Yellow Brix
Yellow Brix Restaurant
Southwestern restaurant in a 1928 house in downtown Carlsbad, best known for its green chile dishes.
The building is a yellow-brick house constructed in 1928 by a clothing merchant. It opened as a café in 2011 and became a full-service restaurant the following year, with every dish made in-house. The most popular dishes are green chile cream fettuccine, green chile cheeseburger, and green chile posole. Breakfast includes Christmas-style eggs (red and green chile sauce) and the Brix burrito. There is a patio, and pets are allowed. Lunch costs about US$15–25 per person, and dinner is a bit more. Located on Canal Street, the National Parks Highway, in the downtown stretch, it is convenient before or after visiting the caves.
