Walked in thinking I was just gonna order some take out but the vibe was amazing. Just got back from an overnight fishing trip and man did this restaurant fulfill my appetite. 1st time really exploring the Dana Point eateries and glad I stopped in. Very friendly staff and quick with the drinks and food. Music was playing softly in the background and the decor was spot on. Next time I'm in town, I'm definitely having a visit at Carlos Mexican once again.

Chicken wasn’t properly cooked, again. Service was horrible. No smiles, no friendly service from two different waiter and waitress. Second time we’ve been here and didn’t finish our meal, we paid and left. Across the way another couple down from us were furious at their food and waiter as well. Floors are dirty, bathrooms are filthy and the bugs along the wall inside are atrocious. Every drink glass was filthy. Never going back.

Fun place to go, pet friendly and fast service. Place was very clean. We had the steak tacos ? and they are very tasty. I'd recommend trying some specialty dishes.

Carlos has great food! Me and my girl always go there she gets the Mexican pizza and I like to switch it up and everything I've had is delicious. I love their posole and their fajitas customer service is great and they're on top of it
