    Gallo Gigante ai ai ai!

    Nice warm chips, nice texture. Offered limes or lemons with my water that's better than most places. Taco salad was good. Taco bowl was fresh and crispy. They had Thousand Island that I like with TS. Nice place.

    Suprisingly this is not only just a Mexican restaurant, they have some other foods too. Maybe this is because not many restaurants in town. All foods are very good. I really enjoyed the grilled fish they made, and ordered the same thing the second time. Next time I am going to order the fish again.

    Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Lunch Sample Plate with Taco, Tamale and cheese Enchilada

    Let me first start this review by saying that came at lunchtime primetime at 12:30 and the parking…read morelot was full. This is a popular location in the small town of BurkeBurnett.. The restaurant is a little bit, faded and worn the signage around the building as well as the trash receptacle definitely needs a little bit of revitalization. When you enter in the door, we were greeted immediately and seated right away. The waitress was exceptional as far as being attentive to the table, making sure the drinks were refilled, and even asked if I wanted an extra basket of chips before the food was served. The decor is bright and colorful, but it is a very small dining area with a small bar. They had quite a bit of cocktail mixed drink, and beer offerings. I opted for a iced tea with lemon.. I ordered the sample platter so I was able to get a taste of a few different items. It arrived very shortly after it was ordered. I did include a picture when it was first put in front. It seemed very appetizing, but unfortunately, at least for my taste the chicken taco I ordered was a hard shell and ample filled with ingredients, but the chicken was canned and had that metallic canned taste.. The second item was the cheese enchilada and I ordered the green sauce. The green sauce was very flavorful salted just right and had a nice kick to it. But the cheese inside the enchilada was not melted so unfortunately, every bite the cheese was laying inside there just as it was placed and not melted together. The pork tamale that came with the sample plate was very small in size it did have ample filling in it, but it was extremely heavily seasoned. Definitely had that Tex-Mex flavor to it on a scale of one to 10 I would rate it probably 3 1/2. The reason for that is just it was a very overwhelming seasoning taste. You couldn't really taste the MASA or the filling individually. The beans were ranchero style with whole beans and some other spices. Very similar though to what you would get out of a can. They did not have refried beans that I was aware of. The rice was light and flavorful.. overall I would definitely say I would not have chicken from the can at this restaurant unless that something that you enjoy. The chips and salsa were actually very good. The chips were corn and crunchy and had lots of nooks and crannies so to hold your sauce. The salsa had lots of garlic in it and a nice not overly salted seasoning definitely one of the bright spots of this lunch. The service was outstanding. And there is a very good size menu, including some American food offerings which should lend me to come back and try the spot again maybe something different would strike a cord with me. But for now, I'm gonna leave this at a three star rating.. one word of warning they do have a 3 1/2% convenience fee for using a credit card. If you show up with cash then maybe the 3 1/2% won't be a surprise for you. I was unaware and it did add quite a bit to the Bill. they do offer a 10% discount for military.

    As I walked in I had to wait for the Host to come over to greet me. He took me all the way to the…read moreback even though the restaurant was empty at this time. Which I wasn't really happy with due to having a disability and me waking with a cane. He should have noticed the cane and seated me closer to the front. After that, my waitress arrived. She was very friendly and she let me know it was only her 2nd to 3rd day working there. I already knew what I wanted. I placed my special order, tacos el pastor without cilantro. She thought no onions and I had to quickly correct her. So, when my food came, everything was correct and I was absolutely happy. It may not look like much but that meat on them tacos was incredible. The flavor was fantastic. It was missing some melted cheese (cheese is life lol). I ate my dinner and had enough leftovers to take home to make another meal out of it. Always good food here at Carlito's. Gracias! Everything was amazing except the Host and where I was seated in the empty Restaurant. Especially considering that I am walking with a walking device. If the Restaurant was full I would understand but there was no one there. I came at a good time. I beat the crowd. Please work on this. Thank You.
