Went there for a birthday party for the first time and everything was spectacular. The bartenders Sofia and Kat really set us up with great drinks and they have a great happy hour special. We sat down for dinner and Juan our waiter was exceptional as was the food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We will try the Northport location next.
The appetizer and skillet were extremely small portions for the amount they charged. Although the main entree was very good. Couldn't take advantage of the tabletop Guac since they said we were outside. Overall it was ok, but won't miss it if I never went back. It definitely isn't authentic Mexican food, I could probably go to Margarita Cafe twice for what they charged. I don't mind paying for good food, but portion sizes on appetizers and skillets were ridiculous.
Haven't been here in about 5 years since we moved out of the area. Was kind of disappointed. Food was good but, dare I say the bus boys were too efficient? Our food came out lightening fast but my friend was literally still eating - fork in hand, chewing and they came and took her food away. Our waiter was MIA but the bus boys were plenty. I don't think I'll make another 40 minute trip to go back any time soon.
Amazing meal! Love coming here and having the table side guacamole! Perfect outdoor seating.
Manager/owner is very nice, our server (I think his name was James) was super busy but very attentive and nice. Food is always solid.
Our server, Emily, was amazing in so many ways. Kind, helpful, and offering suggestions as we thought out loud about our choices. She is an EXCELLENT representative of your restaurant - especially being such a young adult. She made our dinner so much better. In addition, the wait staff who removed our plates, etc., were very polite and professional when coming to the table. They tried to do everything without distracting us. The restaurant is, of course, beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect for our little celebratory dinner.
My wife and I have dined at Caracara many times and are never disappointed - great food - terrific service!
We have been going to CaraCara since it opened. It's consistently been one of our favorite local restaurants and that's not something that is easy to achieve considering how difficult the restaurant business is. We had the tableside guac, a delicious frozen drink each, paella and salmon. We were given churros on the house which were scrumptious. This is an all around excellent choice when you're hungry for quality dining.
Drink & Appetizer portions were very very small. Our drinks (martinis and margarita) were half full, literally 3 to 4 sips and they were gone ,,,unfortunately the price reflected a full cocktail. We got the octopus chorizo special appetizer but it was like a 'hash' tiny little pieces mixed together-very little flesh from the octopus, mostly fat and corn- terrible ,,, and it was $21. On a positive note, the dinners were fresh and very good. Living n the area it would've been nice to have a local Mexican hotspot but for us, this is not it. The couple we were with had been there before trying to give it a second chance, to no avail.
Good food nice people ,fast service

As a Farmingdale resident, we've eaten here several times. Always a delicious meal. Our server was also attentive , knowledgeable about the menu and very nice. Overall, a great meal!
I always have an excellent experience at Caracara. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the best margaritas! The guacamole made at the table is just wonderful.
Was the perfect location for our train friends gef together. Food service and drinks were amazing.
It was national margarita day, our reservation was 8:30 pm, we were seated 9:15 pm. It was very busy. The food and service were very good.
Enchiladas were out of this world!!!!
