    Carlitos is a great place for quick Mexican food at affordable prices. The customer service is always great too. I really appreciate the friendliness of the staff. The tacos are great, but the quesadillas are quickly becoming my new favorite. The salsa/taco sauce is really good too. I prefer Carlitos over other similar cheap Mexican places like Taco Via or Tortilla Jack's.

    In the Winter time, I'm all about comfort food, so I tend toward places that feel comfortable and have pleased me in the past. Carlitos Mexican Food fits that description perfectly. Carlitos is an unpresuming, laid back kind of place. And it has the added bonus of being very handy to our house. The owners, indeed all the staff, are always friendly and welcoming and the food tends to hit the right spot for Hubby and me. Of course, we generally still have to have the tacos, but this Winter, I've been mixing it up by also ordering their Tamale topped with Chili in addition to the tacos and I seem to be craving the soft tacos over the crisp ones. One of Hubby's favorites is the Carlitos Burrito with cheese sauce or some of the Enchiladas -- beef or pork are his first and second choice. Carlitos Mexican Food isn't "fancy" dining, but by being consistently good they have earned a Happy Shout Out from this satisfied customer! And they are making Winter a little more tolerable for me, as well.

    It was somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. The rice was tasty but the chicken in my burrito was tasteless. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't ...good, either.

    It's edible and by no means authentic. I grew up in Southern California and went to college in San Diego. I like to think that I understand what Mexican food is. However, this reminds me of the frozen Mexican food from the frozen food aisle at the grocery store. Served on a styrofoam plate, it looks like it's been microwaved and nuked with cheese sauce (I ordered a beef burrito). Definitely lacking in the vegetable department as it lacks guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes--the bare basics. They only offer chicken and beef in burritos or taco form. I think I saw chimichangas on the menu though. Will not be coming back since I can do the frozen thing at home. I give them one star for food and one star for the friendly staff, cleanliness of the store, and cheap prices.

    Carlito's is on 63rd and Woodson, in the same strip mall that Big Mamma's used to be, before they moved to Crown Center. What can I say about Carlitos? Affordable Mexican Food kind of fast. For 1.25, you can have a taco, and they are top notch. Buy a drink, and the taco is only .69 cents. Nightly.. But my favorite are the platters. The platters usually are burritos, or chimichanga, or enchiladas, with beans (that doesn't taste like dog food), and Mexican rice, that I always want more of. The most expensive platter is only 6.65. You also get a drink. They don't have beer, but do have fresh iced tea, and all the basic sodas. The taco and enchilada sauce is not too hot or too mild. When you order it to go, they give you a little container with a lid of taco sauce. The cheese is not meh, but it's good. Everything I've had there is good. They have a mediocre dining area, it's painted darkish red bricks, with sparse Mexican decorations. They have 2 employees working (cooking), and often one at the counter. They are personable, and pleasant. I often call in my order, and go and pick it up. Carlito's is a basic Mexican restaurant, with good food that's served pretty fast. They make it at the time you order. They are a neighborhood restaurant. A good addition to Raytown, which seems to be missing interesting places to eat. Go ahead and give them a try.

    Took a bite and left to go to Wendy's. I never do this, but I don't even know how I got to taking the first bite. There wasn't anything going in the kitchen, no stoves on or anything. Then I heard them put my burrito into the microwave... on a styrofoam plate. Don't think that's safe. Don't think their food is either. :-\

    Carlitos is not authentic Mexican food, but it is edible. Its a bit overly salty but the restaurant is clean and the staff are nice. I wouldn't go to Carlitos for a fancy dinner but a quick bite for lunch is not out of the question.

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.
