I went to this place expecting that I would have autentic Mexican food, but in reality, NO. The food was ok, but the prices were very expensive. I got two chicken quesadilla and one burrito $65.00 + tips =$78.00Sorry, but I'm not coming

Beef Barbacoa tacos were excellent. Always great service and good food. Also the upper pass beers are always super good, only small problem is many are seasonal and leave you wanting more (bring back the yuzu beer!)

Friendly, fast service and AMAZING food. Haven't had a bad meal there and I've enjoyed everything on the menu I've tried. Good cocktails too!

Mediocre (at best) food and decent beer. As others have posted, a burrito served barely above room temperature. Cheese not even melted. Bland seasoning. Maybe take it home, warm it up, and add some seasoning. Or, on second thought, don’t waste your money.

A hopping spot with great food and Upper Pass beers (as well as others) on tap and friendly service. It was a bit cramped but fits with its casual and unpretentious atmosphere. I'll be back for more. Also, many vegetarian friendly options!Vegetarian options: Most protein can be swapped for tofu or sweet potato.

This is a cool place for Mexican food and good beer (they have Upper Pass beers on tap and cans for sale). Been here twice now and the food was good both times, the tacos are solid and there’s many options. Nice side track if you’re on a long way back to NH, MA, etc. Bartender was pleasant both times.

I really wanted to like the place but there were just so many issues. First, it was incredibly loud and full so there was nowhere to sit. That would have been understandable for a small place on a week end but then the service could have been a lot better and the food was frankly disappointing. Took it to go and the girl at the cash was very helpful in answering my questions but she wasn't very warm or courteous. Not even a thank you or goodbye after a long wait let alone an apology for the delay. I took the 3 taco special and deliberately made some very different choices but they all tasted very similar. 16 bucks later I was still hungry. Very disappointed.

Nice spot for tacos in Royalton. Portions are huge, imo, so maybe get one taco fewer than you would normally, don't overdo appetizers, or just come really hungry. Tacos were great and pretty much the whole situation is a good one at Carlita's.

The food is always great, good drink options. It's a popular place to go in Soro. I usually get the tacos, chips and guacamole and the churros. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Good vibes, lots of grateful dead decor. Order at the counter, then seat yourself, they give you a pager for your food. Unless you are sitting at the bar.
This was a great find. We've been to a different restaurant in town multiple times, but we have definitely been missing out. Tacos were great, wings were delicious, so many excellent beers! The Rocco = spicy!,?

Yeah so I asked for chicken quesadillas and got pork... Now granted, our waiter was a little tipsy. As we waited for our order, we were accompanied by uninvited flies at the table. The sweet potato tacos were unsatisfactory. The street corn and the fish tacos were just ok. Their menu is limited and they do not serve authentic Mexican food. Finally, SoRo's Carlita's is so-so.

Tried tacos and burritos. The food that was supposed to be warm was barely warm. The burrito didn't have much flavor to it. On top of it, with 56 degrees outside, the place had the AC units blowing 68 right at the patrons at the tables. The menu has some options though so that's a plus. The chairs are not comfortable. Maybe the younger local crowd doesn't mind but sitting and waiting for food was not a pleasant experience.

My burrito and margarita were both very disappointing. It took forever to get and then it was burnt and not very good.
