I hadn't been to this restaurant in over a year, and I'm so glad I decided to stop by. It definitely did not disappoint! Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I'll definitely be coming back much sooner next time!

I went to City Tacos with a group of about 10 people after jet skiing, and it really hit the spot…read more I loved how unique the taco flavors were. They had so many options that were different from what I've tried before, which made it fun to order. I actually ended up getting all vegetarian tacos even though I'm not vegetarian. I tried the fried zucchini, chile relleno, and portobello tacos, and every single one was packed with flavor. They also have a huge selection of sauces and aiolis, from chipotle to avocado, and they made the tacos even better. Overall, I'd give City Tacos a 4/5. The only downside was that the tortillas fell apart with all the fillings and sauces, making them a little messy to eat. Other than that, the food was delicious, the flavors were creative, and I'd definitely come back.

I rarely write reviews, but this meal was bad enough that I felt I had to share my experience…read more The Surf & Turf Burrito was confusing from the start. It contained crinkle-cut, Ore-Ida-style fries, a few decent shrimp, and dry carne asada. The pico de gallo had an overpowering flavor and a soggy texture. The burrito itself was large, and the toasted tortilla was one of the few positives. The fish tacos were equally disappointing. The tortillas were cold and rubbery, while the fish was this overly large, rectangular, store-bought frozen fillet rather than something freshly prepared. The rolled taco combo was arguably the worst item. They were extremely dry and topped with what tasted like processed, store-bought melted cheese. The avocado mash (not guac) was actually pretty good, which was one of the only highlights of the meal. The beans tasted like store bought, canned beans and the rice was okay. Most importantly for any taco shop, the red salsa was simply awful. The green salsa was decent, but the red salsa was honestly the worst I've ever tasted. The flavor reminded me of Ragu marinara sauce mixed with a dash of hot sauce...I kid you not! I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and makes some changes. There is potential here, but the food quality and ingredient choices need significant improvement.

Pavlos Tacos quite literally serves THE BEST FISH TACOS I have EVER had in my ENTIRE life... and…read morehaving been a pescetarian for 14 years, I have had a LOT of fish tacos -- believe me. You HAVE to stop by and try their fish tacos for $3/taco on Tuesdays! Somehow they are SO fresh, even though they are battered. A battered fish taco that somehow is insanely delicious AND also tastes kinda healthy?? And they were sizable too -- I only needed 2 fish tacos to get full. I didn't know that existed, but now that I do, this will certainly be one of my go-to spots! My boyfriend also said their surf & turf burrito was the best he's ever had... and if all that isn't enough, to top it all off, the customer service + atmosphere is 5 stars as well! Pavlos himself is the SWEETEST man -- so down-to-earth, genuine, and super duper cool... and when we walked in, my first thought (spoken aloud) was, "Wow, this place is so CLEAN!" I can now absolutely see why this is a neighborhood favorite. Go to Pavlos Tacos today. You won't regret it! Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Cost: 9.5/10

My wife asked me to pick up some food from this spot on my way home one night. As I drove up and…read moresaw it was connected to a gas station, I called her and asked her if she knew. She responded that the reviews were really good, so it was worth giving it a try. Man, she was right on the money. The food was outstanding! The place is built for speed and lacks warmth. No drive-through, makes it less convenient, but it's still worth it. I just moved to Carlsbad a couple of years back, and I've been trying to find the best Mexican food place around. I can confidently say that I have now found it and I will be frequenting it on the regs. I had the Agave Birrieria. It was amazing. Probably not something that I can eat regularly, though. If you are looking for takeout Mexican food, this is the place to go.

We tried different marinades and various fish, but my hands-down favorites were the lobster tacos (lemon butter) and the red snapper (fish shop) tacos. We also ordered large sides. They do NOT skimp out on these. Massive onions rings and a large pile of fries. All were delicious! The kids liked their grilled cheese sandwiches. "Best grilled cheese besides the ones we make at home." Only downside on the food was the clam chowder. Good flavor but hardly any clams (if any). I wouldn't get that again, but everything else was phenomenal. I almost rated this down to a 4 because of this (and a small order mishap), but honestly, this place is worth a solid 5 based on the overall food, vibes, and staff. This place's vibes are super chill. You can either sit inside or out. Very clean all around! Well-maintained restrooms and tables too. Solid drink options - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well! Would definitely go back!

Update 2: the owner of this restaurant is a jerk. period. Avoid at all cost…read more ==== Update 1: With the recent reply by the owner I have to update the rating to 1 star. If you are understaffed, hire more people. If they are underpaid, pay them more. They're trying to give customers moral pressure to not tip high enough, as if it is customers' fault that the employees are not paid what they deserve. ==== The food was innovative - it was not of super good taste nor terrible, but I admire their effort to be creative. The service was honestly not bad, but what made me uncomfortable was that their suggested tips were 20% minimal. With the pressure of being presented the POS machine by the server, most people would not manually enter a lower tip.
