Speedy staff and kitchen with quality food. My biggest regret is that we are leaving California in the morning so we couldn’t take our leftovers. Highly recommend.

Great food, service, drinks and atmosphere. Short wait, homemade tortillas, large portions and a awesome waiter Jose C! He was so attentive and personable and just made our experience that much better! I highly recommend this restaurant. I only wished I lived closer because I would be there often!

I love this place! Remembering the old location in Old Town, but this Carlsbad location is still super fun. It's really really big and despite the huge number of patrons the food always comes out hot and delicious. The service is always super friendly, and of course the margaritas are massive. We had the chicken fajitas and shrimp tacos

I don't eat a lot of Mexican food because it's normally cheap quality and super greasy. This on the other hand, was not. You definitely get your money's worth at this place. I have memories of coming here as a kid everytime we would come down to CA for vacation and so coming back was very nostalgic. I loved it then, and I love it now. The flavor of my carnitas was off the hook. They give you fresh tortillas, and plenty of toppings. The meat was so juicy and so flavorful. Everything that was brought to our table was super good and I didn't try anything that I regretted. If your ever in the area, Casa De Bandini is a must try. Also, there's a mall right next to the restaurant that you can shop in while you wait for a table. They text you when your tables ready so you can leave and then come back, which is really convenient on Friday nights when it's so busy. (Sorry for the low quality photos, the lighting wasn't that great!)

It's not really a "reservation". You call an hour before you will be there and are added to the waiting list. You go to the desk and check-in when you get there at the time you requested. They text you when your table is ready. We had no problems!
