The Original Carolina's Mexican Food

Carolina’s Mexican Food in Phoenix may have a loyal following, but my experience left me wanting more. While the restaurant has a solid reputation, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. The flavors felt a bit one-dimensional, and the portions were average for the price. If you’re craving a truly standout Mexican meal, I’d definitely recommend Adrian’s #2 instead. The dishes at Adrian’s are packed with authentic flavors, generous portions, and much more attention to detail. It’s a much more satisfying choice for anyone serious about great Mexican food in Phoenix.

Very good and always quick

Food is amazing but the one thing i hate that's the schedule is mess up it says that they're open but once I get there they are close they need to fix that crap

Our family has been going here for years. Always glad when we make it back to the original location.

I don't believe in being rude or crude, but after our experience, this review is straightforward and honest. The most horrible experience with RUDE employees and disgusting food.

This morning my sister ordered two breakfast burritos, one was chorizo, and the other was manchaca. The so-called manchaca burrito had no meat, was soggy and falling apart, and I couldn't find the meat. It had boiled potatoes with eggs and it looked like vomit. (Photo below) This is the photo and since it was falling apart, I split it more to look for meat. I could not eat this, it looked disgusting.
The chorizo burrito looked fine but it didn't taste like chorizo after one bite, my sister couldn't eat it either. Both burritos went to the dogs. The $19.55 price for both disgusting burritos, is a shame that this is what people are getting for the high prices that are being charged, including poor service.
Service:
My sister called the restaurant as soon as we saw the burritos and spoke to a female whose response was exactly, "What do you want me to do about it ". Not only was she rude, and crude, but unprofessional. I will never recommend this place to anyone, and we will never go back. Disgusting food and horrible service!

This place is not it. My boyfriend and I had just landed in Phoenix after a long trip from Ontario. I wanted some delicious Mexican food to start off the trip. I googled what was closed by and thought this place was a sure deal because it had some 4.4 stars. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. I’m not sure if we just didn’t get the right thing or the chef was off that day. Either way it was a fun experience but I wouldn’t ever go there again. And to top it all off it was kinda expensive for what you got.
