List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Oceanside, California (Part 2)

Rowena Reno Following a recent cousins wedding on the Oceanside Harbor Beach, Dominics hosted 50 or more family & friends to a wonderful dinner reception. Hats off to him for being onsite & engaging with everyone, as though they were his family! As for the food, I heard nothing but positive comments about all of it! The tiramisu seemed to be a big hit with most of the guests. I loved the buttery garlic breadsticks & penne pasta. Both were really good! I highly recommend stopping by Dominics for a meal and/or planning a party to experience it yourself!

Lucero Rodriguez This beach spot cafe is hands down the best I’ve ever been to. I came here to study and ended up accomplishing a lot of studying while enjoying the beautiful beach and delicious food. I even met the owners, who were incredibly friendly. There were so many loyal local customers who came to visit with their pets, which made me feel like I was part of their community. I’m not even from here; I just came to study and grab a bite by the beach. I’m so glad I checked this place out. I hope to visit again in the near future.

Linda Mosel My friend said the food was excellent. She was spot on. Went for brunch. Had the reuben and eggplant sandwiches plus an order of fries. For dessert the chocolate cake; hot chocolate to drink. The best and most flavorful meal I have had in San Diego!! Ruby who waited on us was kind and made us feel very special for my birthday celebration. Thank you, Ruby. You made this a birthday meal I will never forget! The Plot is fortunate to have you!

Tiffany P We walked by shortly after they opened and they welcomed us graciously even without a reservation. It’s very clear though that it’s best to make a reservation for the future, as this is a very busy restaurant. The staff were very kind, and the food service was quick! Food was excellent and filling, and in my opinion, the prices were fair. Overall a great time. Just a note, I think I would try a different skewer in the future because while the tuna was good, I think it lacked a little flavor compared to the other dishes we ordered.

matthew cortez Best guamanian food ever. Large portions fried rice is amazing and the noodles are to die for

Naomi R Price is very reasonable, the menu had a nice combo of Japanese dishes and Sushi. Definitely hit the spot for me!

Kareem Pinkston Hill Street Brewing is finally open in South Oceanside and theyre bringing some great food, barbecue and brew to the Oceanside community. I attended their soft opening, and Im very impressed with the decor of the inside and the fact that they are leaning into a perspective of "locals-forward" in their business approach. So far, Im thoroughly enjoying the drinks and that the place is very clean and well organized. Service is extremely friendly, even though many of them are just learning the ropes. They have a full bar filled with whiskey, tequila, rum, and many mixers. One of the aspects that I can truly appreciate is that they will be having local discounts, military discount discounts, $.75 wings on Wednesdays and also a bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekends. Ive heard that they will even have an upstairs private room that can be used for private events, bachelor parties, football get together and will also be part of a membership program. Hill Street Brewing also enlisted the skills of the MasterChef Kennedy, and she is able to specialize and not only superior meats and barbecue, but also vegetarian and vegan dishes. I can also appreciate that they have a heavy duty smoker on premise that will supply authentic smoked barbecue made in-house.

Kelly I am a little bit in love with this place. I love its fresh, natural ingredients and wines. I love how it understands proper Italian food. I love the intimate patio seating. I love that porchetta is on the menu and that the lasagne Bolognese tastes a little bit like home but like an elevated restaurant dish at the same time. Our server was great as well. We loved the food and have vowed to return for the pizza soon. Truly, just a gorgeous, happy little spot that I cant say enough nice things about!

Danielle Roel The food was top tier and the service was great - unobtrusive and anticipative which is what I’m always looking for. I would DEFINITELY order the artichoke, amazing dish, and the chicken sandwich is really great as well. I like that they used chicken thigh instead of breast for the sandwich, gave it a way juicier flavor. The Brussels sprouts also have this incredible flavor with Mediterranean nut mix on top. The food quality paired with the view is unmatched.

Chuck Green The food was great i had the cali burrito and carne Asada was good, kids had fun with the games. They were about a $1 each which was reasonable. They had an atm, make change and coin for bills.

christopher lee The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. Not overcooked, and the sausage is handmaid in-house. Not the ones you buy from supermarkets. Orange juice was freshly squeezed, the thin waffles tasty & chewy! Overall, it was great & especially outdoor dining overlooking the beach. It was wonderful......Cant beat it!

Leana Hardgrave Tried out this very fun spot on opening weekend and it was great all around. The vibe is that of a food truck park with a central bar, shared seating, and multiple food options. My husband tried the burrito from one, a craft cocktail from Crackheads, and I tried a Philly cheese steak from another - all were delicious!! The tables had plenty of shade for San Diegos sunny weather, they had lawn games, sand areas, fire pits, and just a really great space to enjoy. With an amazing space and great food options, I know this will be the first of many visits here for me!

Mike Ganrude Phenomenal tacos! The Asada and Pastor are both incredible and I love the hand made tortillas. Not only the best in the area, but some of the best Ive ever had.

Manny Mo First time here. The food was amazing. ROB provided nice friendly service. The music was just right, we could have a conversation without having to yell. Hidden gem in Oceanside. We will definitely return to try other items on the menu.
