OK everyone the 4.2 raring on this place is super unfair based on long ago service issues. For us it’s about chips, salsa and margaritas- all excellent! I had the margarita with grapefruit liqueur and soda. Omg delicious! We had the vegetarian spinach and cheese quesadilla and my husband had a shrimp taco and a carnitas taco - both excellent. Our server Miranda - excellent and a riot. The bathrooms clean with great Mexican tile. Highly recommend!! If you live in Vista, shockingly the desert of Mexican food, go there!! Really

A mediocre Mexican restaurant which is silly when it's this close to the Mexican border.

We were on a vacation trip and decided to try this place based on the reviews and the fact that we were craving Mexican food. My wife had the cheese enchiladas and I had the carne asada casa burrito. Both were wonderful choices and probably the best Mexican food we have had in the past 20 years or so. The service was unremarkable but not too bad. The food more than made up for the lackluster service by being so flavorful and having good portions. This is definitely going on our list for future vacation trips in the area.

I enjoyed sitting on the patio people-watching. I liked watching the trains go by too.

All the food here is excellent. Atmosphere is casual and relaxing on the patio. Service is always top notch. Would highly recommend if you are looking for some solid Mexican food in a beautiful environment.

Great Mexican place just in the middle of Carlsbad village, they have patio seating and they sell food for your dog too (grilled steak n chicken) so it's the perfect place to stop for brunch during a walk with your dog

Their drinks are really good too

Wow, the food here is really great!
The veggie burrito is awesome, whether or not you are vegetarian. Green tamales are great and so is the chips and salsa. They have a robust, homemade taste to them.
