About this business
Carlsbad is a fabulous New Mexican style restaurant that incorporates the best of New Mexico's outstanding culinary traditions. Their newspaper-like-menu includes some authentic Hatch Chili, Chipotle Chili and Blue Corn. The Blue Corn Enchiladas filled with cheese, chicken or shrimp is one of the not-to-be-missed items among the entrees. The Fiesta Rellenos consists of roasted poblano chilies stuffed with sauteed vegetables, mushrooms, onions, feta cheese and even more chilies. But it's not just the food that has the patrons... read more

It had been years since we had visited this location; upon a spur of the moment decision, my husband and I decided to drop in for dinner with our young son. Upon entering, much to my surprise the place looked just about empty; then again it is a Tuesday night. The host greeted us warmly and offered us a booth which we eagerly accepted. Once seated, it was clear that the only positive experience of the visit was the host. We sat for at least ten minutes without being acknowledged. At first we patiently enjoyed one another's c... read more
Not so much for Sunday Brunch... – Our group sat outside in the shade it was perfect, the waiter was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. At first I couldn't understand why there were less than five tables of customers and then on my way to Bloody Mary bar smile at the "Manager" who was rude and turned to walk out of the room. Next our food came and most was good, for some reason every slice of the french toast was COLD and BURNT on one side...how does a restaurant screw up french toast?? And with a Manager who has attitu... read more
Good Happy Hour Deal – This place has excellent food and actually a great happy hour deal. I got a ribeye quesadilla (HUGE!) for only $8 at happy hour. And they're drink specials are great at happy hour too. Google "phoenix on a budget" to find a great review site for local Phoenix happy hour deals
Great Place to Dine – I was just there last night and it was amazing. They just finished remodeling the patio and adding better lighting and water fountains. The food was incredible. I had the Carlsbad Ribeye with a peppercorn sauce and my girlfriend had the Lobster Enchiladas. The pricing was good considering it?s located in Scottsdale. I would highly recommend the patio. With the waterfall the fireplaces it?s the best site in the place. I will be going back soon.
The Once Mighty Have Fallen – In it's original location on Scottsdale Road, this WAS the great, unfound gem of a restaurant in town. The new location was almost as good for a couple of years.....Currently, the food quality has fallen. Only an unknowing tourist or neophyte would accept the fare as "New Mexican" The owners skimp on ingredient quality too......so sad. This was a very authentic, imaginative restaurant once,no longer
Unique dining experience- not for the weak of stomach. – This is a great out of the way place that offers great food at great prices. The outdoor patio area is awesome- a cool waterfall/stream that adds to the experience. Very themed around caves and caverns. The food is plentiful- prices are tiny, and it's totally worth it! I recommend the green chile burrito- yum-o! Let me warn you though, if you don't like spicy food, this place has only a few items, but if your idea is "the hotter the better" then this is the spot! We'd ... read more
Great Southwestern Local Restaurant – It is very easy to avoid traffic on Scottsdale road by using Hayden to go from Tempe to Scottsdale and vice versa. It is even easier to ignore the non-descript buildings, strip malls, and construction that lines the street almost the entire way. However, if you get the opportunity to notice anything, make sure that it is Carlsbad Tavern located on Scottsdale Rd. just south of Osborn. This place has been around forever and it is always surprising that the line is not out the door. I don't... read more
Roswell Reuben is out of this WORLD! – Mom was in town for the holidays and I had the day off so we went to Carlsbad Tavern. I had heard it was a good place and served good New Mexican food. We were greeted at the entrance by a pretty fountain and stream and then ate a wonderful lunch on the outdoor patio. I often judge a restaurant for future visits by the quality of the Reuben sandwich ... seriously ... a good Reuben takes a good chef, good quality meat, bread, and special sauce. Awesome Tortilla soup followed by a delicio... read more
Warm up to this spicy spot for New Mexico-style cooking. – In Short Don't let the name throw you--this isn't a dark, dank hangout for smelly old men drinking beer at noon. Carlsbad Tavern is a neighborhood restaurant famous for spicy New Mexico dishes. Try chorizo-stuffed pork chops or the signature chicken-fried steak served with chili-spiked mashed potatoes. Burgers, salads, pasta dishes and a couple of appetizers should satisfy those who can't take the heat. Don't miss the prickly pear flan.
