Carlsbad Tavern

I finally got to try this place for the first yesterday. I've driven by it, but never stopped. I walk up to the front door and noticed the large patio behind this wall, it reminded me of Disneyland. The food is spicy, but I like spicy food so it was all good. I even used my check in from yelp for my free chips and salsa. The other people in my party loved the food as well. I will definitely be going back!

This was our first visit and the food was fabulous but the place is a bit on the older side. I give the food 5 stars but 4 stars for the building. Would we go again? Definitely! The staff is very accommodating and attentive. Food came in a reasonable time period and it wasn't a loud atmosphere but we did eat outside and mosquitoes were a problem.

In town for a wedding we went here for an early dinner. Even though we did not have reservations the hostess found us a table in the bar. She was friendly and fun. Our waiter Kenny was fun, and efficient. Everything we ordered came out quickly and was really tasty. We all were very happy with our food. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food! Amazing service! Don't be intimidated by the menu, the servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing and authentic. Although the majority of the menu is spicy, they have several options for picky eaters and a kids menu with all the basics. The outdoor water features and indoor cavern decor really bring you to another place. Great place for Mexican style food. $$ - $$$

Great food, amazing patio, amazing service! We gathered a group of 16 people for dinner this weekend to celebrate a special birthday. This establishment created a stress free reservation experience and took great care in our group. The owner took the time to visit with me and ask about the food and service which speaks volumes to the exceptional care that makes this restaurant so great! Highly recommend!
