Wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL! What a nice little gem hidden away In small town. We were on the road to Amarillo, where we were stopping for the night, and we drove 10 miles out of the way because of all the great reviews. My husband grumbled about it and I was so happy everything was so great, made the detour worth it. The restaurant is CLEAN! The bathroom is impeccable. The waitress was so welcoming and friendly with such a beautiful smile. She made recommendations, knew her menu and was quick with everything. I ordered the create your own plate and got two chicken enchiladas covered in the verde sauce and a tamale in Chile sauce. The verde sauce was sooooo flavorful and very very spicy. The chicken in the enchilada was tender and well seasoned. Overall delicious enchilada. The tamale was just as good. Great meat to masa ratio. My husband ordered the beef fajitas at the mere price of 13 dollars! Wow! He was a huge fan. The meat was tender and flavorful. Perfectly grilled up with peppers and onions all over the sizzling....and I mean sizzling platter. My daughter got a kick out of the steam and sizzling. Great experience and I'm sad this place is 800 miles away from us in Colorado. We will definitely visit again when we drive to Texas next. This is a must try! read more

Just a couple miles off 287E. We had the super burrito (should be called the super super burrito) and taco salad. Both were very good! The taco meat was of great quality. The salsa and chips they sent along with us were great too. Actually, the salsa is one of the best I have had. Very slight kick but really quite good (we like ours hot). The customer service was great, decent prices, the inside is open and again the location was superb. Definitely give this place a try if you are passing through and wanting a good Mexican meal. read more

Carley was a fantastic server. Efficient and smiles. Thank you. It's not easy to find good help in Texoma these days. Driving through and a good stop for a taco. The best is the stir fry chicken fajitas. That town needs some businesses. Thanks read more

Nice little Tex-Mex restaurant with fresh crisp chips and a decent salsa. The prices are good and they cover the spectrum of Tex-Mex favorites with a few extras like empanadas (not always easy to find on menus). The food was satisfying and the service was friendly and quick. Casual atmosphere great for families. I would stop in here again when we are road-tripping. Just a few miles off the highway in Electra, Texas. read more

Surprisingly excellent, honest tex-mex. Their green sauce was seriously spicey! Carnitas in chimichanga tender and flavorful.

They didn't tell me they raised the prices and I was not expecting to be charged 5.39 for a small Queso and the waitress didn't know anything read more

Stopped for lunch on a road trip. Food was amazing. Service was friendly and prompt. Highly recommend!

If you in Electra & your hungry, you only have a limited of places to choose from. This is definitely the better one.

We took a detour to eat at this restaurant. For a detour, the meal was okay. Nothing so special. We ended up trying most of things on the menu. read more

We were driving through the area and decided to give it a try. We were so glad we did! The chips and salsa were delicious! The waitress kept refilling the huge baskets of delicious chips and generous servings of salsa! The green salsa was spicy and delicious as was the queso! We ordered combo fajitas which were plenty to share and delicious at a very fair price! The waitress was so attentive and kind! The kids ordered cheeseburgers and grilled cheeses which came with huge servings of fries. They loved it all and asked to come back here every week! Unfortunately not possible for us, but we will definitely stop by again when we have the chance! read more

Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Electra, Texas

Wow! We stopped in thinking the reviews might be a little too good to be true. Carlitos is awesome! The service was friendly and efficient and the food is fresh and homemade. My green chili chicken enchiladas were some of the best I've had. Note: get a side of sour cream because they are SPICY. It really is completely worth the short drive off 287. read more

Food was amazing, staff very welcoming and attentive. Perfect spot to take a meal break during a long drive.

I was craving Mexican food as we where driving to Las Vegas and happened to stop by at this restaurant awesome customer service Antonio helped us with the order and was awesome. Prices are good so is the food. read more

Looked on Yelp to find a dine in restaurant to stop and eat on the way from Amarillo to Dallas. Carlitos was the first restaurant review, and we decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews. We sure are glad we stopped! The food was delicious. My husband is a salsa snob, and he couldn't get enough of it. The cheese enchiladas were delicious, and our sons all really liked their meals (steak ranchero, nachos, and beef enchiladas). I'm not always a fan of refried beans, but Carlitos' were so so good! Traveling with our 3 boys, I treated myself to a frozen margarita. I may be considered somewhat of a margarita connoisseur and not always impressed, and I give theirs two thumbs up! Will definitely be stopping in again! read more

Excellent. Brought my ESA dog in at lunch tone recently. Very accommodative. Great food at great prices too!

Great little place! The staff was super and the food was great! The super burrito was delicious and huge! You have to try this place!

Great food and great service from Eli. App guacamole was freshly made and very tasty. We had enchiladas and tacos al pastor. The pork was awesome! Unfortunately we won't be back as we were passing thru on the way to new mexico. Thanks for the great dinner! read more

Amazing Mexican restaurant with outstanding customer service. Sit down restaurant with booths, large tables, small tables, and can accommodate groups. Fajitas were amazing! read more

Carlitos is an essential part of my family's annual Electra outing. We shoot guns and then enjoy some really fresh salsa. My dad will even ask for some of the salsa to go. Always friendly service. read more

Clean, cheerfully decorated and a wonderful wait staff. Always courteous, smiling and helpful. A great meal always started with chips and in house made salsa that is so yummy. We eat there often so there isn't a lot that we haven't tried, Mexican or American menu choices, all are wonderful. We are so lucky in Electra to have Carlitos, the same goes for the Pump City Diner, which is also owned by Carlitos. Highly suggest you give it a try. read more

Had lunch here in January 2017 as we were traveling down to Florida. One of the best Mexican Chicken Salads I have ever had, so we ordered 2 to go as we could put them in our motor home fridge for the next day!! Amanda was the friendliest waitress!! read more

Yummmy! Service was great and salsa and chips were amazing. Fajitas were tasty! Chips and Salsa were phenomenal! I would not say the prices were 3 $$$! read more

Worth getting off the hwy! Authentic Mexican and delicious chicken fajitas! Soft taco and chicken enchilada yummy. Only thing to pass on was the queso. Sweet waitress and nice atmosphere. Worth the stop!! read more

Best flautas I have ever had. Friendly service. Worth the short Duracell from the freeway.

On a road trip from FL to Vegas, driving through very sparsely populated north/central TX, looking for something authentic Texas/Mexican for a quick lunch. Found this place on Yelp maps about 25 miles out, saw no reviews but decided to give it a shot anyway. Plugged the coordinates into GPS and made our way to Carlitos. Found our way in and were pleased to see the"open" sign up and cars in the parking lot. Friendly hostess sat us right away; attentive waitress showed up to our table very quickly. M-F lunch specials @ $5.99- made for a quick easy menu choice. Told the waitress that we were on the road trip so she asked the kitchen to expedite our order so we could get back on the road quickly. I had the beef crunchy tacos & my friend had the chicken enchiladas. Chips & salsa were served while we waited; chips were light & fresh, still warm, and the salsa was top notch. I ordered a draft Bud Light, but the keg needed replacement- waitress offered bottled or another flavor so I asked for a Miller Lite. As she was heading back to get it I told her if that keg was empty a Coors light would also be OK- got the Coors Light! Very cold and refreshing in a big glass. Food came out quickly- was excellent. Rice was tender and well seasoned, and black beans were warm, spicy and delicious. Seasoning in my taco beef was excellent and the shells were quite crisp. Waitress was very friendly and had a great smile- we'll be back next time we pass through Electra TX! read more

Thanks fellow yelpers. Stopped here at your suggestion on a trip from Dallas to Breckenridge. The bathrooms are indeed very clean. Carlitos serves classic tex mex - we shared a dinner with tacos, tostadas, enchilada, chili relleno and tamale. It was delicious. And get the guacamole - we got the side order for 99 cents. Big chunks of avocado. Definitely drive the extra mile past the sonic of you are looking for tex mex. read more

Chips and salsa alone are worth the stop! Salsa was delicious and made on site. Enchiladas with green sauce were great. I rarely eat much of the beans and rice sides but I made an exception this time. The beans were some of the best I have had. read more
