Carlsbad Tavern

Frommer's Review

Carlsbad Tavern blends the fiery tastes of New Mexican cuisine with a hip and humorous bat-theme atmosphere (a reference to Carlsbad Caverns). The menu lists traditional New Mexican dishes such as carne adovada (pork simmered in a fiery red-chile sauce), as well as contemporary Southwestern specialties such as poblano chiles stuffed with crab and pasta with an unusual chipotle stroganoff. Cool off your taste buds with a prickly-pear margarita. A lagoon makes this place feel like a beach bar, while the patio fireplace is cozy on a cold night.
