Carambas Spanish Inn Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Midland, Texas

Carambas is my favorite place to eat Mexican food in the Permian basin. Came to Midland for the first time back in 2011/2012 and this is where they took me at work. Been coming back ever since. Chico arles is my favorite or the David's but everything I have tried is good. Wait staff is very good. Salsa is one of my favorites. Beans and rice are just the way I like them as well. read more

Does this really look like $22 dollars worth? I mean i understand is a business and they're trying to make money but come on guys I purchased the fajitas with chicken and shrimp, beans and rice and this is the portion that I received definitely not worth your money keep in mind that this was just one plate for one person. It was 3 pieces of beef 4 pieces of shrimp and 3 strips of chicken the rest was a WHOLE onion! Like full size onion and a few peppers, with Poot beans and rice I mean how can you mess this up. But anyways go somewhere else where you can get your moneys worth. read more

Carambas Spanish Inn Kitchen - The fajita plate with shrimp, chicken and beef. - Mexican Near Me - Midland, Texas

Always fast a great place to go to if you have an hour lunch. Everything I have tried is delicious.

This is the best mexican food I've ever had in this town. For 99% of food being Mexican food for some reason, this place is THE best. It was my first time here. The service was fast and consistent. It appeared clean. The food: I got the 3 enchilada plate. The meat enchiladas are incredible with red sauce. The white cheese enchilada was by far the best. The green chicken enchilada wasn't bad! Just not my favorite. The beans are the best most flavorful beans of any restaurant here and the rice was decent. Better to mix the rice with the beans. The gordita a la carte (on the side) was a literal 10/10. The ground beef was the juiciest most tasty ground beef I've had possibly ever. The cheese was plentiful and the tomatoes tasted fresh. The shell of the gordita tasted seasoned and it was super crispy! Very very good. The place is pricey but you get a really well done tasty food so it's almost worth the prices. Highly recommend read more

Food and service was really good. I was visiting from Dallas and we wanted to go on Saturday. Unfortunately, they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. read more

We come here fairly regularly and enjoy our dining. We usually run into folks we know too. We ordered the tri-color enchilada dinner each. Most of the time Carambas is so fast you never fish the chips and salsa before your meal is delivered! They were slammed this evening though. The hostess and wait staff did very well, checking on us regularly. Our meals were served hot, and on hot plates! read more

This is not the best but not the worst of places, I guess it depends on what you order which kind of sucks if you are looking for real Mexican food. The tacos shells were store bought and there was nothing authentic about it. Sad to say, Taco Bell tacos are actually better. The tampiquena plate was decent although I asked for onions in my enchilada and all they did was sprinkle them on the top, again nothing authentic about it. The service however was on point! We were promptly greeted and the waitress was very fast and attentive. The restaurant had a decent appearance and was clean. For me...if you take short cuts making tacos at a Mexican place, what other short cuts are you taking??? read more

I was impressed by the quick service, it was like ordering at a fast food and getting served quickly. The food portions are not overwhelming. Most plates are under 10.00 which is unheard of these days. read more

Chicken fajitas were good, server would take the order as she is walking away from the table. SMH my wife ordered veggie quesadilla's server said with only peppers and onions my wife said yes. As you can see in picture it had meat in it! Place was clean, large place. Sorry wife was really upset can only give two stars! read more

One of my favorite lunch spots! Very good food, fast service, and clean! The staff are always friendly too.

Excellent food even better service! We really don't make it over to Midland too often because we live in West Odessa. My coworker recommended I give this place a try so we took the 30 minute drive... we are glad we did! We were seated within 5 minutes or so and first thing I noticed was how clean this restaurant is. Chips and salsa were tasty and the queso is a must. I ordered the chile relleno and enchiladas with white sauce, my wife ordered shredded beef tacos (tacos deshebrada), and my father in law ordered the asado plate. We were all pleasantly surprised by the flavor and freshness of the food. The pricing is spot on and makes a meal for a family of four very affordable. We will definitely be visiting this spot again! read more

Service was not good at all, and the food was very non-distinct. My wife and I went there for dinner and it just was not good. On a previous occasion I went with friends for lunch and it was better. Not sure what changed. read more

First time dining in after they remodeled. We arrive a little after 12pm. Lunch. We waited for about 5 mins before we got a table. I ordered Ribeye a la Mexicana. It was delicious. Our food came out quick. Out of all the salsas I had so far at the many Mexican Restaurants in midland, this place has the best tasting flavorful salsa. Their service is friendly and attentive. It would be great if they served Margaritas! read more

One of the better Mexican Restaurants of Midland. I would have given 4 stars if only they had beer/margaritas. I know it shouldn't effect the rating of a place, but it would really make this place that much better. The first time I eat there it was 5 stars, but I found it hasn't been consistent since. The past couple of times I went there I was just...OK, hints the 3 star rating. I will continue going there when I'm not feeling like drinking. I hope they can make there dining more consistent. read more

One of the places we enjoyed going is no more. We were obviously being discriminated against tonight, and for what , I don't know. We entered the restaurant for supper around 7:45, and were seated immediately. We sat for 5-7 minutes and watched while another couple came in and were seated. They ordered, were served chips, hot sauce, queso and drinks. We were never approached by anyone, and when we got up and headed for the door, the lady who seated us sat at a table and watched us walk right passed her w/o any acknowledgment. The service at these establishments sucks. It sure pays to eat at home, and not have to pay or tip these places. read more

This used to be the best Mexican food place in Midland. But last 2 times we ate there the waitresses were not friendly nor did they come back & check on you like prior times. Waitresses have changed though. The food is not the quality it used to be. Now the beans are run thru a blender the rice is lumpy & no taste. But worst of all they have crammed as many tables as possible into each room, when eating you practically touch elbows with the people at next table. You have to literally squeeze thru to get to any table. I understand making money but they've already raised prices pretty high. So we will look elsewhere for a more comfortable place to eat. read more

There's only one more great Mexican place in Midland and it's Micaela's On The Go. As far as The Spanish Inn, you can enjoy a fabulous meal with ambiance and attentive wait staff. The food is delicious and always hot from the oven. Well worth the wait and the wait is evidence as to why they are one of the best in this ridiculous city. read more

I always get the combo taco and enchilada plate! Always prepared the same and the quality of the food is also spot on!

Amigo Doug all the way! This is another Midland institution that is PACKED at lunch. If you're not there by 11:20, be prepared to wait a while to get a table. Everything I've had here is great, but the Amigo Doug is far and away my favorite. Its two shredded beef burritos smothered in queso. I eat both of them every time, even when I know I shouldn't. The quality of the service can be hit or miss, but a lot of that is the crowd and the area. read more

As a small young family- I have never been treated like I was in this restaurant. I took my family there because of the great food I have had there before. Unfortunately we had reversed racism- no one would seat us and the Mexican family that walked in 10 minutes after us was seated immediately after they walked in. I was so offended. Not a Caucasian friendly establishment. read more

Looking for a good Mexican restaurant? I was a skeptic till my buddy got me to go. I ordered the nachos supreme because that's how you can judge a good Tex mex place. They were not greasy. The refried beans tasted as fresh as a morning shave. I was thoroughly impressed and to be located within a couple minutes of the office can be dangerous. I'll be back. read more

Our family was passing through Midland on a trip out west and stopped here for dinner. Our service was great! I think we ended up finishing off four bowls of salsa and chips. We never had to ask for refills, and the food came out hot and delicious! The salsa is on the spicy side, but we like it that way. Great choice for Mexican in Midland! read more

Apparently, Tampico Inn isn't open on Monday's; a fact we were unaware of. So, on to "Plan B". The four of us arrived around 5:30 for an early dinner (no, we're not senior citizens). The waitress was really friendly and cool. The chips and hot sauce were really good, so we ordered a refill on those. The food was outstanding; two enchilada plates, a gordita plate, and a smothered burrito plate. Aside from Tampico Inn, this is probably the closest thing to South Texas Mexican food in Midland. Highly recommend this place. read more

I'm originally from South Texas, so I'm different when it comes to Mexican food around here. We tried out Carambas today and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Food was hot fresh and came to our table fast. The server was polite and courteous. The establishment is clean and well kept. I'd give it 5 stars except they didn't have any pico de gallo or cilantro for my street tacos. The server said they don't have that, unless he misunderstood me? Overall, I will be back because the food was great. Thanks for the good service! read more

We LOVE coming to Carambas! The staff is always so nice and they are really fast for a sit down restaurant! I usually order the Norma and it never disappoints :) read more

We had fast and friendly service... Which is unheard of in Midland, TX. I HAD THE "Martin's". It was fajita meat enchiladas with queso on top. Rice was wonderful! Apple tart a la mode for dessert. Food was great! But, again, the service was out-friggin-standing. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR FAMILIES!!!! read more

This place is very clean. We were quickly seated. The service was great! Their salsa is very fresh and spicy! Delicious! I got the Carla's plate which included 2 soft spicy beef tacos and of course, rice and beans. The tacos were good but not the slightest bit spicy. I added some of the salsa and it was perfect after that. My son got the beef burrito and ate everything on his plate. Their sopaipillos were the only disappointment. They're very big but not fluffy at all in the middle. It's just like a thin shell of dough stuffed with air. They had 0 flavor and were a little hard and greasy. Will be coming back but definitely skipping dessert. read more

The Taco Salad was "OK" it was definitely not worth the amount I payed. The chips and salsa were great.

Went there to eat last night. Always has been my favorite Mexican food place in Midland. Wasn't disappointed. Great asalways

The service and the food is always excellent! Every dish is authentic and fresh. I particularly like their rice and beans. They have lunch specials and a full menu of delicious plates. Prices are very good. I would give it 5 stars but I HATE the seating!! It's tough To work your way out or to the restroom Once they fill up. read more

Walked in tonite, a long time customer, hostess never spoke, never said a word! My wife and I did not even sit down, we left! We got the message, we will take our business elsewhere! Sorry Albert, we will miss you and Beatrice. Who ever is in charge needs to give the lady who seats folks some lessons in manners! She did speak as we walked out the door! She said"no?" I guess that is code, I think the proper thing would have been "I am sorry" Thanks for the memories! read more

Amazing food from out of town. Customer service wasn't to great but they wasn't full either. Queso wasn't the best we've had but was ok. Salsa was amazing for sure. Fajitas were ok not the bomb but I would give them a 8 for sure. read more

Caramba's had been closed for a while for remodeling. I am not really sure why they did...it looked fine before to me. They did re-paint and put in some new artwork and table cloths. Now that it has re-opened we were in the area so we went again. The service was very good and we really enjoyed the tri-color enchilada plates. They have fountain Dr. Pepper which was great too. The chile con queso with beef was good but kind of expensive for the amount you got. read more

So, we were seated without menus. Took quite a while for anyone to come around. We were offered beverages but no menu. Eventually the server noticed we didn't have any. I ordered a beef dish, I was expecting shredded beef but was I got was hamburger. That was very disappointing. I could have made a Mexican dish with hamburger at home. My husband had something like a shish Kay bob, but said the meat was very chewy. The other person in our party ordered chicken and got beef. The only redeeming quality is that the staff was nice. That's why I have it 2 stars. Note to self, don't ask Billy for restaurant recommendations. :) read more
