It is very good in all respects. The service, food, and presentation are high end. The menu has traditional items but also several unique offerings for those who want to be a little more daring.

Probably the best restaurant I have ever been to. But, you are really going to pay for it. It is an amazing experience of service like you have never seen before.

It is always very good and a lot of fun. The place is very loud because of the massive crowds there and the Mariachi band that always seems to be playing. Huge menu of quality Mexican food.

Entertainment & Activities
It is the closest theatre to my home and it has more style and sophistication than other theatres. You will pay more for a movie here. But, it is a little more special.

This is a very popular beach. I actually prefer to go to other beaches like Swami's to the south a mile or two away. Still, this is a good starting point. You can walk for miles in either direction from here if the tide is not high. You can swim, surf, boogie board, or just take it easy.

Parks & Nature
Great place for a nature walk. It is very flat and it meanders between the beautiful Aviara golf course on one side and the Batiquitos Lagoon on the other. There are at least 3 access points. One at the end of Gabbiano Lane off of Batiquitos Dr. and two others directly off of Batiquitos Drive. Great scenery, tons of birds, and aquatic life in the lagoon.

The views here are spectacular. 360 degree view that doesn't require much hiking around at all. You can drive right up to the top and the park is right there.

Shopping
Many of the stores here are a little higher caliber than some of the malls. The outlet center is good, too. But, I like this place most of all because of Casa De Bandini a great and fun Mexican food restaurant.
