I really wanted to like Carlitos. We'd visited before and did not love it. But we wanted to give it a second chance. Oh well!... The service was good. Super professional. The outdoor dining was also comfortable. And what a great location for touringState Street. But we did not love the nachos or margaritas. There were way too many black beans in the nachos. And theirflavor was OK. Nothing memorable. The margarita berry/jalapeno margarita was tasty enough but small for the price. There issimply too much great Mexican fare in SB to return to Carlitos.

Awesome place to dine at. I absolutely enjoyed the Chicken Fajitas, salsas, guacamole appetizer, tortillas, mango margarita, and... vegetables. A must try place, I didn't even get to finish all of my fajitas, and they were so delicious. Highly recommended.They have both outdoor and indoor seating available. Parking looked available on-site but we parked across the street. Read more
Love this restaurant! My hubby and I eat here when we're in town. The quality service and yummy food is what we look forward to.... I had the Pozole soup with pork. It was absolutely the best I've ever had. Very flavorable.My husband had the chicken andhalibut tacos. He loved them. The guacamole, fresh tortia chips and handmade corn tortias were the best. Thank you Carlitos forthe awesome service and delicious food! We'll be back again!???? Read more
We came on a Monday night, the patio was full so we decided to eat inside. It was nice, we were the only ones inside. Jose was... our server, he was awesome. My frozen Margarita was STRONG... so he got me a shot of lime juice. I'm a lightweight with drinkingthough. They gave us chips/salsa/and corn/bean dip. We had the steak fajitas and vegetable tostada. We ordered and got within 10min. They were both delicious. I would definitely recommend. Everyone was very pleasant. Read more
Love the atmosphere. Drinks are great and food is a little pricier for Mexican food but it’s worth every penny for the... atmosphere and location. Fajitas are great! Pozole is also amazing. Read more
