We went to Carlotta Brunch for the first time and really loved both the delicious food and the friendly vibe! We went on a Sunday around noon and while it was busy, it wasn't overly busy so we didn't have to wait to find a nice table. You order at the counter and then they bring you your meal. One of the co-owners, Myra, took our order and was incredibly nice. She told us that they make all their food fresh, and they make a special, fresh hot sauce for those who love spicy! The menu features plenty of unique spins on classics, which we really enjoyed. We had the Croque Madame Mex (so delicious with a bit of a hot/spicy kick to it), the Benedict Toast, and orange juice. Everything was very yummy! The restaurant's vibe is very friendly and welcoming. We definitely plan to go back to Carlotta Brunch soon for another meal. Myra (co-owner) told us that every table has electrical outlets so people are welcome to bring their laptops to work and hang out there. Their house dessert is called "Carlotta" and it is sort of like a Tiramisu. We brought a lemon Carlota home to enjoy later. I am rooting for this little gem of a restaurant, which is owned by two women, to be a mainstay in the neighborhood. (It is located near Stagecoach Park in Carlsbad)

Excelente lugar! Todo riquísimo, atención de primera, instalaciones impecables y hermosas, aire acondicionado. Carta variada, te sirven rápido. Definitivamente voy a volver y recomendar a mis amigos venir! 💖
Our breakfast was okay, but I'm not sure why this place has such high ratings. The huevos rancheros were tasty but nothing special and no better than other restaurants. The potatoes were bland. The chilequlies were supposed to include ricotta, which was missing (without explanation). Worst was the coffee, which tasted like the grounds were reused. Service was okay but, again, nothing special. And the atmosphere was as expected for a restaurant in a strip mall... order and pay at the counter with no ability to be refunded for bad coffee, etc. Prices were high for what we got. We aren't planning on coming back. Although I wish the owners all the best.

Loved visiting this new place! Carlotta Brunch has such a beautiful, modern atmosphere, and the food was just as impressive. The flavors are truly authentic and reminded me of the contemporary brunch restaurants you find in Mexico, but with a modern and elevated presentation.
The chilaquiles were so good, the sauces had tons of flavor, and I loved that the menu has a mix of traditional favorites along with lighter and healthier options. Everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented ,even the desserts!
The space is elegant but still warm and inviting, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Such a great new spot for brunch. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! ✨🇲🇽
