Food is probably also delicious, they were well staffed and friendly. Get outside your comfort zone and try this place out!

There was free parking in their private lot. The adorable white and red shop is easily visible from Canal Street in Carlsbad, NM. Each regular cup with one large scoop costed $4. I admitted to our server that I was torn between two flavors and she stated that she could split a regular cup with two kid size scoops for me. Awesome! She didn't tell me that two small scoops was $5.50 but I probably still would've done it. While the flavors were not quite as prevalent as I would have liked, they were enjoyable. We tried: + Superman sherbet (blue raspberry, cherry & vanilla) + Mississippi mud + Coffee + Butter pecan On April 27, 2024, service was friendly & quick to get the line through as the dining area is a bit of a tight squeeze. Perfect way to end our day after a trip to Carlsbad Caverns and before state testing begins at my kids' school. TIPS + samples upon request + cash & plastic accepted Always scream for ice cream!

They have a lot of choices for snacks, including ice cream, Hawaiian shaved ice and snow cones. I'm excited to go back to try the Korean shaved ice or the rolled ice cream. I went with another teacher friend and he offered us coupons for our kids. That is so nice of him. It is in the building next to elevate coffee. You can go in through the front or back way inside a small, but there's plenty of tables to sit in outside. I hope everyone in Carlsbad stops by and gives this place a try.

The taco was crispy and filled with delicious meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. If I hadn't been on the road, I probably would have ordered another one. The portion was generous, and the price was fair too. The service was quick, and the overall dining environment was bright and clean. Definitely a great local recommendation and a spot I'd happily come back to.

We got carnitas, pastor, brisket, steak, and ground beef. (The pastor was my favorite! It came with pineapple. My husband's favorite was the carnitas.) Everything was hot and pretty tasty. The meal came with 4 sauces-- orange (spiciest), watery orange, watery green (my favorite), and the creamy green (least spicy.) After reading some reviews about slow service, I was a little apprehensive about ordering, but my husband went during lunch and said everything came out quickly, there was just a line to order. All in all, I'd definitely eat here again.

The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

And the live music was a nice touch for a Friday night. Service was also excellent, so friendly and on top of their game. I had the shrimp pomodoro dish and really enjoyed it. The shrimp were seasoned so well, and the pasta was al dente. There was also a nice, mild kick from the black pepper, and the fresh parmesan melted into the dish to create cheesy goodness. Maybe a touch heavy on the oil but it was still an excellent meal overall.

I had the 24 Tap BLT, and my wife had the Cobb salad with fried chicken. She enjoyed the salad, and said the fried chicken was quite good. The BLT was mostly bacon, with a leaf of lettuce and a thin slice of tomato; much as I enjoyed the bacon (chewy, not excessively crispy), I also appreciate the contrast with meaty tomato and crisp lettuce, so I found this BLT okay but not great. YMMV. I had onion rings with the BLT, and they were pretty good. Overall a positive experience, and a decent venue for lunch, but room for improvement.

The burgers had no lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing on them. The fries were hard and tasted old too. My kids' Wacky Pack burger looked like it had been sitting there forever with an old dried-out patty. On top of the food being terrible, the customer service was rude from start to finish. We were told they "didn't have ice cream," yet the girl working the window was literally eating ice cream while telling us that. That just made the whole experience even more frustrating and unprofessional. Very disappointing experience, especially spending money to feed a family and getting poor quality food and bad attitudes in return. I would not recommend this location to anyone until they improve their food quality and customer service.
