Carcara is a restaurant located at the corner of 3rd St and Van Buren, featuring a large patio and indoor bar and dining areas. The atmosphere is pleasant, with friendly staff and a wide range of delicious dishes, including the organic chicken meal and NY strip steak. The restaurant also offers a beautiful dessert selection and accessible entrance. Customers praise the great aesthetics, food presentation, and overall atmosphere of the place. The Buffalo cauliflower and beef tacos are particularly well-received, with the food being cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Caesar salad with chicken and the chocolate mousse dessert are highlighted as standout items. Recently, customers experienced melt-in-your-mouth perfection with the short ribs with Yukon puréed potatoes and pistachio sauce. The hummus and guac were fresh and delicious, with the hummus having a nice texture and citrus flavors, and the guac dip mixed with fresh bits of herbs and diced jicama for crunch. The lemon raspberry cheesecake was light and refreshing. The ambiance was nice with decent lighting and low noise levels. The carrot-based soup was fantastic, and the Mole Verde Risotto had good flavor. Service was good and quick, and food delivery was prompt. However, some customers have experienced long wait times for their food, especially during busier periods, and there have been issues with the availability and communication of special occasion menus. Some seating, specifically booth style seating, was noted as being too low, making it uncomfortable for diners.
Recently, visitors enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, describing it as an incredible experience with thoughtfully prepared, flavorful dishes, and a warm, romantic atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly, making guests feel well cared for. Drinks, including cocktails and coffee, were praised as creative and well-crafted, perfect for a special night out. Despite the positive experience, some mention that the patio can be noisy due to traffic and occasional harassment from homeless persons, suggesting that sitting indoors might be better for those concerned about disturbances. Overall, Carcara remains a great place for a nice dinner or drinks, offering a cozy and inviting environment.
