The service is very friendly and fast, but I'm not 100% sure of the veracity of their suggestions after they assured me the pollo campesino was among their favorites. I had the queso fundido and said pollo campesino. The queso tasted purely like white Velveeta, nothing more. It came with no accompaniments, but there were table chips i could dip in it. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The pollo campesino was nothing I've ever seen in Mexican cooking in my life. Chicken with a cream sauce and mushrooms? Also, a cream sauce that tasted mass produced and not delectable at all. Suffice to say, I didn't feel the love here, and the cuisine bore little resemblance to Mexican.

We are out-of-towners who were in the area to ride bikes, so finding the local bike shop was…read morepriority number one. I love when the local bike shop is *truly* a LOCAL bike shop, and not some generic conglomerate that has hired locals. We got so many excellent recommendations on where to ride, what to look out for, and any setup changes we should make based on our individual setups. For those who didn't bring bikes, renting bikes was quick and painless. They took the time to get us dialed in before we were off to ride. The merch was top-notch. My only (very minor) disappointment was that the green hat that I bought to match the jersey I also bought was a children's hat. I missed that at time of purchase and didn't realize it until we were back at our rental for the night. It's okay, I brought it back the next day and they were cool about it and let me swap my kids hat for a different adult-size hat, even though they didn't have any green adult hats. I wish we had a few extra days in the area, I would have loved to join some of the local group rides that seem to meet here to ride regularly. We did eat lunch here one of the days. It was so nice to eat outside. There was a good flow of people in and out, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. We had a group of 8, and yet everything arrived just as quickly as we ordered it. I had a crunch wrap. It felt like a lot of food, but it hit the spot. If I find myself back in the area, I will definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

Got the carne asada and al pastor taco dishes. The carne asada was tasty but quite chewy, definitely overcooked. The al pastor was very tasty and if I went back that's what I would get again. I do think the price is a bit steep. The tacos are pretty small given the price you pay for them, and for just a basic lunch for two of us with tacos and a drink came out to $50 with the tip. The service was friendly, and the view is very nice although frankly in this part of Vermont is hard to find a place where it isn't nice.

Maybe it's user error here, but I didn't really understand what to do. I ordered & then sat back down but had no way of knowing when my drink was ready - & it had been for some time, just sitting on the counter. I think with a few tweaks, the ordering system could be refined & made not so confusing. Again maybe it was just a me problem. I asked for my margarita to have a rim salted enough to satisfy a goat & unfortunately that didn't happen. It was spicy AF, though, which I really appreciated. So many bars claim to have a spicy margarita but then it's just limeade slightly reminiscent of a bell pepper. Not the case at Carlita's Cantina - that thing cleared out my sinuses.
