My favorite spots in Escondido are Charlie's for pie (that place is a time capsule), Suzy Q's for old school diner, Better Buzz Coffee (get one of their sandwiches), Major Market (looks unsuspecting from the outside but has a lot of cool imported food items from all over the place), Killer Pizza From Mars, and Urban Barn has cool antiques.
I want to try them all!
Major Market is amazing place to grocery shop
Suzy Q’s shut down :(
@@villagerhero8258 Noooo!!! I'm going to miss them.
Charlie’s has great biscuits and gravy but skip the hash browns
Dixon Lake is free to park inside Mon-Fri. Great views and hiking spot. Daley Ranch has construction happening on the main road but this hike is killer. My favorite food spots are Leap Coffee Roasters, Maiko Matcha, China Fun, DiCiccos Italian restaurant (great lasagna), Blue Mug Coffee, Delight of France, and the best gelato at Escogelato.
Esco born and raised ✊🏻 although I love all of San Diego, the hidden city will always be home !
Word!!!! Great comment
Grew up in Esco, and I still live here! Love that it's blowing up recently. It's been really great for the city. Also, right behind you, in the Lexus Dealership during the Promenade of the video is Vintana Wine and Dine, it's a really great date resturaunt. It's very pricey! But, it has a great patio and terrific night time views. You should check it out next time. They'll let you have a drink on the patio, but I would double check on that.
Vintana is very nice! Happy hours aren't pricey! Excellent food and cocktails!
How much is the 1b 1b apartment there?
I was born in and still live in Escondido! Honestly, when I was younger, I wanted to love somewhere else, but as I’ve grown up, I’ve grown to really love the place too. I don’t think I’d feel safer or happier anywhere else. Also, I’d recommend Filipe’s Pizza Grotto on Grande! It has my absolute favorite pizza in the world. And I’ve got to agree, Burger Bench’s food undeniably slaps-it’s cool to know that other people think the area’s nice as well! It never really occurred to me that a tourist may ever even come here so a video like this that seems very much made for visitors never even occurred to me as a possibility!
I do miss The Vineyard shopping center! Licorice Pizza, Acapulco, Surf Shop, Gentlemen’s Choice…….the theatres, book store. Damn I miss old Escondido
Thanks for covering my home town I didn’t even realize there were more gems 💎. Def check out Kennedys meat market place ( carne asada fries are my fav) and mirin cafe is a Japanese/Asian hole in a wall with some good black garlic tonkutsu ramen 🍜 . Pho Truc Xanh best service with delicious Vietnamese/ Chinese food there pho is 🤤. ❤️ your videos!
Thanks for the suggestions!
Escondido has great trails for running and biking like San Diegito River Park that goes all the way to the ocean, Elfin Forest, and Daley Ranch.
I know where those places are at
Thank you for featuring Escondido. It's my hometown and I love it.
Love this Jay, always have watched your video for San Diego hidden gems and appreciate you exploring my town Escondido💯💯
The wrangler bbq, lake Hodges, H brothers, China bros, rock n’ Jenny’s Italian subs, Fridas, primos next to red wings. Chicken soup from Lourdes either at it’s regular location or even in the shell gas station. Jilberto's off E valley parkway next to Vallarta supermarket. As far as San Diego county Farmer boys is only in esco (2 egg breakfast sandwich) so good.
So awesome! Loved seeing you hit all the local spots.
Nice video Jay! Always shining a light across the city
Gotta show love to the entire county! Thanks bro, i stopped by the new store yesterday, looks awesome! Was hoping to catch u but it was late afternoon
Dude, great video!! Im ready to check out Escondido now! Im also in mira mesa so i cant wait to spend half a day out of the house and see more of the finest city!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the video! It gives us alternatives when we get to travel to SD. Beers featured looked amazing.
Yes! Escondido has some great spots!
Thank you for the shout out of Burger Bench. The Taco Burger is one of my favs, too. Cheers!
Love Burger Bench! Owners and staffs are wonderful and so friendly.
Every Friday something to look forward to cruising Grand hotspot for custom cars classics Hot rods hope to see you all there 👍🏻
Great video. I love my hometown. 💜 Next time highlight the many parks in Escondido: Felicita Park, Dixon Lake, Kit Carson.
Wow, congrats on the KPBS show, that's awesome.
I grew up in Escondido, would definitely recommend checking out the schedule for the California Center for the Arts. It has great performances year round.
Good job, Jay! Shoutout for Kettle Coffee & Tea on Grand. Didn’t think I could get Kyoto cold brew in Escondido.
Great video, you hit a lot of the great spots. 👍
Thanks for the excellent video .It looks like there is plenty to do ,the food looks delicious and didn't know about the wineries.
Plenty to do! Yup a few wineries in the area
My boyfriend's aunt owns the brunch café in downtown Escondido, a delight of France. Its so good. They're opening a new location a few doors down. You should check it out in October when it opens!
Great video sir!!!
Back in the fifties 1951 my grandma bought a house behind the Dairy coming in from the south on the 15 I remember growing up as a kid Escondido was a small tiny town
Hey Jay! I recently got my youth opportunity pass for MTS and NCTD (north county transit district) and I saw your video on how to get around San Diego and I would like to see a video on NCTD. Just an Idea if you can make a separate video only for NCTD in more details like transportation routes and other tips. Would like to see that so I can explore Southern California, Thanks!
You did pretty great 👍🏼 Escondido is home and beautiful, and I hope others see more with this video
Good vlog. Very nice city, always go by there when in SD. 💕
Nice! Yup gotta pass it on the way to vegas haha
Thanks for visiting my home town of Escondido. 😊
Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would see Escondido on my RUclips recommended 😂
Growing up in Eastside Escondido and still living here I love this video.
Great video on my hometown! Glad you showed Sports Fever. That's where I get all my Padres gear when I visit home. Gooooo Padres!
Visiting next week. We're looking in the general Vista area for a place for my mother-in-law to move to, once she graduates on Thursday.
Loving the videos, man!
Thats great Donny! Hope u find a nice place for her!
Lake Dixon and lake wohlford are a couple great outdoor/recreation spots
I love the used book store on Grand Ave. There's another great sports store on the first level of North County mall.
The Escondido transit center is a classic gem!!!
Since we’re all throwing out local spots, Lourdes has the bomb chicken soup for a rainy day, Mikko sushi (amazing), Craft and Taco Lounge ( great tacos and beer), and The Sideyard Public House has the one of the best craft beer tap lists in all of Esco!
Escondido is a great place stay when I'm visiting San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park. Cool video.
One of these days ill make my return to safari park!
LOVE Burger Bench! Especially since they got Mezclajeté Especial Hot Sauce to have with the Burger & Fries.
Thanks so much for this video! Never visited although i did live in San Diego. I did visit Encinites which i loved. Can you do a video there?
Love encinitas! I have a couple videos featuring encinitas up on the channel check it out
Years ago I lived in Escondido! Wow it has changed so much !
classic car cruise awesome !
Yup sounds fun
Been watching jaycation for years planning on going to SD. Now we're here and man, didnt expect SD is huge! Im fr Manila by d way. Been to places you featured. Thanks jay! Now enjoying CA!
@@MrRusell86 MNL is Manila abbreviated. Editted.
Thanks for watching and hope u enjoy CA!
I grew up in Escondido. It's funny how I used to hate it when I still lived there, but seeing videos like this makes me realize how much I miss it now. Thanks for putting the spotlight on our city!
Nice! Yeah u dont know what youre missing til youre gone. I moved to Barcelona for 2 years and really missed SD
das right putting “ hidden City “ 📍on the map , respect bro dope video🤝🏾 💯
escondido is such a cool sounding word and name for a place ,those fritters were huge ! couldnt go hungry eating one of them
Haha tons of songs named escondido
Thank you for showing love to Escondido, Joey at burgeon and the burgeon team rad peeps.
Some honorable mentions... Mikes BBQ, Saigon Express, Surf Bros, Pad Thai rest, Brigantine
Peterson’s is fire and cruising grand is always fun to go to when you can.
Those donuts looked quite good tonight. That Cali burrito looked up my alley. Haven’t had a carne asada burrito 🌯 in awhile.
I grew up there, I always love heading back
Dope video being born and raised here 🙌 not many videos are recorder here either lol
Urban Barn on Grand Ave is the best hidden gem for shopping by far! They have something for everyone; new, antique, men's, tools, baby stuff, and furniture. Much better than a dying mall that doesn't have Nordstrom's or Cheesecake factory anymore.
Who told you our mall doesn’t have Cheesecake Factory
Hey jay currently waiting for flight from Vancouver to SD hope to see u around
Nice! Have a great trip to SD!
I live in Escondido and I been living 6 years and i still live here and my favorite place is juniper street and the mall and swamp meet and Washington park and my favorite restaurant el Indio I love living in Escondido
Lived here my whole life definitely don’t agree with some recommendations some people have thrown out in the comments lol but wanted to add my favorite restaurant! Pho Truc Xanh it’s the best authentic Vietnamese food you can have here. I have been going there since I was a kid! It is a hidden gem with the most welcoming environment, the nicest staff who treat you like family and will remember your order, and Pho you will never forget Unfortunately they are closing soon and moving around San Diego County but as a loyal customer it’s a restaurant I would follow anywhere!
Very unassuming on the outside
:o do you know how soon?? I don’t want to wait too long!
@@annadan318 I believe in October/November they are moving to vista on Sycamore! By skater bros!
Thank you for coming back to San Diego I couldn't see Vegas videos ...too much memory there with my ex wife 😭
BFF lives here was so neat to see her town.
You need to try Filippi's Pizza Grotto on Grand Ave. The pizza is the BEST!!
Love it! I used to go to the mira mesa location after baseball!
Agreed....Other filippis exist but they have a different dressing for their antipasto salad that's better than the rest
A new taco spot that I highly recommend is adelitas tacos. Starting at 3 pm they have outdoor tj style tacos with a self serve bar that includes tj style guac, beans, cucumbers, and salsas. The food has so much flavor. Los charros is another Mexican food favorite. Also Chitos near the mall has a really good California burrito and chile relleno burrito is good too. Kotijas is good too (I think they refry beans with pork fat/ manteca). Mirins Cafe has really good Japanese food.
So much great mexican food there!
When you say you think they refry their beans with Manteca, I hope you mean that as a "Good thing" because that's how we grew up...hehe! And we used to make fun of our neighbors because they used OIL!! (Those were the days!...lol 😝!)
Felicita park is a county park that is great.
So many nice parks in Escondido! Thats what i love about that area. I discovered Grape park while driving. Huge purple grape in the playground haha
@@Jaycation yes and right across street fro Children’s Museum.
ALOHA our dearest friend.... I use to live in Vista which is close to Escondido... Good 👍 information...
Nice! Former vista resident. Thats cool!
Try the cali burrito or birria at Dos Vaqueros! Authentic mexican food
Mom and I loved episode #1 Out of the Boondocks on KPBS. That was a fun show. Momma Spencer said tell JayJay I want a tee shirt for summer hahahaha, 75 years old this july, gonna buy in on your store bro.
Thanks for watching dude! So glad the show is out. Thanks for the support
Escondido is totally a 'hidden gem' of San Diego! Haha, I used to always buy my Padres gear from that same Dick's Sporting Goods and from Sports Fever! Now living in Las Vegas, it's SO HARD to find Padres's gear out here?!?! Love the Wild Animal Park and you are close to a majority of the Tribal casinos. As a former dancer, I used to take classes at the dance studio right on Grand Ave 👍 Saw my first dance concert of my favorite dance company, Alvin Alley at the EPAC (Escondido Performing Arts Center).
Thats awesome Luke! Sports Fever is a san diego staple!
What's up Jaycation hope you had a good day.
The GOAT! Hope all is well
i live here ily ESCONDIDO ❤
Hey, I work right next to that sign! LOL It is gorgeous around here, there are restaurants that rival downtown San Diego. Stop by Cute Cakes for a cupcake worthy of the Gods! I'm going to have to find that Filipino food!!! Thank you Jay!!!!
Love Cute Cakes! Their butter cake is amazing same with their 3 cheese tomato panini!
I’m so bummed you walked right by Plan 9 on Grand! They are a truly homegrown Esco brewery and they have great beers as their brewing system has grown but is even still more of a nanobrewery. Try them next time! Stoked you hit up Burger Bench - their beer list is always incredible and flush thanks to my man Adam!
def don't try this place.
Next time you are around Escondido you should visit Valley Thrift Store. It has a great selection of brand clothing and other good stuff.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Escondido is my home town tons of memories.
I fun fact! If you would like to play a SUPER fun game that only the locals know about... Go to the corner of 8th and Quince and throw up the D sign (with your hand) in the air and hold it there until one of the friendly locals come over and give you your prize!
ENJOY!
Peterson's donuts. A++
There is a Meadery on Grand called Good Omen Mead. It is amazing.
whoh tat westfield mall is literally down from where i used to live during my childhood at lakeside apartments. geez and teir is was also te community college down te street from where i live too. that sure beats any day having to take the bus from my place in sactown down to crc college.
in love with my hometown! 💋
Ayee this my hometown! My fav places are Frida’s Tacos and Rock N Jennys 😍
rock n jenny =🐐
Try Chicken Plus. Not a chain. Perfect grilled chicken, salads and gyros. We love it!
I'm going to Orfila Winery there today!
My hometown this one’s a hit :)
You should try Fridas Taqueria. One of the best cali burritos i have had is from there
Pickled carrots! So good!😋
Hi I live in Escondido and yes all thoses place are excellent but, next time yes Fourtuna, Sushi Yama Mi Guadalajara is a must.
Burgeon started in Carlsbad. Its nice they expanded out
Great Job 👏
On your next visit here in escondido you need to visit TJ Tacos 🌮 and el camaron restaurant🦐 and vintana restaurant 🥩 and video cruising grand on Friday’s 😎👍
Thanks for the suggestions!
El camaron lol
I've lived in Escondido my whole life. TJ tacos is the BEST taco shop we've ever had.
Nice lil vlog jay...as a long pinoy in Esco it used to be Avocado farms bc of the heat..Others have noted places that I've agreed but DM me if you come again house for a classic soup. Just to clarify, Nordstrom most closed since pandemic and Petersons, although it's a new owner since Jan 2022, still accepts debits cards for payment they just charge .50 per transaction, with min amount. ✊✌
Escogelato BEST homemade gelato in San Diego Co.
RiP to the Iceoplex
A local favorite im guessing?
@@Jaycation It was the ultimate place to have a birthday party or team celebration.
@@tiki_t @Jaycation get your ice-skate on! Lol
Gotta hit up Rally’s, Mexico Lindo and Petersons. Panchos seafood and grill has $4 micheladas
Rallys by Circle K?
@@PumaM90 yea sir!
That Mexican Place on El Norte Parkway and Escondido Blvd, best tasting carne asada, check that out. And I'm hoping that little shaved ice place that was near Broadway opens up this summer. Best real shaved ice, not crushed snow cone ice.
Next time try Jilberto's Mexican Food. The same plaza as the Regal movie theater. Great job on the video! 👍
TJ tacos! Gotta go there!
100%
Thanks for the rec!
Okay I gotta ask!!!! I've been wanting to collab with you as a fellow San Diego RUclipsr!! Down to try new food, new restaurants! LETS GO!
Downtown is getting revamped! Definitely a good place to move to.
You should have hit up four tunas! Burros and fries is a chain you can find throughout San Diego, not just in Esco. Also recommend TJ tacos and Frida's Tacos.
mi rancho tacos is the spot. right next to the donut corner too which is great
Im a Escondido local you definitely touched on some local spots but missed quite a few next time let’s link I’ll take you around on the hidden of the hidden city lol
I also love the classic donuts. That said, you missed the mark by going to Petersens instead of Savoy Donuts on Auto Parkway.
Gotta hit up Barrel Republic on grand self serve beer!
Drove by it when i saw maple street plaza!
@@Jaycation also gotta hit up Orfila winery
