This place is awesome! I will warn you that the food is a little spicy, not overly spicy but does have a little heat. But the food was great, I love Hatch chillies and they did not disappoint. Atmosphere was one of the neatest places I've been to. I would recommend this place to anyone not afraid of a little spice in their life!

Beautiful ambience, really warm welcoming place with a great outdoor vibe. Some of the food items were really good like the tortilla soup and the potstickers. We weren’t fans of the fish and chips or the sliders, but the green chili mashed potatoes were also good. Really unique flavor, combinations, and dishes I have not seen offered anywhere else. Service was excellent! The service and atmosphere balanced out the couple of disappointments in the food and made it a 5 star experience for us. If you haven’t been, it is definitely worth going and trying for yourself.

Fantastic experience! Service was quick and super friendly, food was good and a nice price. This place was SO cute too! As an aside, I think the public restroom here is the only one I've ever thought actually smelled *good*. I try to make an effort to leave good reviews when I have a good experience somewhere and man was this a good time!

Carlsbad tavern is a very casual, very comfortable place to go for dinner and drinks. But here's the really strange thing - the food is amazing! You just wouldn't imagine these delicious recipes at a "Tavern." I keep ordering the cowboy meatloaf. I know, meatloaf - no - the flavors and the New Mexico Mexican influence. You'll be shocked at how good it all is. The service is always super friendly and just normal people who enjoy their customers and are proud of their place and food.

Me and my family went here for dinner. My drink - prickly pear margarita was very good. We ordered blue corn enchiladas, vegetarian enchiladas, and pork stew. My fily member definitely recommends the stew out of all of these. Food was decent, but the atmosphere was very nice. Service was okay, and food took 10-15 minutes.
