Carlitos Mexican Food — Restaurant in Kansas City

We like to support local businesses but we won't be coming back. The place was bright, clean and staff was nice but the food is over priced and not very good at all. I asked TWICE if they had street tacos and was told yes. I was asked hard shell or soft, and I was concerned but gave them a chance. I paid $17 for 6 soft shell tacos with very little pork and mostly lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese fillers. $17!!!! Not street tacos at all!! We should have left then. Then rice and beans as a side, for $5. My 16 year old son, who can eat most anything, only ate a bite out of each, because they were terrible. Even with the slice of cheese melted on top. My $10 nachos were cheese sauce covered and sub standard. So with one small drink and tip, $40, and we stood and ordered our food and then had to go back up and get our food. For $40, we can go to a sit down restaurant, have chips and salsa before ordering and pay the same price!! I wish them the best and next time will read reviews before trying a new place to eat. As my review seems to fit most of the other...

First time here, wasn't sure what to expect from a Mexican restaurant on a Tuesday night that wasn't overcrowded. Turns out it's fast food style. Go up to the counter, place your order, pay for it, at down and wait for them to call your name. Food is on or in disposable containers with disposable plasticware.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. It didn't feel much like a Mexican restaurant, but the food tasted better than some others I've been to recently.

I had the cheese and onion enchiladas and as I mentioned, they tasted better than the enchiladas I had last Tuesday and were less expensive as well.

They serve Coke products here. I did not use the rest room. There is no dedicated motorcycle parking. I'm not certain it's all that handicap friendly. There was no music, but they did have a TV going and it was nice and quiet inside. Everything seemed pretty clean.

Not a bad little...

I walk in a I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there. I said "hi" and smiled and the lady just starred at me more then walked away...awkward! I ordered some tacos and a burrito and wow this was bad, it's unseasoned and just covered with cheese to make it even more unappealing. The "salsa" is kept in these big metal jugs and I guess they didn't get the memo about keeping tomato based sauce/products in metal containers because of the acid in the tomatoes it just isn't a good mix. The food was bland and its like they just think that more cheese will trick ppl into liking it. The meat tasted burned also. I should've went to taco bell, this place makes taco bell seem like fine dining. I don't know how this place has survived tbh because it's not the food or the atmosphere or the service. Im actually hoping that forcing myself to eat this trash won't...
