Carlsbad Village is great area for a foodie tour! - Such a great foodie tour! I had no idea Carlsbad was so charming! Ed was a fantastic guide - so knowledgeable about Carlsbad. He really loves this area and it showed. I loved the food at each restaurant. My favorites were Village Kabob and Señor Grubby's. Each place had its own personality. Nice to have a glass of wine, too! And, to cap everything off with a fresh donut - the perfect ending to a fabulous day.
