Char-broiled chicken or fish tacos, chili relleno burrito, chips, salsa, tortilla soup, its ALL good. Service is excellent as well. Decent beer selection and awesome chili-pineapple margaritas.
Only the corn tortillas are vegetarian (flour has lard), pinto beans are veggie (blk are not), special tomata sauce for enchiladas is only vegetarian sauce. So good!!!
Michelle DMarch 7, 2015OUR SERVER LAUREN HAS MADE OUR LIL PARTY OF 7 FEEL LIKE FAMILY. ASK FOR HER SECTION WHEN U COME. I THINK SHE WROTE THE MENU BY HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE SHE HAS ON MENU. RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO LAUREN
plantbasedbabeJanuary 4, 2018amazing service, location, and food! for a vegan option, get the veggie burrito without cheese and ask for vegetarian beans! also do not get the rice, it’s cooked in chicken stock!!
Everything! Chilled relleno burrito is amazing along with the carnitas tostada. Ask for the taller for a dollar margarita- Kate KlampeOctober 28, 2016Must try their Los Olas salad and the Tortilla soup. Loved it!! Hubby had the Mix & Match with the Burrito, Chile Rellenos with beans and rice.
- Vegetarians, the "tomata" sauce is the only vegetarian option. The pinto beans are only veggie beans, and corn tortillas only veggie tortilla.
- Chicken Tortilla and rice soup in homemade perfection! Get the avocado on top and pair with a pineapple chile margarita. Pair anything with the pineapple chile margarita!!!
The chile relleno burrito with carnitas is incredible--and a great deal. The best house margaritas around. Ask for a booth by the windows for Carlsbad people watching.
Charlotte LApril 16, 2015The margaritas are great and it's pretty cheap, decent tacos and flautas. Good salsa!
Scott McKinneyFebruary 25, 2020It’s not on the menu but the chilaquiles is amazing! Margaritas are very drinkable as well. Service was excellent!
Sean MillerOctober 29, 2014Great mexican food! Not too far from the Cardiff location... Good alternative for when they are super busy.
Jane DoeNovember 13, 2014Great spicy salsa and strong cazadores margaritas! Went here for a big work dinner and they were completely accommodating.
The bar has full service most days. The Margarita's are amazing! They have mild salsa if you ask for it :-). Best drinks place in Carlsbad!
Try the Sopa Del Mar. It's my new favorite! Light, healthy and very filling. Delicious and unique flavor.
- Felix VerranSeptember 25, 2010Try their Margaritas and they have great salsas. I like the Mango and yogurt salsas best. Nice atmosphere and fair prices.
Ben WallaceAugust 13, 2011My son loved the carnitas burrito. (he didn't like Mex food previously). Gold margarita's r great too!
Ellen is the best server! They have te most delicious (and dangerous) margaritas
Nick HAugust 19, 2011Great margaritas....try the Reeferita. Yogurt salsa. Carne Asada burritoss. Fish tacos.
Andrew MSeptember 5, 2011Can you say ragin case of food poisoning? The chicken & beef soft tacos = fever, diarrhea, chills, and head to toe body pain.
