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.
