Diane Powers has brought the fun and flair of the original Casa de Bandini to the Forum Shopping Center in Carlsbad, California. Formerly located on Old town San Diego, this second generation Casa de Bandini Mexican Restaurant is the essence of all the best of the Mexican culture; authentic Mexican food, fabulous mariachi entertainment, hot off the grill home made tortillas, giant margaritas and an environment right out of Colonial Mexico.

This beautiful Mexican Restaurant creates the perfect setting for one of San Diego Counties best Mexican Restaurants. The award winning, flavorful mexican cuisine made with the freshest ingredients, paired with our home made salsas using our original regional recipes are all so beautifully presented. Truely memorable dining accented with an extensive selection of specialty margaritas. Over 80 entree selections abound on the menu featuring Mexican Seafood including delicious fish tacos, as well as crispy shrimp and mango tacos, Traditional Combination Plates, Flavorful Mexicana Chicken, Beef and Pork entrees with the most wonderful Carnitas Burrito you have ever tasted. An abundant choice of creative and healthy Mexican salads.

A Mexican Healthy Dining menu, as well as Mexican Vegetarian items and 50 Mexican Gluten-Free choices are featured in Casa de Bandini. Worth the wait, there’s always a fiesta going on in any of the vibrant and colorful dining rooms. Banquet and private party accommodations are available and sure to be a hit while dining under the stars in the magnificent heated patio.
