    The "primo" fajitas.
    Cindy B.

    We ordered the carne asade fajitas. The more expensive fajitas. No guacamole, no pico de gallo, no sautéed bell pepper. And the tiniest serving of sour cream I've ever seen. Maybe a teaspoon full. Disappointing to say the least. We'll go somewhere else next time.

    We stopped in for dinner after shopping for plants at a local Forest Hill nursery, and we were not disappointed. The large house margarita is delicious and pretty big! I decided to try the chicken mole. It had been years since I had had this dish at a Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas. The sauce, the star of this dish, was delicious in that rich chocolatey not sweet way. It seems that traditionally the chicken in this dish is pieces of bone in chicken that you dissect with the rich goodness of the mole sauce. At Mi Tierra, They made the dish with strips of chicken as one may find in a fajita dish. Still good, but not the way I was expecting the chicken to be served. We enjoyed our meal the service was quick and friendly. We will make this a regular stop when we come to Forest Hill.

    Best Mexican food in central Louisiana. Well executed menu, pleasing both Tex Mex lovers and those who like authentic taqueria style Mexican fare. Start with some tamales for the table- I always get a dozen to go home with. Extra star for service, these are very personable, happy people that like working there. Give it a try- very worth the drive from Alexandria or Oakdale.

    Very solid tex-mex/Mexican food in the cenla area. Its nice to have family owned options. It has a very good reputation among the locals and can get quite busy during peak hours. I ordered a vegetarian quesadilla with guacamole. They arent stingy with the cheese; I'll say that much. My friend had a shrimp chimichanga, which sounds gross as all get out to me but he approved. The chips were nondescript. The place itself isnt fancy but perfectly serviceable. You can expect good food but I wouldn't bank on great ambiance- some generic, vaguely Mexican murals going on. But it's clean and not too visually offensive. I'm taking off one star because of poor service. The server was nice enough but very slowly and forgot portions of our meal. The other staff members were very friendly. They take cards so no worries about needing cash.

    The service and food were wonderful. I was taken there by a family member who absolutely loved the place and was reading the reviews on the way to the restaurant. The few complaints I heard were the portion size(and for a guy I could see that), and the temp inside. I did almost freeze but as a person who's worked fast food I understand!!! The people in the back deserve to be comfortable as well!! I will say that the cheese dip was phenomenal!!!

    Great smiles! Great margaritas made fresh using Jimador tequila! What! Food is awesome and comfortable seating. Definitely worth the stop!

    What is it? Awesome

    The Best Mexican food in Cenla. Hand made tortillas on site. Homemade salsa made from local ingredients. The margaritas are delicious, and if you have two of them I suggest letting someone else drive. Locally owned and operated. The tamales are some of the best in the region and have won numerous awards. If you have to wait to be seated, wait, it is worth it.

    Cost over $100 for a family four for cold, greasy food. Slow service and the place was empty.

    Really good soft chicken tacos (corn). Fresh veggies and super tender and flavorful chicken. Two soft tacos cost less than $5.00 bucks.

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.

    Nick's Pick: Caro's Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Alexandria! Caro's "Authentic" Mexican…read moreRestaurant I've been a weekly customer for almost a year, and it's the only Mexican spot I go to in CenLa. My favorite? 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
