I took my daughter here for lunch. I had a Torte and she had a burger. Great food. It is nice to have more options in downtown Redmond. I will definitely bring my wife here too. The service was good. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. it was around 2pm, so there wasn't really a lot of patrons, but it was nice. The bar looked nice to sit at... not sure if there is a happy hour, but if there is it would be a nice place to sit. There was a TV behind the bar, bit it was a bit small, so probably not the place to come watch a game. Cool place, nice vibe, reasonably priced... but we just had lemonade. read more

See all

The octopus! My boyfriend (who first said, no to it) ate his fair share. It was outstanding! Then we shared the chicken fajitas. We had plenty to take home for lunch the next day. The chicken had a fantastic charred flavor and it was a generous portion over the vegetables. And let's not forget about the margs. We opted for the "Fresh margaritas". It was the perfect combination of flavor and sour. Not the sweet mix type. All fresh squeezed! Service was attentive, friendly and spot on! read more

Pricey for what it is. Food was tasty but nothing too extravagant. Appreciated the non plastic/styrofoam packaging

Came here with my girlfriend awhile back we were just rolling through town and found this amazing spot it was so delicious. We came on their anniversary date so there was a mobile photo booth there as well read more

My husband and I both agreed that this was by far the BEST Mexican we have ever had. Very impressed with the staffs professionalism, and work ethic. We recommend the Carne asada dish. read more

We ate here at the recommendation of the man at the front desk at our hotel ( and one random man sitting outside). The place was crowded, but we were able to sit at the bar . I ordered the blood orange margarita and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was slightly sweet, cool and refreshing and, since they left me the shaker, darned near never-ending. For dinner I ordered the grilled chicken a Las Brasas and my husband had the salmon . The chicken was delicious, but the salmon was AMAZING. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and the salmon., well, let's just say I don't think I have ever had better salmon. Add to that that the staff was friendly and attentive and the service was about as efficient as you can ask for, , I'd say this was a pretty stellar dinner for a quite reasonable price. Happy camper! read more

Hands down the best Mexican food I've had! Tried several different plates and they are delicious. Drinks are also 10/10 & worth every penny.

Found this restaurant last year and made it a point to stop in again when I was in Redmond this year. The food and cocktails are still top notch I'm happy to say! We split a plate of carnitas and the seafood dish, both very, very tasty. Don't deprive yourself of some flan at the end of the meal, some of the best I've had anywhere. read more

This is our 3rd time here and we love it!! We're from bend so we have to commute about 20-25 minutes and it's worth it each time! Never disappoints. The pulpo "octopus" appetizer is to die for. And literally any plate on the menu is good. My boyfriend and I order a different plate each time we visit and it's delicious!! Staff and owner are kind and welcoming. Love it here. Favorite restaurant in Redmond. Thank you! read more

Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine with a warm, upbeat atmosphere. I enjoyed the pork special. Very friendly staff. Will return.

My "go to" for high quality Mexican in Redmond! Also, the Chicken on the kids menu is the best I've ever seen! My Grandson loved it!

I decided to stop here passing through town finally after checking it out frequently. It was hot out but the building provide shade on the outdoor seating in front. Started with the halibut and shrimp ceviche. I don't usually order this, but since it was hot I thought it would offer some refreshment. Boy was I right! This ceviche was cold and so fresh, I will definitely order again here. Also had the asada, halibut, shrimp, and carnitas tacos as they all needed to be sampled. Though all the varieties were good, it was a tie between asada and carnitas. The flavor of the meats and the tenderness really make these meats the go-to. Oh, the green salsa that comes on the plate is epic. Halibut was really good as well. Don't get me wrong. All the tortillas are fresh handmade which is another reason to love this place. Do yourself a favor and try this place. New Redmond fave! read more

Drove by on a Saturday and noticed the place was hopping so decided to eat dinner on a Tuesday. It was very quiet inside with only one other party. Pluses - Service was efficient and friendly - Food was good - Specialty margarita was tasty Deltas - Server's mask did not cover her nose - My burrito, while tasty, was $19; this is what I expect to pay in Southern California, not Central Oregon - The specialty margarita, while tasty was $14 read more

Unbelievable! I have already left a 5 star review for this place, but they went above and beyond for my expectations yesterday evening. Those with F&B experience will understand this review more (top is how many people in a party); my party of 3 showed up at 7:30pm on a Sunday night. They had a 7 top, an 8 top, and a 20 top (that's right...a 20 top) show up at the same time right around the time we arrived. This place had 6 front of house staff including the host and the owner. We would have been lucky to be put on a waitlist to wait 30 minutes minimum at other restaurants of the same size. That wasn't the case last night. In fact, we were seated within 5 minutes. The food quality and service were exactly what I would expect from any of the other visits I've had here when it was slower. I cannot begin to tell you what a tremendous team this place had last night that endured what some servers/back of house staff at other restaurants think of as their worst nightmare an hour before closing. I want to end the review with, my hat is off to all of you last night; THANK YOU! Incredibly professional and I will certainly be back many times and will recommend this place to everyone for not only the outstanding food, but also the extraordinary work in the face of a challenge like last night. Kudos to all of you working here 8/7/22. read more

Amazing. Cut above the competition from start to finish. From the first bite of salsa I could tell it would be great. In a world where refried beans and rice can be so very mediocre, here the flavors are subtle but complex and rich at the same time. Loved the carnitas. read more

The place is just lovely, the service was great, the menu is wonderful! Unfortunately, I chose to leave a few minutes after my food arrived as they sat a guy at the table next to me who was flashing an automatic pistol in a holster around his waist. I don't know why he was too afraid to eat with his family without being armed. I don't enjoy eating next to someone who feels the need to act like he's in a combat zone. I will not be back until I see a sign on the door that firearms aren't allowed. If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars. read more

Amazing! Now we only stopped in after a round of golf for an appetizer, beer and Margaritas, but if the pork nachos are any indication this place is gonna kill it! Porks was amazing. Can't wait to go back for dinner read more

Best Mexican food I've had since moving to Redmond definitely going back. Love the atmosphere of the staff was absolutely great to talk to.

Tonight on August 18th we dined here. I absolutely love how when you first walk in one of the owners great you. She is there and ready to seat you. We were lucky to have Jenny (might have not spelt her name right) to be our server, She had the most amazing ready to serve attitude that any restaurant owner needs. My husband had the carne Asada very well married. I had the tostadas de tuna amazing well blend of tuna avocado, onion. My son hand there hamburgers having this option for children is so nice.very well done to this restaurant read more

Honestly, me and my group were amazed by this place. We came here after being severely disappointed by a rooftop lounge a couple blocks down and the service was amazing and the food was amazing and the atmosphere was good. We got Carnitas tortillas drinks and scallops (pictured). Amazingly, all of the food was very good and decently priced. I certainly hope this restaurant does not charge with the food is worth or else I won't be able to afford to continue to eat here from now on. I may live in Bend but this place is certainly worth the drive and hope to revisit. We had to tell our server to the side how great the food was and ask them to pass it on to the chefs because honestly we didn't expect much from just Mexican restaurant down the street from our original destination. Truly Epic! read more

Don't trust this place. They refused to seat a twice confirmed reservation after one of their staff "forgot" to look at the reservation list before sitting others. Someone needs t be fired and the management owes us a big compensation because they allowed their staff sloppiness and unprofessionalism to sack our party. read more

We had beef enchiladas and a chicken chimichanga and they were great. The fillings were hand-chopped and fresh. Seasonings were unique and excellent. Some of the best Mexican food I've had having previously live in CA and AZ. Good value compared to Bend restaurants. The decor is attractive and smart modern Mexican; no sombreros or serapes on the wall here. Nice bar too. Service was friendly and attentive. This place is very new but already drawing a crowd. It's not very big and it'll be hard to get a table when the word gets out. We'll be back; it's worth the drive from Bend. Next time I'll try to remember pics. read more

They have really good food but would not accommodate our 4 person group. They could have scooted 2 tables together outside to seat us but instead sat 2 couples. Trash. read more

Favorite spot in Redmond! Absolutely the best food. Service is great, family friendly, great drinks, kids menu.

I'm not sure what is better... The food or the service. Our waitress was probably one of the friendliest welcoming I've ever met. I wasn't very hungry so just had a chicken taco combination but it was really good. The wife had the fajita dish which she couldn't stop talking about. It's a safe prediction that we will be back here next time we're in town. read more

Tried this new restaurant with friends and thought it was great. They were a bit understaffed so service was a little slow, but the food was so worth the wait. We tried the grilled octopus, scallops, halibut tacos, and soup. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Small restaurant with great wait staff! Service is great.

We ate shrimp empanadas and nachos de carnitas which were different tasting and Excellent. The nachos carnitas was enough for 4 people to share. read more

Probably one of, if not the, best Mexican food I've had in the states. Very fresh and delicious flavors! Love the tortillas they bring out in addition to the chips and the salsa is AWESOME! The fajita dish, it's called something else but it's very similar, is better than normal fajitas. The meat is all so good. Will be back every time we're in the area! Service is very friendly and quick! read more

Third time in to Carnaval today, blustery October called us out of rain and wind and into... a paradise of spectacular flavor! Carnaval elevates the status of Mexican food in Central Oregon from fun to gourmet. Pozole seemed to be the perfect item for this Autumn day: the broth was rich with underlying flavors of green Chile's and chicken, perfectly balanced, flavorful yet complimentary to the pork and hominy. Excellent customer service performed by top notch crew, gracious and accommodating. While my lunch companion and I drank water , a person at the next table was singing the praises of the house margarita, and for their meals as well. For dessert, we shared tequila flan- save room, the marriage of warm tequila, and creamy flan was an absolute delight. Perfect to share. Portions are generous- enough soup for another meal. Why settle for mediocre when this local treasure is just down town... read more

Carnaval Mexican Grill - Tequila flan... save room, for this absolute perfection! - Desserts Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Everything is made in house and super fresh. Octopus is insanely good and tender. Homemade tortillas are perfect and all the tacos were great. The carne asada is the best I've had in central Oregon. Properly marinated, seasoned, and very tender. Also you could not ask for a nicer staff. The service was excellent and the owner is very friendly and she really cares about the food being served. Great job guys, keep it up. read more

We eat here frequently. Excellent fresh margaritas, wonderful Carne Asada! Their green tomatillo sauce is heavenly. Best halibut taco I've ever had. We love this place and the people who work here are awesome! read more

We found this place as we were wandering down the street waiting for our number to be called for another restaurant. We looked at the menu posted on the window and decided to check it out. We only had to wait a few minutes for a table. The menu variety was really good. The Alambres and Pollo Asado were both amazing. They had gluten-free chicken strips and burgers along with fresh Mexican food. The fresh squeezed margarita is one of the best I've ever had. read more

Wow! Amazing cocktails and food! The Tamarind Margaritas and Halibut Ceviche are on point! Can't wait to try everything else on the menu.

Incredibly good. It's small so if you have a group expect to wait. It's definitely worth it. Unlike any other Latin restaurant in town. The only thing I miss is they don't give you chips and salsa. They bring warm corn tortillas and salsa. Other than that everything was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

Incredible flavors! We tried the ceviche as an appetizer, it was superb. For entrees, we got the carnitas de peurco and crema de chipotle. They were served with house made tortillas. I had no idea tortillas could be so good. The service was excellent. The margaritas amazing. Can't wait to go back. read more

Had the Hibiscus margarita and it was the best drink I've ever had!! Food was fantastic!! and service was fast and friendly 10/10

The food is amazing, The service is great. It's a must try place. The chili Verde was wonderful, Octopus was yummy

Our first visit and we will return. Bustling on a Sunday evening - but great service and very tasty food.

Great atmosphere, and service. High quality food, definitely worth the $$$. We had the chicken sandwich and the pollo asado, both were delicious! We will be back again. read more
