Norte Mexican Food

The food was good. Everything is Super Covid compliant, there is no wait staff. You order your food at the desk and everything is packed to go. Beverages are made and sealed with plastic and they have these cute faces and you get a straw that can poke thru like a capri sun. Your food is ready quickly and everything is hot and tasty. You're giving disposable silverware and napkins. You can sit outside by the fire or stay watch the game if you choose. You still order at the cash register or the bar. drinks are made and covered to go glasses. not much has changed all food is packaged to go even if you're dining in. However the customer service is amazing and the staff is super friendly. I had the chicken flautas and they were meaty and tasty.

Came for dinner on the patio. There is no waitstaff here, and food quality is average (not bad, but does anyone in the area make a decent enchilada?). Prices were high for what it is. You order at the bar, wait for food to be brought out from the kitchen in to-go packaging with plastic utensils, then go find a table. I wasn't expecting that, so a bit disappointed, but understanding that businesses are still struggling. Will probably be back after they regain their footing and offer a normal restaurant experience again.

We’ve been going here for three years and today I was pretty disappointed. They no longer have servers and you have to go order at the bar, and then pick up your food. It comes out in to-go boxes. Basically this restaurant has turned into a fancier fast food place rather than a sit-down restaurant. I understand it’s due to some of their policy changes because of COVID, but just know that your experience won’t be what it used to be if you’ve been here prior to March 2020. The women’s bathrooms stunk so bad. Both of my small children commented, and my daughter wouldn’t stop holding her nose. It smelled like musty rotten eggs, and visibly looked dirty. Also, for those who like queso dip, beware that their appetizer “queso funidto,” is not the kind of queso that you can easily dip into. By the time we picked up our order, it had already hardened and was essentially a block of cheese. On a positive, their chicken tortilla soup is fantastic, as is their salsa. The salsa is pretty spicy too… if that’s what you like.

Great place for lunch and a Patron margarita. You can eat inside or outside or just do take-out, your choice. Explore Carlsbad Village and/or stroll on the beach afterwards. Either way, good times.
