“We shared the papagayo salad, coconut prawns and house made butternut squash ravioli and everything was flavorful and delicious! Service was attentive and atmosphere was great. We sat on outside patio. After a long drive from San Francisco it was a great stop. First time here and I would definitely recommend!“

“Fresco Cocina is delicious and fun! We hosted a farewell brunch for a wedding weekend there...the buffet was fresh and beautifully displayed --chorizo, eggs, a variety of salsa and toppings, homemade tortillas, fresh fruit and mimosas. The ambiance was sunny, open and chic. Nadia, their event coordinator, pulled this together for us on just a few week's notice. She is very professional, accommodating and creative. Michael and his wait staff made sure our guests had a plenty of food and drinks no matter what time they arrived. The event exceeded our expectations. And we can't wait to go back for dinner the next time we're in town. Thank you Fresco Cociina for the perfect ending to a great wedding weekend!“

“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!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, the food was excellent ?. The service however, was outstanding. We were all laughing and enjoying the wonderful staff. They really made us feel like family. It was my first enjoyable moment of my trip. Just a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant,but it's an overall great experience. I would come back to California just to go there.“

“In town Camping at South Carlsbad State Beach and drove to check this place out. I had read they have really good fi as h tacos at s great price ( 11/7/24 $1.30). They definitely are good & filling ! I left happy & full. My wife got a Carne Asada Burrito that she really liked. Nice friendly prompt service and a Salsa Bar too ! 👍 it’s a smallish walk up and order type restaurant in a strip mall but that doesn’t distract from the good food at all with indoor & outdoor seating. We were there on a Thursday evening and the place was busy with lots of take out orders from the locals. We’ll definitely be back when in town“

“My rating is based off their chicken soup! That soup is phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and grab some of their habanero sauce and drop it into the soup, obviously only add what you can handle. The flavors are amazing and so nice on a nice fresh evening.“

“Margaritas are always great. The one with the beer was a little strange but fun and surprisingly good- presentation was great. Love their chips and salsa. Food is consistently good. Never had a dish I didn't care for. Service is experienced and consistently very good. Ladies powder room... Gotta check it out girls! Have fun at Garcia's. I always do.“

“The tacos are really good. Meat it seasoned great, and the homemade tortillas are insane. This place used to be a dry cleaners which is probably why people don’t like the atmosphere, but I personally don’t care about atmosphere when I’m trying to just get a good taco.“

“I ordered the 2 piece meal with brocolli, pinto beans, and corn tortillas. I had a side of the avocado hot sauce and the red hot sauce. The chicken was tender and moist, not dry, flavorful, and well marinated. The broccoli was not overcooked and soggy but steamed just right with a little bit of crisp to it. My pinto beans had a great flavor with a little bit of a spicy kick, which I love.The cashier was attentive and engaging. He was polite and had a smile when saying hi and bye. The speed of service was amazing, as they cut my chicken and got my meal to me quickly. Great experience at this location!“
“Great food and server she was on top of it“

“From Missouri where there is a big presence of Mexican eateries that are authentic. I had the adobada burrito and it was outstanding. From the flour tortillia to the exquisite pork adobo inside. Flaawless. Sauces were absolutely perfect!! Gonna miss this place.“

“Wonderfully delicious vegan restaurant. We had their Mexican fare the first time (got some tacos and nachos), then tried the buffalo chicken sandwiches the next time, which were exceptional. The restaurant is very well maintained with a good atmosphere, and all of the staff are exceedingly friendly and happy. Does it speak to the quality that we went there 3 times in the week we were visiting? And obviously, bonus marks for being fully vegan!
Vegetarian options: Fully vegan, so fully vegetarian“

“Quick take out service (5 minutes) on a Tues at 7:30pm. Excellent crispy beef tacos, really good. Crunchy, rich, and savory. Spicy salsas from the self-serve bar are tasty with a lot of zing. Carne asada burrito weighed in at 22oz! Nice. Enchiladas are just fantastic - very large and stuffed with shredded beef, green bell pepper, tomato, onion, and jalapeno. Wow.“

“This place is always epic from service to food. It's the great equalizer when my family gets into the whole "what do you want for dinner" game and has 6 different answers. I can say Rubios? And get a unanimous YES!! And that reason alone folks is why you should eat here.“

“A solid choice for pretty authentic fast Mexican food. Not quite there inconsistency and tacos, which are fixed one way one week will be slightly different the next week. Good food nonetheless. Service and ambience are typical fast food. Love the free chips and salsa.“
