They are served really cold, and the food is served hot. So they perfectly compliment each other. You will dearly love your meal! The Ox tails, Yes, I said Ox tails! They are Fire too!

Upon being seated, guests are presented with a simple yet genuinely authentic menu. The flavors remain consistently exceptional, a quality I believe is essential for any restaurant hoping to thrive in Alexandria. Caro's is far from the typical, run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant where meals are hastily assembled from a hot line and served with an inflated price tag. Instead, each dish reflects care, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Complementing the cuisine, the staff and atmosphere provide an added layer of warmth and charm. The establishment also features a small shop offering imported goods, further enhancing the overall experience. I strive for honesty and objectivity in my reviews, and I rarely award a full five stars. However, Caro's is an exception. This assessment is not based on a handful of visits but on years of consistently outstanding dining experiences. If I were to choose a single word to describe Caro's, it would be authentic. This restaurant exemplifies what true, heartfelt Mexican cuisine should be.

The street tacos --though the burritos and fajitas never disappoint either. What makes Caro's stand out is more than the food--it's the people. The owner and staff always greet me and make every visit feel like home.

The shrimp creole was very good, fresh & flavorful, though I wish it'd been a BIT spicierl. I'm a little worried the lack of spice-heat was due to a fear SETXans can't handle it, but this was my first shrimp creole experience so maybe that's just the way the dish is? Even so, maybe offering a little spice on the side or the option to add some spice if you're feeling adventurous would be a great addition to an already fantastic meal.

My visit here was a lunch visit, arriving shortly after 11:30 am---even so it was the lunch rush and almost all of the tables were filled. That must be typical because the restaurant's staff was more than ready to accomodate my table and all others there---food was ordered and it was served quick. Between the 3 of us we order plates /combos of food which would be an entree (chicken or beef) with rice and beans. Also, some orders come with a small cup of soup which was tasty but not greasy. Overall, I finished my plate and was not hungry 1 but that afternoon so I will say portions are plentiful. Because of time, we did not try any desserts.

The food was really good, but the service at checkout wasn't the best. The person helping us seemed…read moredistracted. I had to say "sir" several times just to get his attention. When my husband went up to order, he tried pointing at the menu (since it's large and easier that way), but the person wasn't accepting. He was only doing that to avoid mispronouncing anything, especially after I had just been corrected somewhat abruptly on pronunciation when I asked about an item. It made the interaction feel a bit uncomfortable. We went around 2-3, thinking it might be a quieter time since we were coming in with an infant (which is new for us), but it actually started getting pretty busy. They do have some baby/car seat accommodations, which was helpful, but the dining area itself isn't very spacious; there wasn't much room for a stroller. Overall, the food was great, and we'd still return if we were in the area again to try more items, but the customer service and space could definitely use some improvement.

When Patacon came up on my list I was ecstatic. We are Venezuelan/Colombian so finding our traditional food is always wonderful, especially after my celiac diagnosis. It was already 7pm so we had to take our food to go, but the restaurant is very clean inside and welcoming. The family who runs it are super nice and gave us lots of tips for our trips and made us want to go back. We ordered the reina pepiada and brisket arepas and we were in heaven. We have a lot of arepa places back in South Florida and my mom (who is super picky and hard to please) said the places we frequent should go to Patacon and learn from them! Gluten free review: happy to report, no issues with gluten for me having the reina pepiada! I asked about ingredients before ordering and it was a fit for me. ¡Gracias por todo al equipo Patacon! Hicieron nuestra parada super amena y deliciosa.
