The San Luis Rey restaurant was a delightful spot for lunch after touring the San Luis Rey Oceanside Mission -portions were just right for us & the service was very good -highlight was the bakery for goodies for the road

First time here. Had various dishes and all were great! Pretty large portions. Table salsa had great flavor. Service was quick and very polite, friendly. The bakery part is outstanding. Breads, pastries, cookies, more. What we bought was delicious. This place is our new place...for Mexican food and bakery goods. Will return soon and often.More

San Luis Rey restaurant is a little gem; tucked away from the main street around the corner from the Mission San Luis Rey. We had stopped in to pick up some pastries for a family celabration, the aroma of the baked goods, along with the...colorful/fun vibe of the bakery just made you feel joyful. We returned the next day for dinner, the childrens menus/dinner were just right for the kids, tacos and quesadillas, of course they enjoyed the chips and salsa. Our server made hot chocolate for the children. Chile relano plate with rice and beans is a generous portion with a very tasty/tangy sauce. Chicken enchilada plate was delicious, again generous portion. The next time I am in the area, I will certainly stop in.More

First time visit to order a birthday cake. What a surprise a full bakery and everything looked delicious. A young man was very helpful. The cake was delicious. On the opposite side is a restaurant that we're looking forward to try and stop in for...coffee and pastry, too. Highly recommend -- near the San Luis Rey Mission.More

Some of the best port tamales and guacamole in the area. Wonderful stop when travelling to San Diego. The bakery is incredible. Highly recommend cheese pockets and pumpkin empanadas. Well worth the calorie splurge. Friendly, attentive staff. Super casual and fun.

Enjoyed a lovely brunch with my 2 adult children. I chose from breakfast menu, kids chose from lunch menu. Great service and generous portions. Then we went to bakery side and had a difficult time choosing from all their beautiful pastries. But narrowed it down...to 3 to take to go. We will go again Can't believe it took us so long to find out about this gem near our home in Oceanside.More

I have been coming to this place for ever and the service and food are still excellent ! I always feel at home here a great stroll down memory lane while also visiting the Mission from out of town. My Family loves it too and...the great Bakery!More

Food was delicious and the service was efficient and the staff was friendly and offered good suggestions for more things to see and do.

The food is Mexican and kinda by the book. Where this place shines, however, is in their extensive bakery with all kinds of delightful pastries. A nice tip: have lunch and then browse their pastries for a great desert.

Great little place with great service! My husband and I tried this restaurant this past weekend, and were so pleasantly surprise. The waitress was so attentive, and friendly. The breakfast was fabulous (we had the machaca, and the carne asada/eggs). We also went into the...bakery and got some items to take home - definitely worth it! I absolutely will be back.More

What a unique place. Homemade Mexican food and bakery items galore. We never would have known about it except for the sign spinner we saw one weekend. Great service great prices. Can't wait to try the chilaquiles!

I love unique places to eat/experience. I found this place (which would be hard to find) when I dropped my car off for service. I needed to wait for the service to be completed and the San Luis Rey Bakery was/is the only spot to...wait. To my surprise, this has become a happy spot and a treat for me. I always wait for my car service as I like to have breakfast here. It is a mom and pop style restaurant (and bakery). They have a really friendly and efficient staff. No frills, but authentic. It has a fun environment/atmosphere with Mexican Music playing, brights colors fill the room and you have the smell of their freshly baked goods playing with your senses. I love the Machaca, they have many breakfast options and even serve lunch and dinner. Their bakery has a full spectrum of options and they are delicious. This is a great place for family, business meetings or just for fun. It seems like it is a locals spot, if you have the chance to visit, I think it is worth it. It is priced right-fair and reasonable. The bakery items are a steal.More
