“Hubby and I needed a quick place to eat before back to school night in town. This place is absolutely DELICIOUS! We ordered the chicken birria tacos, and the “Al pastor”, and we shared them. The pineapple in the steak and the cilantro and fresh lime to squeeze over was fantastic. The birria sauce was so tasty! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Everything was good. The only complain i have is they give you only 90 min to eat and drink. After that time they just bring the check with out us asking and they refuse to keep serving you. They said they have others reservation and people waiting outside for your table. I think they should let you know when you do the table reservation or when you arrive to the place so you can have that on mind. We Drove 1 hr just to get there with a party of 6 and we were consuming all the time . So basically they kick us out.“

“Recently had my daughters graduation party at Agave. Isaac, the owner was extremely helpful and the staff worked very hard to make sure my party ran smoothly. The food and cocktails were fantastic. We had a party of 50+ with a DJ and had plenty of room dinner and dancing. The party was very affordable! Would definitely recommend!!“

The dishes are made with fresh ingredients and everything is super delicious, from the drinks, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. The staff is friendly and attentive.

“Great food, excellent customer service. Cant complain when you get guac and queso for free :)“

“Small mom and pop and you can tell they care about giving quality and quantity in their food. First place I went to ever where the guac to chip ratio was heavily favoring the guac, and I’m talking dipping 2-3x per chip. The birria tacos were so good as well as their carne burrito. Would strongly recommend stopping by if in the area even just takeout.“

“Great staff. Friendly and very attentive. Definitely recommend.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.

The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.

What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.

Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.“

“Absolutely loved this place definitely a hole in the wall. Be prepared to EAT they do serve heavy, recommend come with an appetite. Prices are fair $40 for a large drink that serves two, Quesabirria that truly serves 2 and tacos de res (beef tacos) that serve 2. Overall ambiance is great makes it feel like home. Overall 10/10

Gracias por todo, muy rico y Espero poder volver pronto“
