Great tasting food if your looking for something not as mainstream. The red snapper is awesome and they take the spine out before they cook it. Not as messy or intimidating as it sounds. Super delicious sauce on it. The surf and turf burrito was also good as well with decent portions. Must try the calamari with the chimichurri sauce!

A nice dog friendly patio with a beautiful view of downtown Carlsbad. The staff was super friendly, and you can tell they are big fans of the food they serve. The Brazilian Coconut Soup was hot and spicy; gotta splurge and add the shrimp. The Braised Short Rib Tacos were delicious; so juicy and tender. Not pictured are the Peruvian Ceviche and side of Yuca Fries. It was like I was back in Peru. Very authentic.

We originally saw photos on Yelp and the photos of the food looked so delicious and we went and the food not only looked beautiful but tasted amazing! The waiter was so much fun and the atmosphere was very upscale and open. We loved it and will be going back again!

Dined here last week for Cinco de Mayo. The tacos were incredible! However, be mindful, some items are super expensive for what you get. For example, the Venezuelan Tequenos was underwhelming. It’s only 5 little sticks and its served in a large bowl. Feels like it’s lacking. But, the tacos are worth the price. Flavorful and the sauce they use is bomb. Definitely coming back for another round of those!

Jared was our server, he was awesome! I was hungry so no picture of the calamari but it has a nice light breading and comes with two unique dipping sauces, a garlic oil based sauce with some greens in it and a yellow pepper sauce with a nice kick. Then the red snapper is in a phenomenal red sauce. The lobster tacos aren’t anything special and not really worth it IMO.
