Carlsbad Restaurant Reviews
You will not find "fast food" chains here ... There are so many really great Carlsbad Ca Restaurants ... each one offering it's own special menus.
Each of these casual Carlsbad restaurants is uniquely Carlsbad, and they all rate very highly, unless otherwise noted.
Carlsbad does have it's own TGIF restaurant, but it is not in the Carlsbad Beach Village. TGI Fridays is a popular option, but it is a chain-type restaurant, found on any San Diego restaurant guide. When in Carlsbad - Dine Local!

the Daily News Cafe is open for both breakfast and lunch.
|
Just a block off the beach, the Daily News cafe offers patio dining and inside dining as well. Choose to sit outside on the quaint patio if you have a choice. A little more pricey than other restaurants around, but they make it up in large portions. The service has always been prompt and friendly whenever I have eaten here. |

Garcia's is definitely not my choice for Mexican cuisine. It just happens to be one of the long time restaurants you will find on State Street. Not one of the better Carlsbad Ca restaurants.
Personally, I find the food over-priced and tasteless. But, the chips are crisp and it is fun to be on State Street where you can people watch from your table. Garcia's has just undergone a renovation (too bad they didn't put more effort into their menu!) and it is now a gaudy site on our quaint Village main street. |
|
If you are hungry for Mexican food, my top pick is Los Olas on Carlsbad Blvd, just a short walk away. Las Olas has been voted best Mexican fare of all San Diego North County restaurants.
Los Olas is located at 2939 Carlsbad Blvd Carlsbad, CA 92008-2904 (760) 434-5850
