Sadly, Caro's will be closing soon. Permanently. If you ever enjoyed their puffy tacos and nachos, don't wait too long to go!

Food was delicious especially my puffy tacos. Service was fast and attentive because there was hardly anyone else there, which had me a little worried at first, but then when food came out, I was glad we stopped here to eat. Sweet tea and chips and salsa were also a great start!

Charro beans were excellent. Medium steak was tender, juicy and well seasoned with a perfect grilled flavor. The chicken breast was tender and moist, fork tender at that. The sopapillas were perfect and crispy. The cheese enchilada was tasty and cheesy. The salsa was flavourful and with a touch of bite. I thoroughly enjoyed this food. Nice enviroment inside.

It's just like I remembered the service was great a very friendly waitress. She took our drink order, then brought us some chips and salsa. We started with the puffy tostada's with guac and some with nacho sauce. We had the fajita botana for 1 but 2 can eat from it and the enchiladas. All our food was really good, hot fresh and delicious The puffy tostada's are awesome.
