    I had the honor of accompanying a bunch of gals in Gals That Brunch @galsthatbrunch @galsthatbrunchsd I have had my eye on Carlotta's since they were breaking ground and jumped with joy when I had the opportunity to have brunch there with the gals. The ambiance is lovely and colorful. The menu features both savory and sweet with also a healthy twist. The two best friends, Mayra and Karina, have been best friends since kindergarten! They shared their dreams of food and flavors. "Carlotta" is a name of a Mexican dessert that is indescribable. The menu includes dishes like chilaquiles and tres leches French toast! They offer a good amount of seating for a friend or two or even a group. Everything was delicious and the presentation was brilliant! I was truly impressed with the quality, minimal wait, and quantity of the dishes. We tasted the various muffins, bread, and jam. Carlotta caters and offers food to go. I can't wait for next time and the next dish to touch my lips. Thank you!!

    Their a signature desert.

    This place is amazing. The food is incredible and so fresh. Everything is made fresh. We have been here a few times and every time the food was just incredible.

    Chicken waffles

    Worth the drive from Chula Vista. We ordered the chicken waffles and mole chilaquiles. The chilaquiles were perfect, very authentic. The cafe de olla was amazing. Enjoyed the atmosphere, decorations are beautiful and seating was comfortable. Our service was good, one of the owners came out to ask if we needed anything. Super nice! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cute and delicious brunch spot. Can't wait to try the Carlotta next time we visit.

    Today was our first time having breakfast here, and we really enjoyed it. We ordered the Tres Leches French Toast, which was delicious, and the Poblano Omelette, which we also really liked. We also tried one of their homemade corn muffins, and it was easily a 10/10. We'll definitely be coming back

    I got a to go order yesterday. The woman at the counter was great and explained the menu and helped me choose my meal. I went with the Chilaquiles and they were really good. You get a sauce choice but she told me I could pick 2 so I had salsa verde and poblanos. I am anxious to go back and tried their Toast options, sandwiches and more. Very clean place to dine in or take out. Glad to have this new spot.

    Oh my gosh, happened here on the opening day and it was amazing. Great eclectic menu without being a hodgepodge. The space is beautiful and welcoming. Ordered the chilaquiles on the owner's recommendation and holy hell they were great. Did half mole, half verde. They came on a bed of delicious black beans, and were topped with pickled onions, sour cream, and a little extra tasty bits. Next time I'll add in some eggs. My son got the apple waffle and it was a hit. Fresh squeeze orange juice rounded out our first meal. We will definitely be back.

    Healthy Bowl  Absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh! The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked--juicy, flavorful, and not dry at all.

    The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Even though the food took a little longer than expected, they were very considerate, attentive, and made sure we felt taken care of. Their friendly service made the experience even better. Definitely a place I would visit again!

    Carlotta is a hidden gem! From the moment we sat down, the vibe felt effortlessly chic but still relaxed - the kind of place where you immediately know you're about to have a great meal. Every dish that hit the table was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. I highly recommend the chilaquiles and cafe de olla. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and there was clear attention to detail. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. Already planning my next visit!

    Avocado Toast

    I recently dined at Carlotta for Father's Day and I was very impressed. The menu has a good array of California/Mexican breakfast options. We got the Avocado Toast, French Toast, and Protein Omelette. I thought the portions were great and my kids loved the French toast. The staff were very nice and accommodating as well. We sat outside and it was nice to be able to hang there with our dog. I'm excited to go back and try it again!

    it's saturday night. we don't have a reservation. they tell us the wait is over an hour. what do we…read moredo? we wait. and thank jebus we did, because this ended up being one of the best meals i've had in a while. we started with the prawn. we each got one, and given that they're $10 a skewer, our bill started off STRONG. the prawns were perfectly roasted with hints of mezcal and prickly pear. the candied habanero or whatever garnish of death was on there totally kicked my ass in terms of spice. in true Asian fashion, we ripped the heads off and sucked all the goodness out of them too. no shame. you don't waste the good stuff. then the cornbread showed up. the group collectively agreed we'd pass on this one next time. for me, the goat cheese threw me off, but that's entirely on me because i hate goat cheese and still knowingly ordered something with goat cheese. i played myself. there was absolutely nothing wrong with the dish, but compared to everything else we ate, there wasn't anything particularly standout about it either. but then. the fucking broccoli showed up. it is literally charred broccoli with chermoula, lime, and peanut. that's it. BROCCOLI. and after taking one bite, i learned that broccoli could, in fact, be life changing. suddenly i was a new woman. a woman who wanted nothing more than to sit there and stuff her face with massive amounts of broccoli. unfortunately, i couldn't because we still had dishes to taste. and so i moved on to the pork belly. when people describe something as "melting in your mouth," they are specifically referring to Campfire's pork belly. because that's exactly what it did. just melted all up in my mouth and lit my taste buds on fire. normally, i find pork belly prepared this way a little heavy and can only stomach a few bites, but i could have eaten the entire dish. but of course i didn't, because i'm a lady. and the octopus was about to show up. and show up it DID. i don't like celery, and this dish had plenty of it, but because it was shaved super thin, it was actually super palatable. the octopus was incredibly tender, and there were little bits of chorizo throughout that gave it the perfect balance. also, love me a good chimichurri sauce. and finally, last but truly not least, the chicken. a whole ass half bird, charred to perfection with roasted red pepper, kumquat, and fennel. apparently i like fennel now??? i didn't even know i liked fennel like that, but here we are. if i hadn't already been stuffed to the absolute brim, i could have destroyed this entire dish. the chicken was juicy and tender, and paired with the fennel, you're almost like just having a healthy dish??? LOL. although we went in with every intention of ending the night with s'mores, our bodies simply said no. there was no more room at the inn. see what i did there :P so instead, we left and went on a very long walk to digest all the delicious goodness that was Campfire. i cannot wait to go back. mostly for the broccoli, which is a sentence i never thought i'd write in my life. and this time, i will absolutely be making a reservation.

    This place has amazing food!!! It's one of the few places I've been to that I absolutely love…read moregetting vegetables here! Everything I have eaten here, and I've been multiple times, has been delicious! Great place for foodies! The only thing is it's not super comfortable. The seating is hard and you feel like you are camping, hence the name campfire. I've sat at the bar, the high tops, the seated area, inside and outside. I've always wanted to leave a little early because it didn't feel good. Service is great! Food is epic, seating needs much improvement unless you do want to feel like you are camping and eating Michelin level food ha ha ha!

    Talk about coming full circle. The last time I was here was 5 or 6 years ago, so I decided it was…read moretime to stop back in. I'm glad I did. Beach Break Café totally nails the Oceanside beach vibe. Laid-back, minutes from the water, with genuinely great service. Then there's the food. I was hanging 10 on a fluffy omelette stuffed with tender shrimp, scallops, creamy avocado, and melted cheese. Every bite was rich, fresh, and ridiculously good. Not to mention the side potato pancake, a meal in itself! And the pancakes? Big, pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth fluffy. The French toast was golden on the outside, soft and almost custardy in the middle. Basically, breakfast had no business being this good. After 5/6 years between visits, I think I waited long enough. This is definitely a wave I'd ride again!

Not only did they have egg dishes, which could be gluten-free, but they had pancakes, which are fairly hard to come by these days.. This place was crowded from the moment we parked. The reviews on Yelp looked great so that explained all the people. The vibe inside was surfer all day all night. Ended up waiting about 30 minutes and ended up sitting at the counter for a party of three. On the weekends, the counters are still part of being seated by the host. We decided to try the gluten-free pancakes with a side of eggs. All the food tasted delicious. In fact, all the food that we saw walking out of the kitchen looked incredible as well. Hoping to go back to try the different dishes, especially the biscuits, which obviously are not gluten-free. Poor husband, he'll just have to watch us eat the yummy biscuits!
