Pleasantly surprised ! My husband & I stopped in after strolling the village, and I'm always down for chips and salsa, so we stopped in on Fathers Day. We were seated right away & we shared the Nachos with Carne Asada. Ummm is your carne asada always that good ?! It was tender, full of the flavor you want from bomb carne asada, pico de gallo was fresh & declious and the refried beans were pretty darn good too ! Chips & Salsa also super good ! Server was attentive & kind ! Owner was actively helping guests too. We'll be back !

Great service, the owner and staff are nice and welcoming. The resturant is open and has plenty of seating (can accommodate large groups). Food was just okay. All of our dishes were very bland. The chips were warm but the salsa tastes more like enchilada sauce than authentic salsa. Margaritas were watered down. I enjoyed the live Caribbean music.The main item that stood out was my taco shell (it appeared to be homemade with a light crisp). fyi:*the bathrooms were clean*street parking in front *prepaid parking in back (you can enter restaurant from back parking lot*valet parking nearby*resturant within walking distance from beach

We stopped in to have a few HH items. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts anything fried is usually pretty good. These were just ok and the portion size was on the small side. We also tried the steak nachos. If you love beans and cheese, you will enjoy the nachos. Sadly, not much steak on the nachos. The pieces of steak we did get tasted like pieces of trimmings that were small and overcooked. The portion size of the nachos was big, just not much steak. Overall, just ok for me. I'm not racing back.

Their Ceviche is spectacular. The Birria Flautas recommended by Angel were outstanding. Excellent sauces and salsa. Cool music too!Tio Ernie has real local gem for Carlsbad!

The waitress who helped us was very kind and welcoming. Since it was hot, we asked to move and she accommodated our request. The food was delicious and served fast. We cant wait to visit again.

We stopped for a quick bite and ordered the carne asada torta to share with guacamole and chips. Best torta I've ever had. Meat was tender and the bun was soft and buttery. Delicious!! Service was great and refilled our waters often. Guac was good and the hot sauces were solid. Fun place. Definitely will be back soon!

Ohhhhh how i wanted to like this place. We loved coming here when it was Los Olas- was hoping it would be the same- it wasn't. Food was alright. Not great, not bad. Service wasn't very good. The hostess actually had to come take our order because our waitress never came by, but i guess there was a big party she had. DO NOT, and i repeat DO NOT come on a Thursday- Karaoke takes place and it is horrible. Not necessarily the singing but having it blasts throughout the restaurant and not just the bar. Will find some other place to go to when wanting Mexican food.

Their tacos are really good and so is the service. The outside seating is nice and it's near the beach. Lots of things to do around the area.

Went to this spot after a nice walk in Carlsbad! We were seated quickly on the patio. Chips were fresh and warm. Salsa was good and fresh. We ordered the nachos and ceviche. Both were great! The steak on the nachos was so tender and flavorful! The ceviche was serviced with an odd sauce that I wasn't a fan of, I wish it was more of a citrus based sauce. The nachos were definitely the star of the show and I'd order them again! I'd come here and see what else they have to offer.

I own a Mexican restaurant in AZ and I was incredibly impressed with how well the food was at Tortilla Mia. All of the sauces had the right amount of spices and flavoring for a very authentic experience. The tortillas were freshly made as were the chips and salsa. The Margarita was strong and of good quality, fresh lime juice and a premium blanco tequilla. I was so impressed with the food, I tipped my server extra and asked him to tip the cooks in the back. The beef fajitas were the best I have ever had!
