Joe, I appreciate your great service and hospitality. The food was delicious and drinks were on point, definitely recommend if anyone is looking for a quick bite and drink for the right price.

I love this place. My family eats here a couple times a month, and while the food isn't perfect 100% of the time, it's always a consistently good flavor and the service and staff are fantastic. The enchiladas with beef or pork are exceptional, and the refried beans and Mexican rice are always good. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Great place to eat, food is always good. Our waiter today was great and very attentive. We had a very enjoyable lunch. We tried the Sampler Combo, plenty of food for two to share.

I took my daughters on a Momma/Daughter Date. We had a wonderful waitress. I wish I could remember her name. She wore a Christmas headband that one of her customers gifted her. She had so much personality and quality customer service.

We went on Saturday evening and it was busy but we were seated right away. The food was delicious. I had Combo #1 and it was delicious, cooked perfectly and plentiful. My partner had fajitas. They were still sizzling and tasty. I had the Long Island Tea and it was delicious but strong. Be careful. Overall it was a good experience.

It had been many years since the last time I was in the area to enjoy eating here. I am happy that the quality was just as good as I remembered. Thanks for the great food and service! I had missed the Nachos Grande!

First off I have to give a huge shout out to the Carlos Crew as they ran a 2/22/22 special on Margaritas tonight and it appeared that everyone in a tri county area decided to go out to eat tonight. So much that they actually reached capacity for the night by 6:30. the staff worked SO hard, everyone was pleasant and helpful even during the pandemonium that was unfolding. Well done! second the food is fabulous. pictured is their signature queso. this is a must have with light and airy chips. Salsa is fresh tasting and so good. I had the Enchilada de Monterey, a pulled chicken stuffed flour tortilla, smothered in pobalano cheese sauce with cilantro lime rice rice and black beans. Stellar! the other dish is Enchilada San Carlos which is 2 enchiladas(pulled chicken) one smothered in a smokey Diablo cream sauce and again the pobalano cream sauce. the Diablo has some heat, lots of mesquite flavor, and is just amazing. try this local favorite

We came here for lunch and enjoyed it! The complimentary chips and salsa were great. The pork belly tacos and the birria chili were special! The sides of spanish rice and refried beans weren’t as good in my opinion. But the service was great and we left with full stomachs!
