5 Best Taco Restaurants in Carlsbad

“Pleasantly surprised! A very nice date night meal of Caldo de Siete Mares (a special, not on regular menu, with scallops, shrimp, octopus, mussels, calamari, fish and lobster) and steak fajitas. Delightful! Also a nice dessert of passionfruit creme brulee, also excellent.“

“I didn’t expect much but was surprised to get the tastiest food I ever ate in Mexican place. I suppose it was because the Taco Oasis shack was a first for me,beng used to restaurants, but those people know how to prepare the most tasty tacos I’ve ever eaten. They also add avocado no extra charge. Carne Asada Taco only $3.50 each. What a deal!“

“Have been trying to get to Lola 55 since last year when my daughter started at school at USD, finally this parent’s weekend my daughter skipped some of the festivities and I made it there. Not only are LOLA 55 tacos, cocktails delicious, but their presentation is magnificent. Their ambient music selection is also great. Not your typical taco stand.“

“Wanted to try this fast casual place since I saw the construction months and months ago... Absolutely loved!!!! Very casual. Has a wonderful eazy breezy vibe!!! Tried the Korean BBQ taco, excellent, also the Pho Taco, very good. Threw in a Chicken taco just to get a feel for the baseline taco. Really good. Can't wait to go back...“

“Stopping here was not planned but pleasantly surprising. We were playing billiards across the way and the crowd drew me in. Tuesday night seemed to be hopping and I wanted to know why. Not only is it a stunning establishment- I love the luxurious yet minimalist & clean Tex-mex decor. They have an awesome 80s cover band, a decent crowd and most of all, good vibes. Looking forward to returning.“
