The Original Carolina's Mexican Food has been a classic spot for delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine for over three decades. While the simple decor may not impress, the flavors of their dishes are undoubtedly top-notch. The menu offers a variety of options, including hardshell tacos and burritos done enchilada style, which are both flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant accommodates different dining preferences, with a split floor plan for those dining in or taking food to go. The tortillas are a standout feature, often praised for their freshness and flavor. Menu highlights include breakfast burritos such as Chorizo & Egg, Machaca & Egg, and Chorizo with Beans, as well as lunch and dinner options like Bean & Cheese Burros, Red Machaca, and Green Chile Burros. The tamales, filled with diced beef and red sauce, smoked green chilies and cheese, or shredded chicken with green sauce and jalapeños, are also popular. Deep-fried chimichangas filled with choice of meat and served with guacamole and sour cream are favorites among customers. Despite some occasional maintenance issues, the overall food quality makes it a worthwhile dining experience for families and anyone seeking authentic Mexican flavors. The tortillas, known for their freshness, enhance every meal and add to the restaurant’s reputation as an old school, yet delicious, authentic place.
