Fiesta Dinner Special
Elizabeth N.

We stopped here for dinner on our road trip from New Orleans to Dallas. It's a nice restaurant near a highway exit. Right away they bought out the a big portion of freshly made salsa and chips. Husband got Natchitoches Special and I got Fiesta Dinner Special; both portion was huge. I took half of my food to go for leftover for lunch the next day. For what we paid for, it was a great deal. The server was Miguel was very friendly, attentive, took our order quickly and food came out right away. My kids ordered from the kids menu and the older got burrito...good portion size and he liked as he ate all of it. The younger one got nacho or chip with cheese...I didn't take a picture but it wasn't what he expected and he didn't eat much of it. Mexican music playing a little loudly in the background and plenty of parking. Would recommend and will come back if/when I am in the area.

Beef burrito

This little gem is right now the interstate ( .2 mile). The chip were so fresh & taste. We ordered the burrito & chimichanga. Both entrees were delicious. The staff was friendly & service was quick. If you are passing through & want a quick but delicious you should get this place a try.

Guest Check

Looking for a place to get tacos and a burrito. The tacos weren't to bad. But the burrito was soggy from the outside. Chips were warm but stale. And the salsa wasn't to bad if you like Pace picante sauce. The manager's Victor Padrón and Jorge Pineda were very encouraging to have me write a review, when I asked questions about certain prices, as the website shows one price and in person is a different price. Leaving a copy of my receipt.

Their food is amazing the staff is super friendly. The restaurant looks more like an art gallery with all the art. So much beautiful details. I'll definitely come back when I come here do to work it's a must try! Yummy!

If you're traveling I-49, this is your exit for food, gas, biological break, etc., as there is not much before or after an hourlong drive in either direction. That being said, unless you're satisfied with fast food, you could opt for some good food fast. Not a gourmet restaurant, but you will get some good Mexican fare at very reasonable prices. Salsa is excellent, portions generous, and the margaritas quite tasty and cold if you have the fortune of not being the DD. Wait staff could be a little more engaged and enthusiastic, but were adequate.

Start you off right. Really hot sauce upon request. Menu is huge.

Food was good. I liked the tamales, salsa and chips were fresh. Didn't have to wait long. He brought it out to the car.

Let's start with the service as a first time customer. They started off attentive and kind. Waiting…read morefor food its a pretty nice location. We got a basic taco salad and sopapillas order, with chips and salsa Togo. Got to the vehicle and checked the order. Salad looks good. Chips and salsa; a small helping, but they look good. Then we open up the sopapillas. There's the three sopapillas but then added items that weren't on the menu; assumed chocolate sauce, sprinkles and whipped cream. The menu says a tortilla that's deep fried topped with honey, butter and cinnamon. So it should be that simple. But with a dye allergy and staying away from certain things it was a bad surprise. So I went back in and asked/complained and told to wait for the manager or chef not sure who he was to get off his cell phone call. He came over and said that's how it comes. If I said to put the items on the side then they would've done that but since I didn't ask it was pointed as my fault. Then I asked if they can fix it and they said no. I left mad. My husband went back in. They talked it over, same guy that helped me; finally agreed they will fix it this one time but next time we need to ask. ( How do you ask about extra ingredients that aren't even on the menu? ) The food was decent eating it. We 100% would've been back for a dinner party in a couple weeks if their service was better. But we're going to take our time and money elsewhere, especially becauseof food allergies. I hope their attitudes get better in the future and they learn their menu instead of making the PAYING customer mad. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. So to end this review. I am sure there is better places to eat. Go to them. Go somewhere where they care you are spending your money, even if it's just for a $5 item or making it yourself and don't treat you like they are doing you the favor. Eating out is a treat not a must.

Great place to stop and eat drink and relax! Food was really good! Service was great staff was also…read moreperfect. Will be back there on returning to Beaumont,Tx

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 street tacos --though the burritos and fajitas never disappoint either. What makes Caro's stand out is more than the food--it's the people. The owner and staff always greet me and make every visit feel like home. If you haven't tried Caro's yet, take it from me--you should! #NicksPick #CenLaEats #SupportLocal #AuthenticMexican #AlexandriaLAe
