Tacos Carlitos 5500 Buckeystown Pike, Frederick, MD 21703

"What a hidden gem! I was iffy about trying this since it's in a mall, but WOW! The food is scratch made and delicious. The tacos came out hot on toasted Tortillas and were so good! We got the following: chicken tinga, al pastor, Carne asada, and regular chicken. The seating is in the middle of the mall but you forget about that once you start eating. I'm a 25 year upscale restaurant industry veteran, and will definitely be back!"

"This place gave me reallyyy bad food poisoning, I’m calling the health department. Do not eat here. I’m not the first or second person to recently report food poisoning from you. I had the beef burria pizza. As a restaurant manager and someone who has been in the industry for 15 years I do not take this lightly. I rarely speak negative of other restaurants. This is unacceptable because from the looks of the reviews I’m clearly not the first person to get really bad food poisoning from your restaurant."

"Service bad. Food unseasoned. I had the lengua burrito and the meat was so chewy and fatty. Both my sister and I got burritos and they were falling apart. The cashier seemed very unfriendly and I honestly didn’t enjoy my food at all. I wish I had asked for a refund."

"I'm a sope groupie, but so few places make it right. This is sope al pastor. Meat is marinated to perfection. The corn sope is homemade and delicious. The red salsa is also great, hot but not Thai hot. Not sure what others are getting, but it is in a mall, so their customer base may order thinking taco bell. For those of you unsure, get a sope. It's a strength on the menu."

"I am very disappointed by the food, service as I’ve eaten here before. This company has also catered a work function of ours, that’s how I became aware of this company. This time making it my 3rd time. First lets’ talk about the service. 1. The young lady that took my order acted like she didn’t want to be there. She only came alive when I told her to keep the change as I was pointing at the tip container. 2. The food was disgusting, the street corn was hot but over cooked, the taco dorados were dry and the quesadillas were just as bad. 3. The evil grin and comment “Thank you for coming and come again” just did not sound sincere. Unfortunately, that was a waste of money and I will never go back again. I literally threw the food out it was that bad. Not sure what happened behind the counter, but whoever is in charge, please make sure you’re hiring top quality staff that wants to be there. I don’t know if my food was tampered with or not, I just didn’t feel comfortable."
