Opinions de The Villa on Grand Escondido
My husband Daniel and I have been wanting to come in and check out the Villa on Grand for a minute. I am so glad we finally made it out. We were welcomed immediately by the friendly staff and the overall esthetic was comforting. We ordered the Classic French Toast, Chilaquiles with red sauce; over medium egg and a Michelada! We were served the Churro French Toast and our eggs were over hard. The waitress asked if we wanted them to make us a Classic French Toast but we were satisfied with what we received and took it as an upgrade! That did not stop the amazing flavors that we received from both meals and we will absolutely return for a second visit. The staff were incredibly nice and definitely love serving the community and that is what matters! If you have not made it out to try this wonderful Mexican cuisine please do yourself a favor and just do it! You won’t be disappointed.
Fish and poblano taco with a Michelada. It was all delicious!! Hand made corn tortillas are so soft. Can't wait to come back!
Modern, casual atmosphere. Friendly service, great tacos. My companions and I ordered seven tacos, rice and beans, and chips and guac. First off: The chips are served warm, seasoned, and delicious. The guac is great and runs a close second to the gold standard, [redacted]. With drinks, we spent about $73, which is a lot more than you’d spend on street tacos, but each taco runs $5-6. Your average adult would probably eat three tacos.
The food was amazing! I order red chilaquiles, pancakes, tortilla chicken soup and flan. Pancakes are Delicious. The soup was good too. Flan as well. Overall i will come again. The place is nice and clean. very spacious! Service was wonderful, they checked up on me every now and then.
My second visit and this place is still providing consistent quality, service, and overall yumminess! The first time was 2 months ago and I ordered to go a surf & turf burrito and chips & guac. This time we ate in and had carne asada burrito and a grilled shrimp plate combo. Their portion and flavor quality for price is well aligned. Customer service is always great! The ambiance of the place is relaxing and comfortable. I am going to get the flan next time because I couldn't fit it in on this trip!
I was pleasantly surprised to find out the tortillas are made in-house. 🥹
I came in to try the chilaquiles based on a positive review and I was not disappointed! They were amazing 😍 my family had pancakes, eggs, and the California burrito. Every thing was made fresh and was delicious. The construction on grand ALMOST made me change my mind but I'm sooooo thankful I didn't because I wouldn't have found this amazing gem. They have all day breakfast and a wonderful staff that makes you feel at home. We can't wait to come back!
Such a cute place on Grand Ave. Got the chance to talk to the owner Maria and she is so nice and working so hard to make The Villa super special. My burrito was so big I only ate half (lunch tomorrow!). my wife's taco was just the size she wanted. The flavors were right on. super good, fresh ingredients. We will be back! (note: we have been back several times- always great!
If you’re looking for great Mexican food this is the place to be!! Brand new in town and quality ingredients! I had the surf & turf burrito, chicken flautas, seasoned fries, and a churro + flan for dessert. Love supporting small businesses with great owner's for an affordable price — 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you to The Villa on Grand for hosting our Young Professionals event! The space was perfect, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Everyone loved the food and the care put into making our event a success. We truly appreciate your hospitality and look forward to partnering again in the future! Highly recommend this venue for a get together 🫶
Everything was soo delicious and the service was fantastic. The food came out so fast and everything was very high quality. The owner was attentive and gave us great recommendations. What a great hidden gem in Oceanside!

I really liked my Cali eggs Benedict with the potato and churro French toast.

A real treat and the food is amazing! So fresh and tasty! I enjoyed every bite and I even had to bring some home . The tacos are killer! Home made tortillas were top notch. The price was very fair for the quality of food. The service was amazing! 10/10

This place is an absolute have to try! The food was spectacular, everything was made fresh
Clean and spacious, friendly staff, and delicious food! We will definitely be back.
Good food ,great service and a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
Poblano chile was delicious as well as the huevos rancheros. Fresh ingredients. Friendly service. Had a nice conversation about chiles.
WARRNING !!!!! Got your attention? They just opened today. I have been in town for over 36 years. Local business owner. Always want support local business but especially those that are jumping in to be in business. Ok enough intro. The Owners / Staff all welcoming. Great selections not overload. Had carne Asada tacos,Carne Asada burrito,Alpastor fries and surf turf burrito. Everything was delicious !!!! Carne Asada had those nice pieces with some char ( If know what I mean then you know what I mean,Yum) Do yourselves a favor and your taste buds favor and support this new restaurant. Sincerely,Frank C
Our new favorite place. The food is delicious and the service friendly and attentive. We have been in several times for dinner and breakfast and everything we have tried has been great. A must try.
Such delicious artistry comes out of this kitchen! Now that the Grand construction is mostly completed, I predict this place will be mobbed. Their green chilaquiles are to die for!!!
Yes, there are tacos and burritos everywhere. The difference with The Villa is their ingredients and freshness! Had the soyrizo breakfast burrito, potato taco and a chicken quesadilla. Honestly one of the better mexican restaurants I’ve tasted in a while. Can’t wait to go back!
We had a wonderful lunch at the Villa. Buttered Fish Taco and a Carne Asada burrito were delicious and service was great. Definitely give them a try
Came across this on the Internet. Had good reviews. Went to try it… And it was probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had! You need to try this.!!
Love this place! Such delicious tacos!! However they marinate the meat makes them super tasty!
Food is amazing and is authentic Mexican!! The service was so kind and really makes you feel at home. Will totally come here again!!
My wife and I were waited on by the owner who was so nice. The food was amazing. Very clean with great service! We’ll be back
The best Al Pastor fries ever and they let me substitute the onions and cilantro for crema and cojita.. omggggg i could rave for hours about this place... everything here is good.. and they deliver to pounders next door.. i love this place..
This place is super good. Their breakfast was amazing. The service was very good and friendly. Will be back for sure. Better than swamis..
Great little place with excellent food. The service is excellent, and the location is perfect. Begin here and then walk Grand.
Great food! We had tacos and burritos. All were high quality food and very tasty.
Fantastic food! My favorite new mexican restaurant. The food quality was high. Try the home made horchata!
Very good bacon and potato breakfast burrito. Very friendly staff.
Great Tacos 🌮 Very kind atmosphere.
Great new local restaurant. Clean,friendly,tasty. Check this out!
Love this place! The food is delicious and the customer service is great!
The breaded fish taco was great Way better than rubies
Yum yum great taco! Go for it!
Enjoyed completely. Fun place to enjoy vacation.
Excellent beans! Fresh and tasty. Friendly service.
Fast, friendly, homemade authenticity, and the salsa… ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 💫
Great Mexican food! Had no idea this was a Mexican restaurant, glad we tried it! Will definitely eat here again. Highly recommend!
Very good food, especially the chilaquiles, the service was great and staff were friendly, 10 out of 10 would recommend
Popped in on Tuesday on a recommendation and so glad we did. We got surprised with Taco Tuesday specials and they were absolutely excellent. So delicious and beautifully presented. Maria who I believe is the proprietary was so gracious and welcoming and friendly. I can't wait to go back. Prices were great also. And love the decor. Hope the road construction will be done soon to help their foot traffic. But you can park on the side street and it's easily accessible.
If you haven’t been to The Villa on Grand, you’re missing out! From the moment we walked in, the kindness and service were top-notch. Super clean and comfortable. The food? Even better. We tried the Flautas, a variety from the Taco Selection, and even their American Breakfast—and every single dish was amazing. Their house-made Horchata and Jamaica are absolute must-haves, and don’t skip out on their flavorful homemade salsas—they tie everything together perfectly. Whether you’re in the mood for classic Mexican flavors or a solid breakfast plate, The Villa on Grand delivers. Highly recommend!
My mountain bike buddy and I try to find a new taco joint every Friday after our ride. Most are satisfactory but not noteworthy. We just found this place and were so pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding! They had great patience and thorough answers to my questions about sizes, ingredients, options, etc. They also explained the sauce options, checked on us to see if everything was okay, and refilled our drinks. And the tacos were AWESOME! Definitely going back.
Food was delicious! We got the Cali Surf and Turf burrito and the beef tostada. Uh-mazing!!! Definitely 5 stars! Service was wonderful and decór was spot on!
Amazing quality and service, Maria is a wonderful and sweet person extremely welcoming. Delicious food, our mission is to try the entire menu. Each item we've tried is so good, we keep coming back! :) Reminds me of family home cooking. You can taste the love and hard work they put into every dish, ensuring the food tastes amazing. 20/10 will always return. Added bonus: breakfast on the weekends, Pancakes, Chicken Fried Steak, are perfect! We are trying the Chilaquiles and Eggs today.... I need seconds.
REALLY cute spot, very clean, kind staff & the food is great! I got the carne asada fries which were the perfect portion size with a fair amount of toppings to fries ratio. Their red salsa was super good too! They were open despite the road construction with lots of inside seating. First time coming here and will definitely be back!
Food is really good! Had the al pastor burrito and a mimosa. Perfect. My husband had the carne asada and egg plate (was a special). He loved it. Happy to have a good, new spot in Escondido! Really hope this spot succeeds. Now parking is fixed on grand, so its easier to get to. Will come back and try the other stuff on the menu. They have a lot on their menu which is great. Plus I liked they have mimosas lol.
We tried Villa on Grand tonight! Such a cool place. We were greeted & helped, super friendly, and the food was awesome! We tried multiple tacos, rolled tacos, rice, and beans. All the hot sauces were delicious! Will for sure be back to try breakfast! A new favorite spot!
Excellent all around. Great for vegetarians too. Customer service is a 10 friendly and always kind. Come here today!!!
1st time there. Had a breakfast burrito which was delicous. Ingredients were well portioned and fresh. Restaurant was clean and comfortable with the menu having a little something for everyone. We will be back again
Everything starts with the person taking your order. She was pleasant and accommodating. The place is clean, well lit, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The food was amazing. The chips are fresh and seasoned well. I had the breakfast burrito (Yes, for dinner!), my wife had the carne asada burrito, and my son had the quesadilla. We also ordered the chips and salsa. All of it was fantastic. Price was reasonable. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone. Family owned and they are working hard to make this place beautiful.
Sophia and Ryan helped me out when I was having some difficulty making it to the store front due to the traffic and road closures caused by an event. They were so sweet and made sure I got my order. I really appreciate them and the food/ Jamaica was sooooo delicious. Loved the salsas as well; they tast fresh and hace the perfect spice for me! can’t wait to come back and bring my family because the food is amazing.Thank you Ryan and Sophia.
So delicious! My husband and I have been here a couple times and loved it each time. We’ve had several of their tacos, but our favorites are probably the queso, carnitas, and grilled shrimp (although everything was good). I’d also highly recommend the chips (served fresh and hot with a yummy seasoning) and guacamole, and the refried beans are a must. Honestly, we haven’t had anything here we didn’t like. The service is also great. While you order at the counter, they bring your food to you and always check in to see how things are. Parking: the construction on grand (Jan 2025) is NOT blocking the restaurant. It’s very easy to get to.
Had a lovely lunch here today! The restaurant was pristine, friendly service, and the tacos we had were great! Loved all of their vegetarian options and their prices were fair. The food was very fresh and full of flavor. We all agreed that the price point was great, especially for the high quality of the food. I would definitely recommend trying them out and I can’t wait to come back for breakfast very soon!!
This casual dining spot in downtown esondido meets our expectation. If you are looking for a good quality Mexican food definitely should give this place a try! We will be coming back! 👍🏻
I had a great dining experience at The Villa restaurant! I ordered the shrimp burrito, and my fiancé had the el pastor burrito. Both had great flavor and definitely filling. We also shared the spicy carrots, which were perfectly seasoned and complemented our meals. The prices were very reasonable for the quality we received. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting the owner, Maria. She was absolutely lovely and went out of her way to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Her passion for the restaurant is evident in every detail. Highly recommend dining here—you won’t be disappointed!
Wow! The Burrito Especial, is my new favorite in Esco. Our family of 5 went on a rainy Thursday. Maria and the staff were so flexible and patient as my three boys took their sweet time deciding what to order. All three boys enjoyed their food, a rarity! Even the chips are amazing. We finished with churros for the kids and flan for the adults. Delicious, great service, great atmosphere!
I've been 4 times since first learning of The Villa last month. Everything I've had has been delicious! The decor & vibe are great too. The owner & staff are super sweet and helpful. So far my favs are the Chorizo Burrito, Chicken Tortilla soup, Poblano taco, Carne Asada Taco, Carnitas Taco, Chorizo hash & Pancakes. I can't recommend enough! Grand Ave is undergoing some major improvements but don't let that keep you from trying The Villa!
Staff was very helpful and gave great recommendations. Taco Tuesday is an excellent day to visit
Great food and nice owners and workers. Like everything I've tried Really good salsa Wish the stayed open later.
phenomenal service, phenomenal food, probably the best chips I’ve had in a Mexican restaurant. They have a great seasoning that they put on it. A must visit if you’re in downtown Escondido will definitely be coming back here.
The Carnitas combo was excellent, the carnitas where not fatty at all and very tasty, the tortillas was sufficient to eat all the food with and great portions, my husband ate all but I had to take a little my own made burrito with my left overs and guacamole was very fresh homemade, love it will be back for the Birria!
Tried out this spot. Food was very good, staff was attentive. Had the chicken fried steak and eggs, quesadilla, fish, carnitas and carne asade taco...for now. So many other options...will definitely be back to try more
Such great quality Mexican for worth every penny price point. Something on the menu for the whole family. Came for lunch while walking in downtown Escondido. Everything we ordered notably fresh to order. Husband got pollo asada burrito, meat was BBQ’d and not dry. Little guy got a fish taco and side beans. Crunchy especial and potato taco for me, will be back for both! No sides-pickled onions, guacamole, cheese not skimped 🙌 Chill vibe, owners came by to say hi and ask us how everything was. Oh, and don’t skip on the Jamaica!
They just opened in July of 2024. We went here for lunch and ordered a few different things, just to try it out. My favorite was the Breakfast Burrito. We also had the Carne Asada Burrito and a Chicken Quesadilla. The guacamole is to die for and make sure to try out their sauces. The portions are big, so we even had dinner leftovers. Can’t wait to go back and try the tacos!
I've been several times, and we've gotten a variety of tacos and burritos. It's EXCELLENT. The last thing I would do is open a Mexican restaurant in San Diego -- but they did it and they are pulling it off. This place is now tied for first for my favorite Tacos in San Diego, and that's serious business.
I recently visited this new modern Mexican food spot and was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the carne asada and pollo adobada tacos, and they were not only a good size but also packed with flavor. They definitely don't skimp out on the meat, which made each bite satisfying. To top it off, I tried the churro, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty Mexican food!
I have just fallen in love with this place :D The energy that the owners and team bring every single visit is just so refreshing!!! What they absolutely nail are all those thoughtful finishing touches - not just in their food, but even the TLC they put into packing away your to-go orders…not to mention their consistently outstanding service. It’s also incredibly clean in there, all the time!!! So happy to have another gem in the downtown. The Villa makes the best crema I’ve ever had! Grilled shrimp burrito is my favorite - and their salsas are spectacular. I just love it here!!!!
The Villa is a place we go to almost every weekend, and it never disappoints. Everything we’ve ordered has been delicious. My go-to is the battered fish and battered shrimp tacos , consistently flavorful and perfectly cooked. We recently tried the tortilla soup and it was amazing. Overall, the food is solid Mexican cuisine with a higher-end flavor profile, and nothing feels greasy or heavy. We genuinely love it here and keep coming back for a reason.
Some of the best, most unique Mexican food around. Hands down the best carnitas burrito I’ve had! The staff are super friendly as well. We had a group of 12, 6 distinct orders. They kept coming out from behind the counter to offer free refills on drinks even though it’s not that type of place with a wait staff. The chips and guacamole were also amazing. The 4 types of salsa were readily available o. The tables and very fresh. Super airy, clean dining area. Prices are very reasonable as well.
Food was delicious. We had burritos and tacos and all were great. Both the corn and flour tortillas and the refried beans were authentic and yummy. Service was friendly, welcoming, helpful and quick. Sad we don't live close as this would become a regular spot for our family. The decor was very nice as well.

I love the food here. I get the combo plate and chorizo and egg burrito pretty often. I love the green salsas. My other spot is going downhill in quality, so I'm very grateful for this place. HOWEVER. This "appetizer" guac I paid $10 for is culinary robbery. This is not 8 ounces of guac. This is maybe 5 ounces of guac in an 8 ounce container topped with 1 ounce of cheese and garnish and 2 ounces of air. NOT COOL. Do better.
Really enjoyed eating here. I brought my family who also have the food and service good ratings. I had a grilled fish taco and a veggie taco. I felt they were a little small for the price. The fish taco has good flavor and sauces but the veggie taco was mostly sauce. Really needed more vegetables. There wasn't much in it. The place is very clean and modern. Is come here again perhaps to try some of their breakfast items (served all day).
We stopped for lunch on a Saturday. Be advised that at the moment there is major construction on the street in front and you will need to dodge barricades, but go anyway! This is a place where you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. We gave service 5 stars although there really is not much to it. The atmosphere is very nice, everything is clean and new and enjoyable. However, the raison d'etre of a restaurant is the food and we found it very bland. For starters, the chips are great, well seasoned and hot, but not included. Get them anyway. There are a lot of burritos on the menu, but not really anything that you would call vegetarian. And the burrito especial was good, but unremarkable. We also had a a shredded beef tostada with rice and beans. The beans were extremely bland. The rice not much flavor either. I was surprised that the shredded beef also was very bland. You are given four hot sauces to try and only the next to hottest had a good flavor. The two mildest ones were very bland and not hot at all. Even the hottest, which we think was a habanero, was just spicy without much more flavor. We really try to support local businesses and so regret having to generously give this a 4 star rating. We hope they will take our comments to heart.

The Carnitas taco had a reasonable if not generous amount of meat considering the $5.30 price, but most of it was very chewy. The tortilla was tasty, and I guess house-made. Four excellent salsas are available in squeeze bottles: a mild and a medium green, a medium hot red chile, and a very hot orange Habanero. Tortilla chips are $5.00 for a basket, but you can get a small number of them for $2.00 and they're warm and fresh with some kind of tasty seasoning.

Great place to pickup a bite on the go!
Must visit a great test.
Had the green chilaquiles added carne asada ,food was good , service was great, very friendly and attentive, will return to try the rest of the food.
It's a small place with pretty good tacos and very good service. A little pricey though.
Excellent carne asada burrito. No extra nonsense, just fresh and quality. Four excellent fresh sauces as well. Good prices for the quality and quantity. Will definitely be going back.

Food & atmosphere was great. I waited longer than usual for service. There was only one other table occupied. The server was very nice and pleasant.
The food wasn’t great, I ordered a breakfast burrito. I think it was becuase of the tortilla it was like undercooked kinda, there’s not rly any favor either and I’m 100% sure they use the fake American cheese. It was edible though just not the best burrito I’ve gotten.
Food was tasty and staff was kind, but I found a long strand of hair in my fish taco. They removed it from the bill and handled it politely, though it was still an unpleasant surprise.
The taco fillings were very good, nice crispy coating on the fish taco and the chili relleño was a fun surprise, reminding me of a chili quesadilla. However, I feel like the tortillas may have been undercooked when I visit. At one point I felt like I had raw fish in my mouth until I figured out it was the corn tortilla. I'd go back and try it again but I don't think I would get a taco. I bet they make a killer burrito.

The restaurant’s decor is charming and elegant ambiance that immediately caught my eye. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. The food was ok it gave me vibes of a regular fast Mexican taco shop quality it had a lot of taste of oregano on the salsas but overall ok a little pricey for the quality of food but I was disappointed to see it served on disposable plates with plastic utensils. While this might be practical for some, it detracted from the otherwise upscale feel of the place. Overall, if you're looking for a beautiful setting and don’t mind the disposable dining ware, this place is worth a visit.
Ordered the chilaquiles (they don’t look like other photos on the reviews) and I have to say not the best I’ve had, also my order was brought out way before my wife’s and been respectful to her I waited for her food to come out and by that time the food was cold! The cashier was nice, the seating is open seating and you pay before you get your food so don’t expect someone to come by and see if you need more water or drinks( at least that didn’t happen when I was there)

Parking is horrible.
