Pleasantly surprised! A very nice date night meal of Caldo de Siete Mares (a special, not on regular menu, with scallops, shrimp, octopus, mussels, calamari, fish and lobster) and steak fajitas. Delightful! Also a nice dessert of passionfruit creme brulee, also excellent.

Do not eat here. They got our order wrong and even when the correct food came out it was terrible. I was sick the rest of the day.

Very nice in or outside dining. Drink options are vast and taste very well (Una Más and the guava mojito). Service from our waitress was great. Chips and dip weren't our favorite, but didn't take away from our experience. We recommend the Brazilian Prime Skirt Steak, very good.

I don't usually bother to write reviews but this was really an outstanding meal! Perfectly cooked fish. Flavorful and delicious short rib enchiladas and even the complimentary salsa served with chips at the beginning of the meal was excellent, fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!

Stopped in for Brunch and I was very happy about the whole experience. Great outside dining and a huge interior. No wait to get in and service was attentive. Food options were amazing and my meal and my wife's meal were both excellent. Highly recommend and if I lived in CA I would be back often.

This restaurant has a very cool vibe. One in our party got tacos and was very happy. The cornbread as an appetizer was good. I got the chicken enchiladas and they were so salty that my tastebuds felt assaulted. The rice was sticky, and had clumps in it. The margarita was good. Would not return.

The food we ate was outstanding and very tasty. Fresh ingredients and delicious seasoning. We just had a very peculiar waiter who was acting very bizarre. From throwing napkins to our table members, splashing drinks and literally serving sliced lemons in a crumpled napkin, which her proceeded to dropping it in front of the person who requested it. Our party felt rushed and uncomfortable. Overall we had a great time and didn't let the service distract us.

On Saturday night we decided to try this place that was a couple minutes away from the place we were staying. I loved the reggaeton music playing in the background. We order 2 Brazilian steaks, yuca fries, beef tacos, fried calamari and for desert we decided to try the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. The Brazilian steak was cook to perfection medium rare- it tasted amazing that chimichurri was delicious. The yuca does crunchy from the outside and soft-smooth in the middle. Over all I this enjoy all the dishes we got to try. Complementes to the cook/cheft! Food wise it was delicious!

We (3 of us) had the short rib tacos, short rib enchiladas, ceviche, corn bread, and salmon and not a spec of food was left on our plates. Fabulous and we will definitely be back next time we are in Carlsbad. We sat on the covered patio where the noise level was very pleasant.

We've been here a few times. Something has shifted. I wanted to love it, but it was just...off. Ceviche toooo lime-y. 2 of 3 fish tacos not worth the calories. I love the way this place looks and ample indoor outdoor seating, but I don't think we'll be returning since there is so much competition in the village
