Was charged 8.27% tax. The specific fast food tax is exactly 7.4%. I ordered a Texas double whopper for $10.19. Just the burger i paid $11.03. A difference of $ .84 cents=8.27% tax. No telling how long folks have been getting robbed. A few months back i paid around $13.50 for the same burger, which is what got me thinking since I had almost a 30 min wait! So I googled it and here's the outcome.
The total combined tax rate for prepared meals, such as those sold at Burger King, in Carlsbad, New Mexico, is 7.4%. This rate is a combination of state, county, and city taxes. The breakdown of the tax rate is as follows: New Mexico State Tax (Gross Receipts Tax): 4.88% Carlsbad City Tax: 2.52% Eddy County Tax: 0.00% District/Special Tax: 0.00% Prepared meals from restaurants are generally taxable in New Mexico, while most grocery items are exempt. Businesses operating in the state are required to register with the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. It may be a very small amount to everyone. But after shopping in carlsbad for going on 8 years not knowing and not having time to even think about it for the most part, all that money adds up. The locals arent even aware. I mentioned it to the person at the window and it certainly opened his eyes when I showed him the googled proof. I still paid the extra tax since I was hungry. Not much of a Christmas dinner,lol. Anyway. Thought people should know that burger king owner is a crook. Enjoy your meal! Yall are getting robbed folks!

Stopped for breakfast. Both of our croissants were tasty and fresh. The service was fast and the young lady at the register was very polite and kind.
The service was so good by Nicole. I had to write a review place was clean. Food was great, thanks Burger King.

Unclean, flies everywhere even on the food. Theres also a chubby blonde hair dude with glasses and wearing a gold chain working the register inside. He needs to lose the attitude also. Everyone from the drive through is getting refunds. We’ve been here for almost an hour now and they told me they accidentally threw away my order. Photo of chubby rude guy included.

10/4/25 — 45 min waiting in line behind 2 cars who most likely been there forever, who knows how much more longer, that was too much patience to even wait that long. Horrible service., had to leave line with many others. You can get faster food in a dine in restaurant.
U got to be kidding me Burger King Carlsbad. Been waiting in line over an hour. Few months back was better what happened. Expensive food and even more a waste of time get it together.

Altogether bad experience, took a long time to get my food and there was really nobody there. I ordered a meal and did not get the side. And I was passing through the town so I could not go back. Just all together, they need to pay more attention
