We're talking real deal food with friendly service. My permanent date had the chile verde, which was fantastic and savory, with just the right amount of tartness that tells you someone is actually blending tomatillos in the kitchen, and my mole took me back to this little place in Lamont, CA called El Jacalito. I was transported back to my childhood, y'all. My permanent date and I like making the drive from Solana Beach to Oceanside every so often, and we will be coming back!

Finding this place on an AI suggestion for an early dinner coming back up north from La Jolla, took…read morea chance and pulled into the parking lot that is directly a stone's throw from trains going by. Its a very cute and charming patio and seating areas inside and out, and was lively. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the ambience as we found it very bland, re-heated type. Service was good, but couldn't figure out why food was so off and tasteless. The Birria Eggrolls sounded divine but had that reheated vibe and texture. Was very underwhelming in terms of taste and crispness. Meat and cheese looked like it was faded/left out after cooked or reheated. We then split a seafood enchilada plate and it was completely void of any taste; barely any seafood in it, just 2 heavy thick smelly corn tortillas, the rubbery kind that's served at Rubios locations (are they still in business?) I love me some corn tortillas, but not these rubber mat-thick ones, the light fluffy corn ones. $40 hefty price tag wasn't close to delivering on any point value or taste wise. We asked for the beans on the side, and I have to say odd as it is, it was the best refried beans Ive ever tasted in my life. Asked for some house chips (I guess they dont bring unless you ask here) got a small portion to dip in the bean spread; it was the best part of the meal, and it shouldnt have been. Basically, blew a C-note just to find out Sharkey's has better tasting food. A one and easy done for us, too bad.

I ordered a Chile Relleno + Taco plate and got the carnitas taco. Also grabbed an orange Jarritos since I don't regularly get these at home. Food was prepared quickly and the guy at the counter was pleasant and efficient. Plenty of seating was available, but I decided to get take out and brought it back to where I was staying. Food stayed hot after a short walk, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. There was honestly TOO much food, and I had enough for a late night snack and early breakfast bite as well. I would definitely come back to try something else on the large menu!
