    14. Two Fish Tacos Plate Combo
    Amy K.

    This place was open late until 10pm when most restaurants around closed at 9p. I got the fish taco combo. The rice is amazing, some of the best Mexican rice in north county! The fish was fried crispy to perfection and the pieces of fish were large. I'm happy with this place and will be back.

    Mucho excellent!!

    Gloria made our early morning breakfast a delight! As chef, bartender and server she has it all! The best machaca ever! Huevos rancheros very good, eggs cooked to order! The michelada was very colorful and tasty! Gloria added a special touch to everything! Thank you for a lovely breakfast! We will be back!

    My husband got the Pollo Asado Soft Taco with guacamole, no pico. It was delicious!

    Stopped in for Breakfast on a Tuesday. This location has had a little restaurant serving breakfast…read moreand lunch here for over 50 years. Originally "Allen's Alley." It has changed hands a couple of times over the last 10-15 years. We regularly ate here as part of our Vista rotation for breakfast/lunch, but we had a poor experience a little over a year ago, so this was our first time back to see how things were. I lasted Yelp reviewed in 2018. There still is a small counter for service inside along with four tables for four and one table for two. Six or so outside tables for service also. One table inside occupied and two outside when we entered. We were greeted by a very pleasant wait staff who were extremely helpful and efficient. We had waters, coffee, Tea, very quickly. Coffee was very good with an assortment of creamers to choose from. I ordered a special Omelet with Chorizo and cheese off their chock board. Side of fruit ($2.50 up charge) instead of potatoes along with Rye Toast. The Toast was just one slice of bread. $17. My better half had the pancake combo, two pancakes with two eggs over easy, one sausage patty. $14.50. We enjoyed the food and service. The prices were fair for the portions and quality of what we ordered. We will add Mom's back into our Vista rotation.

    Nice little spot. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it…read more Sat down right away, greeted, brought coffee, a good brew. Very busy spot. Three stars because because I kept having to flag them down for something. They are nice people

    It's my birthday so we're on vacation in Carlsbad. As a native San Diegan, Carlsbad has always been…read moreone of those freeway towns. But, my east coast hubby found a nice resort so here we are. Can't complain. I am exploiting my birthday princess privileges and insisting on brunch. Their menu was promising, and they didn't disappoint. Really enjoyed my Garden Veggie Hash and side of sausage links. There's a sign that says "Farm Fresh" and my plate lived up to it. My husband ordered Corned Beef Eggs Benedict - yikes, because I'm not a fan of runny eggs. But he was very satisfied. Jared! Come on. Shout out to our server. He was attentive, kind, proud of what the kitchen is cooking - and just overall fun. All the employees we encountered were sweet, but it was always nice whenever he would walk up. He has a laid back fun personality that exemplifies my hometown.

    I tried Brunch Point for the first time today with my parents and had a nice experience overall…read more The restaurant has a bright, open feel with both indoor and outdoor seating, plus plenty of parking. I also noticed dogs are allowed on the patio. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu questions. My parents both really enjoyed their meals. They ordered the Classic Omelet and the Ensenada Omelet with home style potatoes and were already talking about coming back after the first few bites. I ordered the Mexican Omelet, which was just okay for me. I would have liked the bell peppers to be cooked a little longer, and the dish could have been warmer when it arrived. That said, there were enough positives that I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu. Based on how much my parents enjoyed their food, I think it's worth another visit.

Connie or son Bill care very much that your needs are met. Foods delivered promptly and hot. I would recommend CONNIE'S Restaurant to anybody who likes home-cooked meals.

    If I could give it a ZERO for this visit I would! I have been going to Connie's for several years…read moredined outside etc. Met Coninie several times she showed us around and talked about all the wall goodies where they were from with MUCH pride she was a ball of joy!! BUT in the past year plus something has "drastically" changed in her personality, the last time I was in before this past week, she looked depressed and ready to give up, she said she was tired and her chef was out sick. I came very close to offering her a break and running her restaurant for a couple of weeks, FREE. I have many years of restaurant business, owned my own back in the day, and a great cook, so this would've been a piece of cake. I didn't but I decided to take a friend there last Wednesday from out of town. We sat down, she had a few tables but by no means busy, she came over to take our order, my friend ordered coffee, me water. She brought those like it was the toughest thing she had done that day, her energy was so DARK and ICCKY, I wanted to leave before we got started but we were hungry and had a big day planned. She was not the least bit FRIENDLY, I placed my order and asked if it would be possible to get my waffle after my main meal. If looks could "KILL", she glared disgustingly at me and said, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME" I didn't quite know what to say it was a very simple request I wasn't asking to substitute or anything other than A TIME DEAL. She huffed and puffed and said, "I have that big table out there so it's gonna be awhile". It was a 6 top, WHOOPEE! I said that's fine, my friend ordered and she walked away, I sat for a minute and thought HELL NO, I will not be treated this way by anyone especially the owner of the restaurant and subject my friend to her ICKYNESS on her vacation! So I got up walked over to her open kitchen and said, "I think we will go somewhere we feel more wanted". she looked up glared and said fine! We started to walk out and she came out and said $3.00 for the coffee, like she was A DRILL SARGENT! I would have said, bleep, bleep, bleep BUT..... MY friend hadn't even touched it but put the $3.00 down and asked for a to go cup. That made her even madder, my firend said, tough day?AND her excuse yet again was her cook was sick. Sorry lady that only works for awhile and why was that our problem. I personally think it's time for her to retire with that attitude! We decided to go down to our new local restaurant "BLACK BEAR DINER"! What a great experience, had an excellent meal and service was awesome too. Will never return to Connie's NEGATIVE diner. Head the warning!
