Brandon F.May 17, 2016This place is legit regardless of whether the decor is or is not your thing (it's like being in the frigin' Bat Cave). The servers were very accommodating, polite and friendly. Pulled Pork was awesome
They have a prime rib burrito that is to die for (minus the really hot picante sauce). It’s got the meat, fresh onions & mushrooms, it’s just really amazing!! It’s worth the drive to get it!!- Awesome spot! Some of the servers are rude - so request Oscar! They are pretty strict about no substitutions and requests, which sucks. Try the brochettes, filet mignon ques & sandwiches!!
PHOENIX MagazineMarch 4, 2011Stop by for great late-night dining, including a reduced-price bar menu and reverse happy hour. Try the killer carne adovada, spicy crab cakes or New Mexican pot stickers. Great patio.
My new favorite place in town. The owner is a Browns fan so what else do you need. All the food has been great & staff is outstanding.
Carlsbad TavernFebruary 1, 2012Have you tried the new menu items yet? You should. Carl's Chicken Sandwich is off the hook! Red chile marinated chicken breast with jalapeno bacon and jalapeno jack cheese.- Ryan SvobodaJune 16, 2021Excellent food and service. The Habanero Cheese Burger is no joke, but I loved every bite. Highly recommend it for a kick.
if you work in the restaurant industry, weekdays after 10 and weekends after 11 you get a discount on food and drinks. You may also be entered in their monthly restaurant contest.
Richard BrownOctober 15, 2017Happy hour even on the weekends! Had the steak and some shrimp tacos and they were very good.
A.NJune 19, 2015Try the chicken casadias,, you can ask for a salsa sample if you're not sure of your spicy comfort zone
They have Four Peaks beers on draft. The guacamole is awesome. If you are vegan or vegetarian you can order black bean and rice burritos or veggie burritos.
Nixi NicksMay 20, 2011The lobster enchiladas are amazing! If you come after 10pm, though, the raspberry chipotle wings are the best thing on the menu. Try both and you won't regret it!- Roxan TempleSeptember 22, 2015Enchantment platter and Blue Corn Enchiladas, can't get tired enough of these to try something new!
Quynh NJuly 29, 2015Good happy hour prices. Order the brochette. It's a full meal on happy hour price.
Michelle McCunnNovember 19, 2011I live right across the street and finally went, what took me so long?! Had the crab stuffed poblano peppers. Not a spicy dish, but delish! Waitress said it was her fav on the menu, I see why!
Billy BarkerJune 16, 2013Excellente! Try the Machaca or the Blue Corn Enchiladas with Rock Shrimp and Chicken.- SANDRA KLIEBEFebruary 21, 2011Love sitting in the bar, drinking lime margerhitas, watching the people come and go...al smiling...mmmmmmma great place to be...Thank You Carlsbad Team!!
DomApril 14, 2013The New Mexican Mule is a very tasty cocktail! Ginger beer + vodka + raspberry lime
Emily AllenderNovember 24, 2013It might seem weird to get a sandwich at a Mexican food place, but try Carl's Chicken Sandwich -- it's AMAZING!
Shawn PartridgeJanuary 6, 2015They have chips and salsa, but you sometimes have to ask. What's with the waterfall thing outside?
This place is the best! Spice burger, brunch is great and good price! And the late night happy hour menu is tops.
They really know how to treat restaurant industry folk. Kitchen open until 2AM all week. If you're in the industry, be sure to tell them where.
Doug BaerJune 20, 2011The Enchantment Platter is huge -- and a good sampler of their stuff. The Carnegie adovada is really good.
My favorite late night hangout. Great food and even better service.
The chocolate bread pudding and grand marnier flan are outstanding. Try them.
Heather FlanaganJanuary 13, 2012The house salad with blacken chicken is okay the blacken spice taste more like burned but the salad itself,is delicious
Rachelle CMarch 21, 2011Try the shrimp enchilada, chimichanga, filet tacos, green chile Philly ! Awesome chips with two salsa!
Toni Adame 🌻September 5, 2011The snapper tacos are fantastic. The chipotle aoile is not for the faint of heart.
Malina KennellSeptember 18, 2011Definitely have a burger and don't forget the chocolate eruption cake!
the outdoor patio is key!! Delicious food and drinks. Late night menu too!
