Carcara

Carcara was incredible! From start to finish, the food, ambiance, and service were top-tier. Alfredo took such amazing care of us.. warm, attentive, and truly elevated the entire experience. Every dish was delicious, and I’m still thinking about that Aperol Spritz… perfection. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be back!

What a perfect spot for a midweek work lunch! The ambiance was beautiful, spacious, welcoming, and matched by excellent service and food. Our server, Allen, was so kind and attentive, offering appetizer and entrée recommendations that were both delicious and beautifully presented (we devoured them too quickly for photos!). The guacamole and buffalo cauliflower were standouts, and the power bowl was not only hearty and filling but also packed with wholesome, flavorful ingredients. Managers Joe and Arthur even stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying everything, which made the experience feel extra special. The drink menu looked fantastic as well. We skipped cocktails this time, but it gives us the perfect excuse to come back soon

We discovered Carcara when we were looking for a Christmas meal that was not pre planned, over priced and food I couldn’t even eat. Carcara had lots of delicious options for me and it was a lovely meal. My Dad passed away last year on Christmas Eve, so we were sad but very comforted by the wonderful staff, food and atmosphere. We will be back.

Went to eat and based on the reviews I had certain expectations. I ordered the Al Pastor Meatballs and the Adobo Shrimp. The meatballs had very little flavor and some spice, served with onions and pineapple. The texture was terrible and nothing of it said al pastor. The shrimp dish was equally disappointing. Six shrimp and two croquettes and the same issue as the meatballs, not a whole lot of flavor and some spice. I ate by myself and with both dishes and a beer the total came to $72. I get the concept of fine dining and inflation but if you’re going to charge that much for 6 shrimp and 4 meatballs you need to elevate your cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and service was decent but the food has to be at a high level and this was not.

I came here a couple of times while attending a conference at the hotel. Both times I was with a small group of about 6-8 and both times had to wait an hour for our food. When it did come, it was good. They didn’t have a lunch menu on the weekend, just brunch. I got tacos which were good. Dinner menu wasn’t very big but the Caesar salad with chicken was good. The best thing may have been a bowl of chocolate mousse I had for dessert. It’s convenient if you’re there but there may be better options elsewhere.

A vibe on its own. The aesthetics, food, presentations, water, cleanliness, atmosphere… so many GREAT things about this place. Below I’ve added photos of my order. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I have zero complaints. My order: Buffalo cauliflower well done + beef tacos. I hope this review is the one you’ve been looking for. GO!!! You won’t be disappointed.

My friends and I enjoyed dinner and a paint and sip event at this beautiful spot! The staff was so friendly, the service was fast and amazing and the overall atmosphere and vibe was very clean and aesthetic. The food was amazing as well!

Nice spot in the Sheraton (higher end menu, but casual environment). The food was mildly pricey, but it was very well executed and service was friendly and on the ball. Started with the hummus. It had a nice zing of heat and a pronounced citrus flavor w/o being too strong. I loved the halibut (perfectly seared and simply tasted). And I didn’t know I liked chard till now. The star was definitely the short rib. It was freakishly tender and was served with tagliatelle w/ mushrooms and pearl onions. The sauce was tasty with just a touch of sweetness. It’s a great option for an upscale meal in an easy-going setting.

Carcara is a fantastic way to have a meal while visiting the famous Tlaquepaque Village in Sedona, AZ. Great food, service, and location! A terrific Mexican restaurant will hit the spot for you, just make sure to get here early! I loved the decor and ambience inside this restaurant! And since it's in the shopping village, you don't need to go somewhere else to eat your meal! And you certainly don't want to miss browsing through this beautiful Indian village, one of the highlights of my trip to Sedona! The food was great. What can I say. My black cod with pumpkin flavored rice was absolutely fantastic! It was delicious and I ate every bite. The shrimp and grits were to die for! A pretty generous serving and very flavorful! I like the assortment of bread and spreads they brought out before the meal, a very nice touch I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're stopping in the Indian village to go shopping. It was one of my favorites of the trip, enjoy!

What a ridiculously fun time!!! First, might I tell you guys how AWESOME the 2 Ladies at the front were!? The compliments that they gave me were welcoming and noticed by all! Thanks ladies you are 2 beautiful beautiful humans with great customer service and both had awesome personalities!!! The perfect staff works here folks!!! Our cool waiter was also AWESOME and deserves 7 Months off with pay!!! Our waiter was a vibe, who carried a professional and fun attitude! The waiter took great care of us and deserves every bit of his tips!!! The entire crew does honestly!!! Compliments to the Chef as well! The food was WONDERFUL and peeled apart with juicy flavors! I wanted more more more( In my Chef Ramseys voice) . The food: We had the short ribs which came plated with class and was a great presentation The entire plate was delic!!!! We had the best seat in the house on the patio on a semi cool breezy night! It was just the right crowd! The patio is a vibe in itself!!! I am looking forward to returning here again to have din din and a cocktail or, my limit of 2!!! This will be my new spot to take all of my future guests, dates, boyfriend or husband (whichever comes first) HA Yes yes and yes the perfect spot to laugh, people watch, have cocktails with the fellas/ girls and the perfect date night spot! Makes a perfect engagement spot as well! I love the lemon and orange trees in the vine ceiling of the patio... what a lovely fixture! Thanks for having us! The entire staff deserves an all expense vacation after dealing with a busy hotel evening such as this was!!! What a vibe this is!!! There's plenty of metered parking as well as, free parking all around the area. Walking isn't bad at night as long as, you're with a group or another party. Thanks again guys! Yall ROCK!!!

We visited this establishment while attending a convention in Phoenix, AZ. Let me say, I've visited the Phoenix metro area before but not in July with 100+ degres temperatures, topping out at 116. Anyway, nicely designed restaurant with plenty of vegetation positioned throughout presenting an inviting space. On our visit we began with Happy Hour and blended into dinner. For Happy Hour we went with the buffalo cauliflower and loaded guacamole and charred tomato salsa. The paired these with a Chardonnay and an Old Fashioned. All were delicious. For dinner, my wife opted for the baby spinach salad featuring blackberries, candied walnuts, red onion, cucumber, cheese, and fig balsamic vinaigrette. She added a shrimp tostada. I began with Senoran Caesar salad that was simply delicious! It included romaine, queso fresco, mole croutons, cured tomatoes, and roman Caesar dressing. I added the wild Barramundi which was grilled perfectly with artichoke puree, asparagus dusted with paprika, and taragon brown butter. No complaints, what a tasty dish! For dessert, the whoopie pie trio and cotton dream Bundt, delicious! We sat at the bar and transitioned from HH to dinner. The bartender was great multitasking between serving drinks and tracking food orders.

Just stopped in for a drink and dessert at the bar after a long day. The bartender was super nice and gave tips on where to visit while in town. Got the cheesecake and on my was that decadent. It was so unique in flavor but at the same time felt that comforting cheesecake feel every bite. The place is huge but gets super busy.

love the location and the vibe inside. i've always been a fan of this place. I've been here for dinner which is great. Brunch, however, was even better. We all had espresso martinis with tequila for sunday funday. The crab cake benedict was the best I've had - nice and crispy and flavorful. It was actually filling and i loved the watermelon. We also got free samples of champagne, so I couldn't complain. Great place to celebrate a birthday too! Our server Lilly was the absolute best.

Enjoyed happy hour with friends in the patio after work. We had fantastic service, and the outdoor patio seating is adorable and boho themed. Food was good, but wish we could've had more items. Unfortunately during happy hour, the full dinner menu is not available and the HH menu for food is pretty limited. Otherwise would be interested in trying their dinner menu!

Carcara at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix is a hotel restaurant that's worth visiting whether or not you're staying there. I've been there for dinner, but it's been a while and they change their menus often, so let's talk about brunch. Weekend brunch at Carcara is delightful. It's got a good mix of breakfast and lunch items, plus a full alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink menu. The boards are beautiful and impressively large. We tried the Surf board with two different kinds of salmon plus mini bagels and accoutrements like pickled red onion and cucumbers. I know that Carcara likes to incorporate citrus into its offerings, but I wish that the cream cheese was just plain and not citrus-infused. The pork chile verde skillet with eggs, potatoes, cheese and tortillas was delicious and filling, as was the espresso bacon jam short rib burger. (Don't worry--you can't taste any coffee flavor.) We also tried the Over-the-Top Strawberry Muffin, which was fantastic and more like a strawberry shortcake. Mimosas were on point as well. The one drawback of the meal were the gnats that bothered us--they're drawn to the live tree in the center of the restaurant. But they're not enough of a reason to stay away from this great downtown eatery.

While attending a conference in Arizona, I stayed at the Sheraton and decided to grab a quick bite at Carracas -- and I'm so glad I did! I sat at the bar for quicker service, and the bartender was excellent -- very attentive and friendly. He recommended a refreshing cocktail that hit the spot perfectly. I ordered a classic burger and fries, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. The burger was cooked to perfection -- juicy, flavorful, and well-prepared. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than I expected from a hotel restaurant. Carracas definitely exceeded my expectations. Great service, great food, and a convenient option if you're staying at the Sheraton. Would absolutely dine here again!

Absolutely beautiful location. Love the atmosphere. Came for a dessert reception and everything they had prepared was delicious, and I definitely tried everything that I could! Lovely patio as well and very friendly service at the bar. I would love to go back for a proper meal to try what else they have to offer. The Sheraton is also a beautiful hotel.

Very nice inside, and it's pick your own seating. Very cute for like a date night or girls night out. I sat at the bar and had one drink called the Phoenix, meatballs, and a salad. It was very overpriced but it was a great experience. The restrooms are clean and has nice mirrors. Also its attached to the Sheraton hotel.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, LOVELY AMBIANCE, PERFECT SERVICE! EVen better that we could have the drink and order to go, so we sat pool side!! The salad was fresh, filling and made well. Picture perfect!! Salmon was well portioned and the wings were AMAZING!! Located right aside the Sheraton and accessible front the entrance for hotel guest. I had ZERO COMPLAINTS! The front host had our drinks made while waiting for our food and the sitting area was just perfect. Happy Hour specials were also available.

I was out and about and needed some food. I was a bit hungry and needed a bite. This place was the place I happen to stumble upon.. Great atmosphere. Great seating and lovely customer service. Order was taken, and food was served fast. Don't remember what I ordered (my apologies Carcara). But it was delicious! I will be here again and if you're either staying at the hotel or just walking by.. This is a place to come and check out. Thank you Carcara!

I made reservation for Thanksgiving pre set dinner two weeks in advance when I planned my travel to Phoenix from out of state. When I checked in with them after driving for hours and being exhausted the host's attitude was horrible, no greetings, just rude demeanor. They refused to sit my party of three (a child and a disabled person in wheelchair) 5 minutes early while taking walk ins without reservations while their website clearly stated reservations only. What is it if not discrimination ?!?

This was my first time here. The decor is amazing - bright colors, lighting, spacious. There's a very nice outdoor seating area. I'm with a party of about 20. We were seated upon arrival with more than half of the guests present. The staff were friendly. I ordered the Fork Tender Short Rib without mushrooms. It was delicious. Te meat was very tender. The pasta was cooked well. I enjoyed it. Our table ordered the apple pie and it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We had our server cut it in 4 pieces. I typically do not eat apple pie. This was not super sweet. The crust had a nice flavor. I'm glad I tried it.

Absolutely stunning restaurant. Drove past the outside and decided to go here for breakfast the next day. It was a great choice for brunch. The iced coffees were amazing. Even took them to go. My chilequiles with mole sauce was excellent. Service was wonderful. 10/10.

Amazing breakfast menu. Brioche French toast is sublime. Staff is very nice. They make a good bloody maryt

Yessss, just go. Give it no thought, just go! Loved it! We sat at the bar and received arrive right away. It was first Friday's and we thought it would be busy, which it was, but there was bar seating. We're re restaurants and weren't sure if we'd be able to eat but I lucked upon two seats and sat right down. The bartenders had great service. We made it in time for happy hour and each had a drink and entree. I had the salad and fries (girl dinner), hubs had the wings and thought they were delicious. They smelled good but no chicken for me. Just go. You'll love it!!

I went here for breakfast. They sat me pretty quick. Service was super fast. Toast with sunny side up eggs and bacon and hash browns were delicious! Was very good! Very quick! Ambiance is pretty. I would love to go back for dinner sometime.

We sat at the bar for Happy Hour starts at 4 pm. Great food ,service and enjoying the nice atmosphere .

After a one night stay in downtown Phoenix my husband and I continued our date by riding electric scooters to brunch. @carcaraphx is a beautiful restaurant inside and out. I love a good boho aesthetic. Combine that with good food, perfect weather, and a spacious patio, and I'm a happy girl. We each enjoyed our biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon and sausage. My husband has become a connoisseur of spicy bloody Mary's while I'm becoming the connoisseur of gin cocktails. You can never go wrong with either of those accompanying brunch on a patio. Vibes were 5 star, food was 4 star, but service was 3. The hostess was not friendly and never smiled, barky looking at us. Our older server was sweet and good came out fast, but when it was time to pay our server never returned. He wandered around and we had to go hand the card and check to him Follow @msbusyblonde on Instagram for more AZ fun

What an incredible spot for a work lunch mid week! Beautiful ambiance and space with even better service and food. Our server Allen was so kind & friendly. He provided appetizer & main course recommendations that were delicious with wonderful presentation. We ate them too fast before I took a picture of them! The guac and buffalo cauliflower were delicious!!! The power bowl is huge and filling with healthy enriched ingredients and vegetables. The managers Joe & Arthur even came by our table to check on our experience to ensure that we were enjoying our meal. The drink menu looked fab too but didn't imbibe at lunch, so we'll have to come back!

The best part of Caracara is the atmosphere. There are lots of really gorgeous lighting fixtures, including some red and green glass fixtures over the bar that almost look like apples and pears. The focus is the giant tree in the middle of the dining room with seating all around it. There are some seating areas with sofas to drink cocktails at and a couple of private rooms. The patio outside is lovely, with lemon trees and plants all around and gorgeous basket weave lighting fixtures. We had a reservation and receded immediately under the big tree in the dining room. Our server was good, despite appearing to be very busy. We ordered a couple of cocktails - -the Bale, which was fantastic with coconut, pineapple, and run, and the Haboob, a fruity and spicy drink. We ordered the Caracara Angus Burger, which is served with some of the best smokey seasoned waffle fries I've ever had. A bonus: a donation is made to the Children's Miracle Network every time one of these burgers is ordered. We also ordered the Fermin Iberico bone-in pork chop with peach chutney. Both were really good. Can't wait to get back there when the weather is cooler to sit in that gorgeous patio and try the sticky shrimp, which looked amazing as it passed us to be served to a different table.

I came here on a Friday for my friends birthday party. The service was awful, it took forever to order for our group of 10 + and it was impossible to get our bill after. Beautiful location but the food (sea bass, chicken) was average to below average and small portions. For dessert I got the creme brulee and it was spicy which ruined it for me. Overall a very poor experience. The parking for the restaurant is the hotel parking and is validated. Don't make my mistake and park at the public parking, they won't validate it.

I love the open bar / patio ambiance. Especially this time of the year in Phoenix. They were busy but service was prompt. I love Ceviche but not in AZ. I'm used to Ceviche being a chip dip similar to salsa only with fish. Twice now I've ordered Ceviche in AZ and twice now it shows up more as soup. I'm not a fan. I sat at the bar and the other meals around me looked great. Note to self: Don't order Ceviche in AZ!!

I found this spot around the corner from my hotel and made a reservation for breakfast. They have an attractive menu and the breakfast sandwich I had was messy (runny eggs!) but it was excellent! The decor is very artsy and upscale and I loved the ambiance, even in the early morning. Would definitely return.

Special shout out to Jessica the server. It was my first time having dinner here and she was honest and gave great recommendations on cocktails and food. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower which was delicious but a little heavy on the batter. I think it would be better with less batter. The margaritas are delicious. I got the prickly pear and tried the traditional margarita. Both were great! Lastly we ended with a New York steak strip that came with broccolini and potatoes. This was pretty big so I shared it with my partner. Overall with one margarita, the buffalo cauliflower and the NY steak, I was super full! These put us around $103 after tax. This is also a stunning restaurant. They have a tree in the center with lights, the wrap around bar is perfect to start your night out downtown and they also have an outdoor patio with a fireplace.

Staying at the Sheridan for a conference and decided to give this place a try. The space is open and bright. Unfortunately I can't leave a review, i sat there for an extended period and was never approached by a server. Maybe I'll give them another shot.

I love the large patio! Nice ambiance. Inside, the bar and dining areas are huge. The food is delicious and prepared to order. The staff that I encountered were very pleasant. There is street and garage parking nearby. Accessible entrance.

Went here for NYE and made a reservation. The ambience and interior design of the restaurant is the main selling point. The margaritas are premade but were pretty delicious. The cauliflower had a solid portion for the price but was a little thick on the batter. The potatoes and broccolini that came with the steak were great but I wasn't overly impressed by the steak itself. Splitting it was perfect portion at least. I'd come here to try different meals again. Shout out to our waitress Jessica who was so polite and fun to talk to!

A great meal in a great location. We're always set to be disappointed in hotel based restaurants. This was a very welcome surprise. We booked 8 people for a pre-theater dinner and selected from across the menu. High marks for all, especially the risotto, the elk loin (no, I'm not kidding), and the burger. Special mention from the person who ordered the burger--great burger but even better fries (confirmed by all who stole from his order). Add to that--excellent, attentive, knowledgeable service. Pricey, but worth the cost.

Ordered breakfast. The poached eggs were overcooked. More like a boiled egg out of the shell. Center wasn't soft or runny. Potatoes were over seasoned and over cooked. Sausage was fine. For the price, I expected more.

Food was very good and was brought out really quickly. The restaurant had a very urban and trendy atmosphere.

Drinks we're obviously delicious. My friend and I both had margaritas. Allen was our server today very kind and very attentive will definitely come back thank you!

We were watching the Paper Kites last weekend and wanted to avoid the bustle of First Friday on Roosevelt, so the beautiful scenery of this restaurant is what caught my eye. It's at the bottom of the Sheraton hotel and across from Herberger Theater area so it's actually a quite convenient location to be! Then Piestewa cocktail that I ordered had proceeds that helped kids or similar so of course I ordered it! It was flowery and not too sweet. I loved my pan seared mountain trout on top of a bed of cilantro citrus rice. It was really good! I recommend ordering it especially if you wanted something on the lighter fare but still flavorful and still filling without being dense. My hubby had the burger and enjoyed it too. He wasn't that hungry though and shared it with one of our other friends. It's really beautiful in this restaurant. We sat under a giant lighted tree. The bar had glass blown lighting that looked like hanging apples and other fruits. Really aesthetic and inviting even if just grabbing a cocktail and not eating.

Met up with some former coworkers for brunch, which was of course fun! The location is right inside the Sheraton downtown and the inside is beautiful! Our server, Janice, was great and dealt with all our demands like a pro! She gave us space, but was always around when we needed her. The food itself was pretty good. We shared the scone trio which was delicious! I'm not sure I could choose a favorite...ok, probably the bacon one. Yum! For my entree I had the frittata. It was pretty good. Others ordered the avocado toast, Buddha bowl, chicken & waffles, and the pork belly sandwich. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, though those who got the chicken & waffles said it was pretty spicy. And nobody at our table enjoyed the pickled strawberries. The drinks were flowing and we enjoyed our time. One coworker and I decided next time we come in for Brunch, we have got to share The Surf! We can't believe we didn't think of it before we ordered today. Overall a good selection and tasty food. They do validate parking in the Sheraton garage, which is great too because finding parking downtown is rough!

We came here on a Sunday night and got seated right away. The menu has plenty of dairy free and gluten free options which are clearly labeled. I ordered the sweet potato soup and the cashew risotto with chicken. Everything was delicious! My husband ordered the pork chop and he said it was the best pork chop he's had. The decor inside is both fun and elegant. The service was excellent. I will add this to my list of go to places.

What an incredible experience! We went here format night and were given a great table right under this beautiful tree! And like any magical garden there are magical people. From start to finish Gracie was amazing and took what felt like special one of a kind care of us and let us ask her so many questions while she curated our evening of foods. The starter salad was so large that it could absolutely be a meal but when paced out it's perfectly timed. I had the Cirtus Chicken with roasted carrots and my husband had the short ribs with the most excellent sauce. We ended the meal with a key lime pie and a trio of sorbet - so wonderful! Thank you for everything Gracie. We are so lucky we got you as a server and will be back for sure before our time here in Phoenix concludes.

Maybe it's just me, but if I ask for a regular margarita with a salt rim ($14) and you make my drink with a SUGAR rim, maybe you apologize? The bartender looked at me like I was a nut when I said this isn't salt, it's sugar. Then he took his finger, grabbed some of the rim and tasted it. Then he said, that's sugar. No apology, no nothing. He remakes the drink then sits it down. After I finished it I asked for my check. He tossed a wood plank with my tab, no thank you, no sorry about the sugar, no acknowledgment of me whatsoever. The bar had 3 other people at it, it wasn't crowded. Don't need to come back. A simple thank you is the very least he could have said, but I guess that was a bridge too far for this dude.

Great food. Great drink. But services is super slow. Waited an hour for food. But to be fair I'm sure they were not equipped for the conferancw. But when getting the food it was amazing. Also Management apologized and gave percent off our bill. Big picture enjoy and if they are slow it's still worth it.

I've been here twice now and haven't had anything that wasn't amazing. Last time I came for happy hour and had the wings, steak tacos and bread which were all delicious. I've also tried the chocolate cake, yum! This time I had the shrimp tacos which were a perfect lunch dish. Light but still satisfying. The atmosphere is modern and beautiful. A perfect date night or work dinner. Service is always quick and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

Everything was very beautiful, but I didn't dislike my dish it just wasn't what I expected. Next time I'll get the burger, it looked so good at the table next to us. We shared the pasta and they charged us $6 to split it, which is fine but don't offer to split it if we didn't ask to and then not tell us there's a fee :(

Great outdoor seating if you don't mind the vehicles but you are in downtown Phoenix so what do you expect? My wait person was nice and provided great recommendations. Although my mind was made up. Venue is cool.

First time at this Restaurant - I remember it used to be another Restaurant. Located on a corner and assessable from the Lobby of The Sheraton Hotel. Good food and beautiful indoor/outdoor vibe. Ask for Fernando - fantastic service ! Kitchen was a little slow but it was Friday night and there were a few large parties (We were a party of 7). Also, there are a few semi private rooms. Street and structure parking for a small fee (it's Downtown)

Don't let the restaurant in a hotel deter you. First the ambiance was nice. Large open floor plan and they had the large doors open. It was not hot at all. Huge bar with great selection. Our waitress was great. Felt like we were her only table. Service was prompt, and we never had to look for here. We always had what we needed. She had great drink recommendations. Now on to the food. Chilli rubbed Pork belly appetizer was phenomenal. Crispy and spicy and tender. Pork chop was cooked to order. Thing was thick and tender. Would absolutely go back.

Met some friends here for dinner last night. The vibe is super cool is modern and fun. The interior tree added an extra cool ambience to the interior. We happen to be seated under an air-conditioning vent and it was quite chilly inside. Our server Gracie must've had an off night. She wasn't very attentive and had an attitude. It seems to be a common theme in other reviews as well. Our friends were late but the place was dead so I don't think that was the issue. But you never know. We started off with some tacos, hummus, and wings. The tacos were quite spicy for most of the table. They could not eat them. The hummus was nice with the crackers and good flavor. The wings were excellent, unique flavor and very tasty. Also, the burger and a strawberry margarita, which was good, but if you order a second drink, it does become quite sweet. (that could be a personal thing) All in all we enjoyed most of the food and the atmosphere and would go back again. Ps they have Happy Hour every day!

Everything i have ever eaten here has been so delish! My favorite is their bread plate. I know very random but it is so good. The only drawback is the hours. This is more a me issue. lol the hours do not fit well in my schedule and when they are open they do not have a full menu for the times I can eat here. I work nearby off hours. They usually open later that and I have to be at work. With that said. I do try to run in whenever I can since the food is so darn good. Service has always been amazing to the point they remember my name the next time I come in. Impressive. Pretty patio and decor. It has always been a great spot to eat. The head chef is always innovative and amazing.

The vibe of this place was stunning!! I loved the lighting, decor, and overall aesthetic! Menu is smaller but has some pretty good options! A little pricey for what some of the portions consist of and my margarita was just average! However, the short rib was DIVINE and was a good portion

Zero star. Worst service ever. It took more than 1.5 hour to get an appetizer. No updates no apology when asked about checking on food. Waitress Juslyn passed by the table and ignored us. Manager did nothing. Check was wrong. It is amusing that host told us that Parking was validated for only 3 hours but it did took 3 hours for us to get 4 items of foods. The restaurant wasn't even a quarter full.

This place is really beautiful inside & the positioning of the bar is fantastic. Compliments to whoever designed this lovely place. Reminders of Palm Springs mid century. Service was very good. We came here on New Years Eve & there were plenty of spots for happy hour. Prices were reasonable. I had a glass of Chardonnay & my husband had a pinot noir. We liked them. My wine was an oaky blend, which I prefer. The bartender was able to explain the notes of the wine prior to serving. The food: The guac with chips: The jicama & relished red onion really added to the yummy guac. I would order again. Having said that, we really disliked the accompanying salsa. It was almost like a spaghetti sauce. Not a fan. We also had the Al Pastor Meatballs, and both can't wait to eat these again. These lil guys are packed with an array of flavors that can't be beat! We followed with an amazing budino, that had ice cream covered in an orange chocolate sauce. This dessert was pricy at $12.00, but worth every indulgent penny! I have been to Caracara before, and will return!
