This place was BUSY but they were still quick! For once a place was very reasonably priced and large servings. Order at the counter, get your number, and grab a table if you can find one. They will bring the food. Ranch is extra but it's a decent amount and delicious. I got the 2x2 burger no tomatoes and grilled onions and it was delicious. Onion rings were amazing. My mom got the zucchini fries and she said they were good but said my onion rings were better.
Affordable, good burgers no "secret menu" needed. Prices as March 1st 2026.
Money Pit is my go-to stop whenever work takes me up the 78 through North County. If I’m heading out for appointments in Escondido, Oceanside, or San Marcos, I make it a point to hop off the freeway and fuel up here. The drive-thru is fast, the food selection is solid, and they make it easy to get in and out without slowing down your day. When you’re running a mobile business and your schedule is stacked, places that respect your time are everything. The staff is usually younger, fun, and outgoing, which always makes the stop a little more enjoyable. As the owner of BLING EM RIM REPAIR, a mobile rim repair and wheel repair company serving all of North County San Diego, I spend a lot of time on the road helping customers fix curb rash, scuffed wheels, and damaged rims right at their home or office. Having reliable spots like Money Pit nearby makes those long service days run smoother. If you’re looking for a quick, convenient bite near the 78 freeway in Escondido, this place is definitely worth the stop. Great food, fast service, and perfect for anyone on the move.
