    Visited Carlsbad and craving Mexican food. This was perfect. Margaritas were so good. Service was perfect. Ambience was warm and inviting.

    Great food at very reasonable prices. Great service. I'll definitely be back when in the area.

    Who needs a half-ass Yelp review when the parking lot is consistently a testament to how good this place is? We came here on 04.23.24, after attempting to have dinner at a local brewery that doesn't serve alcohol. Parking lot space - good luck finding one. This place is always packed to the gills with hard working locals looking for a satisfying meal at a great price. My go-to when in NM - enchiladas, Christmas-style. This place does the unique, and honestly genius move of not only using two salsas on these, but of also using two different cheeses that complement each salsa and flavor profile. Red sauce gets yellow cheese; green sauce - you get the white. Fantastic. Beans and rice also good - but I saved my appetite for the enchiladas. Oh, and the chips and salsa? Superb. Definitely worth a visit. Spread the word or just drive by and check out that parking lot.

    Tasty Mexican spot with classic plates. Came here after visiting the Carlsbad Caverns and we had a delicious meal. I opted for the camarones a la plancha while my friend got the adobo pork plate. The shrimp was grilled to perfection and went well with the sautéed onions and green bell peppers. There was a small side salad with avocado slices on the side with the rice and beans. Complimentary salsa and chips were provided. There is a small cash discount but credit cards are accepted. Parking is available. Service was friendly but very slow. It's good for families. The vibes are casual. Overall, a good place to have a reasonably priced, filling meal.

    Great spot for tasty Mexican food! The place was pretty crowded for dinner time and seemed like a local favorite. Service was friendly but a little slow. I got the adobo plate with corn tortillas and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The red sauce was pretty good, and everything was well seasoned. I liked that the vegetables that the plate came with was really fresh. Big portion as well. Parking out front and bathroom available.

    Amazing chips and salsa to start dinner. Waitress was quick to help and get our order. Food was amazing for a great price and big portions. This place was so good we went two nights in a row! Authentic feel.

    A colorful menu withe abundant options.

    The food here is very good. There are tons of options. My husband and I both cleaned our plates.. Portions are perfect, service was timely and friendly. Ambiance is casual, festive, and relaxed. We recommend Taqueria Jalisco as a very good value.

    Good food and a wide selection. Guac was good, salsa for chips was hot, and Margaritas were refreshing.

    Carniceria San Juan De Los Lagos - Carnitas Tacos ($8)

    Carniceria San Juan De Los Lagos

    4.4(448 reviews)

    Carniceria San Juan de Los Lagos in Carlsbad, NM has to be some of the best Mexican food I've ever…read morehad! I usually have a rule when traveling that I don't visit the same restaurant more than once, but this place was the exception. I came back three times in two days. Yes, it was that good. Sadly, the third time I came back, they were closed. The food tasted very authentic and absolutely worth the visit. I noticed some reviews mentioned communication issues or that the staff may not speak much English. I had a little bit of that struggle too, but honestly, that's how you know you might be in the right place for truly authentic Mexican food. I also felt like it was partly my fault for not doing enough research before ordering. But we figured it out, and the food was more than worth it. One small suggestion: it would be helpful if the menu had a little more English explanation, pictures, or item numbers to make ordering easier for both customers and staff. Overall, this is the kind of true hidden gem you hope to find in a small town. I would definitely take a detour to come back here whenever I'm in the area again.

    Carnicería San Juan de los Lagos - Worth the Detour, Even Years Later…read more Some places stay with you. So much so that five years later, on a completely different road trip, you find yourself checking the map and thinking... "we're kind of close." Back in 2021, while exploring nearby national parks, we stumbled across Carnicería San Juan de los Lagos and loved it. This time, on our way to White Sands National Park, we made a small detour to see if it still held up. First surprise... I barely recognized the area. What used to feel like the middle of nowhere has filled in. Suburban life has arrived. Growth happened. But the place? Still there. Still good. Inside, it keeps that same warm, easy charm. Cute wood, farm-style Mexican decor, nothing fancy, just welcoming. The space has grown too, now clearly divided into restaurant, carnicería, and panadería, which means more reasons to linger. And the smell when you walk in? That alone could convince you to stay. Service was just as we remembered, sweet, friendly, and genuine. The kind that makes you feel like a regular even if you've been gone for five years. We went with pozole and shrimp tacos, and both delivered. Flavorful, comforting, exactly what we were hoping for. It's always a bit of a gamble revisiting a place you loved years ago. This one paid off. Still a favorite. Still worth the stop.
