My wife and I were on a Costco run, and decided to stop by and have lunch at the "somewhat"…read morerelocated Tip Top (where the fish market used to be). First impression - damn, what a menu! Stretches across most of the store, just tons of options. Second impression - they are WAY understaffed for the lunch crowd that they get (this is a pretty common issue these days, unfortunately). Third impression - outdoor seating only - so this is definitely not a rainy day place to go. Final impression - TIGHT parking lot....I would not want to take a larger car or truck into this lot. After waiting in a single file line for about 10 minutes, we finally got to the front, where the staff takes orders the old-fashioned way - put it on a ticket and clip it onto a ticket wheel for the kitchen. Everything is made from scratch, so we knew that after we placed our order for a bacon cheeseburger combo and french dip, we were going to be waiting a while. And yep, about 20 minutes later, my name was called, and I picked up our orders. My wife's french dip, she proclaimed, was simply awesome. The fries are done in house (note, with zero salt, so you'll want to ask for some when you pick up your food), and are definitely tasty. My bacon cheeseburger was HUGE. Half a pound of meat, then piled high with bacon. Side note - multiple options on the cheese (I chose swiss) and they use real cheese - a definite plus. The burger was just too big - too tall, too much - my only recommendation to this awesome place is lower the size so that you can actually take a bite. A nit, I know, but still.... Gotta recommend, we'll hit it again, but will try to hit it after 2pm...seemed to slow down a bit about that time.

We decided to try it out today since we were in the Carlsbad area and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! Met the super helpful manager on shift Antoine and a very lovely lady (I didnt get her name) and another gentleman named Chris who I believe was working in the back. They were fantastic in explaining the menu and things around the shop. We ended up getting the Cheesesteak, dry aged burger, the fries and the bologna sandwich. All of it was very well done. You could taste the seasonings throughout the meat on the cheesesteak and burger, and the bologna was savory and CRISP on the edges. Also ended up spending a bunch on a lot of the seasonings and hot sauces that they had up on the shelf. The whole place was also very very neat and clean all around (including the bathroom). Highly recommend coming to this location and getting help from this amazing staff!!

I…read moresent my wife in to get some of their carne asada (arrachera) and while doing so, she had me on speaker phone to assure that she was getting the order correct. We were looking for their prime product that was already marinated. The following morning, in preparation for a few guests arriving later, I grilled the product and unfortunately found out that the meat counter gave her a unmarinated product. While mistakes do happen, we called the store to patiently explain our issue and asked not for a refund, but a store credit for the next opportunity to get some carne from this small business. Unfortuately, this was flatly denied and the initial offer was a bag of chips or a small container of salsa the next time we came in. We were told by the manager's proxy, Valeria, that since the meat was cooked, it could not be brought back, because? Who knows. If it would have been raw, she said they would have taken it for an exchange or refund. What would they have done with it raw? When I asked how was I to know that it wasn't marinated before cooking it, she had no answer. I made sure to tell her that we have no intention of defrauding the store, and even mentioned I left a glowing review for them in Yelp. After another apology by her, I asked to speak to the actual manager. He declined to get on the phone with me. Curiously, after exclaiming my disappointment near the end of the conversation with Valeria, she offered me 1 free lb of meat but made sure to say she (they) would still be losing $20. With receipts in hand and a calm understanding phone call I was hoping for better customer service for our neighborhood store, but alas, more failure over $40 worth of meat. Too bad.

Not exactly Michelin star quality, but if I created my own star system for Taco Tuesday - and I've…read morebeen to dozens of Taco Tuesday purveyors - it would earn the maximum stars! To me, Taco Tuesday is an amalgamation of "Food" and "Deal". Food - the tacos at Primo are simple, but perfect. Meats grilled in house, fresh cilantro, onion, tomato salsa, and good tortillas. Most important is the meat which you can smell from the outdoor grills as you approach on Vista Way - Asada, Al Pastor, Birria, Adobada are all delicious. Deal - Regular price for tacos (street taco size) is $1.49...reasonable for a good quality taco. Taco Tuesday deal = $0.69. Wow! Best deal I've seen. Four tacos including tax, $2.99. Definitely going for 6 next time (which will be this Tuesday), and still change back from my Five. Primo is a market, not just a tacoria. They have a large selection of cold beverages to go with your tacos, including what looked like house-made aguas frescas. There's also a ceviche bar serving various types of ceviche, BBQ meats prepared in-house, bags of homemade tortilla chips, and lots more.
