Great food. Live music. High price.
This relaxing spot is perfect for enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Carlsbad with a great atmosphere. The garlic truffle fries, mahi-mahi/chicken tacos, and draft beers are absolute must-tries!
Great food choices. Great lobster bisque and grilled cheese sandwich. Prices in range with many others. Fun atmosphere for lunch. Has entertainment in the evenings. May have to be back for that. Will definitely be back to try other food options. Two others in the party enjoyed their smash burgers. Good service.

Le Papagayo Carlsbad offers a lively music atmosphere with drawings of classic rock artists on the walls. The restaurant has open, large spaces with comfortable seating, live musicians, and a variety of food options from tapas to Mexican and Italian cuisine. Guests can enjoy dishes like short rib egg rolls with birria sauce, lobster/shrimp enchiladas, and wagyu meatball spaghetti. The short rib is particularly tender with scalloped potatoes. The food is always good, and the menu includes favorites like mussels and bread pudding, which have received praise from visitors. The staff, including servers like Ari, are friendly, energetic, and helpful, making recommendations and checking on guests regularly. The lively atmosphere, with a good live band playing nice tunes, creates an entertaining environment, although it can be quite loud at times, making conversation difficult. Despite some long wait times on busy nights, many guests enjoy the excellent food, good drinks, and fun ambiance that Le Papagayo has to offer.
