dos besos - (Near Pasadena, CA)

Josiphina Garcia I order every morning hot oats from this location through DoorDash. Whoever is securing the bags by stapling it from end to end, thank you. I feel so secure opening my food knowing it wasn’t tampered with.

Mario Estrada Great mom and pop place for good quality Oaxacan food. The service was great and good generous portions

Holly Qubain First time dining here. I kept seeing videos of the pot pies coming up on my social media and had to bring my dad and grandmother for their birthdays to try them. I made a reservation ahead of time and the person who took our reservation was very nice and informative. She took down all of our names and the occasion we were celebrating, also made note that we were interested in the homemade pot pies (pot pies are only served Mondays and Tuesdays at this particular location.) When we arrived the hostess welcomed us all in by name, making us feel special. We were seated promptly in the "outdoor" patio. Its completely covered with views of the boats and los alomitos bay. There were 2 birthday cards displayed on our table for both my dad and grandmother, signed by restaurant staff. Super thoughtful, even the menus said happy birthday at the top! Our server Justin was so friendly and nice! My dad and grandmother both ordered pot pies and I ordered the $40 lunch 3 course meal. We all enjoyed our meals. Afterwards they also served my dad and grandmother both a beautiful plate that said happy birthday written in chocolate with a scoop of ice cream and berries. I had closen the toasted marshmallow ice cream which was served with a warm Carmel sauce. It was soooo good! As we were leaving our server informed us about their free vintage photo booth in the bar area. Such a fun memorable way to end our meal together. The parking ended up costing $6 after we used the 90 free minutes upon arriving. I will definitely be returning for a beautiful cocktail and date night with my husband next!

Adrianne James Datiles My wife and I were visiting the area, and being a Filipino-American couple were excited to find a restaurant serving Filipino food! We ordered the lumpia and Kare Kare. We were very happy with the lumpia, they were smaller in size than what we are used to but the sauce was delicious and flavors were amazing! The Kare Kare on the other hand was milder in flavor compared to other Kare Kare that I have had in the past. However, the eggplant was cooked beautifully and my wife enjoyed the vegetables The service was excellent given that there was only one server helping out at least eight different tables. Finally, the bathroom was clean however it seemed to be a work in progress. Overall, I would still like to visit again and try some of their other dishes. Next time I’m in the area. And I do think that based off of what we’ve tasted so far, it is a good introduction to Filipino cuisine.

Yoli M We absolutely loved this authentic Italian restaurant in Oceanside. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The food was truly delicious and tasted incredibly authentic, every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. You can really tell they take pride in their cuisine and service. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Italian food and a great dining experience. Great wine selection and great location, right next to the pier!!! They have a beautiful patio, equipped with outside heaters. Can’t stress how much I highly recommend this spot.

unicorns and rainbows and chicken and stars Sometimes you are fortunate enough to stumble upon a previously unknown restaurant and end up experiencing food as art. This is NOT your "get drunk and eat AYCE sushi" place (well I guess it could be)- it is an authentic Japanese dining experience with a master at the helm and his family as the amazing crew. Get the omakase menu for something as memorable in flavor as it is in appearance. Cant say enough about this place- do yourself a favor and try it. You might see me there and Im driving from San Clemente. Its THAT good.
