Are you dying for the old school nostalgia of a drive-in? We’ve got an off-the-radar Carlsbad joint that does burgers, nachos, catfish, tacos, and burritos like you wouldn’t believe. 

Becky’s Drive-In was established in 1955 and is a Carlsbad institution. When you pull into Becky’s Drive-In, a friendly carhop is ready to greet you and take your order. You’ll really feel like you’re in a small town.

If you love greasy spoon faire, this is the spot. The meat comes from a local, family-owned butcher shop in Carlsbad, Lakeside Meats. How rad is that?!

Burgers are on lock, of course, but also french fries are just $3! Or they come in a half order if you are wanting a smaller indulgence. Speaking of fried food, also on the menu are fried pickles, zucchini sticks, green beans, and more.

The Mexican food in particular is on point. The meatflip will save you from trying to pronounce “quesadilla.” And they do not skimp on the quarter pound of fresh beef or green chiles! Just remember that Becky’s Drive-In is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
