Tasty food, but the tacos are buried in a lot of toppings. The short rib was delicious, but a bit heavy on the cinnamon flavor. Not disappointed by this place, would definitely go for quick tacos and margs.

Food was bomb as hell. Portions are huge and the staff is wonderful. The energy is amazing and the music was ON POINT!!!!! The one thing I wish they did that would put them over the top is heat or plancha the tortillas before serving. Other then that this place is beyond delicious.

Lovely patio seating and ambience, excellent cocktails. The reason I’m giving 3 stars is that the food was sub par. We tried the 3 vegan tacos and they were ok.

The cocktails are fantastic! I love the atmosphere, and the staff are great! The tacos were good, but for my taste, not great. The blackened salmon (which sounded “different”, was just that. I wouldn’t order it again, but worth a try I guess? We ordered three different tacos, and unfortunately, I didn’t think any of them were worth coming back for. I will come back and try other items again. The drinks are worth coming back for, overall it’s a great spot and worth checking out!

It’s National Taco Day on a Tuesday- got to find something. First time here- tacos are big for the price, but nothing great. 3 stars for tacos, but the Tequila and Mezcal selection is fantastic. 5 stars for that. Cut the difference for 4.

Always a great spot for a bite. They also mix up a really great margarita. Our go-to is the skinny spicy margarita, not to save calories, but because it’s really crisp and delicious in the skinny version.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The BEST tacos and always friendly service. A friend turned me on to this place, and I keep coming back. The ambiance is amazing! The drinks are fantastic! Im a huge mezcal drinker and Carlita’s has a nice selection. The pork belly tacos are insane. Great spot to meetup with friends or date night. I highly recommend.
