Fun tequila bar a couple blocks from the beach. Stopped in for a tequila or two on the the way to dinner. Sat at the outdoor bar and got some terrific service from a gal who knows her stuff.

We had the nachos which we’re very good. Lots of toppings and fresh. Chicken was a little dry though. The chips are fresh and salsa is delicious. We also had the chicken soup which was light with a clear broth. I recommend all of the above. Nice indoor outdoor window bar too. A quieter atmosphere than on the main drag which I preferred.

Excellent service! They have chips and salsa and they kept filling it up which was nice because myself along with my husband and brother were so hungry. The food was great and filling and the service was awesome. We loved it and will come back

Food is excellent… Many workers think they are in High School, ignoring some clients, schmoozing & chatting w others.

We went there on Mother’s Day and found it almost deserted. Even with lack of crowd, the food came to us lukewarm. The chicken mole was OK, but could use a lot more flavor. The black beans tasted straight out of a can. Bland rice. Tamale was mostly masa, little filling. Can’t recommend this place.

I need to come back and try the drinks and tequila. I’ve been here twice so far fory lunch break. I tried the shredded beef enchiladas and then the second time the carne asada burrito. Both were better than expected, and super quick service!

The poblano soup has the perfect hint of spicy and comfort…and the best homemade chips I’ve ever tried! We went back the next week it was sooo good! Don’t miss this is Carlsbad. Favorite!

Came here for some cocktails, and was pleasantly surprised. They have a nice grouping of mezcal cocktails, which is my favorite liquor, they are yummy. I had the Lolita, santeria, kaleesi and a nectarine margarita, all super yummy. (The one with the tamarindo candy is the Santeria and my favorite) I also had 3 tacos, 1 vegetarian which had tempura battered avocado with a jicama slaw, cannot recommend enough and 2 carnitas tacos, also delicious. The staff are great and take care of you, outdoor seating has heating lamps and they clean each table as soon as a patron leaves. Definitely recommend, support local
