This place is old and beat up and serves some of the very best Mexican food in Phoenix. Don’t be put off by the appearance. Come during lunch hours and this place is packed with police, firefighters, and blue and white collar types. They are known for their Machaca and it’s delicious! I’m particular to the green and I like to add potatoes to my burritos and get it chimichanga and enchilada style-deep fried, smothered in red enchilada sauce, and topped with guac and sour cream. It’ll feed two people and it’s amazing. Chips and guac is another of our favorites here. Guac is very fresh and tasty here! Hard tacos, chicken or beef are also a must. I haven’t had anything here I wouldn’t get again. They are also well known for their flour tortillas. You will see people coming in just to order stacks of tortillas to go. You can’t go wrong ordering a hot buttered tortilla to go with your meal either. Carolinas truly is a Phoenix icon. If you’ve never been here and you live or visiting the Phoenix area, you owe it to yourself to try this classic Phoenix, Mexican eatery.

Very disturbing and sick. You would think they’ll fix up the place, since they charge more. I really want to share these pictures so people can know how nasty this place really is. These pictures were takin on separate visits. Twice in 1 month my aunt found this inside her burritos and they didn’t even refund her money. I hope everyone checks their food b4 they eat anywhere. If you dont you should start!

Legit. ‘Good for the soul’ level Mexican food. My neighbor in Nashville had moved from PHX and recommended this place… otherwise we never would have ended up there, but so very glad we did.

We were passing through the area, on the way back to S Florida. I wish we lived closer, the food was off the hook! Reminds me of Miami. People remember, a little grit is good for the soul!!! Thanks for the great food!

This place was hopping when we got there. It’s one of those hole-in-the-wall locations but because we heard so much about it, our entire group decided to go there for lunch.
