“LAOTHAI in Carpinteria, California, is a must-visit for authentic Thai cuisine. The yellow curry is a standout, rich and creamy with perfectly balanced spices that offer warmth without overpowering. Each bite of tender chicken in the delightful sauce is comforting.

Equally impressive is the pineapple fried rice, a colorful dish featuring sweet pineapple, crispy vegetables, and fluffy rice, served in a hollowed-out pineapple for an eye-catching presentation.

The service is attentive and friendly, making for a pleasant dining experience. If you’re in Carpinteria, don’t miss LaoThai for some of the best yellow curry and pineapple fried rice around!

“I absolutely love this little market/restaurant. I discovered it years ago through my old boss, who recommended it for having the best chilaquiles around. Over time, I've become hooked on their chilaquiles burrito, and it never disappoints! That said, I haven't tried much else on their menu, so I can't speak to the other options.

When you order their chilaquiles, they offer a choice between regular or spicy. Just a heads up—the regular is already pretty spicy! I tried the spicy version once, and wow, it was extremely hot. I managed to finish it, but just barely. The flavor was fantastic, but if you can't handle intense heat, I would advise against it!“

“always making creative brews“

“I won’t give Esau’s a bad review because I’ve had many great breakfasts there, and have never given a review before. My wife and I ate there last night and I had the chicken pot pie. I love pot pie, but this was not what I expected. It was a very small helping and there wasn’t any crust like a traditional pot pie. It was just the filing, like a thick soup, with a small amount of chicken and a square piece of a soft biscuit placed on top, with no sides. The price wasn’t posted and I assumed since it was the special of the night it would be an ample amount of food for a reasonable price. But for $22, for a small amount of food, is not what I am accustomed to from this restaurant. My wife had the claim chowder for $9.50 which was almost as much food as I had. I was still hungry when I got home!“

“good pizza, cooked freshly in front of you. lovely young man served us 10/10“

“Very good food had a very good experience“

“After going to this incredible Italian restaurant, I will never go anywhere else for Italian food. It’s magical! We always try to get a table on the Patio, it makes you feel like you’re in an enchanted chateau. We’ve tried many of the entrees, and although some are more enticing to us than others, none have disappointed! All the food is amazing. To top it all off, the staff is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and welcoming. If you’re looking for great food with a great staff, go to Gianfranco’s Trattoria!!!“

“friendly staff and great customer service. had the Jessy's salad. It so flippin good, as was the lobster mac n cheese and artichoke dip. we will eat the tacos for dinner...we couldnt eat any more!“

“We have been enjoying breakfast burritos from Reynaldo’s for about ten years now. We’ve always admired their wedding cake display, and said when we got married we’d get our cake from them. Well we got married on the beach June 4th, and the cake far exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and delicious! We also got gluten free and vegan cupcakes which were fantastic as well!“

“breakfast burrito chorizo.. crunchy tacos . Bombs awaaaay.👍🏼“

“had the veggie burrito but added chicken of course! my new favorite burrito in carp!“

“Camping at the state beach and PizzaMan will deliver directly to your beach campsite. I ordered 2 Larges, 1 PizzaMan Special, 1 large pepperoni, and one individual no dough w/3 toppings (keto). They delivered to my campsite in about thirty minutes. Pizza was hot and really good. The no dough was about as good as can be expected. It was all cheese for the crust and then put together like a regular pizza. It was a little messy but camping at the beach so can’t really complain. The total for all three items was $53. Very worth it. I got the large pep as a special so it was only $13. Make sure to ask what their specials are when you order. They have thin crust and pan crust. The pan was thick but not overwhelmingly so. Very good will definitely be the spot I order from when we camp. Way cheaper than where I usually order.“

“pebees most defitnately have delightful sandwiches n most of all good services“

“Honeslty the best service my family and I have ever received. Despite being really busy the manager was friendly and fun making conversation and joking with tables and entertaining kids. The food was all great (it's an IHOP) and better than expected. Go niners.“

“Tacos (we had asada) were good street tacos packed with meat! Quality onions to go with the cilantro and limes. Salsas (all 3) were really good too! Fresh chips not store bought were tasty. We waited about 7 to 10 minutes for our order but it was hot and good. Worth it especially after not being able to get good authentic Mexican food for a couple of months. They didnt have a lot of choices on the menu but what they had they do well. We will be back for sure. Everything was fresh. Be careful not to wait in one line like we did. The ice cream shop on the left side had a long line. Be sure to go in the door and to the right to order food. enjoy!“

“Everything is delicious!!“

“Great spot for a quick burger near the beach.“
