Lunch Oct 24, 2018. Beautiful outside marina table near the water. Tried the Mexico Plate which was an assortment of Mexican food. Much to our surprise the meal was excellent. We would order it again. But as usual at this restaurant, when you're finished eating you never see the service person again with the bill, it seems almost every time we need to get up and go inside to pay the bill. read more

We went one day for the breakfast buffet. They had a few different meat options, chilaquiles, a pancake/oatmeal station, fruit plates and juices. Everything was great. They have tables inside and a few outside for seating. We then came back the next day for lunch! We got the mixed grill to share between 2 people. It's a lot of food depending on how hungry you are this could feed 3-4. Absolutely great spot. Service was really good as well. read more

It hurts my heart to write this review. Coming here was always something I looked forward to when I stayed here scuba diving. I have been coming to this resturaunte for 6 years. After an amazing day of diving today, I just wanted an easy good meal. Went downstairs to the bar, and the bartender on 13 July 2024 at 1900 was so kind and helpful. He was working his butt off. I made sure I tipped HIM well because HE is trying to do his best. He did not cook the food. I had a couple beers and ordered my favorite here.... cheese soup, or caldo de queso. I have not eaten much as I was diving all day. I also ordered 3 beef flautas to go. I looked for the salmon I usually get, and it was not on the menu, but availability and prices change. I get that. Back to the soup ...the broth was bitter and had hardly any spices or flavor. It was such a disappointment...like it was thrown together and microwaved. Usually the broth is rich with complex flavors, like a layered cake. The broth could stand alone with nothing else in it. Yes ..it was that good. I said to the bartender it was very bad, and the bartender apologized. A few seconds later the "cash you out lady" came over and she was a straight up unpleasant. She did not offer any apologies or offer to comp the horrible soup. It was business as usual. I was so disappointed. The flautas- three flautas covered by some type of thrown together shredded lettuce and rice n beans and guacamole. I can say the guacamole was amazing. The beef in the flautas was dried out and tasteless. It tasted frozen. It was a sloppy mess that , once again, seemed thrown together. You can see the difference in the soups in my photos. First and last photos should be then and now . Holly is a sad panda tonight . read more

I've now been here twice for dinner, once on a Saturday night in February and the second time on a Friday night in September. Both times, the place was dead and unfortunately, the mediocre food quality just does not match the elegant ambiance. San Carlos is a pretty chill town. This place probably offers the finest dining, but I found the casual local joints to offer much better seafood. That said, the marlin tacos were stunningly fresh and delicious. If I had to do it over again, I would just get about three orders of those (3 tacos per order). It seems this place may have at one point been better known for its breakfast buffet for guests of the attached hotel. I'm unsure if/how they will adapt, but the dinner service isn't cutting it. The only reason I'm at 3 stars is because of some of the food, the atmosphere, and the outstanding service, which is to be expected when you're the only customers in the restaurant. Even the wine selection needs a facelift. I was pretty disappointed with the white options for a seafood establishment. read more

Great service, great food and pleasant atmosphere. View of the marina from all tables and the bar. We were not sure what to expect of a hotel restaurant, but we were pleasantly surprised. The head chef is French and he did make an appearance at our table. The food was well seasoned and there was a variety of drinks, plus a killer beer special for happy hour. Two for one beers. read more

Worst "service" ever in Mexico. I put it in quotation marks because the bartender didn't even acknowledge us at the bar for 5 minutes. We had a party of 4 and there were only 2 other people at the bar. Nothing like losing couple hundred dollars of food and drink orders. Stay away from this horrible service. Take your money somewhere else who will appreciate it. We ended up walking out, and as I glanced at the bartender, he was smirking as if to say, get out of here gringos. Also, last time I was here I ordered a hamburger. A culinary disaster. I decided to try something different this time, but never got the chance, and will never come back. Adios. read more

Well did not have a good experience today. There were lots of staff but the service was terrible. The menu ordered food was slow and they forgot one order (wait another 30 minutes). Most annoying is some of us got the brunch buffet only to find it was shut down 15 minutes later. Bad on all levels but about as good as it gets in San Carlos read more

Went on a Saturday morning in January and it was not super busy at first (~8:00AM), but by the time I left it was getting busy. There was a very large selection of dishes, fruits, cereal, and juices. The staff was very friendly, spoke English well, and the view of the marina is magnificent. read more

Now, I am not one to complain about a restaurant or let alone write a review but the experience here was horrible. Don't bother coming here. Food is sub par and service is horrible. I could tell they noticed we did not enjoy the time there because they lowered the music and the manager hovered close to our table. For context, we arrive at 1pm for lunch, apparently it is a self seating place and we asked if we could sit anywhere. After being seated the waitress did not come to our table until she had to be waved down, 40 minute wait. No water was given after being asked for it 3 times. Our drinks (coke, 2 teas, juice and water), did not come until 30 minutes after. So there is an hour and 10 minutes where we were just sitting there waiting. Since we waited 40 minutes we already knew what we wanted to eat. The order was, 2 paninis, 1 pizza, a burger and the seafood pasta. The first to come out was the pasta. Chicken pasta and after telling our waitress that the order was wrong she said that we told her chicken. Before I could even reply she takes the plate and walks away. Pizza comes out next, decent no complaint there. But just wait, the burger comes out after and it's cold! The sea food a pasta comes out and it is basically tomato sauce and shrimp...cold too. Once the last two paninis come out they tasted like they were in the fridge from the night before, tasted like it had freezer burn. Fries were cold and we had to ask for our napkins, which were all displayed on every other table but ours. We could overhear our waitress saying that it was time for her break. I get it, breaks are important and burn out is real, but if you were that done pass us off to someone else! So, again we arrive at 1pm and don't leave until 3:40pm tables had come and gone multiple times. I ask for the check, did not even finish my food and when the manager comes with the check I work up the courage to ask if they had just opened. She says they had been open for 20 years and that they are part of the Marinaterra hotel. I give her a not so subtle disappointment look and she asks if we want boxes for our food. I say no thank you and that we were out of here. I have never had such an awful dining experience and such a rude waitress. Avoid this place at all costs. Go to Barcaza next door, food and service are an actual 100/100. read more

El Embarcadero is the restaurant at the hotel Marina San Carlos. The restaurant overlooks the Marina. Food there is generally very good. However, we mostly frequent the restaurant for breakfast and go out to some of the other San Carlos restaurants for dinner. We do though often come back after dinner and have their flan for desert. They have some of the best flan we have found. Now - the place has won in 2012 and 2103 the World Margarita challenge held annually in Tucson (in 2104 they placed 2nd). So this is one place you don't want to miss! We do frequent there for breakfast. They do have a buffet, but typically we order off the menu. Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros are some of our favorites. They do offer free wi-fi so you can go and enjoy and check email while on vacation. read more

What a great find. We were headed out to another restaurant but it was closed and this place was recommended by a friend for their cheap beers. It turns out they not only had cheap beers but delicious food at a very reasonable price. I had a pork rib eye that was cooked perfectly to medium with a delicious mushroom sauce and the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten. The only disappointments were that they ran out of beer and did not have Tres Leche's for dessert. Otherwise this would've been five stars. read more

Place is so nice but service was terrible. Food took for ever and it was all brought out in peaces. Food was also cold. Overpriced!

This buffet style breakfast restaurant was very beautiful on the outside& inside. Right in the "downtown" area of San Carlos. Food was pretty good but the restaurant smelled like a dirty rag, the utensils & Cups also smelled pretty bad. Service was great, multiple servers made sure we didn't need anything & made it very clear they would help in anyway they could with anything! Prices are reasonable for all the options they have to offer! My favorite was the birria & chilaquilles! read more

This is a very nice place. The decor, the seating, the service, the view, and the overall cleanliness and professionalism of the place puts it in the top restaurants in San Carlos. We arrived for the breakfast buffet, which they do every day, and were seated, provided with good coffee and juice and were given free range. We started with sausages, a custom made omelette, and spinach puffs. There is a wide variety from cereal and oatmeal up. We are not big eaters and soon filled up before we got to the pastries...but not before we crammed in a waffle. The buffet is a standard 180 pesos. This is less than $10 and represents phenomenal value. As this was a Saturday morning, there was a small farmer's market going on by the waterfront at the marina where we bought $30 worth of produce for $10. Embarcadero is a classy, upscale restaurant with a low price tag. It is quite possibly our new, favorite breakky spot. read more

My wife & I ate Thanksgiving dinner here. The restaurant is located behind the hotel right next to the marina, so it was challenging to find. The Thanksgiving dinner was buffet with lots of customary fare...turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, beans & carrots, turkey stuffing (a new experience & very tasty), ham, salad, pumpkin pie and another dessert. The dinner came with a glass of wine. Overall, We thought the dinner was good, given this is a traditional meal for the US, not Mexico. We've had meals of less quality for more money in the US. read more

Food was subpar for the price. The service was really bad (servers were busy talking among themselves, on their phone, did not place our order correctly), tons of flies to make the meal experience pretty annoying read more

This place doesn't have maple syrup, so if you order pancakes or waffles, just beware of that. They do have substitutes like honey, but it was a little unfortunate. Eggs are not great either, I suppose my standards were too high. Great location though read more

Great value for money breakfast. Several choices on the buffet from breads, cakes, fruit and full of local specials.

Oh my goodness...best chili rellenos in the world. Lorenzo is very fun and a great waiter.

Very beautiful and romantic restaurant part of the Terramarina hotel. Serves breakfast everyday with a beautiful view of the marina. All you can eat for $10, with omelettes made to order and fresh juices and lots of other entrees from chicken, scrambled egg with ham, cactus/nepalitano , frijoles, beef and olive Piccadilly, sausages, potatoes, fresh fruits and breads and soups and oatmeal and cereals and yogurt. Excellent wait and table service. read more

Food is decent, views are great and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We like the tortilla soup a lot! They have a good caprese and Caesar salads, too. The bar staff is very kind and serves Indio and Tecate on tap. Air conditioning is a plus! read more

san carlos is a quaint town on the coast of mexico dripping with culture and amicable locals. there's no worries and no cares. el emabarcadero sits directly on the marina with an amazing view and an almost rustic vibe. However, this place does not believe in seasoning their food. salt and pepper are BANISHED from the kitchen apparently. their food is very bland and hardly anything to recommend. their service isn't that great either. If you're looking for a place to catch a quick drink before you stroll down the marina, it's a cute place. To eat, it's a different story. read more
