Carolina's is part of the South Phoenix community, and its food is popular. Within the restaurant's barred windows are a takeout counter and dining room strewn with Best of Phoenix plaques on the walls and booths. But all that truly matters at Carolina's is the food. Chorizo, machaca, chicken and chiles are wrapped in tortillas made right on the spot. It's hard to leave without some tortillas to take home; resistance is futile. These award-winning flour creations are the foundation of Carolina's burros, including the Oaxaca Special burro that is so popular it's now a part of Phoenix lore. Carolina herself still directs the kitchen and runs a place teeming with neighborhood action. She even cooks up menudo on Saturdays, curing those Friday Happy Hour hangovers. The prices are cheap, the food is addictive and the atmosphere is barrio authentic.

I don't care that i can't sit and dine in a fancy restaurant...what I eat and what I pay for it is what I'm looking for... Carolina's beats any Mexican food restaurant in Phoenix by far...no one makes their beans ....red chili...and tortillas like Carolinas....Next best place.....Mr' G's...in Yuma, Arizona....Bean burros to die for...great food.....

OVER RATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!
By dobiehaus on 08/19/2007
food is fair to poor. the rice and beans are puky. the building is a dump with dirty restrooms/dineing area to boot. you certainly will not want to eat in! other than the tortillas being oversized they are no better than food city tortillas which cost less. there are a lot of other places with better food...............

Best Mexican Food
By tonif5371 on 04/14/2006
Carolina's by far out rates any other restaurant in the valley when it comes to taste and price. My favorite is the oaxaca burrito, which has the best tasting chorizo I have ever had.

RATED TO HIGH
By martinezltmn on 03/12/2006
I AGREE THE TORTILLAS ARE THE BEST! BUTI THINK THEY OVER RATED THIS PLACE WAY TO HIGH. THE QAXACA BURRRO IS ABOUT THE BEST THEY HAVE, I HAVE EATEN THERE MANY TIMES AND TRIED ABOUT EVERY MEAL THEY SERVE THEY YET HAV'NT IMPRESSED ME AT ALL.. THERE MEAT BURROS TASTE LIKE LIVER,THEY NEED TO BUY BETTER QUALITY MEAT AND SPICE UP THERE CHILE A BIT MORE. WHY DO I KEEP GOING BACK? THERE TORTILLAS AND THERE QAXACO BURRO ONCE IN A WHILE
