Well it smelled so good I had to go ahead and try the falafel sampler on the way home . WOW !!! It was so good and the hummus was great . It was smooth and creamy and had a great flavor. The falafel had a great crunch and spiced just right. The beef tenderloin plate with hummus and pita bread was delicious also. Then look out here comes the chicken over rice with the house sauce and spicy shiracha sauce (spicy) . It also comes with a salad and pita bread. It was good and the chicken was tender . Love the long grain rice it was served with. The lady that took my order was so nice and polite and helped me decide on the menu items and what I ordered. So I'm soooooooooo suggesting that yall go by and try this place out. I will definitely go by again or even take a road trip to visit them again!!!

I felt it was too pricey. I understand that brisket itself is expensive, but $24 was a bit much. The meat was seasoned very well, it didn't need the sauce. I'm glad that he put it on the side. The baked beans were okay. I was disappointed in the potato salad. The texture of the potatoes were more of a mashed potato texture and the flavors were not there. I will not return based on the over pricing alone.

Seasoned just right to my taste and freshly prepared. The menu featured other tasty items but the best thing I ate from this food truck was the turkey leg. It was seasoned well and so tender I couldn't hold it in my hand like a traditional turkey leg. I literally pulled the bone out and the meat fell off into the foil paper it was wrapped in. Overall this is a great place to visit but more over buy something good to eat from. This is a one of a kind food truck with one of a kind taste.

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.
