I completely understand that emergencies happen, but I was only notified by email. With guests already in town, I didn't see the email until just two hours before the party, leaving me scrambling to make alternate arrangements. For a cancellation this significant and this close to an event, a phone call to make sure the customer actually receives the message would have been the appropriate thing to do. I hope they take this feedback seriously, because better communication could have made a very difficult situation much easier to handle.

I have no idea what to think of this place…read more With all of the high praise I've seen in their reviews, including a number of Yelp Elites, I had very high hopes for a top experience from an established food truck. What I got was terrible on multiple levels. How was Takobar this disappointing? So, full disclosure on how my wife and I came across this place. Takobar was parked at my daughter's Multi-Cultual Festival, serving dinner, at Paloma Elementary in San Marcos. They were there selling entrees alongside a Hawaiian Ice and Sushi Burrito spots. My better half didn't want to risk getting raw fish from a food truck, so we opted for a Carne Asada Tacos Plate. Visually, our food was plated well and had a good spread. There was a good amount of food, plenty of beef, a side of chips and a cup of beans on the side. The onions and cilantro had a nice hand chop to them. And there was a healthy spoonful of guac on each taco. It was a very appealing start. As for taste, the carne asada itself was very dry, as if it had been cooked without any marinade, making the meat loose and crumbly. The cut of the beef was thin, I'm assuming they used slices of flank as opposed to a thicker skirt steak. And it had an overall feel like it had been cooked, then placed into a warmer to further dry out until it was served. The end result was somewhat bland, mealy, and unlike what Carne Asada really should taste and feel like. The Guacamole glopped on top was very thin, almost pureed, and didn't have any of the salt or lime flavors you'd expect from a good guac. I'm under the impression that what little avocado they had had been tossed into a blender and cut with a few cups of water to bulk up the volume to help it last through the entire evening of orders. At most, the best thing I could say was that it was 'somewhat' edible. The chips felt and tasted like they had come from a bag as opposed to being freshly cut and fried in the truck. And those refried beans. Growing up, I had been taught that there were three stages of cooking and serving refried beans. From the final stage of drier beans with scraped pan bits of Manteca concentrated flavor, all the way up to the initial stage of runnier beans where all of the ingredients have been blended together. The Takobar beans didn't even come close to that first stage and were more like a soup. The flavor was ... kind of okay, but I'm pretty sure they had also been mixed with a lot of water to help them go further that night. The thin and liquid end result was something I could easily do a shot of out of their plastic cup. So, yeah ... Takobar was pretty terrible. I am really hoping that this was an off-night, caused by the pressures of catering an entire school's worth of kids and parents. Or maybe a new cook working with too little behind the counter. Regardless, as it was, I have to believe that the bulk of these high marks from people with just a few reviews under their belts are from friends and family. Going to have to go the tastier route and brave the street sashimi next time. A very low two stars from me.

The Unadon was so rich, tender, and tasty. I'd rather have this eel bowl than an eel sushi roll at a restaurant with the same price but way less meat. I can't wait to be back :)

What a secret surprise hidden within the courtyard of a boutique hotel!…read more Keep in mind, street parking is the only option, but trust me it's worth the hunt. As you walk up, you'll see huge windows looking directly into the restaurant's kitchen, where all the magic happens. You may even spot a restroom along the way and wonder, "Am I actually in the right place?" Trust me--you are! We made a reservation, and the team was incredibly accommodating when we ran into some traffic and arrived later than expected. Since everything on the menu sounded amazing, unique, and completely different from what we normally order, we decided to go with the tasting menu, aka the Weekly Ritual. We each chose different dishes so we could try as much as possible--and I'm so glad we did! The drinks! The cocktails were just as creative as the food. As a whiskey lover, I had to try the Whisky Sour, aka Wolfsbane--Earl Grey, citrus, dark tea, and bright acid with what they describe as "the calm before the burn." Well... I loved it so much that I couldn't stop ordering them until we officially shut down the restaurant. Oops! Now, the food! For the first course, we tried the Baja Caesar and Crème de Poblano. The soup was such a surprise--the heat slowly creeps up on you, while the Caesar may look simple at first glance, but it was an absolute explosion of flavor. For the second course, we chose the Ceviche Negro. Its striking black color doesn't prepare you for the bright, vibrant flavors of the fruit and perfectly prepared fish. We also ordered the Smoked Tuna Empanada, and honestly, I haven't had anything quite this memorable since some of the incredible food I experienced in Peru. It was simply a delightful little pocket of magic. The third course brought braised beef with butternut squash purée, perfectly prepared Brussels sprouts, and an incredible mole. We also couldn't pass up the squid ink-braised oxtail. We never sleep on a chef who wants to reinvent the wheel, and this was exactly the kind of creativity we were hoping for. And, of course, we had to finish with both desserts. The perfect ending to an incredible meal just the right amount of sweetness to close out the night. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the incredibly creative food and cocktails to the welcoming and accommodating staff, every part of the evening felt special. A huge thank you to the entire team for a phenomenal experience! We'll absolutely be back sooner then my wallet wants.

I ordered the Estilo Baja and the De Coco, both had similar toppings and had a mild spice. The De Coco had a strong good coconut flavor that tasted like coconut oil so keep that in mind if you're not a big of that. The Estilo Baja was solid, the crunchiness of the fish was good and wasn't soggy. Overall a solid spot but I would prefer Oscar's battered fish taco if I wanted a simple fish taco, but Fish Guts is still good!
