The tacos were really good -- flavorful, fresh, and exactly what you want when you're craving something simple and tasty. The tamales were also excellent, soft and well-seasoned. Everything also felt reasonably priced, which is a nice bonus! Friendly service as well. There's outdoor seating right by the stand, making it easy to sit down, take a quick break, and enjoy your food before getting back to your shopping extravaganza. Overall, it's a convenient, tasty, and reasonably priced option when you want a quick taco fix between stores.

The whole staff was very helpful and friendly. Our server was always right at our table when we needed her and our drinks arrived within minutes. Same with our dinner! The chips are so fresh and I swear I could drink the salsa as a soup! So good!! We had the chicken enchiladas with a green sauce, a couple of street tacos and the guacamole. The flavors were simply amazing, and we had to make ourselves slow down and experience the meal! The drinks were absolutely delightful too! The atmosphere is pleasant with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We will definitely make this restaurant part of our "Go To" restaurant's!

We love Casero. The food is above average, the staff is always friendly, and the margaritas are…read moresome of the best around. There's just one small problem: apparently you're not allowed to actually get the margaritas. This was our third visit in a row where our drinks showed up well after our food. On the drive over we literally said, "Let's give it one more try. It can't happen again." Oh, it happened again. First the bar was backed up. Then there was a party out back. Everyone was incredibly nice and apologetic, but after three visits, we've run out of excuses to collect. Last time, my wife ordered a second margarita after we finished eating because the first took so long. We sat around for another 20 minutes waiting for it and finally canceled it. The crazy part is--we WANT to spend more money here! In a perfect world we'd each have two drinks. Take our money! But apparently the bar has other plans. Great drinks. Good food. Nice people. Getting an actual drink? That's the adventure.

I'll definitely be coming back much sooner next time!

They bring hot chips, salsa & queso to the table. Delicious & addictive. I could fill up on just those. However, we ordered regular meals. Two got the adobada (pork w/ pineapple) tacos. Lots of meat on corn tortillas. My husband got ranchera enchiladas w/ ground beef filling. I got the chile relleno which was a poblano chile laid out with ground beef & cheeses on top. Unusual, delicious & healthier than the usual deep fried ones. The two boys got bean & cheese burrito & nachos off the kid's menu. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We will definitely be back.

If you are craving a great cheese sauce with chips, or are craving really good but junky Mexican…read moreFood, this is the place. When I say Junky, it's not that it tastes bad. It's just not the kind of Mexican restaurant where the veggies are organic and they are not using seed oils. And it works if you've got young kids in tow because the staff is nothing but friendly. I would say it's a very family friendly restaurant perfect for that little strip of Chick Filet, In and Out area of the 101 in Carlsbad. Funny. I am sure Chick Filet is not spelled that way .... but I've never eaten there, and don't really pay attention to fast food restaurants. In and Out is delicious too, but when I got to the bottom of the fries and it said they clearly use seed oils.... I was done. I understand that America is poisoning us ..... so I can't really applaud Miguel. But I also understand that many of us have young kids and less money. It's more about the gathering or being comfortable going for a meal. So it's definitely an option for many people. Plus we're stressed so comfort food is a nice break. I did not go for a salad. I did not go for things not fried. So I would say Miguels is good for a break from eating healthy. Not to deny yourself. Just not to do it as a regular thing. One last thing: My 3 year old grandson ordered fruit. Hmmm..... With gusto, garlic and gratitude, Chef Marian   San Diego Foodies Carlsbad Foodies

I had a yummy vegan taco plate! They have two vegan taco options, nopales and vegan choriqueso…read more(chorizo and cheese). The nopales were very unique and had an interesting slightly fruity flavor but I think I preferred the choriqueso. I got rice and refried beans as my side, both of which were also delicious. However I think there was some mixup and I'm pretty sure they accidentally put real cheese on my beans. When I ordered, I clearly heard the guy tell the kitchen that my plate was to be "all vegan including the cheese" but it seems like what happened was they put vegan cheese on my tacos but real cheese on the beans. Love that they are clearly making an effort to have the menu be vegan friendly but there seem to be some kinks to work out. Overall though I really liked the food here and I would come back! Everyone who interacted with us was very friendly and we enjoyed the outside seating.

My wife said she'd never really liked anything she got there, but I said let's give them another try. Counter service was meh. No personality. No greeting. Just took the order and sent us on our way. Her attitude seemingly got worse after I didn't tip. (I do NOT tip at a counter place where I do all the refills and bus my own table.) We got their a 8:30 and they had to put the coffee out because we ordered it. All the bar stools in the front were all upside down on the tables. I'm sure we could have pulled them down, but come-on. It's 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Put your damn chairs down. My wife ordered the Al Pastor scramble served American style (hash browns & toast). The portion was small (no WAY that was three eggs), and the al pastor meat pieces were lacking flavor. The hash browns were barely cooked. She said, "this is what I was talking about." $17 or so. I ordered the breakfast burrito allegedly with chicken fried steak in it. $17 for JUST a burrito with no sides. I tasted no evidence of CFS, but I did taste some sausage gravy. It was a generously sized burrito. I will also add that their salsas go from NO heat (fresca) to super heat. Nothing in the middle. And one of the hot salsas was just yuck. (The one with all the pepper flakes in it.) The other tasted OK. They had carrots & jalapeños at the salsa bar, but tiny cups to put them in, so... Anyway... I like the surf and turf here, but everything else just seems meh. In a town with so much good Mexican food, I'll go elsewhere. The drive-through around the corner would have been cheaper and tastier.

You order at the Bar counter for your Brew & for the tacos. The food is made at their permanent fixture food truck outside. The tacos are amazing and generously portioned. The Birria was my favorite! Carne asada was good too. The staffers are nice and ready to serve. There is high communal and individual table top seating inside and sports playing on the TV. Picnic Bench tables out on the front patio are & close to the food truck. It's pretty busy but worth the little wait for your tacos to be done. So sip sip while you wait for the buzzer to go off! Looking forward to our next visits here.

The workers there were super friendly and chill and when asking about their in house beers they were not hesitant to see what you like and give you a beverage to the best of your liking! The lighting inside is just right for day or night as it allows natural lighting in during the day with the garage door style windows and when it's night time the interior lights are not over powering to brighten up the place! If you all have not tried the "local motion" i HIGHLY recommend it if you like a great IPA! If you are looking for a great place with good vibes and a perfect place to kick back to eat tacos and have a beer or two i definitely recommend craft coast in San Marcos!
