Carlitos' Cafe

"The service and food was excellent definitely recommend 10/10"

"Great authentic mexican food. Great atmosphere! If you're in the Tri-City area in Newcastle, this would be worth the stop."

"Not Tex-Mex! Industrial bathroom chemical spray is the first thing you smell. It sprayed me when I entered the BR and I had to take off my jacket. The restaurant is dirty from the menus to the table and floors. I took pictures of feces all over the toilet (I won't post here). Waitress stated she does not eat the food and did not recommend anything. Ordered enchiladas and a taco for two and water. It was well over 30.00. The goop inside the taco was disgusting. All the food, including setup, was room temperature. Cilantro played the leading role in the hot sauce and the cheese sauce was thin and tasteless. Staff bussed tables together while sitting down and visiting with each other. A peek inside the kitchen revealed lots of people just standing around visiting in a dirty kitchen. At best the restaurant serves Luke warm leftovers..but from when?..is my question."

"The food here is flavorful, fresh, and exciting. You won't get a meal that isn't over the top. The spice is wonderful. The drinks are thirst quenching, and it's a huge family favorite since my mom moved to the area. Portion sizes are HUGE. You can have 3 meals off one dish. The prices are very reasonable. Service is slower since the pandemic, but everywhere is having struggles with staffing, this is something we will simply need to budget into our time as guests. The place is clean, the people are friendly. I really love it."
