Reviews for Carlos O'Kelly's in Marion, IA
Been going here for something like 20 years. It has been interesting to see the chain grow and evolve over the years; I think... they've done a pretty good job maintaining familiarity/nostalgia while also updating for the 21st century. You can get quite abit for a reasonable price, and the food is good Read more
I may be biased, have been enjoying Carlos for many years. Always great service. Love the Margaritas and great happy hour. Just... ask if there is something you want, but don't see on the menu. Carlos will make it happen! Please support this localrestaurant! Read more
We had a great waitress. It was her first day. She did excellent. And of course the food is always wonderful. Still I'd call... them second on margaritas. As I still feel Villa patio is number one. But definitely worth going to this place. My friend hadthe chicken quesadilla. She said it was quite excellent. Read more
The wait time was about 15 minutes so we asked to sit at the bar. (We are not drinkers) The bartender was pretty busy with "to... go" orders but she integrated us nicely. I was happily surprised that she gave us serving plates and big spoons for our apps,extra napkins and I didn't have to ask. She was friendly and very on-point. Read more
Unfortunately this was not a great experience at a place we used to have a great time. The margaritas tasted like they had no... alcohol, the service was not the greatest and they didn't get the bill right. Things have gone downhill in the last coupleyears. I hope they can maintain staff that will help them reach peak again. Read more

Waitress was really nice but the food was horrible. Ordered a steak and chicken fajita with onion and red pepper, no sides or... anything else. Came out and was definitely not sizzling like a normal fajita would be but i see the plate and there's hardlyanything on it, no sauce at all and the little bit of chicken was extremely dry. Put it in the to go box and you can see howlittle there was, very disappointed I will not be going back! Read more
I had the pleasure of enjoying a free veterans meal at Carlos O'Kelly's. The moment I walked into the door the experience began.... I believe the manager was seating tables and he was so respectful and kind, like genuinely loves his job kind. The waitress wassweet, the meal was wonderful. It was my first time there and I'll definitely be back. Thanks for the dinner! Read more
