Food was good. Not sure if they were short staffed. Service was really slow. Food didn't come out hot.

Our server, Daniel, is awesome. Kind, attentive, patient. We ordered the birria tacos and the black bean with andouille sausage goodness. Yum!

This place is wonderful! Will be back!! The food was great and the service was wonderful! My husband and I noticed that we didn't feel gross after eating out. We take our health seriously and eat super clean and mostly at home. When we go out we usually don't feel our best due to all the seed oils. This place felt like eating at home, the best quality we could get!

We don't eat out much, but when we do, it's mostly at Fresco Cucina, and it's always OUTDOORS. Our breezy supper with old friends in town last week was perfect. Food is always good, Raquel, our server was lovely, and we enjoyed our time downstairs in that breezy, fresh bar, too!

Party of 3. Two Dishes came out and then went back to Kitchen, 5 min later server came back to say two dishes were being kept warm while salmon dish was prepared, said “5 min” We asked for the two to come back Out so they could be enjoyed hot. When salmon came; guests were finished eating. No one from the restaurant said a word or apologized. Poor form

When we arrived the restaurant was empty. It filled in somewhat, but there were several empty tables. We felt rushed, like they needed the table. Food was ok, but expensive and not worth the effort. There's better food and service everywhere in Carlsbad.

First time here. Service was excellent but the food was mediocre. I ordered the vegan bowl and it was 90% bell peppers, soaking in oil and had absolutely no flavor. The manager was quick to offer me something else so I picked the portobello mushroom tacos. Although they were infinitely better than the bowl, they were still very oily. My husband had the enchilada trio with mole. He enjoyed his dish but the enchiladas were definitely drenched in the mole. They could benefit from adding some freshness to the dishes, ie. cilantro and pico de Gallo. The chips and homemade salsa were the highlight of the meal. When the bill came, the manager had removed both the bowl and the tacos so they get high marks for customer service.

I have had really great meals however they changed their menu completely. I ordered the chili and Seabass most expensive on the menu. Seabass should be moist. It was overcooked and had no flavor. The whole meal was dry. Also, this server should be aware of people go out to a nice meal to enjoy each other‘s company not his.. to talkative and intrusive standing a rear table with his loud voice... Otherwise, I'm sure he's a nice person

Great food. Lovely vibe. Cool food. Good service. Awesome location. It has its own parking too. Which is a bonus as it's close to the beach.
