Tacos Chato, Carlsbad CA

This is my favorite place. I work nearby and have turned all my coworkers onto thier al pastor tacos. Food is always delicious, thier al pastor tacos are the things dreams are made of! And the staff is always friendly, even when the place is packed with a line out the door. Juan especially is always friendly and courteous. Tacos Chato is an A+ all around!

Walked in and took them 10 while minutes to notice me and restaurant was empty and I was first to order and the other customers that came after me got there food first don't eat here this place sucks

Had a chicken burrito for lunch and meat was very chewy. Went back a few days later for dinner and it was closed by 7: 30 despite posted hours being 8pm. Unreliable schedule.

Burritos and tacos are delicious. Ordering and prep is easy and timely. Taco Chato is a lunch sample whenever my family is in town.

This turned out to be a nice find. We were heading back from the beach and searching for food on the way home. We found a pizza place but when we pulled into the shopping center we noticed this place. The pizza place looked a little fancy for us so we came here instead. Man are we happy we did. It has the feel of a authentic Mexican place and we love that. The staff was friendly and they made the food quick. I had rolled potato tacos for the first time because I have never seen that on a menu before and they were GREAT. My Wife had a shrimp burrito that was huge and really good too. If your in the area I would highly recommend this place.

Use to come here a lot, spent 1,000s upon 1,000s. The punk with the hoop earrings today 3/11/23. I Had a 50.00 order ask for a water he said he didn’t wana serve me a water, “said they don’t have too “. Per policy. I thought that was crazy. I said then I don’t want your food.he said that’s fine. What a clown. As a business owner of big construction company…. That’s not customer service. Went up the the street to el Pueblo. Amazing and free water. That dude is a punk. Hit me up buddy. Clown boy.

Was a huge fan of this place I used to eat here every day or close to it, Loved the fish tacos and El Pastor! Today. I brought my brother to show him the great food but unfortunately when I asked for 2 cups of water. The gentleman said they do not give water as I’m staring right at the water cups about to pay for a $50.00 dinner. I think that it’s absurd and ridiculous customer service. I said I will just go eat up the street at El Pueblo. He said “that’s fine” like the punk he is.so I took my business there and it was amazing and had free water and all the sides you want. It’s very unfortunate because I love this place and ate here so much and bragged about it to everyone, but I will never be bringing anyone here or coming here again after what service I was treated with today… so next time LiL AMIGO with the hoop earrings who thinks he’s tuff man. Just remember what effect this is going to have on your business or your bosses business.because a real business owner would’ve simply given the 2 cups of water that cost probably about. 10cents if that.will now Cost you a life time customer and more to come. Screw this place

This place is horrible… as a business owner myself. I used to come here every day and get food for me and my guys! Spent a lot of money here, was my favorite spot. Today 3/11/23. I went to show my brother the Great food. I ordered about 50-60 bucks worth of food. I asked the guy if we can have 2 cups of water. He says they don’t give water there. I said since when, he said about three weeks ago, I said that’s pretty crazy to not give your good paying customers water. He said it’s policy, it was the gentleman with the hoop or the stud earrings. I never really ever seen him before. But he is a punk and needs to learn a lesson about customer service in life. Treating people who bring a lot of business to a place like this and treating us like peasants isn’t how you’re gonna get ahead in life buddy. Once again. The tuff guy with the earrings.

Had a big ole breakfast burrito but the bacon I had to pull out and spit out a lot. It was chewy and disappointing. Flavor was a little above average but about 15 bucks you expect more.

Chicken taquitos. Not what I was expecting. Chicken was outside of taquitos. Stuffed with potato. Maybe they are from a different Mexico lol.
Guacamole was

Eh…not up to San Diego quality standards. Al Pastor burrito was so greasy I had to poke a hole in the bottom just to drain it. Grease everywhere.

I went in yesterday for breakfast burritos. They were terrific! The guy at the counter was super friendly and offered great hospitality. I’ll definitely be going back.
