Found myself in Hillcrest the other day at lunch. Bo's is in a strip mall with lots of parking. DELISH grilled fish tacos (some kind of tangy marinade and sauce). Not cheap, but reasonably quick and yummy. Would be toddler friendly.
Habibi's: OH BOY! Real Middle Eastern food in Escondido - real find. Not far from the Children's Museum at all. ST was overtired so it was a little stressful, but we had:
--amazing vegetarian lentil soup (had fresh ground spices: did I taste a hint of cardamon?)
--Greek salad: just eh, but ST loves feta
--hummus: super-yum, very thick and fresh. CH prefers thinner hummus but I thought it was very authentic and delightful.
--Felafel: I think I can safely call it the BEST I'VE HAD IN SD. Even better than Sultan Schwarma's. Very fresh, with delicious pickles.
--Chicken kebabs: CH thought they were good, though he wasn't as wild about the place as me. However, I tasted his rice pilaf. WOWZA! Yummy sliced almonds, raisins and vermicelli on top. Loved it!
I think they're Iraqi - they have kibbeh and bourekas and lots of other dishes whose names were unfamiliar to me on the menu.
Service not super-duper, but food was great and at a great price. Very toddler (and baby-) friendly.
Am so going back, if only I can find a time!
