   The food is very good and served HOT! The service can be lacking though. Our last visit of the previous 3 was rather disappointing. Our server was inattentive and waited on us over a partition that separated our area from another, very unprofessional. We had to repeatedly ask for side orders we originally ordered. We had to hunt down our tab when we were finished. Hmmmmm. Going back? I'm going to have to think about that.

   The hostess had a bad attitude! My soup was delicious but my friends Taco salad had way too much sour cream. All in all it was good and we’ll go back

   We always enjoy dinner at Carlos O'Brians. Their chips and salsa are a good start to the meal. Their menu is predictable Mexican fare, but it's very good and consistent. The food isn't too spicy (unless you want it to be) and the servers work hard to provide great service with a smile. I really get the impression that people really like to work there! And the Frida Kahlo de Rivera art on the walls is a plus.

   Service was excellent. Food was very good but 2 different dishes were soupy - they both tasted good but almost soup like - not a fan of that presentation - but, as I said, food was good. Lots of kids - just be aware. Good value.

   Huge portions. Service was great! Foordnwas really good, except the flan. I make better flan at home. No need to sprinkle cinnamon sugar over something already very sweet.

    The food was great, but large portions. The staff (all we interacted with) were very friendly. Really felt welcome!!
