Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in San Marcos

Ok, this is not a Michelin star type of place but taken for what it is, my grades reflect it against a gastro pub-like category. On that account, everything is fantastic. Obviously the beers are great and varied but the cuisine, the service (including being able to order via QR code) and value-for-money were far better than expected. Normally I'm not big on ambience in that you can't eat and digest it but in this case, inside and outside absolutely adds to the overall experience and that starts on the walkway from the parking lot.

It’s always a pleasure dining with Family and Friends at Papagayos in Carlsbad. Great food and exceptional service

Horacio is an exceptional server and got all of our special requests correct. It was an evening with live music on the patio so quite busy. Food was good and the ambience was nice on the cold evening.

A bit disappointed. Ordered lasagna, personal fave. It arrived barely hot enough. A[peared that it wasn't cooked to order. because the sauce on top was hotter than the lasagna underneath. So I guess it is precooked in large pans ahead of time, then cut and covered in more sauce. I could have waited till the server came back around to check and sent it back, but decided not to wait and just started eating. It was competent, not memorable.

we celebrated my dads birthday brunch and it was our first time here. everyone was super awesome from the moment we walked in. we were so shocked that the portions were HUGE. i highly recommend sharing. (order the crispy broccoli- it’s so delicious!) the drinks were super yummy too!! my dad loved the breakfast shot and my mom loved ray ray’s coffee cocktail! overall a great experience and can’t wait to go back soon.
