Definitely a excellent place for food. Excellent customer service, hot fresh food, and a wonderful atmosphere. I wish every town had one or two. Would highly recommend to pay a visit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they have tables for wheelchairs, and it is wheelchair accessible.

The only pleasant employee was the busser. The girl who sat us was not rude, but Definitely not friendly. She said here and walked away. The waiter seemed like we were bothering him.Never asked us for refills, If we needed something we definitely had to ask he wasn't checking on us.

Carlos O'Brien's is a great neighborhood restaurant with a lot of Mexican and Irish pub fare on the menu. The service was quick and friendly, even on a busy Saturday night. The restaurant is spacious with a lot of tables available. The food is decent with healthy portions and reasonable prices. There is a lot of variety to choose from.
