Upon being seated, guests are presented with a simple yet genuinely authentic menu. The flavors remain consistently exceptional, a quality I believe is essential for any restaurant hoping to thrive in Alexandria. Caro's is far from the typical, run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant where meals are hastily assembled from a hot line and served with an inflated price tag. Instead, each dish reflects care, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Complementing the cuisine, the staff and atmosphere provide an added layer of warmth and charm. The establishment also features a small shop offering imported goods, further enhancing the overall experience. I strive for honesty and objectivity in my reviews, and I rarely award a full five stars. However, Caro's is an exception. This assessment is not based on a handful of visits but on years of consistently outstanding dining experiences. If I were to choose a single word to describe Caro's, it would be authentic. This restaurant exemplifies what true, heartfelt Mexican cuisine should be.

We ordered Street Tacos and they were delicious as well as Quesaberria Tacos. Also ordered tamales…read moreand they were delicious. A friend told me you could order Elote and have them cut it off the cob I asked and they said yes. Brought it out regular. So instead of remaking it just took it back and took it off the check. Salsa was good. For the price I feel like plates should include rice and beans, but the food in general was delicious. Also the Guac was yummy but for the portion size, it was a bit pricy and I also think the price of the tamales were steep, however I'd buy both again.

There is a table/chairs outside to enjoy on nice days. Lots of artwork (that is for sale) inside to look at.

Nice old place and nice owners…read more Food was good. Tried the pork plate. That was just ok. Mashed potatoes had a little spice which was nice. The tuna salad was great. The teriyaki sauce was flavorful just needed more. The turkey and chicken salad sandwich were basic sandwiches but bread was decent. The bread pudding was dry for me. I like a sauce with mine. The blueberry was ok and the almond was too sweet. The cherry pie was delicious though. I liked the thick crust and tart cherries.

One customer at a table but several workers arrived after me. I ordered several tacos on corn tortillas(beef, pork pastor, pork carnitas and a chorizo sausage) & rice and beans. No fountain drinks so grabbed a bottled water. They also have sodas in glass bottles, coconut water, guava juice. They brought me a plate of chips with queso and 2 bowls of salsa. One green and one red both were salty. The green had a kick. The red was just ok. They were making flautas and offered everyone. They were my second favorite thing. Next came my plate of beans and rice. Then my tacos. All looks like the food is from scratch. I liked the beef tacos the best. Everything else needed less salt and more seasonings.

Imagine my surprise, when I walked in and saw that it was an actual restaurant. With menus. And servers. I always thought it was a "order at the counter" type of place. I walked in and was seated immediately. The restaurant is decorated nicely, with vibrant colors, and the sound of Spanish music fills the air. I ordered the Speedy Gonzalez with a Negro Modelo. The food was great. The mug was frosty. Great deal!

I would not waste my time or money on this place!
