Carlas had amazing food packed with flavor! Excellent service and great variety in menu. Loved the atmosphere. It was quiet when we were here on a Monday night around 1000. Food was worth the price! We ordered the chicken fajitas and chicken enchiladas. Both were amazing and I highly recommend.

Cute place! Usually only one person on the floor running the place when we go three times and they do the best they can! We never have poor service or any complaints. Its the perfect goto when out of town people come and need a bite or if we want to stop for lunch during the busy day!
