their own food (some with full on dinners and dessert). You can buy food there also. We had lots of fun. We'll definitely come back and see other shows.

I felt like I walked through a wormhole into the golden days of local brews. This place feels like if Bates Nut Farm had a brewery, in the best way. It's not flashy but doesn't need to be. The decor perfectly matches the neighborhood it's in; this is a place my dad would've stopped in for a beer after he worked a double shift. There's a timelessness to it. To boot: good beer. The Bill's Big Belgian is great. Boozy and kind of funky, sort of reminds me of a Flander's Red but just more brown. Good stuff. The Dragon Fire spicy fruit ale is no joke either. One taster is plenty, it packs a fiery punch. Service was friendly and accommodating. Place was exceptionally clean and the vibe was easy.

The result is a great experience for the customer. Vintana has a wide selection of food and wine to choose from. If you are into vodka, you have come to the right place as they have a bigger selection than any restaurant I have ever been too. The ahi stack is my go-to as it is a great portion that leaves you satisfied but not too full. In summary, Vintana is a great place to go for a good meal, great service and a really relaxing time. As far as attire goes, while some people are casual, I do see more people that tend to dress to impress, which I certainly appreciate. It is nice to have a restaurant where you can go in a dress and heels (like I normally wear) or casual clothes and feel equally comfortable in both.

They sat us at one of the semi circle booths, and even had rose petals on the table. Ambiance is 10/10. Our server was Ireland and she was the best. Pacing was on point with the wine, appetizer, main course, and dessert. Great vibes and knowledgable on the food, when we had questions. Service was also a 10/10. The bread with their special butter was a great starter 8/10. The ceviche is probably the best I've ever had. I recommend eating the pepper that it's in, especially if you like spice... 11/10. We also had the cioppino and salmon, which were both delicious 9/10. This place is a must, if you're in North county. Oh and did I forget to mention that it's right above a Lexus dealership, which is pretty cool and unique. Overall a great place for a date or if celebrating something special.
