Dos Carlitos: Reviews & Ratings

One of the places I still return to in the valley. The quality of their food is consistent and always great. You get so much food and usually walk away with leftovers. If you go for dinner, before 5 there will usually be no wait after 5, especially on the weekend, you can expect to wait for a table.

The seafood enchiladas are amazing! Worth the price! The green sauce is a little spicy so I get it on the side. Always have leftovers for another meal.

This place has the best mexican food we have had, we were very impressed. I have a cheese enchiladas, and my husband had the Chile reyeno. However, the service was not good. We didnt get drink refills. Had to ask. Had to ask for more salsa. Its just not the service you would expect for 25 dollars a plate.
