We ordered the Porterhouse, T-Bone, and Pork Chop. Looks are deceiving. Small place and excellent food. Steaks didn't need any seasoning. Food portions are a good size also.

We were looking for a steakhouse close to home and we remembered hearing the commercial on the radio so we went to have dinner there. I'm glad to say it did not disappoint. It was the best rib eye I ever had.

It doesnt look very good from the outside,but remember don't judge a book by its cover. The fish and chips was delicious. The blonde waitress/ bartender was very nice. There is either a bar area to sit and eat or a restraunt area to eat.

Much like the other reviews, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but once in the doors you are treated like family. It was one of the highlights for our trip. The food was excellent and the staff amazing. If you have to stop somewhere, this is a great choice!

New Year’s Eve steak dinners 2 20 oz ribeye steak dinner for 50.00 Very nice quality food. Don’t let the outside scare you away. The staff was so welcoming to us. The service was excellent. Nice to find a decent steak. This little gem of a bar and grill should be busier. One side of the Carlitos is a bar while the other 1/2 is the restaurant it is separated by a wall and even separate doors for entering the restaurant part.

The atmosphere was terrible, and the margarita was the worst experience; it was all lemonade, no alcohol at all.

The owner Carlos makes fraudulent charges on people's cards. Don't use your debit card here he will double charge you and make charges on days you haven't even been there

The Owner of this bar “Carlos” is a thief. Guys check your receipt when you pay he always charges people more than what they get. Plus a lot of times he doesn’t give you a receipt. Worst experience ever. I saw cockroaches and rats in that place. Not Sanitized at all 🤮
