Overall, Anita's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina has a lot going for it. The food had great flavor,…read morethe menu offered a nice variety of options, and the chips and salsa were delicious. The restaurant itself is clean, inviting, and has a great atmosphere that makes it an enjoyable place to dine. Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Our server was not attentive and spent a significant amount of time chatting with another table about personal matters. Our water glasses were never refilled, and it felt like we were forgotten. The food also took much longer than expected to come out, and it seemed as though our server may have been eating instead of checking on guests. I'd definitely give the restaurant another chance because the food and ambiance were enjoyable, but I'm hoping for a different server next time. With better service, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

It looks like there's another one or two for the food. They had plenty of heaters. You just had to ask and they would turn it on. There was a few well-behaved dogs. My friend said they usually come around to take drink orders, but we didn't see anyone on a Friday night. We ordered at the bar and sat where we could watch the padre game. The sound wasn't on, which was fine with us. Next to the bar, there's a counter to order food, then you take a number to your seat. I didn't look at the menu but the tots look yummy and a big portion.

We found a parking spot and walked around looking for somewhere to eat lunch before we continued our way up. We walked by this place which looks like it can be very fun at night and decided to check them out. They have indoor and outdoor dining area with the outdoor being covered patio. The weather was really nice, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the view. Our server was very nice and we got sat right away. We decided to order 2 draft beers which were really refreshing and cold. We ordered the chips and guac to start. The chips arrived even warm because of how fresh they were. I highly recommend this as a starter. I don't like walk so they offered some salsas. All of the salsa were delicious and the chips complimented them very well with just a little bit of salt on them. My boyfriend decided to order two shrimp tacos and I wasn't too hungry so I ordered one grilled mahi-mahi taco. These tacos were amazing. The shrimp taco salsa went so well with the shrimp they were delicious. I regretted only ordering one mahi-mahi taco because it was great. Overall, I highly recommend this spot and whenever we go back to San Diego, we will for sure be stopping here.

AN INCIDENT HANDLED CORRECTLY: My friend and I sat at the bar, which was our only option as the…read moreoutside courtyard was filled for the great live music. We had so much fun and met some great people, like Dan who was sitting next to us... unfortunately, we eventually met a really rude (likely very drunk) woman and her friend. Dan went out to the courtyard to dance to Toga Party band... This rude woman insisted on Dan's seat, even after we told her there was someone sitting there... his drink still on the bar... she pushed it off to the side, spilling the beer and sat halfway on the seat... she didn't care and said something like, if he isn't here, the seat is open and ordered a beer for her and her friend. My friend and I let it go because she was so aggressive and drunk, we really didn't want a confrontation. Dan eventually came back from dancing (probably less than 4 minutes). BTW, there was no seating outside, so this was our only option as we arrived when the band started playing. Dan returned and explained to the woman he had been sitting there for over an hour, and wanted to finish his beer and take back his seat... she started calling him all kinds of ludicrous names and talking BS! He sat halfway on the stool, (she was on the other half) standing his ground but not responding to her verbal assault) and my friend told me she was saying all kinds of really mean stuff to him... I couldn't hear because I was on her other side... the restaurant was loud, as most restaurants are are around 8 pm. The bartender was great! When he realized what was happening and tried to reason with her to be a nice human, he finally realized she would not choose that path and pulled the 2 ladies drinks (from her friend as well) and said... "you're outta here, don't make me call security". (obviously after trying to speak to her calmly)... but she persisted until security was called to escort her out. She called him a racist, which he was defiantly NOT (she was Latina, but she was trying to use any excuses for her bad behavior). THEN... I wish I was done!!! Her sister came over about 10 minutes later... ordered a beer and continued to berate Dan. Literally staring him down like she was going to end him!!! She asked him aggressive, leading questions... not trying to get to the truth, but to defend her sister, so I chimed in to speak reason, (which didn't inflame the situation, but did not change her attitude at all) My friend told me even her own brother was trying to get her to walk away... the bartender realized what was happening and pulled the her drink off the bar and kicked her out and said, everyone with you needs to leave! Security came promptly and they left. I gotta say, her brother came back and paid for the drinks (they were almost full when the staff pulled them)... he was embarrassed and apologized to us all, he was nice and made an effort to be reasonable. Ultimately, the staff was very busy, but when they realized what was happening, they were on it!!! the staff will help take care of you.... Especially in the summertime when you don't know what kind of crazy drunk people show up. They even bought Dan a beer for having to endure the berating... (he almost left) and was a great sport and did not instigate her toxicity. I've been coming to see live music here for decades with friends and never experienced this before. Security and the bartenders took care of us when they realized what was happening. Overall, a great time and knowing that the staff has your back will make me be even more inclined to come back! I must say this was a rare event and I'm so thankful for the professionalism of the staff. I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to say, Thank you Coyote bar and grill for your professionalism and support to make it a fun evening! I will continue to support your business and appreciate your staff!

Had to tell you I'm really happy that I watched the World Cup game here I live in Los Angeles,…read morewhich is about 93 miles away from this place, but a good friend of mine recommended it and although it was a challenge to find parking because it was Friday night and kickoff the World Cup ceremonies. The seating I got was incredibly comfortable. The service was great and I gotta tell you I kicked it up with probably one of the newest appetizers I ever have they call rattlesnake eggs they're jalapeños wrapped at bacon and cream cheese inside they were super delicious. I got the avocado ranch to dip it in. I have to tell you though the Angus burger medium rare now I might make a recommend medium or medium well because it is juicy, but this hamburger was delicious and juicy and it is very well sized, but let me tell you the Coyte grace came from what my friend ordered and boy was jealous The coyote nachos are incredible. I recommend getting them with steak... These flavorful delicious nachos. Come with an incredibly dark salsa that will make your mouth water. I had to get extra sour cream and jalapeños because my friend knew he wasn't gonna be able to eat them without some Assistance, whether he wanted it or not not to mention you wanna take some chips and salsa home they'll sell it to you right here. this is what we're the trip from Los Angeles and I'm gonna tell you although it gets loud in here when he gets Act it's a family restaurant and we all love that on a Friday night... And actually in this case every night for me but Friday nights they also have live music in outdoor seating I don't wanna ever pass this place up, but let me tell you those nachos? I might move here. lol!

Lighthouse is always a great option. Especially right before summer hits and it gets slammed w/…read moretourists It has great views and is great for small to medium size groups. Our server (Chuy) was great. Very attentive but not overbearing. We started with a few apps. Crab cakes - yes, coconut shrimp - yes, calamari - meh...they're strips and were decent but no actual cocktail sauce which I think would have been nice to add. I got the pan seared Black Sea bass w/ a couple scallops. I was excited for the bass and it was good but honestly it was slightly dry. The scallops were delicious. Wasabi garlic mashed potatoes - couldn't taste wasabi or garlic. - the table tasted and agreed. Not a big deal but just saying Hahha. Anyway, always worth coming for a meal. Others got the tacos and they may have won the day

The host, Chris, told us to sit where we wanted, then he kindly moved my walker out of the way. Very soon our server, Oracio, came with menus and to take our beverage orders. Too many times we have to wait, but our drinks were delivered quickly. We chose one of their local craft beer offerings. Then he gave us a perfect length of time to study our menus and order. Then our dinners arrived, also quickly. As we ate, there was the nice bonus of a beautiful sunset -- with no pressure to turn the table. If you go here on a Tuesday or Friday, ask for Oracio. The food and beverages, and the ambience were all great, and the excellent service tied the whole experience together. We'll definitely come back.

If you are a African American, I don't recommend this place…read more I visited this restaurant today and sat by the open window by the bar. I waited a minute, no service or acknowledging me, so I made sure to catch the bartender who was talking with another customer, I went out of my way to smile and give him eye contact. I had to ask for a menu... as I was waiting for a menu a white couple sat down at the bar and I watch this same bartender get them water and take their order for their drinks, So I decided to move to the bar directly to get his attention and get service. Well, he still did not give me eye contact, he clearly looked busy, however he managed to service other patrons and even that same couple was able to oder chips and salsa, rec'd their chips and salsa and I just sat, waiting for him to say something to me, at least give me water! As I waited over 5 minutes and he didn't acknowledge me, say anything. I even had to get a napkin from a table and wipe down the area I was sitting.. This is so unacceptable Blatant disregard for me! So all I can gather is he didn't want to serve me. I am 67 yrs young, well dressed, black women!! So, black folks PLEASE be-aware I hope this doesn't speak to this entire restaurant, but this bartender was unprofessional, so I got up and left.. Honestly, I wonder if this could be a vibe in Carlsbad... Be careful & mindful!

He rubbed his thigh against mine multiple times. So much to where I turned to him to tell him to stop, as the rest of the bar was open for him to sit. He continued to do so. Weird people sometimes crop up at the bar, but to have the bartender Rich defend him after I told him how weird he was being was the real problem. Seems to be a problem for me to tell someone to stop touching me but not the fact that someone continues to do so.
