6 Best Taco Restaurants in Carlsbad

“Trendy but relaxed and really good margarita!“

“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!“

“We started with their Cadillac margarita straight up with an extra shot of tequila on the side. The margarita and tequila was very smooth. I usually get Patron Silver but this time we tried Cierto Blanco. We nibbled on the chips and salsa as we enjoyed our drinks. Then we ordered the chicken Fajitas de la Casa with all rice and no beans. The guacamole was bright green. They cover the chicken fajitas with a crema. I assumed the crema was on the side. Their corn tortillas are amazing. I could eat them separately by themselves. There’s no shredded cheese, just the crema which was different. I definitely prefer shredded cheese. Then there’s the grilled bell peppers, onions and a couple tomatoes. Excellent flavors. Great service from our server. The restaurant has a fun upbeat vibe with positive energies.
For me, the margarita was a 5, service a 5, corn tortillas, guacamole, grilled vegetables and rice were a 5. The crema on the grilled chicken was a 3.75. This is why the food score was 4 stars and not 5. Almost 5 stars across the board.
Suggestion: have the server inform the customer the crema usually is on top of the chicken and would they prefer it on the side.“

“This is my favorite place. I work nearby and have turned all my coworkers onto thier al pastor tacos. Food is always delicious, thier al pastor tacos are the things dreams are made of! And the staff is always friendly, even when the place is packed with a line out the door. Juan especially is always friendly and courteous. Tacos Chato is an A+ all around!!“

“What else can I say?? I’ve been twice on Saturdays and it’s an amazing atmosphere all day long! Strong drinks, friendly staff, great music from the bands and DJs, and it’s PACKED outside and inside!“
