Wow. Probably one of my new favorite places for breakfast. Was craving Mexican and also diner food and then bam! Great service and community vibe. They even have artwork from local high school kids inside. Stop by or dine in!!

We ended up at Carlitos as a fluke thing and I'm glad we did. Big party, 11 of us, and everyone loved it! The hospitality was great, the food was excellent. We'll be back when we're back in town! 5 stars hands down!

Found this little jewel in HB!
Steak Picado was superb! House Salsa was very good. Chilaquiles were also delicious and the staff was super friendly and nice!
Highly recommended!

I should have never went back 😂 I went today and ordered a shredded beef burrito and when I got home it was a breakfast burrito so sad they suck that bad shame on me for going back to this dump UPDATE because I have to be honest this place has gone down hil I have been going once a week forever and recently has been TERRIBLE today for example I placed a to go order shredded beef burrito and after 35 mins it was ready I got home and it's chicken not shredded beef this is not the first time last time I ordered mendo and got posole I WONT go back the prices are too high service is slow and the lady is a joke it's not worth it if you want it right sit in and eat there deal with hard bench seats no ac and slow service because driving it back is worse then anything they don't care it's terrible Great food great price lovely staff all around Great experience

Was going to support until you supported Gina Clayton. Don Ramon’s and Tio Flacos is where you all need to go when they close.

Had a machaca with egg breakfast burrito and my friend had a breakfast plate which included eggs, pancakes and sausage. Overall my burrito was big but it lacked flavor. Their salsas were a soupy green and a red. Both salsas were plain with no heat. The red salsa was like eating ketchup. People need to remember that it's Mexican food after all even though it's HB. Here they gave no choice. Suggestion: make 3 salsas. Hot, Medium and ketchup like salsa. A restaurant named Caliente on Bolsa Chica had a delicious spicy salsa. They too caved to people who didn't like spicy and changed salsa and ended up closing. Not if was because of salsa.

I have been going to Carlitos for years because it was so good. Today I went and they changed their red salsa to a salty red tomato sauce with no spice/flavor. Owner Carlos said people complained of the spice level? Mistake. It was terrible and ruined the tacos. I will not return. Why he doesn't have 2 choices of red I don't know. I'm done ?
WOW! If you haven’t tried Carlitos Diner for Taco Tuesday ($7.99 for 3 Tacos w/ Beans & Rice), you are missing out! I can’t wait to try other dishes here because it is so close to my house and a family owned business!
I had both Shredded Beef and Chicken. I can’t pick a favorite, they were both so good!
The shell was light and crispy and the Salsas and Habenero Sauce were perfect compliments!
Rice and Beans were delish also. Friendly and clean! And we were served very quickly for lunch

Been meaning to try out Carlito's Diner for a while after hearing from others how good the food and service is. I ordered two Taco combo, and my husband ordered the club sandwich and chicken strips. We dined in, and we're treated with the best hospitality. Chips and salsa were really good. The salsa was so good, I ordered some to take home, My crispy taco's were so good! I got some of the creamy habanero sauce on the side, and it added a nice kick! The dinning room was clean and modern, and comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Plenty of seats, even though it's a small restaurant. Im looking forward to coming back and trying more items. I heard the chicken enchiladas suizas are really good, so those will be next. Oh I forgot to mention that the menu is huge! And breakfast is served all day. Say hi to Martha when you go

The customer service sucks I didn't get the girl's name but clearly she shouldn't work there I ordered two different combos and she only put one order in. Then I had to wait for the second combo never again going to that place.
