"This place is cash only, so don't be caught off guard! I believe there is an ATM inside the restaurant. The food is classic San Diego Mexican food, with huge portions, and the drive thru that seems almost mandatory. Personally I just go through the drive thru because The place seems small. The food is cheap, the employees are all really cool, and filled up my reusable water bottle for me, and were very friendly even when I changed my order at the window. (Sorry about that! Absolutely worth it, if you're starving this place hits the spot."

"A revelation of sorts!. Irinas Bar Grill was our answer now that we have moved further south, when I did a search for German type food. The place came up in Yelp, and I was impressed with the loyal and glowing reviews. Since once in a while we go to Oceanside to catch a movie or two, or to the base, I kept this place until we made it out there. The movie was overcrowded around 3:30 PM, probably because it was the day after New Year 2014. So we set course for Irinas. We very much like German food if it is well done, which by the way applies to any other cuisine, the better made the happier we get. <br/>Upon arriving we met Jonas. A very personable bartender he wasted no time in greeting us to find out what we wanted. I had read in Yelp that they do not mention their German food in their regular menu, that you have to look above the bar, and make your selection from about 6 photos showing the available items. We found a table by the large TV, and soon enough Jonas was there ready to take our order. Following items were ordered: <br/>Stuffed Cabbage: very tasty, well done all around, came with a salad and mashed potatoes. This is one dish that we usually do not get in public places, since we make a delicious one ourselves, but it looked good on the picture so Alma order it. Alma is a very demanding eater, likes quality and abhors lesser creations. She polished the dish, and was very pleased with the fare. I tried a little bit and it was very good. 4.5 Stars!<br/>Schnitzel: this one is breaded pork served with an outstanding mushroom sauce, that frankly made the dish for Chris and I. Served with perfectly fried fries, nice serving that was devoured with no problems. 4.5 Stars!<br/>Sausage Sandwich: I saw it in the picture and it looked appetizing. Two of them, served with saurkraut, which I kindly requested be served on the side not knowing what to expect. The sausages, or whatever is called in the German parley were delicious. So good, in fact, that I asked Jonas to sell me a dozen to take home. Nein! Others before us had requested the same thing and no dice, was inquisitive enough were I did find out they buy in San Diego. Great flavor, perfectly cooked, and even though the amount of food had been considerable to that point, they were finished with no problems. 4.5 Stars!<br/>The salad I mentioned above was fresh, and also was terminated, just your conventional salad but nicely picked.<br/>Two Beers: selected by Jonas. After all the place is a bar, and their selection of beers is impressive. We drank the brewskis but refrain from keeping on, for one moment you are drinking with a meal, and once you cross the line you are in party mode, which we wanted to avoid, knowing how much booze was consumed celebrating the arrival of 2014. <br/>Dessert was okey, something to do with cheese cake texture and raspberries, served almost frozen. The 3 of us shared and by the end we were very content. Like many good reviewers had mentioned, it is unusual to find this good of German selection outside of Anaheim by Disneyland. <br/>Service was superb at the hands of the quite capable and affable, Jonas. His constant attention, witty remarks on some subjects we breached, all made for a delightful afternoon. Now we know we are going to return, for the food was so well made no late indigestion was detected. The total bill for this very tasty meal was $57.23. Very fairly priced, an unusual location for a German eatery, but it is obvious they care very much in Irinas Bar Grill. Well worth stopping by if you happen to be in the area. Wir sind zurück! Or something like that. 4.5 Stars!"
