    Torta

    Food was delicious, especially the aguas frescas drinks! Flan was better than some other places. The only thing is the place itself is ok. Other than that, food was great.

    This is my review of this amazing sandwich that I had at the Hidalgo Bistro, a Mexican Bistro in Hamburguesa Cubana - Beef patty, sausage, ham, bacon, mayo, lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickled jalapeños, house dressing, all on a custom toasted bun. This was a really filling burger!! The flavors were a great blend and with each bite I'd get hit with the salty ham, crunchy bacon, creamy avocado, some twang from the jalapeño! The toasted bun was a nice touch and next time I'd add some grilled onions. The inside is spacious and staff are very friendly. There's a small tv in the corner, which seems like it's more for customers who are waiting for their TO-GO orders. The ambiance is casual and relaxing. Their menu is very diverse and ranges from breakfast items like: omelets, chilaquiles, breakfast burritos & croissant sandwiches. Lunch items such as chicken wings, salads, tacos, burritos, burgers & sandwiches (like their Philly Cheesesteak). Dinner items include: pastas, Alfredos, lemon salmon, Parmesan chicken, and their popular 12oz Ribeye steak plate. Overall, I like this diverse Mexican Bistro and the family that runs it are nice and I want to come to try their breakfast burritos next.

    Club sandwich

    I think I found my new favorite place. Stopped in for a quick lunch, staff was super nice. Menu looked amazing I'll have to come back and try more! Ranch is a must I believe it's made in house

    Lemon salmon & a club sandwich
    Di R.

    Unassuming place with great food and reasonable prices. We had the club and the lemon salmon. Both were delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The only down side was they do NOT have airconditioning and It was extremely hot the day we went and it was uncomfortable inside. Won't go back during summer but will when it cools down. The other thing that bothered me was the waitress gender labeled us. Calling us "ladies" when one of us did not identify as a lady. I would just kindly ask management to ask staff to use non gender labeling terms when speaking to customers.

    This place is truly a diamond in the rough! The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. The staff is kind and attentive. The whole experience felt like we were invited into someone's home. The food was made with love! You can taste it in every bite. Thank you for the meal. We will return soon!

    From Oscar our server to his Uncle the Cook and his other family members, this place has great service. Don't let the decor or menu take away from how absolutely delicious the food is. My burger cooked to perfection with the bun tasting so fresh along with its counterparts. My husband had the Ribeye and said it was delicious and comes with fried onions and pats of seasoned butter. We took home the flan and chocolate cake. Yum!!!!!

    Rib Eye Steak

    Had a lunch meeting here. The food was great, fresh and reasonably priced! The service was great as well! I will definitely be back.

    Rib Eye steak

    Great family owned restaurant. Very attentive staff. Delicious steak smothered in butter and served with onion crispes on top! Space was clean and music was great!

    Celebrated our mother's day here, because they were just doing regular brunch and not charging…read moreextreme prices. I made a reservation about 2 weeks out with no issue. Street parking only, but wasn't too hard to find a spot as we came early. The restaurant is very nice and looks new. There is two dining rooms one towards the front near the bar area, and another in the back. We sent in the front for brunch. The menu had a good variety of items, and we decided to go with the chilaquiles and the shrimp and grits. I love Shrimp and grits, and it's not too common on menu's so i has to try it. The dish had pork belly instead of bacon, and shrimp. THe texture of the grits was very good, not too runny or too thick. The shrimp seemed good quality and not chewy or rubbery. I really enjoyed the dish and would order it again. The chilaquiles were an interesting take, not at all what you're normal chilaquiles would be. They come with lamb but we substituted with chicken. They were covered with a type of hollandaise sauce and we both thought they were good. I also ordered a breakfast shot that had bourbon in it, and a piece of pork belly on the top, and a shot of orange juice. It was pretty strong and very good. I would definitely order this one again, and the piece of pork belly they added on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back to check out their happy hour, it looks like they have an awesome menu, and they even do it on the weekends.

    So when this place first opened, we were in love. Whenever we went there, it was busy, but service…read morewas still attentive and the food is delicious. It's been a little bit of time since we've been there, but this has always been a place on top of our recommendation if somebody is coming to town it's where we would take them to show them a good meal and when other people ask for recommendations for a nice place for dinner, it's what we would tell them fast-forward now I think a couple years later from the initial opening and we don't come quite often just bc we have some new favorites, but it was Sunday night Labor Day weekend and we didn't know where to go so we ended up here. They admitted when we first walked in that they were shortstaffed totally fine and I'm happy to sit in the bar area. Truthfully, we don't come as often because they got rid of my husband's favorite oxtail Birria burger, but we do bring friends here for brunch. Anyway, we were here for dinner on Sunday night. Service was short staffed like they had mentioned and we sat at a high top in the bar area. We started off by ordering a hard seltzer and a carajillo. My seltzer came out rather slow, but it took probably another 10 minutes for my husband to get his drink and when they brought it out, they brought two like they were confused on how many we ordered so we kept the one and then they ended up giving ours I think to what I'm assuming with some friends the owner at the bar not a problem but one thing that I did notice is that there were a lot of "friends at the bar" it definitely gave that kind of vibe they were doing shots with a patron, gave our incorrect food order to another, were testing a new cocktail recipe I think with some. They were sharing drinks with some patrons. It's probably a nice gig if you're friends with these people and I'm not hating on it. Then we ordered our food. I ordered some Mezcal lime wings, and my husband ordered the grits when my food came out the waitress brought a burger and a salad and we had to tell her that wasn't our food. Then we waited another extra five minutes for my husband's food to come out and it did. I will say the quality of the food hasn't changed. The wings were delicious. They were crispy and they were well seasoned, and my husband really enjoyed his food, but it was the lack of service throughout the meal that really hit home for me that we probably won't be coming back as often and maybe just for brunch. It was such a weird experience to feel like because we were paying we were getting worse service than those who were getting free drinks and such but I can't complain because the food was good if the service was bad and the food was bad I'd be leaving a lower review but I can't give any higher than three stars if there was a 3 1/2 I'd leave it, but I almost never write negative reviews for places, but this really struck a nerve for me. I think because we came a little bit before 7 PM. It's not as if they were closing in 20 minutes. I could understand poor service for that, but I didn't really see why the service was so poor looking around. It's just a bit confusing, I guess.

It mixes industrial and classic touches with cozy leather booths, stylish décor, and an open, lively energy that still feels relaxed. It's polished enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough to linger over one more coffee, think business casual vibes. If the weather's nice, the patio is a great option too. The real MVP was our server, Katelynn. She handled all 8 of us by herself the entire time and never missed a beat. Our drinks were always fresh, and she stayed a step ahead of the table. Great solo performance. I split two entrées with my bro, which I highly recommend if you can't decide: California Burrito: Very savory, with creative sauces that set it apart from the usual breakfast burrito. Eggs Benedict: Well put together with quality ingredients. It's a classic done right. Potatoes: Fresh and delicious. I don't normally care for breakfast potatoes, and these still won me over. We left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. Bonus: The Forum Carlsbad shops are right nearby if you want to walk it off afterward, which we did. Cheers!

    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.

We checked in 10 minutes early for our reservation, and the wait leading up to being seated was a little frustrating. We were just trying to grab drinks while we waited, but there were no seats available and no one really acknowledged us. A lot of people were dining at the counter, but we were just trying to order cocktails, so that part felt a little awkward. The drinks we ended up eventually ordering were Flamekeeper and the Kentucky Crest, which were both phenomenal! Once we were finally seated, the service was great. The cornbread was good but leaned pretty heavy on the blood orange. The broccoli is an absolute MUST order. It was crispy but airy, smoky, and honestly one of the best veggie dishes we've had. The pork chop was a tad dry, but everything else was lovely. The cavatelli reminded me more of a pasta salad than a warm pasta dish. Ending with the s'mores was such a fun concept and made for a cute, interactive finale. The heartfelt card signed by staff congratulating our anniversary was so sweet! The complimentary glass of champagne was also a kind gesture, although it came toward the end of dinner, so the timing felt a bit off. Overall, a really beautiful spot with standout cocktails and some great dishes. A few hiccups here and there, but still a memorable anniversary dinner.
