Norte Mexican Food & Cocktails

Would definitely visit again! Food was delicious- however, I would add more seasoning, like some cilantro, for example, to the steak burrito. Our server was very sweet and the melon margarita was well made.

We were staying in the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, so you couldn't get a closer location for us. If seated outside, it's a really nice setting, with patio heaters if needed. The food was OK, but nothing that exciting. The house margarita was a real disappointment with no taste of tequila, probably the worst margarita of our holiday.

I’ve been coming here my whole life but the last 4 times have been really disappointing. I had four margaritas at happy hour and I’m leaving stone cold sober. I’m not sure there’s any tequila in them at all. There are better options in the area and that’s what I’ll be choosing next time.

Awesome awesome awesome. We had a wonderful party here with about 40 friends with taco bar and happy hour. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! I love this place.

I had an early dinner today, while staying at the Carlsbad Inn. Jose Garcia was my server and bartender, and he made an absolutely delicious Patron Margarita for me. The chips and salsa were nothing spectacular, but the chips were warm, and with the salsa, they were satisfying. I had the beef chimichanga, which was quite delicious. The prices are very reasonable, with the patron margarita at $18 and the chimichanga at $17. I would definitely and highly recommend this restaurant.

I felt compelled to write this PSA after my most recent visit to Norte. The food tastes fine but the service needs some work, to be certain! I asked our waitress if they serve Cherry Coke and she said yes. What I got was actually a regular Coke with some kind of chemically-tasting syrup added. Then I asked her to leave the bell peppers off of my carne asada burrito so she took that to mean 'no vegetables at all". What I received was a tiny little burrito with literally just meat, no salsa, guacamole, rice, beans....NOTHING! The burrito was roughly the size of those frozen bean and cheese burritos from the grocery store and definitely not worth the nearly $12 I was charged for it. I would suggest trying the little fish taco stand around the corner instead. It's a much better value proposition and the people are a little friendlier.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere and the service was prompt and friendly. Unfortunately the food was so bland and just poor quality we couldn’t finish it. The burrito had nothing but plain chicken in it. It was really dry. The sauce was unrecognizable - maybe tomato soup? Not sure. The guacamole seemed like it had been frozen - didn’t seem fresh. There was an off ‘old oil’ taste to the rice. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen - maybe it was a bad day for them.

It was a cool location. The tood had good flavor. The service was very poor. Which plays a big role. The server had a lot of attitude especially when she got a few of our orders wrong. Also, we asked for fries for one of our kids and it came with old eaten food on the plate. Pretty sure they just reheated someone else’s fries and gave it to us. Although location was great we probably won’t be coming back here.

Norte is a nice restaurant with an atmosphere that stands out. The space is very clean, the upbeat music creates a great energy, and the Mexican décor is modern, colorful, and thoughtfully done. We came in with our family of six after hearing several local recommendations. The meal started off strong with fresh chips and salsa that were full of flavor, an easy 9/10. The side of guacamole was also excellent, fresh and well seasoned. When it came to the food, the flautas were good but not memorable, about a 7/10. The torta de asada was flavorful and filling, earning an 7/10. The kids were happy with their burger and fries, which were a 6/10, and the bean and cheese burrito ended up being the surprise favorite at the table with a perfect 10/10. The buss boys were outstanding and made us feel well taken care of. They were polite, attentive, and genuinely kind, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, our waitress and waiter seemed inconvenienced by having to take our order, serving the food and that created an unwelcoming feeling that was hard to ignore. While there were things to like about Norte, the overall experience felt a bit cold and unwelcoming because of the service. For that reason, we would not return, even though the food and atmosphere show a lot of potential.

Seated quickly and politely. We asked to be seated outside by the fire. On a drizzled night it's very warm, romantic, and pleasant. What chips insolsa came almost immediately, and the salsa is definitely a thinner viscosity, and on the mild side. I asked for a side of hot and it looks like pure blended habanero. Don't get too excited though.It is not crazy hot.It definitely takes a handful of chips before the heat starts to build and all of a sudden.Your tongue is zinging, and you're not sure why. But as far as a direct heat and bold flavor he will not get that in this hot salsa. The chips are crisp and warm. I ordered a petron Margarita and it's clean, very tasty. I also ordered the perfect margarita, but asked for a tequila upgrade.It was also very good.I myself prefer skinny margarita, and the mixes.Here are a little on the sugary side I ordered a cyto beans to mix with my salsas, and it was very good. My husband ordered the cheese crisp.It's a flower tortilla with jack cheese on it.Very light, very simple, very plain.And he loved it. You can opt to get it with a pico de guyo on top, but he has a lot of allergies, so doing it plain was just fine for him. We spend about an hour and a half just eating light snacks.And having drinks on the patio, it was a great time and really enjoyed the ambiance. We are staying here so it was an added bonus that we got to take our drinks up to the room with us when we were done eating. We enjoyed our meal and i'm sure that we would be back for more.

Locals love the taco night and the happy hour specials. Came with family during a short vacation. Service was decent for a tacos Tuesday. Nothing special inside just a typical bar and dinning room with a simple mexican menu. Nice spot for those staying in the time share or hotel because it's in the same parking lot. Food could of had more flavor but thats just my pallet.

For a day like this, absolutely beautiful outside today, go to Carlsbad and have very good service, awesome margaritas, cold beer. Chips and salsa. rivals Fidels

We always make a stop at Norte whenever we're in Carlsbad since we stay right next door at the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, it's just too convenient not to. The location couldn't be better, and we especially love their patio area, with the fires going and a great atmosphere for relaxing after a beach day. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. My husband and I each ordered the Perfect Margarita on the rocks with salt. For dinner, my daughter went with the crab enchilada plate and loved it. I ordered a combination plate with one grilled shrimp taco and one fried mahi taco, and it was a lot of food. I ended up taking one taco back to the room and enjoyed it the next day: Honestly, I could have easily shared the plate with my daughter. My husband had the chicken burrito, and his portion was also huge. The rice and beans on all the plates were good. Norte is one of those places that's always good, large portions, great patio, and friendly service. They also have a good happy hour.

Promptly seated at this nice little Mexican restaurant by a friendly hostess who asked if we'd prefer inside or outside seating. We chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. 5/5 stars As soon as we were seated, we had water placed in front of us and ordered drinks. I had an iced tea and my wife had a really great margarita. We had chips and salsa on the table before I could blink. They were both good. 5/5 stars The waiter was very attentive, got our food order in and got me drink refills before I asked. 5/5 stars Food was delicious! I had a combination plate of shredded chicken taco and pork tamale along with refried beans and rice. My wife had the fried mahi mahi fish taco. The taco needed something, added so I used some salsa and my wife said her fish needed to be salted, so she sprinkled a bit on the taco. Food 4.5/5 stars Overall I'm giving 5/5 for this visit and would recommend!!

Food & bar service were great. Felt the prices were a little high, but then again it is California prices.

Food Is great ! And beautiful to be so close to the ocean while dining. The flavor was great and the vibes are great too

Surprised to see the negative reviews, my husband and I ate here twice while we were staying by the coast (we live in San Diego, just a staycation) and had a great experience! It's been a favorite of some family members who recommended it to us. Best enchiladas I've ever had, both the red and green sauces are decadent. They were stuffed with chicken! The fried fish taco was well cooked and huge portion, I just wish it had a bit more spice or flavor in the seasoning or the crema. My husband enjoyed the carne asada tacos and the meat was very tender and flavorful. We also shared a big steak quesadilla and that was great too, it came with rice and beans and we couldn't finish it all. Margs were great too! We had our baby in the stroller and both hostesses helped us pick a table where we could park the stroller out of the way and moved chairs for us. The guys bringing around chips and salsa were friendly and had a good sense of humor, as were our waitresses. The patio is just perfect, casual but beautifully decorated. Parking mau be a little difficult, we had parking at our hotel, but that's true of any place in that area. We'll be back!

"So, if you're travelin' in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine" (Bob Dylan) Norte is the Spanish word for "North". Now I'm not exactly sure what North has to do with this excellent Mexican restaurant, but let's just say this Northerner was very impressed with Norte. Our party of six had a table in their big dining room and had great service from a smiling and very cheerful young guy who took care of our table. I started off with a great Melon Margarita ($13.50) with 1800 BLANCO, Midori liqueur and Norte Margarita mix. I had it blended so it came out as a slushy yummy cocktail that I really enjoyed. Chips and salsa came out next and the chips were fresh and non-greasy, and the salsa was flavorful and mild. Their food menu is massive with traditional plates, specials, combinations, and seemingly every burrito, Carnita, chimichanga, enchilada, fajita, flauta, quesadilla, Machaca, sopa, taco, tamale, torta, and tostada known to mankind. They have a very convenient A la Carte section too, so you can handcraft your own plate, which is where I went. My creation involved a grilled Shrimp Tostada ($10.00) topped with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, green onion and cheese, a pork tamale ($9.95) with red tamale sauce, and an order of Mexican rice ($4). My plate was amazing -what a feast! Outstanding job, Norte.

The food was good but the service was not. I asked for onions, cilantro and limes with my order for my soup and they wanted to charge extra. My bf didn't mind paying but they didn't even know how much to charge us. They ended up giving it to us for free. When I opened the bag to get the limes (which they initially forgot to add) the limes were spoiled. I guess that was their F U to us. Never going back. The manager was being judgmental to my bf. They act like we didn't pay for food.

I would love to give this more stars but it's just average Mexican food. I would come back for the margaritas and chips of course. The food is just so so. I ordered a beef enchilada with green sauce and others had a chicken enchilada with red sauce and different tacos. The quesadilla was nice. I just feel like for the price, the food is very generic and simple. Typically an à la carte enchilada will come with some really nice plating and cheese/sauce on top. This was just a bunch of shredded beef rolled up in a corn tortilla with green sauce drizzled all over it. Very dry. The patio is darling and I highly recommend having happy hour outside or an evening drink by the fire pits. Service was fair. Nothing wrong per se, but the food seems highly priced for what you receive. I think it was $98 for 3 classic margaritas, 2 enchiladas, 2 tacos, and a kids quesadilla. Might be better off doing a combo plate in the future. Feel free to give it a try! Excellent location and it's a staple in the Village.

Wife and I stay in Carlsbad Beach and Resort when we visit Carlsbad. Parking, beach, pool, kids everywhere, its rad. Didn't expect Norte to be so good. Tourists and purists will probably dislike it, but for families, it's legit. Great prices, great nachoes, great quesadillas. Kid friendly stuff. I came in, sat, got a glass of pinot nior and ordered the quesa and nachoes, bartender said 10 mintues I was like cool, I'll go swim with my kids nextdoor, he said cool. I came back, picked it up, and was very pleasently surprised by the quality. Face it folks, it's not a gourmet spot. It's a have fun and grub spot. Kids destroyed their food, so did my wife and I. I think it was like $35 bucks for everything too. Level set your expectations and you will enjoy. Bring the food to the beach, bring the food to the pool, or have a couple ritas, live laugh and love, you will enjoy it.

Anahí is THE BEST! the cocktails and chile relleno were delicious but it s Anahi's attention to detail that made the night. She anticipated our needs and kept our glasses-and our hearts- full! My friend Jeanine intended to eat half, but before she knew it, not a grain of rice remained. Anahi is intelligent behind her years. We will be back and be asking for Anahi!

First time visit.. Sat outside around 6pm. Restaurant was busy and we were sat outside quickly. Numerous firepits/heaters in the patio area. We ordered chicken flautas and beef fajitas. Flautas were excellent and tasty, tortillas were fresh and handmade. My fajitas were good, flour tortillas excellent. First time that fajitas were served just on a plate and not brought sizzling on a metal skillet. Needed more vegetables on the plate but overall tasted good. Service was excellent and sitting outside by the fire pits was great. My only issue is the salsa was a bit bland and blended to the consistency of Tabasco sauce. Would definitely return to this location.. Great customer service and friendly staff.

I grew up eating regularly at the Solana Beach relative to El Norte called Fidel's. It's been several years since I was at this location before. Service-polite and prompt, restaurant was more quiet than I would have expected for a Friday at lunch-probably not a good sign. Plenty of seating both inside and out. Parking, however, is a challenge to find and it took me at least three loops around the block before I could get a space. Menu is pretty similar to Fidel's in Solana Beach. I had the torta with carne asada. Chips came unsalted and were good but there was no salt and the salsa was kinda flat. I found everything pretty average. I think this place has become such an institution it's no longer aspiring to be even good. I chose to go here because I had nostalgic memories about it from the past, but the present did not live up to them and the future-well, it doesn't hold any plans to visit again.

NORTE MEXICAN FOOD and COCKTAIL is a one-and-done kind of restaurant. the business counts heavily on tourists and happy-hour locals, NORTE's only repeat offenders, to keep the doors open. located in the village, a block from the beach, surrounded by hotels, they survive on a steady supply of out-of-towners who haven't eaten here before. with the possible exception of Vallarta Express a few blocks away on Harding, there isn't a sadder stop in coastal North County for Mexican food. locals with even remotely evolved tastes don't eat here unless dragged in under protest, kicking and screaming with excessive levels of hair pulling, teeth gnashing, and threats of physical violence. I went Monday for lunch with the wife's family. okay, to be honest, I skipped most of the hair-pulling drama because the couch is NOT that comfortable but did sulk in a corner, quietly hoping the food was not as awful as I remembered. good strategy, lousy outcome. lunch was, to be kind, as mediocre as I remember. we sat in the bar and I made the tactical error of not having a margarita or three instead of food. bad time to try and choke down a meal sober. if you get suckered into an infrequent visit to Norte, do yourself a favor: sit outside. enjoy the sun on your face and wind in your hair. have a margarita or three. the salsa's not very good but the chips are usually hot and fresh. but for the love of all things sacred, DON'T order any food.

Food overall 4 stars. Good Mexican food. We had the appetizer platter and carne asada burrito with a specific request. Server 1 star. A couple issues here. My burrito did not come out with my specific request. Not the biggest deal but I asked the server to get me one specifically to my request. Then he has the audacity to say I didn't charge you for the new burrito when giving me my check smh. Also, I gave my card to the server early so I wouldn't have to wait, I have kids and try to leave when we are completely done. Server walked by me 3 to 4 times without saying anything about 10-15 minutes since I gave my card. I had to send my kids out with my dad since there was a delay with servicing a simple request like to send to run my card. I had to finally track him down. The whole situation was weird since the server seemed nice from the beginning but seemed more two faced later. Location is great, right next to the beach.

This restaurant has been a staple in my life since I was a young girl. The food is amazing, the ambiance, authenticity, and customer service is always top notch. I love their melty cheese dip appetizer!

Ordered an asada burrito. Flavor was decent, though it did not taste fresh and they didn't do a great job trimming inedible parts of the meat. Not great at following instructions either. Ordered a custom burrito and the first burrito came out wrong. I politely requested they remake it. Second burrito came with meat only somehow. Decided I was too hungry and I just ate it as is but was disappointed. Complimentary chips and salsa are always appreciated. Salsa was good, chips a bit bland.

I enjoyed my meal last week so much that I returned last night. It did not live up to my first visit. The service was good and very attentive. However the food was average, the chips that were served warm last week were this time served cold and stale. The patio was inviting with lots of space heaters.

Norte Mexican is conveniently located next to the Carlsbad Inn Resort. Patrons of the resort and locals enjoy the food and drinks here. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating with heaters if you choose to dine outside. This time around, we choose to have lunch and dine inside. The restaurant ambiance is pretty casual and the bar area has a pretty nice selection of beer on tap. We were seated immediately, and quickly served some freshly fried chips and salsa. We ordered a couple margaritas for drinks - strong and a great compliment to our food. For food I ordered the fajitas with chicken, beef, and shrimp. The fajitas were tasty. My friend ordered a carne asada plate with beans and rice. He enjoyed it but said the meat was a bit dry. This place is a great location to watch the game, get a drink, and just have a nice casual meal.

I really hate to post anything negative but I hope in doing this that something could change. The service was not good. The server was rude.she would walk away while we talked and then came back to say you didn't tell me that.. so we said that we said it while she was walking away and she said yeah that's why. She wasn't attentive and would acknowledge we needed more water then would have to be reminded. But it was more the attitude- it was wild. Also the food wasn't very good... from the salsa, guacamole, dry chicken tacos.. the margarita wasn't blended well ... I don't know what else to say..

We all loved our meals! It was Great food ! Chips and salsa were free - which is not common anymore ! Friendly and attentive service .

I don't know what Carrie was talking about. We just visited Norte, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the San Diego area and it was great. We weren't too hungry so we ordered an appetizer; bean dip with chorizo and it was awesome! Beans were so good, I scooped some up to bring home. We also ordered a carnitas taco. They make some of the best carnitas! The service was great. Friendly and polite.

We had an ok experience at Norte's Mexican Restaurant! My husband ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito since he just wanted a light bite, but somehow it was amazing. We're pretty sure the tortilla was made in-house because it was incredibly tasty and fresh. The chips and salsa they serve when you sit down are outstanding! The salsa tasted fresh and homemade, though I didn't confirm--but it definitely had that authentic, made-from-scratch flavor. I ordered the nachos without meat, and they were so generous that I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The best part? They were still delicious the next day! The only downside is that they no longer offer discounts to Carlsbad Inn guests, which seems odd since the restaurant and its sign are both on the property.

The only good thing I can say about this place is the atmosphere outside is nice. Great atmosphere with a fire pit and growing vines. Our mistake was actually eating here. Our waitress seemed to be here on detention instead of earning a paycheck. The food is below average - out of 4 of us, only 1 person was happy with it. The pollo asada (which is a $4 up charge) tasted like it was boiled instead of grilled. Hard taco was greasy. Tostada didn't have beans. Margarita was warm. Disappointing for sure.

USUALLY best fish tacos.. lunch time might be different then night time.. still love the place.

Ok so, it's not the same inside anymore. The server for dinning inside was already gone and it was 4pm. BUT we sat outside and the service was wonderful. Wasn't too hot out just a nice sunny day and no birds around lol food was yummy and who doesn't love chips & salsa when you sit down. Took mama for lunch n we were so glad to go. Her fav here for decades is the crab burrito. Mine is the flautas. Tasty, Gracias!

Mediocre experience minus the service was good. Food was sub-par for what we ordered. It was not a memorable first experience. Perhaps my wife and I will give it another chance in the future.

Great authentic food with an awesome atmosphere! Service and food were great! Great spot in a great area so close to the beach and all the other spots in Carlsbad

We have been coming here for 30+ years. Never been more disappointed!. In short. Prices up and portions down. Significantly. So sad to not come back here, ever again, until their bottom line clearly matters less than their customers. Sad. Very. Lining up with others clearly leaning into #shrinkflation

Authentic Mexican restaurant design, beautiful restaurant. Food was horrible, got fish taco could bearly find the piece of fish and they had so much white stuff is was disgusting. Chips were greasy. Other people in out party received the wrong food asked for shrimp got a piece of fried fish if that what it was. Have items on the menu that are not available. Everything is fried. Staff was great. We come here every year for vacation. The waiter could not understand what we were asking for. The guacamole was very good and fresh, but everything else was bad We told the staff and their attitude was like yeah whatever. Do better people Will I go back NEVER

Great food, great service, great prices, attentive waiters....85 characters....................................

The last two times I've ordered from here, the Dasher came straight here, under 10 minutes, and both times the food is cold. Not even a little warm. Clearly the food sits for a bit NOT under heat, before it is given to the Dasher. OH, both times the Dasher has been there waiting for the food, so it's not been sitting waiting to be picked up. While the food is pretty good and it's nice getting margaritas delivered to the house, it's not worth getting cold food that has to be reheated.

Place was very busy also extremely loud and noisy Waitress was very sweet Food was ok Not really flavorful and tasty but was fresh Should have reviewed the ratings first But was there and so went ahead and tried it

I love sitting on the outdoor patio in the sunshine. When the sun isn't shining or if it's cold, they have heaters to keep everyone cozy. The fountain in the center of the patio is beautiful and provides a nice ambiance to the area. The Carnitas burrito was a little dry, but just add salsa. They have the best salsa! The chicken tacos were also a little dry. The taco shell was cooked to perfection. The margaritas are fantastic and they have great deals for happy hour. Our server was readily available to provide anything we needed. Free chips and salsa. I like that they have the portable credit card card machine to pay at the table.

By far one of the worst meals I've ever had. Salsa tasted like tomato paste out of a can and microwaved, quac wasn't ripe and had no flavor, and the beef taco's were all time bad. I'm surprised to see others rating 3+. Maybe my family and I caught them on a bad night... doubt it

Food wasn't the best sadly. We were visiting and used to go here years ago, but clearly not what it used to be. On a positive note the waitress was very nice as was the hostess. We left our waitress a good tip because she's not responsible for the food. I will end with this, they really need to make better salsa ASAP as it was so so bad! We spent $200 (we each got one drink) on five people.

This was genuinely the worst food iv ever had. I'm still shocked. Me and my mom never send food back and this time I seriously had to say something. The corn tortillas were dry and tasted spoiled, the shrimp tasted like it was microwaved on a plastic plate, the pico tasted old. I took one bite and very kindly sent it back with concern more than anything. They still charged my bill and was left with nothing but a bad taste in my mouth.

WORST MEXICAN FOOD!!! We ordered tacos, fajitas, burritos and quesadillas and they all tasted terrible. Even the Guava Mama was terrible! Service was terrible! We should have known from the beginning when the hostess handed us all the forks with her thumbs on the tines. Please pick another spot if you want to actually enjoy your food!

Food was mid, service sucks. Staying at the hotel next door and for two hours before they open and two hours before after the open/close the staff blasts their terrible music. The kitchen is essential staff but they shouldn't run the house. They do enough volume to have a head of house and waitresses who want to be there.

The food was okay, the price and portions are good. My little sister has a gluten intolerance and was careful to order only corn based tortillas, but unfortunately halfway through the meal she had to leave. One of her worst gluten reactions ever. We asked the waitress and she said it was likely from cross contamination as the tortillas are all fried in the same oil, but for such a sudden and intense reaction the tortilla had to contain wheat flour. The ambiance on the patio was nice, the service was good, and the food was okay. Either the restaurant added wheat flour to the masa to make a thicker tortilla, or outright mixed up the order. If you or anyone in your party have a gluten intolerance maybe order something where you can see the tortilla to visually verify it is masa.

We ordered the chile relleno. The egg breading was super weird, It was like a marshmallow around the pepper. I loved the chili sauce and beans. Good authentic flavors. The salsa was interesting bring there are no chunks it's almost a thick sauce consistency. Server was quick and back often. The patio was nice with brick everywhere with the contrasting white tables. It felt similar to a design you'd see at Disney.

I had a great time my waitress was absolutely wonderful! I forgot her name but she was very nice. They definitely rely on tourism because the food here absolutely sucks. The price point doesn't match the quality. The modelo was tasty though. We paid the check left our 20% and waved goodbye. On our way out three employees followed us out. The manager was about to stop us till this lady goes ello pagon!!! Ello pagon. = they paid, they paid. I'm assuming people walk out on them a lot? Or a good old fashion case of the racial profile. Who knows. I'll prob be back for the happy hour. 4-6PM.I believe grab my modelo enjoy those stale chips, tip my 20% and call it a day. Do not eat here. You will be disappointed. Definitely drink here the drinks are tasty.

The food was stellar. The salsa is a fantastic mix of spice and smoke, perfectly chipotle. I had a fish taco which was quite good. I also had a perfect margarita which was STRONG. We had a great time. We were a big group and the service was prompt, efficient and friendly. Highly recommend this spot!! They had a big booth for all ten of us which worked perfectly. It's not always easy to get a table for a big group but Norte had it available for us.

A bowl burrito with shrimp was just lettuce, tomato llttle avacado, a few shrimp - tasteless would be a compliment. Also the vegitarian burrito was something that should have stayed in the kitchen, and not been served to us.

Very disappointed. I came in for the daily special, which goes to 3:30pm according to their website, but the waiter showed me the lunch special and said it ended at 3pm. It was 3:10pm. After I ordered alacarte, I looked on the website and saw the daily special ended 3:30pm. I told the waiter the daily special is what I came in for and if I could change my order and he said no. I asked him why he didn't show me the daily special and he said because I asked about the lunch special. I asked about the lunch special because that was the only special listed on the menu. He also said the daily special ended at 3pm when the website stated it ended at 3:30pm. The food was mediocre. Not coming back.

We have always loved the food but have had mediocre service most visits. Tonight we had a fabulous server named Santos. He was friendly, attentive and made the experience so special. He was great!
