Carolina's Mexican Food

I went this evening and ordered tacos and a side of pico and the pico was completely rotten rancid milky juice was repulsive I called just to let them know so nobody else gets their pico and the lady was more worried I was going to ask for free tacos. I wasn't was just letting her know. She said well pico is free! No! I paid 1.50 but yeah was rotten never will eat here again 😞 imagine what else they got going on there!

Great experience !! one of the best places to get authentic Hispanic food and it’s not super expensive, excellent customer service and you can’t beat their hours 24 seven baby

Open 24 hours with the drive-thru. The food is really good and you get a good size plate on the combination plate

Service was iffy but got my point in order across, food was the better part of it. They didn't have much accessibility for or to anything outside which is where I sat in the car and ate my meal being from out of town. Overall it was worth it. Limited choices on pop

Last month I got a taco salad that was expensive, the salsa was all onions & the tortilla bowl tasted weird, almost sour, and made my mouth tingle. There was a completely burnt chip stuck to the bottom. Yesterday, my husband asked to go back. He got a carnitas burrito and I got super nachos. I asked if I could get all the toppings in a seperate container (the idea was to keep the chips from being soggy for leftovers) but the girl didn't respond when I asked if that was possible so I thought no. We waited at least 10 mins like always, even though there's no line. They put chicken, cheese, sour cream & guacamole all in little containers. That is NOT what I asked for, and they shorted me salsa, beans & the amounts of what they did give. I was very upset because they still charged us $9.75!! My husband cut his mouth & nearly cracked a tooth eating his burrito, on the biggest piece of bone I've ever seen. It was bigger than my pinky nail! We will never go back, I wish we could get our money back.

Asked for three cheese enchiladas, he was told they sell them in two or one, so I said I’ll have two, was charged for two, but was given just one. Quite a difference between what I wanted and what I got. Make sure to check your order before leaving, although I’m not sure what will happen here if you complain. Beyond annoyed.

The food is always hot and fresh! I love the chicken fries! We love the large horchata with light ice. She had her fave, the rolled tacos beef. With cheese and guac. Always satisfied and never left hungry 😋 This is our go to for quick mexican anytime and always delicious. Very happy!

I don't know what it is, I went to Carolinas as I usually love and enjoy this treat. Today my order was way wrong I always order carne asada Super Nachos and I normally get 2 at a time or more. This time the quality was not there. I have no problem removing grissle or fat pieces here and there but when not just 1 box of nachos had more than a handful but the other nacho box equally had the same issue and it is definitely something I personally don't eat or want to find in my nachos. I was discusted and couldn't even finish the nachos or wanted to even attempt further as every bite had a hard piece of grissle/fat. Disappointed is just an understatement for this and the price alone was over the amount to have this happen!

Food is very good, great prices, and always fresh. Ive never been served food that wasnt hot and fresh. Their beans are one of the best beans Ive beating Esparzas and other taquerias. Their breakfast burritos are top tier! Highly recommend

Food is good. Very old fashioned bbq feel. I believe they are only open for like lunch.

The only Mexican Restaurant that is 24/7 in the area and we love that. We've been coming here for years and even thought the restaurant itself might look a little sketchy and not the best looking, looks are deceiving because the food is bomb. The staff is super friendly too and we've never had an issue with the cashiers or cooks. Like I said the restaurant's appearance might be a turn off to some people but the food is well worth it. Don't judge a book by its cover because you won't be disappointed.

Why does the drive thru take so? I literally ordered a breakfast burrito and it's taken 15 minutes...

Inconsistent service and item availability. Its frustrating. We've been coming here for years but it's time to Move on. There are much better taquerias in the area.

There was a long line in the drive thru. I waited until I was ready to give my order. I ordered a super carne asada burrito. I asked what flavors of juice they served. The lady corrected me saying they had aguas, not juices. The speaker cut out and when it came back I added a medium Jamaica agua to my order. I asked if they accept Apple Pay and the lady said they do. The burrito was big and I requested it to be cut in half. I like how I was asked if I preferred red or green salsa. I asked for and got both. The food tasted good and I would return if I'm in this area again.

The shrimp burrito is delicious!!!The shrimp is perfectly cooked & they don't skimp on the shrimps!! Definitely worth it

Very nice workers and a very tasty California burrito. I'll be back to this location whenever I'm in the area.

We've been going to Carolina's for years they never get an order wrong and the taste and portions are great. Unfortunately lately it's gone downhill. They forgot to put an order in the bag and the taste of both food and drink has diminished the portion is smaller Will be finding a different place for now on

Before the plague, we regularly ate at Carolina's because of the quality of their food. The other day, I ordered the carnitas plate (my fav). Despite the +$, memories of tasty meals made the increase palatable. I was surprised and disappointed with my meal. The carnitas were fatty, a bit unrecognizable, and not savory. The quality of the meat, lack of flavor, and cost makes it unlikely that this was a one-off. Nice memories of meals with my family.

The absolute slowest service. Tried to order over the intercom but had to go to the window for them to just take my order. Even then, took half an hour to get 1 burrito.

WARNING, health and safety issues here! Just observed an employee filling up the Horchata drink dispenser, without gloves, with a cup, from a 5 gallon paint bucket. Yes, her hand went into the bucket, with the cup.

My husband & I went through the drive through about 15 mins ago. We asked for a carne asada torta with the meat picada. You can clearly see that the meat is whole. Not only that the bread was so hard that when he went to take a bite he couldn't! Very upset as this was our "dinner" we had just gotten into town from being away.

RUDE and a scammer! I went to the drive thru and ordered my total was $23.87 when I got to the window she then told me 33.18, I paid it and asked for my receipt. She took a while to bring the receipt. When she came back to the window she said, "Im sorry I charged you for someone else's order let me get you change." She was giving herself a $10 tip.. lmao.. not on my watch. Be aware of this scam.... She knew exactly what she was doing. I was the only car in the drive thru...whose order did you accidentally charge me for. (lol) the ghost car?

Went in their drive through ordered fish taco meal for my 95year old client who was looking forward to having diner. Unfortunately when we got home the fish taco was totally burnt to a crisp. He was absolutely disappointed. Called them to inform them about it and they weren't sorry for it either. I AM NEVER GETTING FOOD FROM THESE GUYS AGAIN!

Did something change here... I've had breakfast burritos with sausage from here before, but never was bell pepper added and onion was very overwhelming not enough egg and the sausage was more like a hotdog not sausage , also was very moist. I had to take it apart to take out all the bell pepper , very disappointed.

Worst service ever! They told me I can't make an order over the phone and need to do it on the website. But their website is down. In person, they were rude women. It's like they're bitter about something. Probably because their restaurant is failing

This is the last time! I am greatly disappointed in the quality of their 24 Breakfast Burrito. Barely and potatoes and bacon, what bacon! And for $12.50! That's at least $3 more than the Greenback location, and they at least are not skimping on equal ingredients. Screwed again, but that's the last time.

We felt like having breakfast burritos last weekend. We read great reviews about the steak burritos. We each ended up ordering the steak burritos. My brother in law really enjoys them also. It was nice to get in and out using their drive thru.

This is the second time I've gotten food poisoning after eating from this restaurant. The first time I had the rolled chicken tacos for lunch and started feeling sick after I had eaten dinner that night so wasn't sure which meal the food poisoning had came from. Fast forward today the second time I have had Carolina's since I had originally gotten food poisoning, and here I am at midnight feeling very sick the carne asada nachos from Carolina's was the only meal I've had today. Now I know that this place has gotten me sick with food poisoning not once but TWICE in the last two times I've eaten from here. Please save yourself the risk of discomfort and sickness that comes with the food from this establishment!

So I live right around the corner and come here at least 2-3 times a week. I always order the same thing. A super burrito and a side that includes grilled chicken, rice, and beans in a small container for my 1 year old daughter. Never have a came across an issue ordering it this way as I always let them know it's for a baby. Today the lady that was helping me was extremely rude and did not want to give me the side because she says "it is not in the menu" and was beyond extremely rude. I understand that but they have always satisfied me as a customer which is what continued to bring me back. Today I was extremely disappointed as it's not hard just adding a small amount of those items to a side container. All you gain from that is a happy customer so what is there to lose? Well now you lost a loyal customer

I love it! Friendly, and a great value for the yummy hangover food The super nachos carne asada were bomb and plenty of food for 2-3 people as a meal Highly recommend!!!

I loved my fish taco meal. It was very well flavored, the fish pieces were crisp and nice and the corn tortillas completed the meal nicely.

getting worse and worse. tried them months ago they were ok next time I got food poisoning

I have been spending my money at this place for over a year - at least once a week. I am a vegetarian, and order my tacos with beans, no meat. They have now decided to charge an extra $1 to order beans, no meat. What? So I am saving them money by ordering beans instead of meat, but they are deciding to penalize by charging more money. They just lost a loyal customer!

Sometimes the line can get long in drive through. Food is great and satisfying. Best part is it's open 24/7, I'm surprised how many restaurants in Roseville close by 8:00pm or 9:00pm during the week.

Ordered rolled tacos with sour cream and cheese. What I got was rolled tacos, guacamole and charged with a side of sour cream. No sour cream check your orders.

Everyone here is incredibly kind, and I always enjoy what I order. The street tacos and rolled tacos are my absolute favorites--no late-night snack can top Carolina's. The line can vary in length, but no matter how busy they are, the staff is always welcoming and makes you want to come back. I usually eat in the parking lot at night and feel safe doing so. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!

This place used to be good about 6m ago. I usually get the chicken torta. This time, meat had some chucks of dark chicken pieces. Hard to chew. Disappointed.

Food is always solid. The wait time is minimal. Saw T-Pain at the venue ... it was lit of course. I wasn't tryna eat at the casino... stopped here on the way back to Sacramento... this is my favorite location for over 10 years. Me and a pal Had the CA BURRITO and babe had a chicken quesadilla... I'm writing this review bummed I ate it all last night. The food was so fresh and delicious... I've always been Abel to get a solid meal from them. Thank you.

2 stars only because they're open 24/7. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Even with proper expectations set for drive through quality Mexican food, this place is disgusting. The tortillas for the tacos were super stale, tasted like they'd been sitting out for weeks. Bean and cheese burrito which is hard to mess up was just a giant folded tortilla with beans spilling out everywhere. Chicken tacos just had huge chunks of chicken thrown on top of tortillas. Plus they got the order wrong. Even if you're drunk and hungry and it's the middle of the night- avoid this place and go somewhere else

Food is great but the extra charge for 2 containers of sauce is ridiculous. Considering you can go any where else and get green and red sauce for free in the same amount. Robbery at its finest LOL definitely check your receipts with this place. They've over charged me many times. This is just the first review I've left.

PROS: Chile Relleno was delicious. Beans were yummy. Carnitas is always good here, with just the right amount of fat. Seasoned well, but not too salty. Rolled Tacos were yummy. Both salsas, Red and Green are pretty good also. Gentlemen who took my order was super nice. CONS: The rice was crunchy...like maybe it was from yesterday. Not fresh at all.

On the basis of their bean & cheese burrito, this is 5 stars, only thing I get here besides the carnitas mini tacos, which are also delicious. Gotta have the bean & cheese burrito & get the red sauce to pour onto each bite.... yum. Green sauce for the carnitas mini tacos. Only issue is that the burritos can vary in size depending on who's working. And the drive thru line can be long at times. As far as I'm concerned, Carolinas has the best bean & cheese burrito in Roseville... and I've tried the others!

I like their chicken, which i usually get in the chicken taco. Their churro and horchata are also enjoyable. Not a big fan of the refried beans in the breakfast and vegetarian burritos, would prefer regularly cooked (boiled) pinto beans. I also like the nee diner area.

The food is great. Too bad the people are so rude. I'm out for a walk and I stopped in to get one of their delicious breakfast burritos. All of the open signs are on, but the doors are locked and the man and woman inside were just ignoring my knocks on the doors while I walked around and tried the other doors. Finally, the woman glared at me and held up both hands, but then turned around and sat with the man at the table. Turn off your open signs then. I'll guess I will walk home and make my own breakfast burrito.

Quick food service but for every 5 visits- we go back at least twice because they mess up an order/forget items. Order a burrito and double check that you say "no sour cream" and then take a bite full of it... or they'll forget your quesadilla and chips entirely. As long as you check before you leave you should be good!

Although the 24/hr options is good, their food is mediocre and the salsa is runny and terrible.

Quite possibly the worst burrito I've ever had in my life. The burrito came with what was supposed to be shredded chicken, but was really two large chunks that I had to shred myself to even out the burrito and a ridiculously large chunk of tomato that came from, I don't know where, cuz there was no pico de gallo in it . And I had to spice it myself to make it tolerable and I'm still upset that I ate only half gave the rest to my dog who didn't finish it. I'm not exaggerating.

I ordered 7 burritos, three of them vegetarian, but the lady said they had no beans. Yet the rest of my burritos came with beans. I requested they slice them in half and she refused. Considering my bill was almost $80, she was not respectful and also not friendly. Burritos were not great and they were so small. Never again!

This will be my second attempt at trying this place. The first time was a couple of months ago, I am very specific with my orders since I have food allergies. I was given a few tacos that I could not eat. No big deal, thankfully I checked and did not make a huge deal of it. Tonight at about 0215am I was yelled at through the loud speaker. I even attempted to call and explain my experience and I got yelled at on the phone. I guess it is just my luck with this place, maybe when I decide to come the workers may be having a bad night. Either way I will never return or recommend this place. Ever ! I'd rather eat at California burrito. They are much better and professional. I am definitely going to spread the word because that was so uncalled for and rude. I just wanted to eat during this long shift. I wish you guys the best. But your customers deserve respect at the least.

Fun staff. Strong, strong drinks. Food is good. Home made tortillas. Came here on date night with my wife and we had a great time.

Went again today ~ 20 minutes in the drive thru with one car ahead of me. Said something to Veronica who was the cashier and she argued with me. Sorry Douglas Blvd. location, I don't need your burrito that much.

This has been my FAVORITE Carolina's for years. I will make the drive 30 min just to get a breakfast burrito from this place. The staff is always nice and their salsa comes in the bigger containers (always just the right amount of spicy).

Came went through the drive thru and ordered 2 tacos chips and guacamole. I went home and instead of guacamole Emanuel put pico de Gallo. I then called to inform them they messed up my order and I wanted to be refunded for the chips and guacamole and Emanuel said that he's only going to refund me for the guacamole unless I drive the 5 miles back to return the chips. I asked for a refund to my card and he said I have to return for a cash refund anyway so I drove back to return my order. I informed him of his poor customer service and he told me to look at it from his side because he can get in trouble. He should get in trouble for messing up a 4 item order and contesting my simple requests to fix a problem that he caused. Honestly Emanuel is a really poor employee and needs to be coached for his pathetic customer service and taught how to differentiate pico de Gallo and guacamole. Maybe I'm being harsh but there is no excuse for that level of service. Next time I'll remind myself to just go to Aldalberto's instead of his ex wife's crappy restaurants!

I ordered the vegetarian burrito for $9.45. Good size. It came with beans, rice, lettuce, and pico de gallo. The pico de gallo wasn't very flavorful, nor was the rice. Lettuce took up a lot of the space in the burrito, so it left me somewhat unsatisfied with the portioning. Chips and salsa for $1, amazing! The red salsa has a good kick to it. Horchata is decent. I came through the drive-thru a little before midnight. I asked for sour cream and they didn't add any. Seems like the workers were somewhat distracted talking to each other. I will say the service was fairly quick though. Based on my first experience, I would only come here for the chips and salsa.

I understand that prices go up, but $12 for a fish burrito filed with lettuce, rice, and beans with a small strip of fish! They used to be $10 with lots of fish... not anymore. Too bad because they were really tasty, but we won't be going back.

This place has the best breakfast burritos. They use those kind of tortillas that are a bit transparent. Love it. The #25 steak breakfast burrito is the best and the places serves them 24hrs a day.

SCAMMED. The owner must be racist or something because when it comes to me, he goes out if his way to cheat me. My $5 large drink is not only watered down but if I order it with no ice he puts a small cup inside a large up. Never support corrupt and deceptive business practices! This was good food but greed has ruined it. 0 starts if I'm being honest because I eat here everyday and the regular staff are fine, but when the owner shows up the place goes two steps beyond Complete Shit. He swindles you for every penny he can. To Hell with that man!
