Great food and awesome people! Have been going to Carlitos for quite awhile now and have never been disappointed.

Let me first start this review by saying that came at lunchtime primetime at 12:30 and the parking lot was full. This is a popular location in the small town of BurkeBurnett.. The restaurant is a little bit, faded and worn the signage around the building as well as the trash receptacle definitely needs a little bit of revitalization. When you enter in the door, we were greeted immediately and seated right away. The waitress was exceptional as far as being attentive to the table, making sure the drinks were refilled, and even asked if I wanted an extra basket of chips before the food was served. The decor is bright and colorful, but it is a very small dining area with a small bar. They had quite a bit of cocktail mixed drink, and beer offerings. I opted for a iced tea with lemon.. I ordered the sample platter so I was able to get a taste of a few different items. It arrived very shortly after it was ordered. I did include a picture when it was first put in front. It seemed very appetizing, but unfortunately, at least for my taste the chicken taco I ordered was a hard shell and ample filled with ingredients, but the chicken was canned and had that metallic canned taste.. The second item was the cheese enchilada and I ordered the green sauce. The green sauce was very flavorful salted just right and had a nice kick to it. But the cheese inside the enchilada was not melted so unfortunately, every bite the cheese was laying inside there just as it was placed and not melted together. The pork tamale that came with the sample plate was very small in size it did have ample filling in it, but it was extremely heavily seasoned. Definitely had that Tex-Mex flavor to it on a scale of one to 10 I would rate it probably 3 1/2. The reason for that is just it was a very overwhelming seasoning taste. You couldn't really taste the MASA or the filling individually. The beans were ranchero style with whole beans and some other spices. Very similar though to what you would get out of a can. They did not have refried beans that I was aware of. The rice was light and flavorful.. overall I would definitely say I would not have chicken from the can at this restaurant unless that something that you enjoy. The chips and salsa were actually very good. The chips were corn and crunchy and had lots of nooks and crannies so to hold your sauce. The salsa had lots of garlic in it and a nice not overly salted seasoning definitely one of the bright spots of this lunch. The service was outstanding. And there is a very good size menu, including some American food offerings which should lend me to come back and try the spot again maybe something different would strike a cord with me. But for now, I'm gonna leave this at a three star rating.. one word of warning they do have a 3 1/2% convenience fee for using a credit card. If you show up with cash then maybe the 3 1/2% won't be a surprise for you. I was unaware and it did add quite a bit to the Bill. they do offer a 10% discount for military. read more

As I walked in I had to wait for the Host to come over to greet me. He took me all the way to the back even though the restaurant was empty at this time. Which I wasn't really happy with due to having a disability and me waking with a cane. He should have noticed the cane and seated me closer to the front. After that, my waitress arrived. She was very friendly and she let me know it was only her 2nd to 3rd day working there. I already knew what I wanted. I placed my special order, tacos el pastor without cilantro. She thought no onions and I had to quickly correct her. So, when my food came, everything was correct and I was absolutely happy. It may not look like much but that meat on them tacos was incredible. The flavor was fantastic. It was missing some melted cheese (cheese is life lol). I ate my dinner and had enough leftovers to take home to make another meal out of it. Always good food here at Carlito's. Gracias! Everything was amazing except the Host and where I was seated in the empty Restaurant. Especially considering that I am walking with a walking device. If the Restaurant was full I would understand but there was no one there. I came at a good time. I beat the crowd. Please work on this. Thank You. read more

Food not bad but could be better salsa is great service is okay. Waitress ppl talk loud and can hear their conversations and sometimes make you feel uncomfortable one time one of the lady's had a conversation with us almost the whole time we were eating. read more

Best Mexican food in Burkburnett. When I visit this town, we always order take out from Carlitos. One of my favorite menu item is their Mexican stir fry. I've never had anything that I didn't like. read more

Love the food and the drive thru! I can order ahead and grab it to go and get back to work. They are crazy fast and I've never met anyone having a bad day yet :) Eaten inside and to-go, even had a staff meeting or two there. No complaints here. read more

Yum!!!! Affordable, family vibe service, great chips and salsa and good food! My daughter ate everything, usually she leaves behind food but not here. Will be back! read more

Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Cheese enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Burkburnett, Texas

I'll need you to focus here... FOCUS ON THE FOOD. It's not a posh or glamorous restaurant - but - it - is - GOOD! This is a very simple and unassuming location in the heart of Burkburnett. We were immediately attended to and seated. Our waitress was quick to take our drink order and then our food order. The wait was not long before our food arrived and the amount of food was astonishing! Our drinks and chips never were left without being topped off. And the prices... GOODNESS!!! So reasonable! This is a definite stop when we are on the road in the area! read more

A recent relocation to Sheppard Air Force Base had myself and my family stopping here on our first full day in the Wichita Falls area and we were looking for some really good local Mexican cuisine. I highly recommend that everyone in this area must try Carlitos, it is authentic Mexican, with some of the best service and weight stuff that I have seen in a restaurant in years. They serve bottomless chips with delicious homemade salsa, I ordered an extra side of queso which was piping hot and a huge portion. I'm yours were massive and we were only there ordering lunch. We were super impressed with how clean the restaurant was how great the weed stuff was and how delicious the food was. We could not stop eating. we were given this place as a recommendation from another friend now we know wife we will also be passing the good word and recommendation to others. read more

Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Just finished the move to Wichita Falls area of Texas! Perfect first local restaurant experience! - Mexican Near Me - Burkburnett, Texas

$26.30 (or $25.42... Or $25.18... See below) --- Carlos Plate (three beef enchiladas, two beef hard tacos, beans&rice)... --- Create your own with one chicken enchilada, 1 beef enchilada, beans and rice... --- Chips & Salsa... The good: --- The salsa is very good, more on the watery side for you texture people, but definitely delicious... --- The enchiladas were very good and made exactly how we order them (multiple types of sauce on them)... --- The beans and rice were really good as well... This was a to-go order... The bad: --- We ordered online, the price it gave us was $25.18... When I got to the store to pay, the girl told me $25.42... When she handed me back the receipt, my order was $26.30... I don't know what happened between the online order and the drive-thru window, but from the drive-thru window to me swiping my card I did notice... They charge a fee if you use a card instead of cash... Now, while I understand that some of the smaller businesses do that, it would be much less cringy if they would do like some other small businesses I've seen and have the card price as the price that shows, and then "surprise" patrons that use cash with a cash discount... It feels a lot less like trickery that way instead of being told one price and paying another, even if the difference is fairly small, it's still tacky and more about the principal than anything, and don't assume someone has more money in my card than what you initially tell them... --- The salsa is good, but they could give more than that little cup or more than one when you order multiple meals... The food was the star here... It was good and overall gets a good score... Please consider the price advice in the future when the prices for your food change again... read more

If you are into pace picante sauce and velveeta cheese dip then this is the place for you. The salsa they bring with the chips has more salt than a McDonalds french fry. Honestly it was the worst "Mexican food" I've had in a long time. I recommend going to Taco Bell instead. My food had zero flavor unless you count the chili relleno tasting like spaghetti sauce and no cheese in the pepper. There were three other tables and service was nonexistent with five waitresses, two people in the kitchen, and a bartender you would think they would be more attentive. The floors look extremely dirty and I'm hoping it's not a glimpse into the filth that may be the kitchen. read more

This has become a weekly stop for us, and we always leave smiling. The food is great, as are the wait staff. They remember your preferences from previous visits, and if you are lucky enough to get Roseia, you will find her cheerful disposition is quite contagious. The lunch specials are very affordable and if you arrive after 2PM they even offer great margaritas at happy hour prices. read more

We stopped here on our way back from Wichita Falls for dinner. Its a cute little locally owned restaurant. Its clean and the employees are friendly, but my goodness service is slow! Even with it hardly packed on a Friday night. But the food and drinks are on point! Got the Monterey chicken and the tamales platter! And it came out fresh, hot and juicy. Drinks were cold and refreshing and I can understand why its 2 per person because theyre huge! And the guacamole is so tasty! If youre ever in the area. Stop here and give it a go if youre craving Mexican food! Also good prices. We paid around 32 for both of us drinks included. read more

I wish I could say that I loved this place, especially with it being such a fun hole-in-wall to the side of a battered road in West Texas. However, while service, facilities, and the people I came with were juuust right, the food was nothing memorable. Queso: Very bland, quite runny, oddly-plastic tasting. I'll admit I ate a lot of it because I was so hungry, but something wasn't right. Guacamole: Good size, but again, very bland. I don't know if they add any lime or salt to their mix, but if so, they need to up the measurements. Mexican Chicken Salad: After having Tex Mex/Mexican cuisine four times in the past two or three days, I opted for the lighter side of the lunch menu. For a great price of $5.99, I was served a platter heaped with iceberg lettuce, grilled chicken, bell peppers, shredded cheese, and guacamole. Unfortunately, like everything else I had, it lacked flavor. No dressing discernable; not even the grilled chicken could lend any flavor to the rest of the dish. read more

Food was soaked in soy sauce no veggies to speak of. Ordered pasta stir fry. Did take out I wish I knew how to post picture

Food and service was excellent! Drinks were good! Maris, our waitress went above and beyond!

The food is AMAZING. Never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. Been going to this location for many, many years. Always a good experience until tonight. That's why only 3 stars and that's generous regarding the service. There's a server there, we know her name but won't say anything here. She's waited on us 3 times, one of those tonight. The other two times, she acted like she could be anywhere else and treated us like we were a bother. We thought it was us, but she treated the table next to us tonight the same way. Both times, we left very little for the tip. We've lucked out and didn't have her as a server for a long time. Tonight our luck ran out. She sat us and took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks, my husband asked for a large queso. I should say that the complimentary basket of chips and salsa never made it to our table at this point. She comes back with ONLY the bowl of queso, sits it on the table and walks away. We sat there for 5-10 more minutes before she came back to take our order which at that time we asked for chips and salsa. WE HAD TO ASK FOR CHIPS AND SALSA AFTER SHE JUST BROUGHT US A LONE BOWL OF QUESO!!!!! Come the eff on! She was running around refilling salsa and serving others but didn't think to bring chips with the queso? I found out she's family, so saying anything to the owners will not do any good. Apparently, she's a shift leader as well. If you choose to dine here, done sit in the section that belongs to the lady with perpetual resting bitch face. It will be a long while before we go back. Going to try the other locations in the meantime. read more

We are here visiting the Wichita Falls area and found this place on Yelp. I highly recommend Carlito's if you are craving tex-mex. 1. Best service. Our waitress was very attentive and super sweet. 2. The hot sauce was amazing - bought extra to take home. 2. The food was delicious. SUPER large portions. Try the Big Daddy plate if you are feeling ambitious. read more

Great Food Great Service,drive through as well!! Big Daddy Plate was amazingly good!! read more

A wonderful Tex-Mex restaurant in Beaumont, TX. One of the older places but still a local favorite. We have been eating here for years and are never disappointed. read more

I order the chili had no meat barely beans very disappointed I usually go to braums but decided to check out Carlitos

.......................well the staff was nice m,the food was ok but not to my liking honestly I prefer more home style taste

We stopped here on our way to Colorado. Dinner arrived quickly. The food was good, the service was good, and the menu has enough of a variety that everyone was able to find something to eat with no issues. Tip: If the waitress tells you to watch out for the plate because it's hot, believe her. read more

The food quality has declined drastically over the years. The margaritas are not at all delicious like they used to be. I used to bring my family and friends here all the time. However, I have been making the drive to Wichita Falls to satisfy my tex mex cravings for a while now. I have visited a few times sporadically to see if things have improved but they haven't. I'm not sure what the change was but I hope the owners look into it and make some changes, especially with the margaritas; I almost can't stand to drink even one. It's so sour and tarty. Would love to visit more since it is so close to my home. read more

Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Burkburnett, Texas

I was looking for some Tex Mex in Burkburnett, and happened upon Carlitos. I was greeted and seated promptly, advised of all the lunch specials, of which I chose the Chile Relleno plate. Every thing was very good, the Chile was cheese stuffed, I would have preferred a hotter chile, but they had fresh Pico de Gallo that was loaded with jalepenos. I like the charro beans they serve rather than refried. Overall...a very good experience. Reasonable price as well. read more

The food and the service were amazing!!! I had the cheese enchiladas, chalupa and fajita combo! Tortillas are home made, beans, rice all are amazing. read more

We sat on the patio and the flies were awful. It's unfortunate because it was a really nice day but they were relentless. I would say the food was above average. Try the flautas. They are the right amount of crispiness with flavorful chicken inside. Just don't sit outside or prepare to take a bit and fight the flies. read more

Neat and clean little Mexican food place. Good salsa and solid service. The fajitas and chicken enchiladas were really good. Everything was fresh and up to par. Not much to eat in this area but it's easy off and on for I-44. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had but a solid place to stop to eat. read more

Carlitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Burkburnett, Texas

I have been coming to Carlitos for nearly 10 years, and I have to say their fajitas are wonderful. It I were just to rate them on that, they would receive 10 stars or more. Yet, the service leaves much to be desired at times. It can be both very slow, and often they take a drink order, but won't return for the main order. Several years back they had a lead waitress that could only be described as rude and obnoxious. My husband asked for a "to go" cup and a refill of coke, and she just rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to be bothered. We were not bothered with leaving her a tip either. On the way out, she even made snide remarks at us to a coworker which were just loud enough to be overheard. read more

The food was amazing! Just what Tex Mex is all about. The food came out fresh and the prices are perfect. My favorite Mexican restaurant by far. I'll definitely be going atleast every other week. The building itself was decorated beautifully and the staff was so friendly. Everyone greeted us with a smile and they were very quick on their feet. 10/10 recommend coming here, food and service doesn't get better than this. read more

Great food and huge portions. Fairly inexpensive for what you get. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was very nice. Will come again! read more

I had beef fajita chimichangas (comes with two med sizes chimis), rice and beans. I ordered a chili relleno as a side. The chimis had huge pieces of steak that may have been wood fired) - they were good but smothered in a yellow cheese sauce. They should have been fried longer; they were barely crispy but tasted good and we're not greasy. Relleno was perfectly done beans were whole southwest style and were excellent. Salsa was very heavy with cilantro (if you like that stuff) Overall good, I would consider coming back but would have them fry the chips, chimis, and relleno a bit longer. read more

We are from Ventura ca visiting food here is great so is the service our fav in Burkburnett

I have been coming here for years. The pandemic has really hurt the quality here. If you order takeout from the drive thru, always check it. Twice, the same waitress has subbed chicken for beef on my order, and we raise chickens, so never order it for takeout. This never used to happen. I asked for extra lettuce on my taco salad and I swear to God it was less. They have some great dishes, but that one lousy new (pregnant? Maybe) waitress keeps me to once a month instead of once a week. It is ringing up beef, so the cooks also could be at fault just not reading the orders. The inside is so dirty, I only ever do drive thru. Great chips and salsa. Best carne guisada around here. The fajitas pretty much suck, though. read more

OMG! We haven't even gotten our meal yet and this is the very first review I've ever written! This is the ABSOLUTE BEST hot sauce EVER! The chips are thin and crispy and the beer in the frosted mug is wonderful! Don't know if i can stand it, If this gets any better!!! Jason was a great server!!!! read more
