" I enjoyed my experience at Carlos and Mickey’s. The live entertainment made our evening more enjoyable. I ordered the taco platter, and everything was good, especially the salsa. It was quite busy, but the staff managed to stay friendly despite the hectic environment. The only downside was that it took longer than I would’ve liked to receive the food. However, I would still consider this restaurant for a future visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Tex-Mex fan, Carlos and Mickey’s is a great spot! Their unique dishes keep things exciting. The carne asada I ordered was cooked to perfection, and I so enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant with its warm lighting and festive decorations! Our server was friendly, too! It’s nice to see staff who really enjoy their jobs. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carlos and Mickey's with friends for a casual dinner. The atmosphere is buzzing, and I loved the vibrant decor. Unfortunately, my shrimp fajitas were somewhat underwhelming. The shrimp were cooked well, but the dish overall lacked spice and flavor. We had to ask multiple times for our drinks to be refilled, which was frustrating. That said, the table-side guacamole was fantastic—really fresh and creamy! Might consider trying a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience at Carlos and Mickey's! The food is authentically flavorful, particularly the carne asada tacos, which were so tender and simply delicious! We also shared a pitcher of mango margaritas that added to the fun. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is lively, especially with the live music playing in the background. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun dining experience with great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carlos and Mickey's has become a staple restaurant for us. I regularly bring friends and family here for the bright atmosphere and good food. The tacos are always delightful and the margaritas are some of the best I've had! The only downside is the occasional wait time, but that’s to be expected with quality dining. Love the vibe and the service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Carlos and Mickey's based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit disappointing. While the ambiance was cheerful and welcoming, the food just didn’t hit the mark for me. I ordered the enchiladas, and they tasted quite bland, with a sauce that seemed out of a can. The servers were friendly, but it took forever to get our meals. I feel like this place has potential, so I might give it another shot in the future hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carlos and Mickey's after hearing so many good things. The ambiance was lively, and I was excited for the food. I ordered the enchilada dinner and was disappointed when the sauce tasted like it came from a can. The margarita was great, though! Our server was polite, but again the food didn’t live up to expectations. I might give it another try, but I have to reconsider. " (*Curated Review*)
