“ $10.00 Breakfast Burrito! Well 10.89 with tax but it was delicious. I had the bacon and it didn’t disappoint. Only regret is not asking for two salsas. Excellent service, excellent food. This is my second visit and both times were great. Not pictured is the side of sourdough bread (the give you wheat, white and rye options as well) and the side of ranch dressing with the mushrooms. They take card as well. ”
“ Pleasantly surprised! It's probably one of the best homestyle burgers. Very good portion. I had the Ortega Swiss burger with Sweet potato fries combo. The fries were crunchy and tasteful. The burger felt like the patty was handmade. Definitely going back to try the rest. ”
“ I've been coming to Paul's for probably 10 years. My absolute FAVORITE burger in Oceanside. It's a cute diner with a crew of workers that always are smiling! I always get a 1/4 hamburger combo, extra thousand islands. The burger has great flavor, a nice full bun, and always a nice cut of tomato. The fries are also my favorite! Thick cut and great with just some salt! ”
