Carlitos Mexican Food Reviews
I love this place!! I’m not usually in NKC but when I am I stop by Carlitos Mexican restaurant. It’s the best Ma & Pa Tex Mex north’s of the river and maybe even in KC.
Stopped in on recommendation about their taco shells, long time LA Tiara fan and going through withdrawals since they closed. Tried the Carlitos nachos- amazing, fried taco and he ordered 6 tacos- amazing. We live 60 miles east and already planning another visit. And your taco shells- bought 2 dozen!! Talked to your son and he is so proud of this place. Definitely making this a lunch spot when I come into the city for once a month grocery shopping.
Stopped in today and tried the fried tacos with parmesan cheese on them, they were absolutely amazing!!! The service was quick and workers were very friendly. Place was clean with enough seating and high chairs available. Not to mention, they got the best sweet tea around. Highly recommend stopping in and trying out Carlitos!!
