My wife and I love ❤ this place! Easy to get to, lots of great Mexican dishes, and not too pricey. Thanks!
Great happy hour menu!! Drinks good & filling dishes.
Carlos O’Brien’s is the best place for traditional Mexican food in Phoenix! It is our Mexican go to place! We typically eat in the bar at the Norterra location and the service is awesome!

Based on the reviews, Carlos O'Brien's Mexican Restaurant and Pub in Happy Valley is a great neighborhood restaurant with a lot of Mexican and Irish pub fare on the menu. The food is consistently good, with hot fresh food, healthy portions, and reasonable prices. The catering services are also excellent, with an easy ordering process and food packaged perfectly for carry out. The large platter with tacos, tamales, fundido, chimis, and a pan of cheese enchilidas, along with chips, salsa, beans, and rice, was delicious. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible with tables for wheelchairs. However, some reviews note that the happy hour is not what it used to be, with dropped hours and fewer options. Service can vary; while some reviewers experienced fast courteous service and excellent customer service, others found the waiter unfriendly and not checking on them. The only pleasant employee mentioned was the busser. Overall, it is an excellent place for food with a lot of variety, and many would recommend a visit.
