Our Guestbook
“ Carnitas Snack Shack is my go-to place whenever I visit San Diego. My favorite foods are the steak burrito and the carnitas tacos. Drinking a few of their great cocktails with the meal makes it even better. The employees are nice and the bartenders are the best. ”
“ This was our first time ordering from Carnitas - we're locals - but it won't be our last. We got the Shack Burger, Spicy Chicken, & Crispy Chicken sandwiches along with garlic fries. The garlic fries were the star of the meal with the spicy chicken sandwich not far behind. The burger and other chicken sandwich were also good. Prices are high but to be expected as it's in a tourist location. Still, very convenient and the service was quick & friendly. Definitely recommend when wanting a quick & convenient bite (and the adjacent bar is a real plus while you wait). : ) ”
“ Super cool vibe. Outdoor bar with TVs. Try friendly bartenders. DJ on the weekends. Good people watching. The nachos are amazing! ”
“ When your cruise ship has an inadequate selection of craft beers, this outdoor bar next to the cruise ship terminal is the closest stop for an easy pint. ”
“ I LOVED CARNITAS SNACK SHACK at the original location near North Park. This location is nice too but this caterers more towards the tourists visiting. ONE STAR: Great, scenic location and great for people watching. I live downtown so walking here makes it nice! Parking isn't too bad if you arrive early and it's all paid parking. ONE STAR: The seating area is available in a cute park like setting or at their square bar. They even have a fire pit area for those cold days and evenings. ONE STAR: Food prices are decent. Of course nothing like before at the original location but again, location fetches higher prices. MINUS ONE STAR: stopped by the read a book and have a beer early Friday and it cost me almost $13!! Yes, tourist/embarcadero prices but it was worth it for the view and relaxation to kick off my weekend! I love their food but haven't had any in ages so can't review. Staff/bartender are nice and fast! Stop by if visiting San Diego or even if you are a local like myself and pretend you are on vacation! ”
“ Little spot right on the boardwalk along the bay. The food here is excellent. I tried the carnitas queso fries, which was . Fried were crispy, carnitas were flavorful and juicy, the queso was excellent, add pico, jalapeños and salads and it's magical. The orders come out fairly quickly and there's nice outdoor seating, def give this place a shot! ”
