    We shared a large Fajitas platter and a margaritas flight. Everything was great.

    We hadn't been for a while to Carlos Cantina. It was delicious as always. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were seated right away. Their chips and salsa are always the best. We ordered enchiladas Verdes and burrito grande. Delicious!. They were very busy but our food came out very fast. But we still had time to enjoy our chips and salsa before the food came out. Nice atmosphere and it appears that they updated the exterior landscaping somewhat. It looks even better. It's more inviting. We enjoyed everything

    Asked the waiter for his suggestion since I am new to the place. He recommended the special. Has chicken steak and shrimp on rice with white queso. The steak was tender as heck, the shrimp were huge and juicy. It was a great suggestion. Next time I go I'm getting something with steak, maybe a burrito.

    The portions are large here and you definitely won't leave hungry! Danny, my server, was very polite. The floors were a mess but I'm guessing it's because it is a kid-friendly restaurant and I came in at the end of lunch service. I have gone here in the past and will go back again.

    Always nice to find an authentic Mexican restaurant while traveling. This place was ok. Not to be negative but- my chips were very stale (even the replacement ones were stale). The soup was really salty. My husband said his food was “ok”…he got a burrito. We didn’t order much food given it was in the middle of the afternoon. The restaurant itself was a little dirty and run down but- it had some cool decorations. All in all- it’s mediocre at best.

    1st time stopping in here and I loved it! I had gotten the chicken enchiladas lemon lime. I would get it again! So many choices that I'd like to try. I will return!

    Excellent as always! Everything I've tried on the menu (and it's alot) has been so delicious and pure authentic Mexican cuisine. They're always busy but they get your food out in a timely manner and always keep you well stocked on chips and salsa. The food is always well worth whatever wait you have. I'll be coming back as much as possible and try everything on the menu at least once. Yum!

    Normally the service is spot on so I'm still giving them a 4 star. This last time our waiter didn't come back after dropping the food off. At all. Been there quite a few times though and that's never been a problem before. We often grab it as take out to enjoy at home too.

    I love trying different Mexican style restaurants. Carlos Cantina did not disappoint! The place had a great vibe even though it appeared to be busier than they expected. We did not wait long to be seated or to get our food. The dish is the Enchiladas Potosinas. Fantastic! A little warm, but not overly hot. I do not like make-you-sweat food. The cheese sauce with the roasted pork and cactus was incredible. A must try if you love cheese Enchiladas and roasted pork! Not to mention the homemade chips and salsa, so yummy:)

    A very good and solid Mexican restaurant that serves you chips and salsa at the very start and has plenty of choices to choose from, I have yet to enjoy everything off the menu but my father and I recently went and what we got was fantastic, I hope to come here again and try something different and hope it to be just as delicious!

    I stopped in after work yesterday to have a late lunch. I got there around 2:40. The waiter took my order. He brought my drink. Another younger kid brought me my food. My waiter never came back not one time to check on me. I was left there and wasn’t asked if I needed another refill or if I wanted or needed anything else. Finally, after about 30 minutes a gentlemen was checking on his table and seen me. He asked, if I wanted to go boxes. He never asked how anything was or anything else either. It was like being giving my food and rushed out the door. The food was great but the service was so disappointing. I have never had that happen to me before anywhere I’ve been to eat.

    Amazing! Sat at the bar were served promptly! Nice environment and positioned right in downtown! Food was so hot and flavorful! Walk to the ice rink and take a hike from the parking lot to see the bats and the over view of the area afterwards!

    Food was so good 👍 I had Tacos AL Pastor, yum yum! The deep fried ice-cream was not what I am accustomed to but it was also good! The waiter was very busy but got to us a few times and we didn't wait long. The atmosphere matched perfect, cute tri leveled restaurant with all the embellishments. Check it out!

    We stopped in while on vacation and couldn't have enjoyed our visit more! Our server was incredible! It was actually very busy and we couldn't tell. He was so on top of things and checked in frequently. The food was delicious and the servings were generous. We will be stopping again whenever we are in the area!

👍👍 This place was simply amazing 🤩. Food was out of this world good. Even the fried food was unique and tasty. I was certain based on the atmosphere it would be basic and simple but I was wrong. Great food! 👍👍

👍👍 You have to try the soups!!! Oh homemade back in the kitchen. All the vegetables diced in house. Dumplings made from scratch. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew a farmer where they got their beef from. Definitely must check out if you’re in the area!!
