The food is too expensive, and just because we have a large group we should not have to pay 20% extra, that is what a tip is for. We all had separate bills.

We picked up some pretty tasty food from here and watching the lady make blue corn tortillas was a highlight for my son. Many of the chips were stuck together, making them unpleasant to handle and difficult to eat, unfortunately. The chicken for our fajitas were quite dry, but the rest of our food was tasty. Their carnitas are a bit too sweet for our liking, but mild so good for young children (or adults) who don't enjoy spice food. The burritos we got here were all wet so they're not ones you pick up with your hands to eat. The service is accommodating and courteous here and I'd love to try more dishes if we're in town again.

We went to dinner with a few friends and was seated right away the server took our order after a few the food was amazing but we never saw the server again. We sat there for about an hour an a half never got refills We asked 2 different people about desert that took another 20 minutes and then we waited another 30 minutes for the bill not sure I'll ever go back because of the service

Had brunch today about 11:45an to celebrate a birthday. Got right in and seated, and everyone was so great and accommodating! Our waitress was Catherine, and she was Great! She was very patient with our questions and gave good suggestions to help decide. Queso and salsa with chips is always great and hard to find in SD, and the rest of our food order was quick and tasted great! Will definitely be back soon!

Great Mexican restaurant in Carlsbad. The restaurant is very welcoming, the service was friendly and personalized, and the food is absolutely delicious. We had Catherine as our server and she took care of us from the moment we sat down, guided us honestly through the menu, and made our experience totally enjoyable. This is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner between San Diego and Los Angeles.

The chicken chimichanga is very good and the salsa for your chips is great. Not to spicy and flavorful. My bartender was awesome. She greeted me in less than 1 minute and was very quick with her service. Very nice place and atmosphere.

Food is excellent. Service is also excellent (refilling drinks, asking if we need anything). They have a hot salsa if you ask for it. They are able to accommodate special diets or picky eaters. Kids love the fried ice cream dessert.

Great food, but the service was slightly lacking. Ordered a glass of wine with my meal that was never delivered. The server came by after my meal was done and apologized. Not a huge deal. I found the music far too loud and a bit annoying. My husband sat next to me at our table, and still conversation was difficult.
