Carlsbad Ranch Market Vista

A wonderful place. It's both a food market with fresh produce and some high end groceries and a place to get prepared food. There is a cold salad bar and a hot food bar. The hot food selection changes every day. Tuesdays, when I visited, features Mexican food. Fresh tortillas with beef or pork fillings, cheese and spinach quesadillas, chiles rellenos, refried bean, rice, grilled peppers and grilled squash. Also soup. Both the cold and hot foods are sold by the pound for $9.95 per pound. On days when they grill meat, the meat is sold for $13.95 a pound. There is also a counter where you can order hot sandwiches.I ate there and had a combo of things from both the cold and hot food bars. My very generous plate was around 12 bucks. Everything was so delicious. Some of their prepared salads were especially flavorful and interesting, and great if you don't particularly crave veggies but want something healthy. Bathroom was very clean and the ambiance of the place was pleasant. If I lived nearby I'd be a regular customer.

Not really a Market anymore. Used to have a great selection of hard to find foods but sadly it is just a restaurant. Won't be going there again.

Just picked up some fresh out of the smoker pulled pork bbq. Excellent.

This is a market that that is more a place that has a lot food items, some cooked, on its many menu displays, and not many typical grocery items on the few shelves.
