    I have been going here for years, nice little small town mexican resturant. Not sure what this last person is talking about?? -Wait staff is pleasant, food is quick and tasty. Never had a complaint, for a family of 4 with adult drinks it was only $50

    Best Mexican in a 20 mile radius, yes its generic Mexican food, but the salsa is the best around in even perhaps a greater radius. Its the best restaurant in town, but you have to consider the town. If you find yourself in ida and hungry you won't be disappointed. I too, tho am bias, cause I've been going there since I was a child.

    Another location I have been fortunate to have still open after decades of dining. I love the Carl's Soft Taco. The thing has not changed in at least 30 years. It is even served on the same plates, with the same gravy, same everything. How many childhood favorites can you still get when you get old? This is one of them. For this, I cannot give less than five stars. I eat there several times a year and every time it is perfectly the way I have always remembered. The chips and salsa are just as good too. Carl's, please never change.

    Mixed feelings here. I like the food and location. Now on the drink and service aspect: If you draw the wrong bartender youll get weak mixed drinks... good flavored but weak. If you draw the right bartender youll do fine. Now about service at the bar. Another reviewer said it sucked. I have experienced that and can explain why i believe it occurs. Even on a friday or saturday evening during peak times they have 1 bartender where they need 2. That one bartender is making drinks for every single person in the place. They could have 65 people on a rush. The time it takes to return to bar patrons after their drink is empty...... is poor. This is management being cheap and running the bartender ragged . There are Mexican Resturaunts EVERYWHERE and my wallet has GPS. In conclusion: Food good Prices good Drinks hit or miss Service at a table good Service at the bar during peak times... Needs improvement. SPRINT CELL SIGNAL Acceptable. Has WiFi

    Tonight marks the last chance I will give this restaurant to deliver good for or service. The first time that I ate here I swore to never again because of poor quality and high priced food along with terrible service. Friends of mine urged me to give it another try which I did and had an even worse experience. the Manager who is also the bartender is as rude as they come. She acts put out if you would like to buy something and makes faces and whispers to other employees while both are eying you. On each occasion I had to sit there and listen to her complain when other customers would leave because she wasn't satisfied with the tips they left. Tonight the same friends that urged me to give this restaurant a second chance went with me to try one more time. I figure everybody has bad days right? After waiting for a seat at the bar so that we could watch the game the same bartender advised us that we need to stay at our table since we had already ordered drinks! Refusing to allow us to move to the bar? Again she complained and I did not ONE TIME witness her do anything but walk around with an angry look on her face. Our food (three cheeseburgers) took an hour to receive and when it arrived was cooked to a crisp. The only positive from the entire experience was our waitress tonight. She was very nice and on the ball. Unfortunately, it seems she has to deal with these issues regularly. We tipped her 60% on our entire bill to show appreciation as well as let the "Manager" see what she turned away at the bar. As I stated before, this is definitely the last chance I will give this establishment to deliver satisfactorily. I would urge anyone considering visiting to not waste your time or money. Also worthy of note is that this establishment has the lowest rating of any business, not just restaurant, in the city of Ida so that has to say something.

    It's not the best Mexican food, but it's not the worst. The thing that bugs me is how out of all the Mexican restaurants I've been, this place has the worst chips n salsa. They don't even make it theirselves, they probably just buy a big container at GFS or something. It sucks.

    Terrible service if you sit at the bar. Great if you enjoy the bartender yelling at you saying "your going to have to wait for service we are busy... You knew that when you sat at the bar!" Loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear.

    Carl's is far from extraordinary or groundbreaking when it comes to Mexican food, but what it lacks in culinary genius it makes up for in consistency. The food is consistently big, fast, and just good enough. Not everything is a hit (try a combo platter to weed out particularly bland dishes), but it all goes down well with a margarita.

    I've been going to Carl's Hide-A-Way since I was five. If you're trying to find wonderful hole in the wall mexican food, look no further. Divey and delicious.

    Boring, generic Mexican. It's okay for what it is, but really nothing special in the wider world of Mexican food. It gets a bit of a bump as the local competition (Taco Bell, La Fiesta) are so much worse.

    Okay, cheap "Meh-xican" food for small town people who don't know the difference 30 miles could make!

    Some of the worst food I've ever had. I ordered the largest burrito on the menu, because I was so hungry, and ended up taking it home and throwing it directly in the the trash. If you like unseasoned meat in your Mexican dishes, this is the place to go. No wonder this place is hidden away...they're embarrassed to be found.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
