Navigate San Carlos' Mexican food scene with Restaurantji's recommendations.
“The caldo de pollo (Monday's only) and caldo de res (Tuesday and Friday only) here is amazing. Agua fresca flavors are delicious too. If you go there for lunch dine in, it's best to go early or later (not exactly at 12) or get takeout.“
“Quite a delicious carne asada burrito. The meat was tender and well spiced. It was as if I was eating a plate of Mongolian beef but instead of those juices and spices, it was more of a adobo asada style but Mexican. I feel like this review might not appeal to most readers but trust this local business is serving a burrito con mucho sabor.“
“The cakes are the best I have ever tasted, the bread is super delicious, golden, the service is spectacular, the lady is very friendly and they have a variety of very delicious foods. I highly recommend this place, visit it soon, it is a gem.“
“We love La Hacienda. Mario and Amelia put their heart and soul into putting authentic Mexican food onto your table. They'll greet you with a smile and take great care of you. Pro-tip: Love extra spicy salsa? Ask Mario for the good stuff.“
“One of the best taqueria’s locally that we like to support. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients made right in front of you. The portions are ginormous! We easily get two meals out of the burritos. My husband gets the carne asada with prawns burrito because that’s his favorite. I get the regular vegetarian burrito but also have tried the grilled chicken. The green salsa is my favorite! We’ve tried the tilapia taco’s too they are really good!We’ve also used them to cater a party and everything was wonderful! We had huge portions of carne asada, grilled chicken & prawns,they gave us rice, beans, chips, salsas, veggies, sour cream, guacamole The portions were so big that everyone took a lot home & we still had leftovers!Definitely recommend!“
“We ordered for takeaway. Everything we ordered was delicious! Chicken tortilla soup would have been better eaten there so the tortilla chips were crunchy but the flavor was delicious. The fish tacos were Delicious. Both grilled and fried. The iguey burrito had shrimp but I substituted it with fish and such a delicious burst of flavor! The shredded beef was not our favorite. Had a certain smoky flavor which some purple may like. But this is definitely going to be our btw favorite Mexican restaurant!Parking: Couple of spots available by the side of the restaurant that's theirs.Wheelchair accessibility: One wheel chair accessible parking.“

“Went in for lunch on a Monday, and we were able to order at the counter without a wait. The food tasted so fresh and was very flavorful. Like most places, Lulu's can't guarantee cross-contamination of gluten free items won't occur, but I felt comfortable as a celiac because most things are gluten free aside from the flour tortillas.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan dishes markedDietary restrictions: Gluten free dishes marked“
“Great place to eat for a reasonable price. It's not a fine dining establishment, but it's perfect for what it's supposed to be. A place where people and groups of people can relax and have a meal and conversation with each other without being or feeling rushed.“
“Their fish tacos are some of the best I have ever had. They are grilled not deep fried. They use red snapper when most places use either cod or tilapia. The way they cooked it was perfect and melt in your mouth and you get four nice small tacos and they use this really nice I think it's like a Chipotle aioli but it's really mild with tasty flavor. They have red rice which is really nice or you can sub for coconut rice which is to die for but beware it does have dairy in it. My friend had the pork shoulder which is the cochinita and it was really good too you could definitely turn it into tacos as well. The servers were awesome and very kind. I've been there twice now and the food is always great and so is the service. My friend got a non-alcoholic hibiscus drink which was very refreshing and had a low amount of sugar in it it was a perfect balance.“
“Reading all the bad reviews for this place makes me laugh a bit. I don't really get it because my visits here have always been good. I remember coming in on a busy Saturday around 11:45 AM. The place was super clean.I usually get the Mexican pizza and the classic crunchy tacos. These have been my favorites for the last 25 years. The best part is, they always taste the same. The pizza is full of different flavors and the tacos are fresh and crunchy. I look forward to these dishes every time I visit.The staff here is also friendly. They work hard and always try to make sure the customers are happy. I think that's really cool.Some folks complain a lot. But, I think they forget this is a fast-food place, not a fancy restaurant. You're not going to get food made by some world-famous chef. But for a fast-food joint, the food here is pretty great and always the same.In short, I enjoy eating here. The place is clean, the food tastes good, and the staff is nice. I can't wait to have more Mexican pizzas and classic crunchy tacos!“
“Their tacos hit a little different. It’s hard to explain but their flavor and salsa combination on their tacos resonate with me. Give them a shot, get at least 1 taco, customize it how you like, if you don’t like spice, ask for green salsa. Prices haven’t gone up over the years, great restaurant.“
