The salsa is so unbelievably bad, it tasted like marinara sauce. The chicken was blander than a saltine a cracker. The food was seasoned by a white woman who thinks pepper is spicey. The Paloma could kill a small child. I think they had an over influx of black olives, the food was covered in it. The guacamole… was actually okay. And it was also very expensive

Service and atmosphere are good. Salsa tasted like prego tomato sauce and margarita tasted like a yellow Powerade mixed with the cheapest fake/chemical mix. ?

Really bad food, go anywhere else but here. The food was tasteless, the waitress had a bad attitude, the dishes were old/chipped, really bad food, go anywhere else but here. The food was tasteless, and the waitress had a bad attitude. The margaritas are a mix of cheap diluted tequila and kool-aid. This place is just a tourist trap.The place is old and falling apart. This spot gives Carlsbad a bad reputation.I never write bad reviews, but I'm tired of places just scamming people, just a waste of money and time.Please visit the places I recommend in the pictures you won't regret it.Very bad food, go anywhere else but here.

Visiting the beach and was craving shrimp tacos. Boom, seen the first Mexican restaurant. I knew as soon as I seen the salsa it wasn’t going to be good. The salsa is like barely seasoned ketchup. Order shrimp tacos and they were the worst I’ve ever seen. So many people raved about the Mexican food in this area an I managed to pick the worst one. Should have read the reviews. $70!! “Sooo freaking pissed”

We had 6 people eating here. The food was terrible. None of us liked any of the food and we didn’t eat it. We literally left our food only eating a couple bites. I have never done that before. Do not come here. The one plus was our server was great. He didn’t charge us for all our meals except one. We did leave him a 30% tip because he was great.

The atmosphere was nice and we were able to see the sunset from our table. Food was very mediocre and the chips are salsa were bland but thankfully the margarits's were good. I have no plans to return, this place was not for me.

Service is always great and the margaritas to go are ok. This place is Mexican light. The chips and salsa is basically tomato sauce and a little seasoning. If you are looking for spicy food do not go here. The Garcia's Mexican restaurant on State Street is 1000% better in all regards. Just trust me.
