Tex-Mex breakfast tacos, queso, and margaritas
"This Los Angeles sensation fits right into Oceanside with its breezy vibe and menu of Texas-style breakfast tacos built on fresh flour tortillas like the best-selling Trinity, a mix of eggs, bacon, potato, and cheddar (corn tortillas are also available, if flour is not preferred). Other crowd-pleasers include homemade queso — make it loaded with black beans or brisket, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo — and a delightful frozen spicy Paloma." - Helen I. Hwang
"This LA-based sensation specializes in classic Texas-style breakfast tacos based on homemade flour tortillas and pastured eggs. Besides its bestselling tacos, HomeState is also getting high marks for its creamy queso dip and refreshing house cocktails like frozen spicy Palomas and tequila highballs." - Candice Woo
"HomeState, known for its Central Texas flavors, has opened in Oceanside. The restaurant features breakfast tacos made with high-quality ingredients alongside other Lone Star specialties like queso and Frito pie." - Candice Woo
"Launched in 2013 in Los Angeles by founder and CEO Briana Valdez, a homesick Texan who fell in love with breakfast tacos during college in Austin, HomeState has grown to five greater-LA locations and is opening its first San Diego–area restaurant in Oceanside on Monday, June 26. I find the fast-casual menu stays true to Texas classics: the best-selling Trinity (eggs, bacon, potato, and cheddar) and the Pecos (eggs and shredded brisket) sit alongside the Blanco (organic egg whites, shiitake mushrooms, and Monterey jack); the tacos use pasture-raised eggs and fresh flour tortillas made to a family recipe. Other Lone Star specialties include migas (eggs scrambled with crispy corn tortilla strips), Frito pie, and homemade queso, and the cocktails—like a frozen spicy Paloma and a Ranchwater tequila highball—are also sought-after. The nearly 3,000-square-foot restaurant features a bar and patio near the beach at the Freeman Collective, and its hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday–Wednesday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday–Saturday." - Candice Woo
"Expanding to Oceanside, HomeState will offer the kind of breakfast-and-taco fare Eater San Diego previewed, including flour tortillas, scrambled eggs, queso, and shredded brisket." - Farley Elliott
