The staff recommended the SD Burrito. I also got a horchata. The horchata was thirst quenching on a hot sunny day. The SD burrito was huge. It was at least a pound of food, that can easily feed two people. It contained a lot of shrimp and beef, with rice, cheese, pico and some fries. It was delicious. Next time I might try something smaller.

I mean, the fact that I drove twenty minutes and went to an outlet mall solely for food still stuns me. The pastor burrito was enormous. Unfortunately, it was very mushy and 80% filler. The tortilla was nicely toasted but that was the only positive. The chips that came with the burrito were not completely stale but they were more stale than fresh. Come on, now. You cannot serve stale chips. I loved the chipotle salsa. Make sure you get some of that. The kiosk gal was very pleasant. I wish I had a different and better experience but it just wasn't the best.

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.

Unfortunately, our most recent order was a major disappointment and a serious health concern. The carne asada tacos were bad--the meat looked and smelled off, and my wife has been severely ill and vomiting ever since eating it. The tripa taco was complete mush and didn't taste properly cleaned, and the guacamole arrived completely brown. The only good part of the meal was the side salsas. I understand every kitchen can have an off day or a shift change, but serving spoiled meat is unacceptable. While I might have given this place another chance based on past orders, my wife definitely won't want to risk eating here again. Please step up your quality control and maintain the standards you used to have. I want to see your business succeed, but you have to listen to your customers and keep the food safe.

They make it super easy for me to customize my tacos which is very important for me as I am picky.

Absolutely everything was mouth watering. I love the rice because it's plain. I'm already looking forward to coming back. The service is fantastic. Super sweet & friendly employees. Always cleaning and keeping the restaurant clean and tables ready for guests. Overall it's a great vibe and it's not loud even though it's located right off El Camino Real.

I was in Carlsbad for a meeting with a client. My boss and I wrapped up the meeting a little later…read morethan expected, and before heading home we decided to grab a bite. We found this little spot tucked into the same business complex and figured we'd give it a shot. It was a Tuesday afternoon. We walked in, and it was completely unassuming. There was a deli display near the front that was basically empty. You look around and immediately get that feeling - this is a local place. A woman greeted us as soon as we walked in. I looked over the menu. Sandwiches, burritos, simple comfort food. I asked if they had soup. She said they had chicken poblano, then turned and yelled, "Ma, we have soup?" That was the moment I fell in love with the place. The sandwich I ordered wasn't anything revolutionary. Honestly, it was a sandwich I could have made at home. But that's exactly what made it so beautiful. It was made exactly the way I would have made it myself. The same style of bread, turkey, lettuce, tomato, onions, mustard. Nothing trying to be trendy. Nothing trying to reinvent the wheel. Just a phenomenal sandwich. It was generously sized, incredibly fresh, and surprisingly affordable. The chicken poblano soup was one of the best I've ever had. They didn't skimp on the chicken. It was perfectly seasoned, comforting, and tasted like someone actually cared while making it. As we were eating, I turned to my boss and said, "Man, the older I get, the more I just don't want places like this to disappear." It isn't modern. It isn't flashy. It isn't designed for Instagram. It probably isn't winning awards for interior design. It just is. And that's exactly what makes it special. Family businesses are different. They aren't just businesses. They're part of the dinner table. They become woven into the family's life. They're talked about over breakfast, stressed over late at night, celebrated together, and carried from one generation to the next. They're almost like another member of the family - a living, breathing organism that everyone helps keep alive. That's why we need to support places like this. Not just because they're local, but because supporting people like this is part of what keeps our communities human. And if that isn't enough of a reason, support them because the food is seasoned with care. Sometimes the best meal you'll have isn't at the newest restaurant in town. It's at the little family-owned spot that quietly keeps showing up every day, making great food, without needing anyone to notice.

What made it worse was watching the employee start making burritos for people who had just walked in while several of us had already been waiting. When I finally received my food, I noticed I was missing a side of chips. I tried to let her know, but she completely ignored me and started helping other customers instead. After waiting that long and then being ignored when I tried to get a missing item corrected, I eventually just walked out. The food may be good, but the service and organization were extremely disappointing. I won't be returning.
