“ The if I can say anything about this restaurant. Is that the food is so delicious that I could not stop eating I. Also was greeted by the owners. They are very nice and genuine. You have to try this place. It's the best I ever had. ”
“ Just finished eating at Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen on Craig, and I can’t stop thinking about it. This place is an absolute treasure. Everything about the experience was top-notch, from the warm, friendly service to the mind-blowing food. Right when we walked in, we were greeted like old friends—seriously, it felt like every single staff member said hello. We were seated quickly, and I have to mention this: the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. It was stocked with everything—feminine products, baby items, you name it. That level of thoughtfulness? I knew right then we were in for something special. We kicked things off with guac, salsa, and chips, and wow—fresh, flavorful, and totally addictive. Then came the Birria eggrolls, and let me just say, I’ve never had anything like them. The meat was crazy tender, packed with flavor, and they didn’t hold back on the filling. The consomme was rich and full-bodied—none of that watered-down stuff. Topped with crema and cheese? Absolute perfection. Next up, we split the Chicken Tinga tacos, and let me tell you, they were just as incredible. Perfectly seasoned, generously stuffed, and the flavors worked so well together. The rice and beans on the side were fantastic too. I’m not usually a bean person (my wife gladly took those off my plate), but the rice? The best Mexican rice I’ve ever had—fluffy, moist, and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the owners came over to chat with us. They were so genuine and kind, asking how we found their spot and making us feel completely at home. This meal was something special—one of those rare experiences where everything just feels right. We’ll be back, no question, and I’ll be telling everyone I know to check out Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen. If you’re reading this, trust me—go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. ”
“ 20/10 This place rocks on all fronts: amazing best-in-town food, the best atmosphere, and people! There is a reason the line is around the corner; it is worth the wait, and do not forget to save room for dessert, made fresh every best Key Lime that we have had, even better than Key Wests. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! My son was visiting from Reno and craving some “good ceviche”—and Carolina’s delivered. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, and he also ordered the Papa’s Tacos, which he couldn’t stop raving about. I had the Garlic Butter Shrimp, and wow... generous portions, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. You can really tell everything is made from scratch. The food isn't rushed—it's made right, and worth every minute. This isn’t fast food, it’s good food. The atmosphere reminded me of the good old days when you could sit, relax, enjoy real conversation, and know your meal is being freshly prepared. On top of that, the customer service was excellent. Multiple staff members stopped by to check on us, making sure we had everything we needed. Warm, welcoming, and attentive—exactly what you hope for when dining out. We even had to take home leftovers, and that’s saying something with two hungry guests at the table! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. ”
“ If you’re looking for authentic Mexican flavors with a creative twist, Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen is a must-visit. Tucked away in a small, cozy space that seats about 20 people, the restaurant feels intimate and homey—perfect for a relaxed, flavorful meal. Just be prepared to wait, as its size and popularity mean tables fill up fast. Trust me, the hour wait is absolutely worth it. The food? Phenomenal. The birria egg rolls were a standout—crispy, savory, and packed with flavor. They’re a perfect blend of traditional and inventive. The wings, with their fiery red hue, might look intimidating, but don’t be scared! Their spice level lands somewhere between mild and hot, making them not only manageable but downright delicious. And if you’re coming hungry, you’re in luck—the main plates are huge! Generous portions ensure you’ll leave satisfied, with maybe even enough for leftovers. To top it all off, the horchata latte is hands down the best I’ve ever had—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen might be small in size, but its flavors and portions are larger than life. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food with a unique twist, don’t miss out on this gem! ”

Highly recommend! ”
“ A hidden gem for authentic Mexican food, serving up bold flavors and generous portions (I wasn't prepared and over ordered) in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Their street tacos, enchiladas, and burritos are packed with fresh ingredients, and the house-made salsas add the perfect kick. Make sure you try their egg rolls. Their coconut based drinks are a must-try, especially when paired with their delicious chips and guacamole. The service was super friendly, making you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Whether you're craving a casual lunch or a chill dinner spot, Carolina’s Mexican Kitchen is a must-visit for amazing Mexican dishes especially if you are in the north west part of Las Vegas! ”
