Fresco Cocina
Mexican restaurant
🫤 Great ambiance and atmosphere!
This was a bit of overhype and overdoing Mexican and other Latin American cuisines. Their spin is putting kale in the burrito rice, pineapple in the Pico de Gallo, and a puréed tomatillo sauce that comes with the $16 Empanada — yes, just 1 empanada for $16.
Beautiful...

Mexico Viejo
Mexican restaurant
😠 This place used to be good back in the day not sure what happened. Meat is always cold and dry. And they over load it on everything else but the meat. And if you order sour cream make sure you order it on the side because you won't see it or taste it if you don't. And save your drink till the end b...

Lourdes Mexican Food Carlsbad
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Finally a Lourdes in my area! They have the best chicken soup with lots of fresh chicken, avocado and cilantro. It’s a bit spicy which makes it even better. The place has only been open for about 5 weeks, it’s very clean including the restroom and has great customer service. I’m so glad they come to...

Tortilla Mia Mexican Restaurant
Mexican restaurant
😐 This place has a nice tropical feel and I was recommended for their tacos. I went in and was greeted by friendly staff who directed me to bar for order to go! I got to bar and then it went downhill, I told the lady I had not been there and wanted the fish tacos and could I see a menu she pointed to...

Barrio Eat Mexican
Mexican restaurant
🫤 Food is excellent... Many workers think they are in High School, ignoring some clients, schmoozing & chatting w others.
Random enforcement of shoes/shirt rules, time you can stay, etc. Not efficient nor timely at asking how your food is, wd you like other dishes, etc.

El Tejate Restaurant
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 The good:
The food is delicious, and the margaritas well made. You definitely need to try the enchiladas or the chile relleno (with delicious corn tortillas on the side). This is not the typical Mexican fare you get locally since the food is more Oaxacan style rather than the usual Baja Californian...

Lola 55
Mexican restaurant
🫤 Lola 55 in Carlsbad brings an aura of promise with its enticing cocktail menu, but sadly falls short on the food front - especially given the price point. The cocktails are handcrafted and do not disappoint in flavor. However, the food leaves much to be desired.
The children's quesadillas, strangel...

El Puerto Street Tacos
Mexican restaurant
😐 We've been loyal customers for over 8 years, loving their street tacos. So, we decided to use their catering for our baby shower. They confirmed but never showed up. No solutions offered, just a suggestion to pick up tacos during our event. Embarrassing and disappointing. We won't use their services...
