We were looking for a hidden gem Mexican restaurant and we stumbled across this amazing restaurant…read more When we arrived the place was empty but by the time we left they had a nice little crowd. To start out the service was great! Our waiter took great care of us and gave us some good advice on what to order. I end up getting muscles as an appetizer and chef special as my main course. The food was phenomenal good. The best I've had in a while. Overall this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've had in a while!!! I can't wait to go back and try the margaritas!!!

Saw some good reviews so wanted to try it out. The meat was okay, not the best quality in my…read moreopinion. Asada had a decent amount of fat and the lack of topping options wasn't great. Was a very simple taco. The bean burrito had the potential to be great, but the beans had a weird taste to them. Not necessarily bad, but it wasn't a flavor I loved. The tortillas really saved the day and are why it got this rating. Service was great! Really nice workers but wasn't the cleanest taco stand around. Not somewhere I would necessarily go out of my way for but not terrible

He said it was "meh" which and it didn't make him want to switch from the two competitors we dine at also. I liked it more than my friend for sure but our server, an attentive young woman named Loren, made the meal fun. She has a great personality and was very helpful. Someone at this location is doing a great job at identifying future staff members and training them up right as both times I've eaten here the servers stood out. Kudos to management and/or HR.

My wife and I have been eating at Caramba for almost 30 years. Obviously not this location but…read morethey're all good. I get there their nachos. Every time. I love nachos. Are the they best nachos? No. Are they very good nachos? Absolutely, but you have to ask them to use shredded cheese instead of the queso. Shredded cheese is objectively better than queso on nachos and how Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya originally made them over 80 years ago. (I literally just learned about him today) My wife always gets a chimichanga and loves them. Again probably a four star chimichanga. My absolute favorite thing about Caramba's? The Primo margarita. Oh. My. God. It's possibly my favorite margarita ever. They're a little too strong for my wife, but in my opinion, seriously one of the best margaritas I've ever had. It's probably best that we don't have a location closer to our house because I'd be eating nachos and drinking Primo margaritas at least weekly. It's a family favorite as well. The kids always get mini chimis and horchata and love it. The service is always good. The food is better than average. The prices are great. I can't wait to go back.

This location of Caramba's has been my go-to place for many years. I always bring my family and…read morevisiting friends here for the casual ambience & great food. But last night I was mortified by the lack of service and embarrassed that I invited my friends to come for Taco Tuesday. I get it: 1 bartender on a busy night who got quickly overwhelmed and behind. And then couldn't catch up. So service was a failure. But when you have five older women who are so frustrated they are actually thinking of walking out on their tab? Ball has been dropped. We waited over 15 minutes to place our first drink order; waited for our drinks; bartender never returned so we ended up ordering our food in the other section; and then gave up on ever getting any more drinks. By the time I got my food order, which got lost on the line, the rest of my party had finished eating. Funny, when we started to complain about the lack of service? Our checks magically appeared which should have swiftly and politely have been comped. The food here is pretty good but it's not enough to bring me back. And that's unfortunate. When I was running restaurants we always put a premium on customer satisfaction and the customer experience. Our complaints about a lack of service should have swiftly been addressed with a gracious "you are right. Let us buy your drinks." Or "something." Anything. An apology. A recognition that "we could have done better." It's not the servers' fault, but they would benefit from strong leadership on busy nights. Note: after complaining they did cut our bar tab as some sort of compensation, which we paid along with what we paid for our food. I Hope management sees this and begins to ramp up staffing on their busy nights because it's not fair to staff. On busy nights you need a strong leader who is not afraid to take control - and expeditors! I also hope management empowers their onsite managers. For takeout, I will continue to recommend.
