They have all types of appealing specials including happy hour drink prices after 8pm. To eat we started with the guacamole: it was fresh and I could tell that the chips were fresh as well. For dinner, I had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. My entree was delicious and it was served nice and hot. The rice and beans had great flavor, but I wish my enchiladas were a little heftier. To drink I tried the classic mojito and a classic margarita. Both drinks were blended well, tasty, and strong. There were also people coming in just for drinks which speaks to the quality of the libations that this place has to offer. The service was also great. Our server was kind, attentive, and bilingual. I'd definitely go back.

They serve complimentary chips and salsa. Ended up getting the nachos with Al pastor for the table to start. It was huge and the Al pastor tasted great with the nachos. For my main, I got the Al pastor and chorizo tacos which were solid but for $25... it's a bit pricey but still delicious. Overall had a good experience with good company. * Valet parking

We waited no more than 10 minutes for a table for 4. Most of the tables are community tables. They definitely maximize all their space! I had a medium horchata to drink. Loved it! For a medium it was pretty sizable. The large is huge! We started with a large order of guacamole and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. We all overdid it with wanting to try as many tacos as we could. We shared an order of the birria tacos. These are the only tacos you can't order individually; you get 4 for $14.95. I ordered the carnitas (these are what got them ranked), steak and chorizo. I liked the chorizo best probably because of the kick they had! Overall solid tacos. I wouldn't hesitate to go back!

The food has a lot of potential but tasted mostly bland & were very oily. I only ordered tacos and the best one I had was probably the al pastor tacos. My service was terrible, my drinks didn't arrive until my food did 20 mins after ordering it. The drinks were decent, mostly sugary. I was charged incorrectly on my guacamole that I had to dispute and was not made aware the lengua tacos were not apart of the special which would of been appreciated.

I've had the Mexican Shakshuka and Latin Style Benedict, which both sounded like they were going to be unique and delicious, but they were both kind of flat. But why two stars? The third time I came to this restaurant, I ordered chicken fingers and french fries for my daughter. The first time they brought the dish out, the chicken was raw on the inside. Obviously we sent it back. The second time they brought it out, the chicken was cooked, but one of the pieces of chicken was replaced with fish. We probably will not be back.

It's on the top floor (or the ground level if you're coming from an outdoor parking lot) and one of several mall eateries that aren't in the food court. The ordering decision tree proceeds as follows: 1) Decide whether you want tacos, cheesy tacos (called, quesatacos) or a platter, 2) Pick your proteins (vegetarian options available), and 3) Determine which toppings and accoutrements you want on top of your tacos. The best part of ordering was seeing the fresh masa and tortilla press right behind the counter, a reassurance that these tortillas would be as fresh as one can get. And they were. Not only that, the meats inside them were incredible. We tried the birria, carne asada, crispy fish, and smoked chicken, all of which were conversation-silencing delicious. I'm also not a bit embarrassed to admit I sipped straight from the small cup of that rich consommé that's meant as a dipping broth for the birria tacos. If I had to pick a least favorite from the bunch, it would be the smoked chicken, but that's not to say they were bad; the other ones just blew me away far more. The chicken tacos were packed with tender meat and redolent of smoked wood, a flavor I wouldn't have expected to encounter in the middle of a shopping mall. Most of the restaurant space seems to be reserved for the ordering and food prep area, but there's a decently sized seating area right outside the restaurant and even more places to sit a little further away from Carlito's if the tables are full.
