" Normally, I love Carolina's, but my last visit fell short. The food was warm, but not hot, and my burrito had slightly less filling than usual. On the plus side, the staff were polite and offered to remake it, which I appreciated. While this experience wasn't the best, I still think it’s worth visiting for their famous tortillas and excellent beans. " (*Curated Review*)

" I popped into Carolina's on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were packed with flavor and had a generous amount of shrimp. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, although I think they could improve on their presentation. The staff was friendly but seemed a bit rushed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carolina's Mexican Food has always been a solid choice for my family. We often go for their family meals which are plentiful and feed all of us without breaking the bank. Their breakfast options are always consistent and delicious, especially when paired with their fresh tortillas. Really, you just can't go wrong with this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" In my opinion, Carolina’s is one of the best hidden gems for Mexican food. I don’t live close but always make it a point to stop by when I’m in the area. Their burritos are phenomenal. I also appreciate the low-key casual atmosphere. Even when busy, they manage to keep things running pretty smoothly. You will not regret dining here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed during my last visit. My order was incorrect when I picked it up, and the nachos were soggy. I addressed it with management, and they offered a refund, which was appreciated, but I still left feeling unsatisfied. I understand that mistakes happen, but quality control needs some improvement. Fingers crossed for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Carolina’s, it’s always a treat! Their homemade tortillas are life-changing, and the flavors in their dishes remind me so much of authentic meals from my grandmother's kitchen. The service is generally quick, but sometimes I’ve encountered longer wait times when they are busy. Still, the taste makes it all worth it! Highly recommend trying their burritos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Carolina's Mexican Food hoping to find a new go-to spot, but my experience was just okay. The green chili burrito was good, but I expected more spice. The service was lackluster; my server seemed uninterested. The ambiance was nice, but for the prices, I needed better food. I might return to see if I had an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
