Went here with the family for Easter. The buffet was good, margaritas were better. I love the patio and it was dog friendly too.
Love this place! Great tasting food, excellent service and mariachis to boot! Wish we had someplace like this in the Bay Area. This is definitely a gem in the So-Cal area. Yummily Lucky!
This used to be our go-to place for Mexican food when it was back in Old Town, but over the years after the move to Carlsbad the overall quality has gone down significantly. The atmosphere is lovely, with the mariachi band and the outdoor seating by the fountain, that is if you get to sit by the fountain. The indoor seating is dark and cramped. The wait staff seemed too busy to come by, and the food was really not that special compared to other taco shops in the neighborhood. It might be a fun place to go when you have friends visiting from out of town, but if you are local, there are better Mexican foods elsewhere.
This place should've stayed in Old Town. Carlsbad got lucky with this restaurant. The food is very tasty and service is fast but some of the servers are not very patient and that reduces the quality of the dining experience. The design has an authentic vibe and the live music is a nice touch. We had the chimichanga. It was to die for.
The wait for us was well over an hour as this restaurant doesn’t take reservations. However, the food was worth the wait! They also have Mariachis Thursday-Sunday which makes for a great atmosphere! The menu also has a lot of vegetarian friendly options! It is a must visit for our family when we are in Carlsbad.
