- DWDebbie W2 days ago3.0We use to love this place. Not sure what happened was very disappointed. The food just wasn’t as good. I Ordered steak fajitas the steak was just ok, the steak was cut in very wide slices . The seasoning wasn’t that tasty. The tortillas fell apart. The beans were very dry. Service was decent. I don’t think I would go back again.
- JSjenna schenkOct 29, 20251.0Poor service - insufficient food supply The cheese app was not served with enough tortilla & i mentioned it then was offered more tortilla but they never brought it. Ended up not being g able to take home food. Wasted on table because the tortillas never came. I clearly communicated my time frame and having to leave Overall unprofessional and inconsiderate staffing

Musician s playing Nice songs ,Fun and Happy Atmosphere. The Carne Asada and Shrimp plate was very good.

Very generous portions. The chile relleno plate was also very Good. We had a party of 15 and everyone was Very Satisfied with their Food Selections and Service .
- JLJack LazardOct 19, 20255.0Visited the Forum Shops in Carlsbad for the first time and found Casa de Bandini. Used to enjoy this restaurant when it was in Old Town. I was pleased to find it was just as i remembered it. Excellent food, large portions and great service. Will definitely return in the future.
- LMLisa MetcalfeOct 18, 20251.0So I would avoid this location, The Forum in Carlsbad, at all cost. After finishing dinner last week, there were rats running around outside around all the tables. The manager did not seem concerned, said to us that they just come across the street and that was that. It is a shame as the food and wait stuff are really good.
