Food was very good! First time having Filipino food and I will gladly be eating it again ? service was very kind and friendly can't wait to visit again
Amazing spot! Awesome staff and service! My girlfriend and I both agree that this is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The lechon sisig, lumpia, garlic fried rice, and pork skewers were all delicious. We also had a scoop of ube sorbetes for desert. Super tasty way to cap off an exceptional spread! Can’t wait to come back!
We went to try this place, surprise cat.Excellent service and all the food spectacular; If you want to try something different, don't hesitate to visit this place.From their appetizers to their desserts.

Amazing food and service. Very cute little restaurant and a much more chill vibe than most of downtown Encinitas. Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options!

My family and I love this place. It’s our favorite Filipino restaurant outside of the Philippines. We especially love the lumpia, sinigang, spicy chicken adobo, caldereta, beef salpicao, and halo halo. We each order our own halo halo, because it’s honestly so good that no one wants to share. Could not say enough wonderful things about this restaurant, the staff, and food!!!

The garlic rice. I would like to eat this every single day. Everything else was delicious but I could happily eat a pot of this rice.
Food was amazing! Tasted fresh, yummy and it's authentic Filipino food! Also, the owner and workers are nice!

This has been our go-to for many years. Their chicken tinola soup with ginger is.. I'm convinced.. a healing soup for all those aches and pains. The soup is their signature. Chicken BBQ is the other. Take out or dine-in, it's fantastic. Archie the owner is the best.

We started with Chicharon with vinegar sauce as an appetizer, it arrived at the table crackling hot! We both ordered the lunch special, one spicy chicken adobo and one braised beef stew, each came with garlic rice, pancit and lumpia. Everything tasted like pure cozy comfort and love. Mary was our amazing host, super attentive and kind. Over all CARiN de RiA was affordable, delicious and had incredibly welcoming energy. We will definitely be coming back soon and with loved ones in tow!Parking: Lots of street parking and free park it lot in back of establishment.
