What a great hidden gem. Seriously AUTHENTIC Mexican food with a south-of-the-border feel. Menu is quite expansive considering the size of the restaurant but the food we ordered was made full of flavor! Pricing was pretty good overall. House chips and salsa were flavorful. Def recommend. Cons: No drinks with kids meals. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere ! Full bar, easy plentiful parking. Love the molcajete.

These are truly the best chips and salsa that I've eaten in a long time!!!!!! Tacos were really good. The enchiladas are really good. Wasn't as impressed with the chili relleno, but wasn't horrible. For me personally I would add an extra shot to the Margie next time. And I definitely recommend. read more

The food really has no flavor, haven't been back for a few years now. We drive to Pea Ridge to get great Mexican food!

We visited for the first time last week! We had great food that was authentic, well prepared and tasty! We had the chicken and steak fajitas and carnitas enchiladas! Nummy. Chips and salsa were very good too! The service was excellent and the bar tender was very good! Yes they have full service bar with beer on tap and Margaritas! The ambience was that of a small Mexican cafe; it was festive in traditional Mexican decor and clean! This is a very good Mexican taqueria! We will be going back soon! read more

Wonderful AUTHENTIC Mexican spot! Such a surprise! My husband and I live in KC where we have a lot of great Mexican restaurants. Taqueria Carlito has the best salsa and chips we have ever had! Tacos are amazing. We come here a lot when we are at Tablerock for the weekend. I would have given 5 stars but the bathroom needs attention - a thorough cleaning and paint. read more

Good service and sizzling fajitas. Huge portions! I will definitely be back and become a regular

You probably wouldn't stop in here if driving by, but it was really good. The salsa is great, definitely homemade. Very friendly, family staff. We both ordered the chimichanga, so I have a limited opinion of the menu, but it was tasty. Prices were appropriate. Quick service. Great place to bring a family. I would give 5 stars if they had a liquor license, as a lot of us like a margarita with our food. read more

The food was good and so was service. The apple pie was really really good. Have been back again.

Amazing authentic Mexican food! Very nice service too. My husband and I stayed at Holiday Island for a week and ate here twice. The chili rellano and enchiladas were my favorite and the chips and salsa are homemade:) read more

Not a local but happened in here while out and about. Ordered the enchiladas Verde and they rocked the Kasbah. Salsa was also solid hit. Never made it back to try the breakfast tacos but I'm imagining them being pretty darn good. read more

Street Tacos were very good. Staff was helpful and nice. This will definitely become a regular place!

Great little restaurant. They had homemade salsa and chips. I enjoyed their salsa as well as there are two extra homemade hot sauces. One was green and one was kind of an orange sauce and was really hot. I had their lunch chicken soft tacos as well as it came with beans and rice. The tacos were good portion sized with lots of meat. I don't normally comment on rice or beans but the rice was exceptionally good. Highly recommend. read more

Drove by the place when going to the golf course. I asked the folks at the golf course what was good around there. They names a few places but we're closed. So I used my Yelp app and once again it did not let me down. The place looked a little iffy on the outside but the food and service was good! read more

Amazing food & people! Had the chille relleno & 2 tacos combo (carne & marinated pork) with rice and beans and was just so yummy! Loved that they had Mexican glass sodas & the salsa and chips in beginning were just one of the best I've had! Fresh warm chips & totally home made salsa!!! Love this place! read more

Gave it one more try and ordered steak and shrimp dishes between 4 of us and the meat tasted awful, low quality. Such a disappointment after paying $76. The only thing good is the chips and salsa. Will not be going back! read more

Wow!!! So delicious!!! We were traveling through backroads and saw this place. Based on its reviews I thought it was worth a shot. Best chips! Best sauces! Yum!! read more

These are nice people who provide a friendly place that anyone can go to and feel confident in the quality of the food and service. The fact that they are child-friendly adds to the warmth of the place. If you order a burrito, be sure you are really, really hungry! It is more than a meal and the taste is excellent! read more

Our favorite place in the area to eat great Mexican food! The carnitas burrito is amazing!

Decided to stop in after leaving Dogwood Canyon and heading to Roar River State Park. My wife and I share the mix fajitas Shrimp, Chicken and Steak and the 3 cheese enchilada dinner. Everything was great from food, service and the chips and salsa was excellent. read more

I love their chile rellenos so much I've never tried anything else, but the rest of the fam really like the chimichangas and chicken rancheros. DO NOT FORGET THE IN-HOUSE GREEN HOT SAUCE! read more

This place is amazing...don't let the appearance deceive you. Best salsa I have ever had. We were visiting from Texas and were not expecting much but the food here was better than most of the Mexican restaurants where we live. Totally worth a drive! My husband and I both had the pork special which was so good! read more

Go here for tasty authentic Mexican food such as al pastor or carne asada (steak) tacos. The menu is super huge but no matter what you order it will be tasty, whether you prefer a simple quesadilla or spicy enchiladas. The service is wonderful- it is family owned and everyone is very friendly. read more

This place was so unwelcoming . No hello no anything to make us feel wanted. We walked out after ordering appetizer. We paid and left hoping was just a bad day. But do not recommended at all. We went down road to a great place with friendly server read more

Nice people, excellent authentic Mexican food. Comfortable restaurant, fast service. Hubby had Chix Fajitas...the chicken was tender and flavorful, veggies were grilled perfectly. I had asada quesadilla with grilled onions. Very delicious ! Requests please : add some music, add Horchata machine and Mexican juice machine Mango and pina colada. Please sell the Jumbo juice drink cups to go. My neighbors of Shell Knob; definitely worth the 15 min drive!!! Open on Sunday. Let's Support Carlitos! read more

The food was delicious, the restaurant was cozy and clean with a fun atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. My husband and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Place is awesome. Salsa's are awesome. Meat was seasoned really well. I live in El Paso, TX and to get food this good I go to Mexico.

The Tacos are good but the service is absolutely terrible. I have been there three times and walked out two of the three because I had not even gotten a glass of water after a thirty minute wait. The third time the wait was still long but not as bad as the other two and the food was good. read more

delicious food, quick service, friendly staff. their hot sauces that they make in store was tasty and spicy! 10/10 experience

This is a very warm, friendly, family, place to eat authentic Mexican food. There was a large quantity food served and the salsa is great along with their green sauce. This has just now become our favorite place to eat Mexican food! read more
