Delicious food and fun in Carlsbad Village. - Much more than a foodie tour. Our guide Ben gave us background on the restaurants we visited and showed us outdoor art , architecture and Carlsbad history. The group was at the limit and congenial. We had some fun conversations along with the tasty food which included donuts, ravioli, savory crepes, al pastor street tacos and strawberry 🍓 shortcake.
