Carlita's - Portland,

"Fantastic food, limited vegetarian options but the dish I ordered, Aquacates Tacos were just amazing. The combination of all the different spices creates a flavorful taco treat. My son ordered the Carlita's Skillet and just enjoyed the flavors. Great spot for a beer and some food."

"First time here, sat at the bar just after they opened. Happy hour! From 4-6 on weekdays, they have their alternate menu. I went with the pazole. It came out with a lot of radish and cilantro on top, but it was quite good. The toppings added crunch to the sopa. A little bit of heat, but i really liked it. Next, the carne asada and hongo tacos. A lot of greens on the hongo taco, and the carne asada was too packed with food for the corn tortilla. Not complaining, instead I adapted and used a fork to eat some of the bulk down, then did the normal taco thingy. Pretty delicious I must say. The ladies here were very welcoming from the start. The ambiance is nice, and I would say romantic. The music, club vibes, possibly too loud. But i liked it. Hope to come back on my short stay here in town."

"Delicious tacos and chicken mole nachos. The drinks were top notch. Definitely a place we'll visit again and again."

"The bartender Hayley rocks!! She’s a wonderful person to talk to and great at her job. We love coming here for happy hour and have consistently received awesome service and delicious food. Thank you so much!"

"Came here for a quick bite and to watch the game because the Fields was too loud and crowded. Felt like we had the place to ourselves! Quiet and chill so we loved the atmosphere. Quiet when we went but probably because it's Sunday football so everyone's either at home or watching the game at a sports bar. Ordered elote, chicken tortilla soup, chorizo queso with chips, and a short rib taco. Everything was really flavorful and our bartender was great and attentive. I would definitely come back to try more items and their cocktails."
