Their bigger kitchen has allowed them to add to their already fabulous menu and the dining area is great! Today I had the "Island Shrimp and Grits" and oh my, they were out of this world; grits were cheesy and buttery and the shrimp were prepared to perfection! I added their jerk sauce, just because I love it! Oh and a friend and I shared a side of their signature corn and today as everyday everything was too notch!! I'm already deciding what I'm gonna order on my next visit! Treat yourself to the best locally owned and authentic food in town! The line was long as we were leaving but everybody in line was chatting and making friends, I brought left overs home and loved see all the smiles on the faces of happy satisfied customers!

I was actually on my way to another restaurant when I spotted this place and noticed the sign…read moreadvertising Caribbean cuisine with a twist. That alone made me pull over -- and I'm really glad I did. I ordered the Chicken Burrito, which came fully packed with shredded cheese, creamy Rasta cheese, crispy fries, red onions, fresh cilantro, and a side of zesty jerk sauce. This burrito was loaded -- seriously generous -- and the flavor was absolutely on point. The jerk sauce added just the right kick without overpowering anything. My only small complaint is that it had a bit too much cheese for my taste. Even after trying to remove some, it was still pretty cheesy. But the overall flavor held strong, and it was still very enjoyable and extremely filling. I actually got two full meals out of this one burrito, which makes it a great value. I also tried the Rasta Pasta, and just like the burrito, my one minor critique is the amount of cheese -- a little heavy for me personally ( i was able to take some of it off) . But the pasta itself was delicious, and the portion size was solid. I also had the Island Punch, it was okay. Personally I would not order it again. What really stood out, though, was the staff. They were awesome -- friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made the experience better. Honestly, even if the food hadn't been good, I'd come back because of them. Luckily, the food is good, so it's a win all around.

From the moment you step through the doorway, you are greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly…read moreprepared chips a welcoming introduction to what follows. 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 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.
