Pj B's Rio Cafe - Carlsbad

I guess I caught them on a bad day. Usually food and service is excellent but today was a big disappointment. I bought a French toast breakfast and asked for an extra slice of sausage. No extra sausage was included. When I said NO potatoes. That meant for the whole order but apparently I should have been specific on my burrito. I ordered a sausage , egg and cheese extra cheese) burrito. I got a potato burrito large chunks of potato filled my burrito, a little sausage , NO egg whatsoever and very little cheese. Ate the sausage out of it and threw the rest away. I know they can do better so won't give up with one bad order. I do deserve a refund for sure on the burrito.

I went all the way across town because of the reviews for the asado plate (from recent reviews) I was disappointed because the asado was like shredded BBQ with no red chili taste and the rice was hard. I ate the beans (which were too salty) and tortilla because I had limited time and I was hungry. I threw the rest away. I do have to say that I have eaten this same dish from here before and it was amazing.

Y'all, if you have not eaten here you are missing out big time. Great service, great food and the atmosphere is that of an old train station. Set in the pecos River village with views of the pecos River outside the window. Prices are very decent for the amount and quality of food you get. One of my new favorite places for sure. Come check them out!PS: you have a gem of an employee with Brandie, give that woman a raise!

By far the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time! This my second time going this week and I might go again before I leave town. Excellent service and the food is phenomenal! I’m not from around here so this was definitely a hidden gem for me!

Amazing food, huge portions, worked with my daughter's allergies which are vast to be sure she was safe. Delicious food. Wish they were local to where we were visiting from. The only thing I didn't like was it was hard to find. Well worth the hunt.Food: 5/5
