    It's been a great while since I've been here. Came in on a Saturday for lunch. The place wasn't busy at all. The atmosphere was cold, areas were clean. Walked in to order and the lady at the register was nice. We ordered a Burro Del Mar (shrimp burrito) and 5 Taquitos (supreme rolled tacos). While we waited, we got our salsa at the salsa bar and helped ourselves to warm chips to go with it. The various salsas were delicious and the chips, nice and crisp. The shrimp burrito looked great but the shrimp was sparse. It was more of a cabbage burrito than shrimp. The taquitos however, were delicious! Going supreme was definitely the best way to go. Had all the fixings. Apparently, they cater and will have churros and other new items soon.

    I didn't realize Primos was serving wet/smothered burritos. I got a chicken burrito w verde sauce. What a nice treat. Delicious is an understatement. The burrito had ample amounts of chicken, beans, sour cream and the verde sauce was nicely spicy without overpowering. Will come back for another for sure. Service was very friendly and it was very clean and had some good tunes playing.

    I really enjoy this spot. The burritos are insane and you can definitely split them with someone. I like that you can serve your own chips, and drinks The flavor of everything I've gotten here has always been delicious and their staff is super nice Nice and clean and I never feel rushed out even if I'm yapping with my friend till closing Will be coming back

    Philly Queso Burrito
    Jemiah J.

    Best burritos and rolled tacos in town! I usually get my order delivered, and it always arrives hot and exactly as I want. I absolutely love their rolled tacos with extra cilantro. The salsa fresca they pile on top are always fresh, which makes a huge difference. Their Philly Queso Burrito is a must-try, and their habanero and red sauces are fantastic. The store is always clean and feels authentically Los Primos. The parking lot is also a decent size, which is a bonus. If you plan to eat at Los Primos and want a great view, I highly recommend sitting in the back patio section. You can enjoy your meal while watching planes take off and land at Palomar Airport.

    Hard Shell Tacos

    Taco Tuesday! Primos is right by my work and they have some daily specials. I ordered the two hard shell tacos for $4 each. One beef and one chicken. Opted for dine in and had some chips & salsa. They are protective of the salsa cups and I understand why because the salsa is really good. Even the mild salsa has a lil kick to it. Primos has warm chips that you can dish out yourself. Looks like they were training two new employees and they were both very nice. The food did take some time even though it wasn't too busy but they could have been dealing with ToGo orders. Not crazy about the fact that I asked for no cheese on the tacos and you could see lil cheese bits in the lettuce. Not great for someone who is deathly allergic to dairy. The taco shells were thick and crispy and both were packed with meat which is always nice. Love the wall with all the album covers that have burritos photoshopped in. Really funny and cute. They have regulars and for good reason. It is an overall enjoyable experience eating at Primos.

    This was my first time here. I ordered the Mulitas. They are on special from 11-2pm. You get two Mulitas for $9. If you have never had them, try it. I asked for corn tortillas. I guess they make them in flour also. These Mulitas are filled with the meat of your choice. I thought the carne asada was flavorful. It also has cheese, which I don't think they put enough. It also has beans in it. Which I am not use to having inside a mulita. Over all the food was good. My favorite part of their food is the sauce station. They have some spice hot sauce. I love it. Their carrots and grilled onions are good too. Last, I love the fresh chips they have. All self served and free. My food was made fast and brought to my table. So I would say the service is good. The employees are nice. Try not to come around 12. It gets busy.

    Breakfast burrito was 12.50

    My partner says the breakfast burrito was good, my steak tacos were plain without any flavor in the meat and smelled a little funky like something was off. I got two but didn't eat the second one. Gave 3 stars because the burrito was good but won't come back because the tacos weren't.

    Great place for mexican style fast food. I come mostly for the tacos- the basics- carnitas, carne asada, pollo asada, adobada, fish, shrimp. They have taco specials on Tuesdays and Wednesdays which make it worthwhile. The ingredients are fresh. If you do have a bigger appetite, you can get one of their monster burritos but honestly, it's way too much for me and I'm somewhat of a purist so I generally don't get the creative burritos. Decent option for lunch or a quick bite.

    Taco Tuesday
    Arnel D.

    This location is legit. With daily specials you're sure to find something to enjoy that doesn't break the bank. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. Also, very hard working. I never see anyone just standing around watching the clock if you know what I mean. The dining area is spotless too! The only issue I had was that their soda machine was out of carbonation - no biggie though... I still enjoyed my meal. I'll be back soon when I need my taco shop fix.

    I've been coming here for over 10 years and I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating on yelp. The staff are always nice. The place is always clean. And the food pretty much always hits. My go to orders would be the chorizo breakfast burrito add ham...always on point. I love their 619 burrito and on a taco Tuesday I could eat their adobado soft tacos until I pass out.

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner!…read more Over the past few years, several new chicken restaurants have opened around Carlsbad, and I'm very grateful to Yelp for turning me on to this place. BHC Chicken is completely different from many of the others I've tried. Yes, they offer a variety of sauces and flavors, but what really impressed me was their classic fried chicken. I ordered the boneless thigh meal, and it was absolutely delectable. The batter was incredibly light, crispy, and crunchy without being overly hard or heavy, while the chicken inside remained tender and juicy. Best of all, it was thankfully NOT overly salty. The flavor was beautifully balanced and, quite simply, exquisite. I would recommend their fried chicken to any and every chicken aficionado. I also tried the spicy rosé stir-fried rice cakes, which were delicious. They had just the right amount of heat, enough to make them interesting and flavorful without leaving that lingering burn afterward. And then there were the sides! The potato wedges were perfection: nicely cooked outside and wonderfully moist and tender inside. The French fries were also really good. The Bburing cheese balls were DIVINE, delicately flavored, slightly addictive, and just ridiculously yummy. The apple coleslaw was fresh, crisp, and refreshing, and the Bburing chips were another winner. Even the complimentary pickled radish was excellent and paired beautifully with the fried chicken. There are certainly other nearby restaurants selling fried chicken, but for me, BHC Chicken is the clear winner. I am SO glad I discovered this place. Fantastic chicken, excellent sides, interesting Korean specialties, and flavors that don't have to rely on excessive salt to taste good. My new Carlsbad chicken champion!

Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.

There are so many restaurants under one roof that you can easily make a whole afternoon or evening out of it. We've tried a few different spots and have been really impressed with the variety. Cosmos Burgers is a great choice when you're craving a good burger, while Lobster Lab is perfect if you want something completely different like seafood or a lobster roll. El Puerto Street Tacos is another solid option for tacos and Mexican food, and Rolled Up Sushi has sushi rolls, bowls and their huge sushi burritos, which are fun to try. There are also a ton of options if you're in the mood for Asian food. Thai Style has plenty of Thai favorites, Secret Sauce Wok & Grill is great when you want something hot and made to order, and Pho Ever is perfect when you're craving pho or Vietnamese food. Cacio is a nice change of pace with Italian food and build-your-own pasta, and Craft Pizza makes it easy when someone in the group just wants a good pizza. One of the best parts is being able to order from completely different restaurants and still sit together. You can have someone eating sushi, someone having pasta, someone with tacos and someone with a burger without having to compromise on where the whole group goes. Definitely save room for dessert too. The Mini Donut Company is always tempting with all the different toppings, and Twist New Zealand Style Ice Cream is another great way to finish everything off. Immersion Coffee is also convenient if you want coffee or matcha while you're there. The atmosphere is probably our favorite part of Windmill. It's casual and lively, there's plenty of communal seating, a full bar, and they regularly have things going on like live music and trivia. It's especially good for families or bigger groups because everyone can wander around, pick what sounds good, grab drinks and meet back at the table. Overall, Windmill Food Hall is one of those places you can keep coming back to and have something completely different each time. Great variety, relaxed atmosphere and so many choices that even a picky group can find something they want. Definitely one of the more fun casual food spots in Carlsbad!

Nearby to the outlets in Carlsbad, Legoland, the Flower Fields and Costco it is a great casual place to grab a bite. I have been here twice so far and both times on weekend afternoons. While it is busy, I find it a little bit more manageable than Liberty Public market down in Point Loma (which is much larger and an absolute cluster on weekends.). The windmill food hall, as of Aug/Sept 2026, has about 12 or 13 vendors to choose from. We like to grab a drink at the bar and then choose from the different offerings where we can mix and match from all different cuisines. My BF really enjoys the tacos from El Puerto Street Tacos (which the lady grumpily told us is not the same one that used to be in 10th Ave in downtown San Diego. Thai Style has a decent Pad Thai and the Asado Gaucho has good Argentinian sandwiches. I have my sights set on the Secret Sauce Wok and Cosmos burgers next.
