My husband & I bought a Groupon for Carlito's Mexican Restaurant in preparation for our weekend get-away. We checked TripAdvisor before purchasing because we weren't familiar with the restaurant. It received decent reviews, so we went ahead with the purchase. We were not disappointed! Our meal was delicious. The chips & salsa we snacked on before our dinner was served... More

I've been going there for years,but enough is enough. The food has been gradually declining over the years while the prices go up. On my last visit there the service was bad. Two of the dishes brought to our table were completely wrong. It also took 45 minutes to get our food and when it did come it was cold! More

Liked the atmosphere but don't go if you don;t want to be around many college kids. The food was okay. I ordered Steak Colorado: it was somewhat bland. This is a good place to go to if you cannot find anything better. More

Unfortunately my recent experience here will be my last. Rather than stick with a combo meal we decided to try some specials. I had a sampler with a taco, burrito, chile relleno, an enchilada, tamale and rice and beans. My daughter had the sea food fajita. First we were presented with a basket of tortilla chips which were a funny... More

This was a choice close to the hotel and we were very pleased we decided to eat here. We arrived quite late after a walking ghost tour and were served promptly. This appears to be a family run place and everyone who served us was friendly. The complementary corn chips were replinished and our meals arrived quickly. The food was... More

You are probably not thinking Mexican when visiting Savannah but you have to try this place. The prices are in line, the chips and salsa are to die for, and the places is cool to boot. A do not miss. More

The title pretty much sums it up.. good Mexican food and affordable prices compared to most of the other restaurants in the Historic District. The portions are very big, bigger than expected and almost impossible to finish. The service was great. We didn't have to wait for a table and were promptly seated. The waiter was very nice. The chips... More

Wednesday, July 20, 2011 When we arrived, we were greeted IMMEDIATELY by an employee. We were welcomed, taken to our table, and started with water & drinks. The employees clearly care about the customers. I felt as if I was part of the family. The sense I got from this restaurant is that it is a family-operated authentic Mexican restaurant,... More

Carlito's is a pretty standard tex/mex restaurant but sometimes that's just what you need. This isn't somewhere to take your significant other one for a quiet romantic meal. Chances are whenever you visit Carlito's it will be full of boisterous children, rowdy college students or both. Décor is strictly plastic cactus and easy-wipe tablecloths but the food is wonderfully tasty,... More

I cant believe how good the food was!! The margaritas are PERFECT!! Even for the "house" margaritas they were amazing!! I've never had so much fun in a restaurant before. When we arrived there was a line to enter, but we only waited a few minutes and were seated rather quickly. Inside was packed, but they brought hot chips and... More
