Wonderful spot for a fresh, healthy lunch. Good was fantastic. Service was excellent. Thank you!

Super fresh great sandwiches!Delicious breads!!Fantastic crispy seasoned fries!Nice friendly service!Fun reasonably priced happy hour menu!!

We weren't alone showing up for happy hour mid week and let me tell you... those hand made empanadas will be on my mind forever! Everything was delicious. It was fine dining food in a casual family friendly environment. Fast friendly service too. We sat on the patio which was covered and huge. Perfect for our party of 6. We ordered the white sangria topped with fresh strawberries, house made lemonade and I had the pineapple cream soda which tasted just like a daiquiri. For dinner we ordered an assortment of dishes to share. Tuscan Chicken Sandwich w/ Sweet Potato Fries, Thai Chicken Curry Bowl with Jasmine Rice and Roasted Mixed Veggies, Surf & Turf Plate with Garlic Mashed Potatoes + Roasted Brussels Sprouts, California Burger with Side of Fries. A side of Mac & Cheese. And our biggest mistake of the night (maybe the year) was only ordering one Chicken Empanada with Chimichurri Sauce. I suggest ordering one per person for real! My favorite dish. The kids got their usual safe foods Kids Noodles w/ Butter and Kids Chicken Strips but even that was an elevated version that they sincerely appreciated. Plus they ate the main dishes as well. For dessert we had the Peaches & Cream Empanadas and Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (they did not taste GF!). This is such a perfect place to go when you want a casual home cooked style meal. Come alone, come with friends, date night, happy hour. It's truly meant for everyone. I might come back tomorrow for happy hour. read more

The burgers are delicious, and the fries are amazing, We had the brussel sprouts and some bowl. All of it was great.

Best grass fed burger in town. Grandma's mac and cheese and excellent healthy choices. I recently had some glitches in the on line delivery ordering , but finally was fixed and I had delicious new Fall Special Chipotle Beef Bowl. Mashed potatoes, butternut squash and red wine chipotle beef , and a huge greek salad. The greek dressing is awesome. Little gem in the La Costa Rancho Santa Fe shopping center. Nice patio and great Happy Hour wine. Healthy food , Nice atmosphere, smiling , helpful staff . read more

Lots of GLUTEN FREE items. Moderate prices and a good patio dining area. Was the food better than Urban Plates? Probably not, but we still spent 3 hours on the patio celebrating my birthday. read more

This place is a GEM! We found it after getting haircuts. The food is hand crafted and covers everything from burgers to curry to Nashville chicken. The prices are very reasonable for the area. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Oh and the empanadas are handmade and delicious! Can't wait to come back! read more

Bushfire Kitchen - La Costa - Menu - American Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Was really looking forward to trying Bushfire for a long time. They're right across the road from us and my kids love steak and salmon now. Big let down. Everything was overcooked and unseasoned, The surf and turf was ordered med rare and was cooked well, the special broccoli crowns were the size of an index fingernail, had zero flavor and cooked to mushville and disintegrated with touch. The cauliflower was doused with straight sesame chili oil, the same kind I use at home in my ramen. Good but nothing you go to a restaurant for. the battered fries had an interesting seasoning. Super familiar, nothing original. There was not one single customer nor food delivery person that entered the restaurant during our 30+ minutes there during peak dinner time in a super busy town center. Bummed read more

Love this place! They have the best burgers and sweet potato fries that are out of this world! I get the en fuego burger and my husband gets the California burger, so good! I've gotten their salmon bowl and their new Mediterranean summer specials, it's all so good! Their happy hour wine is good too. Honestly, a great, casual place with good food! Who could beat that? read more

Four of us had lunch Sunday, March 1st. My wife and I were bringing another couple who had never been there. The food was as delicious and wholesome as we had advertised to them. What made it exceptional was Vanessa. Her customer service exceeded expectations. She was warm and friendly but also on top of things. She anticipated our needs and took care of them smoothly. She is an exceptional representative. read more

Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was ok - nothing really stood out as excellent. The steak was tough, most of my bowl was mashed potatoes and the veggies were bland but some salt & pepper helped. I appreciate ingredient sourcing. read more

I'm pretty sure this is my second review for the bushfire kitchen in LaCosta but I am super grateful this place is in my neighborhood! I love their daily happy hour between two and five you can get some wine half off appetizers specials and order off the regular menu as well. Today we had really good service provided by Emily cheerful friendly and professional. We ordered the gaucho steak sandwich it was delicious and also some chicken wings which were super tasty. This is my go to place in my neighborhood if I am creeping steak sandwich late in the afternoon me and the husband love to come here for an early meal don't like eating after 5 o'clock. Grateful for the bush fire !! read more

Never disappoints, highly recommend. Healthy dishes, good size portion, enough for leftovers later!

Decided to try Bushfire last week and I am glad that I did. I tried to call in a to go order but quickly found out that it was online ordering only. No problem. Fairly easy to enter the order. Plenty of choices to choose from on a diverse menu and they had empanadas and cookies too. I thought the prices were very reasonable especially with how much food you get, and compared to some of their competitors. Decided to try 3 of the empanadas, beef, chicken, seasonal guava and they are good, but 1 was a little dry (the beef one). A little pricey for an Empanada, but good and tasty. The mac and cheese did have a little spice to it, but it was yummy. the small portion was still a lot of food and a good value The spinach and strawberry salad was delectable, definitely want to get that again. Paired very nicely with the poppy seed dressing they suggested. The Tuscan chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious and will try that again as well. The trench fries were good too. More of the larger size fries and they taste good. I did not try any of the cookies, but will next time. The online ordering system said ready in 25-30 minutes and it was ready right on time about 27 minutes. The outside is nicely lit at night, and there is seating available as well. Plenty of TVs inside showing the baseball game as well. read more

Excellent burger! I ordered online and it was very easy to customize my order as I'm a bit picky. It was made exactly as I ordered it. Juicy & delicious. They have nice outdoor patio seating. Nice calm ambiance. Thank you! read more

First time trying this place. It's walking distance from my father's house and we wanted to go somewhere close but somehow my dad missed this spot. Checked the menu and noticed they used only high quality ingredients. Organic Grass Fed Beef, Steak, organic chicken, etc. The pictures looked awesome and so we went and walked over for dinner. Blown away is an understatement. Food came out very fast and it has a very casual atmosphere for the food being so good. Price isn't outrageous. I got the Chimichurri Tri Tip Bowl with jasmine rice and Roasted squash. Flavor was out of this world and the portion was far more generous than I was expecting for $14. This is our new spot for sure and the fact we can walk here in less than 5 mins is even better. read more

My wife and I eat at Bushfire twice a week. The atmosphere is rustic but comfortable, the staff are welcoming and the food is always good. The portions are just right to share, or dive into a personal feast. I cannot say enough. Try them, you will be full and satisfied on all levels. read more

food here is incredible, my friends & i love coming here whenever we want something quick and super healthy! service is quick and workers are super nice. The atmosphere is comfortable as well. read more

Kind of pricey, food is pretty average. Came here one afternoon for early dinner, this place is a fast casual type of place, so you order at the counter and get a number and then you go sit down and wait for them to bring out the food. We ordered the En Fuego burger and aside of Brussel sprouts. As well as one chicken empanada and one beef empanada. The burger looks really good, but it was very disappointing in flavor. The bread was whatever, the meat was OK, everything was very underwhelming. The chicken empanada had no flavor whatsoever. And the beef empanada had good flavor but the crust was very dry. The brussels sprouts were swimming in a sugary sweet sauce that didn't taste very good. The ambience is nice, open big tables. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

staff is so friendly. My whole family needs different food accommodations and I always take them here because they have so many options to satisfy everyone. Very clean space. read more

We were looking forward to eating here. Location was good, plenty off street parking during evening time. Place was clean, service was good. Everyone was helpful. The food was a disappointment. The tri tip bowl was dry and hard to chew, way overcooked! Possibly suggest not cutting meat into cubes would be my recommendation! The burgers were also overcooked and not tasty at all. Had ordered medium. The place was busy which lead our party to wonder why? Did we order the wrong items. We did order the chicken empanadas, I don't think the garlic condiment that came with it, complimented the empanadas. The fries were crispy and cooked well. Don't know how experience the cook was regarding the tri tip. A let down dish. The chimichurri sauce also needs to br reinvented- less garlic perhaps? read more

Perfect lunch for sharing! Wonderful employees! Always so caring too. We get the Grilled BBQ chicken plate and have Sweet potato French Fries and a Greek Salad. It is great meal! The ambiance is quiet and comfortable too. Nice drink choices and don't forget to try an Empanada. read more

Completely incompetent operation. They need to shit down this place as this is the 3rd or 4th time they have completely gotten our family's order wrong after waiting an hour to be served. This was a last straw as you shouldn't get a headache from taking your family to dinner. Not sure what is going on here but the management needs to be visited by corporate. We will never be back. Family of 6. read more

the food was amazing, I got a chicken sandwich with fries. A chocolate chip cookie aswell. the sanwich had pesto, red onions, and it was really good chicken and bread. the fries were a perfect crunch with basil. service was really, really! good. I was greeted in a friendly manner at register and when seated with my family, we were briefly checked on after a few minutes in our meal. No extra talking needed since we had our mouths full. We felt comfortable asking for anything we needed such as an extra ranch and did not feel rushed. Very nice experience. The ambience was nice too. we had the opportunity to eat outside on a nice sunny day. the music was not too quiet nor too loud. there were people around us but the soundthat caried was nit intruding by being too loud, and it was a nice touch of background sound. My 4th tine at Bushfure and 100% feel the excitement to go again. read more

we got the spinach strawberry salad wings and the focaccia bread all was delicious! Louie is so Professional and greets us everytime with warmth and a smile. absolutely make us want to come back at least twice a week!! Louie is an asset to Bushfire. read more

Delicious food, great ambiance and really helpful staff!! Thank you so much for putting so much care into what you do! Will be back!!

When Bushfire first opened, we thought it was great. The food was fresh and the salads were tasty and fresh. Not so much any more. There seem to be new people serving and such every time we go in which makes me think there is a high turnover. I like their options but everything seems to be over cooked or not fresh like it used to be. In my opinion there is less attention to detail and providing good service that used to happen in the beginning. And prices have increased a LOT! read more

Love the double patty hamburgers and sweet potato fries! Super convenient and quick delivery.

William was phenomenal. He had great customer service, made sure the food was right and was overall an enthusiastic individual. The en fuego burger was delicious as well and the gluten free options are amazing. Very good experience today. read more

A great place to eat, especially if you have a gluten allergy! So many gluten free options! I could order almost everything on the menu!

Stopped by tonight to grab a quick bite, since I know all of their food is precooked and it usually takes them about 2-5 minutes to get their orders out. Waited for 30 minutes. Watched a lot of other customers who came in after me get served. I've run many restaurants, this is a quick serve concept. They need to get their line organized. I understand it was a Friday night, but the kitchen was pure chaos. Saw many many guests complaining about ticket times. Management needs to get this placed dialed in if they are going to try and keep up with their DoorDash orders and still give timely service in the restaurant. read more

Great food, had the tri tip plate tasted amazing! And the curry bowl was amazing as well. Great customer service ! Will return!

We usually have good experiences when we go. My wife's meal was very cold. Her side dish wasn't cooked all the way. When we brought the food up. The staff gave us attitude. Told us they would re fire it. We waited for over 20 min. Finally i got up. I guess they forgot about us. They promised a refund. Still haven't received that. Also the knifes they give you to cut thru the steak don't work at all. We had such a hard time cutting the food. Won't be back read more

excelente customer service the food was delicious congratulations to the cook the empanadas over past our expectation!
