A challenge in this area can be parking but I was able to catch a spot fairly quick and a hop, skip and jump from the restaurant. The best part of the experience was the view. Seeing the sunset near the beach brings a level of peace at the end of a long work day. The horchata was ok but nothing like the old days when someone made it from scratch. This location is near my residence which makes it even more ideal. Only wished they'd have chimichanga on the menu. But at least I know where to fill my rolled tacos craving for a decent price.

It is pretty good portion for lunch even without meat. There were utensils and condiments at the counter. Picking up is easy. The staffs at the counter were very nice also. The restaurant itself is very relaxing. It's got the modern decorations. It's nice to sit and enjoy some quality time with friends.

What used to be a staple lunch spot on Wednesdays for the smash burger deal has been ultimately…read moreruined by one change... the fries. They used to be seasoned fries, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, now they are just a sad excuse for French fries and are over salted. I don't know what caused them to change the French fry supplier but it has completely removed this place as an option for lunch for me. Beyond the constant changes to the burger toppings (which are more tolerable) what kept me coming back was the fries. If the fries ever change back to how they used to be I would come back but until then I don't want to support this change.

The food was on point, and the service was great. Our server, Carmen, was pleasant, attentive, and offered some great suggestions to my mother-in-law, who was visiting from out of town. I ordered the Cardiff Crack Taco and a Baja Fish Taco, and both were good enough to make me want to come back. We also had the guacamole, which was excellent, and I really enjoyed the salsa served with the chips. Great atmosphere, great service, and great tacos. I would definitely recommend En Fuego Cantina & Grill if you're in the Del Mar area and looking for a fun spot with really good food. We'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, my roommate and I were not impressed by the food and drink - my frozen mango margarita tasted chemical-y (I couldn't finish it) and the rice was lacking flavor.

Which is cool, but I personally never tried it since I don't know how long it's been sitting out for. The prices, in my opinion, are on the steeper side (compared to other taco spots). I got 2 Battered Fish Tacos, no avocado. It was about $9.58 for the 2. I was the only person in the shop at the time-- and ordered first before there had been a line behind me. There seemed to be 2-3 people working that day-- but they took a while to make the tacos. If I had known about that, I would have ordered just 1. They do give lots of cabbage and pico on the taco which is great. The batter isn't too thick and the fish is perfectly cooked! They called out my order when it was done and asked if I wanted salsa in the bag and then gave me a few napkins. The workers were very friendly and kind. They do have seating outside in front that is sort of shared with Harry's Coffee Shop next door. There's also a bench that you can sit and eat at. Or you could walk a few min and take it down to the beach.

Playa Kitchen is a new restaurant amongst the life science companies in Torrey Pines Science Park…read more I have seen several of these establishments pop up in various industrial complexes across the county. This one happens to not be far from the entry to Torrey Pines Golf Club on the other side of the road. Several dedicated parking spaces were across the driveway in front of an office building. Plenty of outside tables were available including a set along the sidewalk with terrific views. The inside dining room had an open-air atmosphere allowing sunlight and the breezes to flow in. Four menu boards were posted behind the service counter. Beverages were listed on the far left panel, breakfast and light plates were on the middle left, wraps and sandwiches were on the middle right, and bowls were displayed on the far right panel. From the last category, I picked the Soba Noodle Salad which was the bottom choice of the six varieties. Chilled soba noodles were mixed with cabbage, carrots, beets, cucumber, edamame, green onion, and crispy tofu. A peanut sauce was applied as a dressing. What I liked the best was the four pieces of tofu because the crispiness added texture to the salad. The noodles were buried underneath the other ingredients while the sauce was savory but almost too salty. Workers at the nearby buildings have this great spot to now hang out and collaborate over food and drink. The prices aren't cheap, but the convenience and good quality cannot be overstated. I gave a four star rating for my lunch at Playa Kitchen.

The gentleman at the counter was super friendly and kind. He offered me a complementary shot of their house made bone broth. Being that it was warm and afternoon, I wasn't drawn to this but am so glad I did. It's delicious and probably really healthy. I decided to try the shrimp tacos and they are delicious, juicy and flavorful. I loved the tomatillo salsa that came with them. The house made tortillas were fresh and tasty as well. When the server brought the bone broth out to me he also brought a bowl of water for my pup. Excellent customer service. My meal came out quickly as well. I can really see why this place has high ratings. Good food, great service, clean, easy parking in the attached garage-what's not to love. It's casual with a laid back vibe. Highly recommend.

As all fair food is, it was pretty pricy but you're to expect that here. Serving size wasn't anything crazy but it was definitely enough to satisfy hunger and have room for other fair treats if that's your thing. Flavor was decent, but the best thing about this place was for sure how fresh it tasted. Every ingredient was high quality and clean. It was definitely a nice alternative to everything else around. Staff was friendly too. I can for sure see myself coming here every time I visit the fair in the future
