mmm-yoso!!! is being written by Cathy today; Kirk and His Missus are vacationing.
The last time I wrote about Home Sweet Home Cafe was 2019-BC (before Covid-19). Time for an update, because this oddly located Breakfast-Lunch mainstay has survived (for more than 20 years). In the midst of a very industrial area of West Escondido, this nondescript restaurant storefront is open only for breakfast and lunch. Parking is in front and along the side of the building.
Many customers are 'regulars'.
The menu is served all day.
My usual order is a ham and egg sandwich ($12) on rye, made with a good amount of juicy, non-salty ham steak. The plate comes with a choice of potato. The home fries are excellent, can be made with or without bell peppers and/or onion. Optional home made gravy on the potatoes ($2.50) is worth it- it is bacon gravy (not sausage); a wonderful version.
The Eggs Benedict ($12.50) are made with perfectly poached eggs and plenty of ham on top of a toasted English muffin, covered in a home made, lightly lemony hollandaise- (we asked for added spinach on this day). Instead of potato on the side, a request for corned beef hash was accommodated ($2.50). A good quality canned hash and fried to a nice crisp.
On another visit, The Mister ordered the corned beef hash and eggs ($12) substituting homemade corned beef ($1)- it's just corned beef! A wonderful, lighter carb breakfast. (The hash browns were nicely crisped, the over easy eggs were perfect and even the sourdough toast is a better/nice sour quality).
One day, I'll do a lunch post. Soo was here in 2021 and had a burger, among other items.
Home Sweet Home Cafe 662Enterprise Street Escondido, CA 9202 (760) 743-2233 Open Mon-Fri 5-2, Sat 5-1 Sun 7-1
The Christmas tree is decorated seasonally and there are small gifts (one per child) underneath always. A fond, old fashioned memory.
They make a good burger too!

OK, definitely have to go back for lunch now, Soo. I'm always ready for a good burger.

Thanks for the link! Maggie prefers breakfast but I can go either way.

Breakfast out seems 'easier' lately, Soo. We are still trying to avoid crowds but have a nice meal.
