Carlito’s Burritos

Just delicious… It was our first time, and we ordered SO MUCH food because everything sounded delicious, and it did not disappoint… even our daughter’s hotdog was amazing quality! The service was good, and they were very friendly!

Very unwelcoming environment. Awkward setup, don’t bother coming here unless you enjoy being ignored.

We come here all of the time and it’s amazing. We love the owner he is always hands on and that’s why this place stands out.

I have been enjoying the food here for years. The new location and addition of the BBQ is a real plus. I am not sure when it happened but they recently added some items on the menu. Most notably for me was the chili relleno’s. I have long been a fan of chili relleno’s and am thoroughly impressed with the Carlitos version. Unlike traditional chili relleno’s I have experienced here in Vegas these are deep fried to a crispy crust and are not served with sauce unless ordered (with either red or green). The honesty of the chili is highlighted by simplicity of this dish. If your looking for bold chili flavors you will be happy with Carlitos.

Heard about this place from my husbands mechanic, let me say this place was amazing. Ample seating, serves liquor. My husband had the stuffed chicken sopapilla, I had the pork verde burrito smothered in green sauce. OMG flavor was amazing, every bite kept getting better. For $ 3 more you can have a side of rice, beans, salad, or pozole there was an additional cost for pork pozole for. 65 on top on the $ 3 let me tell you I will never step foot in La Bonita again to get my pozole, flavor was incredible. It also comes with a sopapilla on the side, we couldn’t even finish the food we took it home. The staff was very friendly. I wanted to kiss the cook for doing a amazing job. We will definitely be back and spread the word of this amazing restaurant!

I’ve been going to Carlito’s since they were on Patrick Ln. Food quality is still superb. I recommend the stuffed sopapilla

I’m a fellow New Mexican and was extremely excited to have some real chile and New Mexican cuisine, but I think my bias let me down and I was disappointed in the food here.
We tried the Frito pies here, which was mostly a heaping plate of Fritos with a few beans and some red chile. It needed more variety with fresh veggies (but again I’m biased and used to making this at home). At home we use a little bit of Fritos and more beans and meat and chile topped with cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato and some sour cream on top. This was mostly chips and chile and was so heavy to eat that I only had a few bites before putting it aside.
I was also very excited to try the Indian tacos, which were just «ok» but again lacked the fresh veggies and just lackluster in flavor.
The green and red chile were not up to par either.
I’ll just continue to make my own at home, sorry.

I was desperately looking for a good breakfast burrito on a Sunday morning, I started Unilocaling on my phone and came across Carlito’s. On Sundays they have 2 for 1 breakfast burritos which is so unheard of. I ordered the ham breakfast burrito with extra ham and a carne asada burrito. The ham was GREAT! This one on its own gets 4 stars! The carne asada however was an epic fail! With carne asada being a staple it is suppose to shine in its own way, and if you can’t get it right in a burrito there is no hope LOL! This burrito gets a one star because of the taste and because I got food poisoning!
I wouldn’t come back here, these kind of places are a hit and mess and I haven’t been overwhelmed with the few that I have tried but doesn’t matter since I’m on my way out of this place!

So we got here 630 sat waiting for our food til 730, when I asked for someone to check our order I guess it got lost skipped misplaced. Not sure what happened. The lady that took my order went to the register to look it up. She said the printer went down. They compd our meal and gave us chips and salsa. Will update review after we get our meal
Ok so after meal update food was very flavorful. Little spicy had me sweating. Will come back will just keep an eye on our order. Will try red sauce next time.

Food was awsome! Drove from the Summerlin area and it was well worth the drive. It was my first time there so I ordered a few things off the menu. Stuffed sopapilla with pork smothered in green chili, smothered fries with pork, and a red pork tamale. The pork was tender and spicy very good just what you would expect from New Mexico! Staff was friendly and full bar. I will be back

Flavor was good, food was cold. Not only did they mess up my order, but never processed my son’s. Had to re-​order his nachos which were processed in line with everyone who came in after us. After sitting at the table for 5 min with our food his was finally delivered. Cheese wasn’t even pull apart stringy like fresh nachos should be. Husband said it was like they had a time machine– they knew what you were going to order and then put it in the fridge for you to keep it fresh.
Don’t think we’ll be back. Shame too… Dining room was nice and food has potential. Very disappointed

I was at your establishment Monday at 5:30 Pm
I can can give you discription of the three employees that kept walking past me while I stood at your counter if you like, since I apparently had time on my hands.

Excellent food. I like the new location too. The grilled veggies are amazing as everything here is!!! So happy that we discovered this gem!!!

I came here because I was craving for some breakfast burritos. I ordered the breakfast burrito and the only thing that was good about it was that it was massive.
I think it should have more veggies than meat. It didn’t even come with all the goods such as sour cream and onions or salsa.
The «smothered» just comes with a whole bunch of green chile sauce and cheese. The taste just is overwhelming of green chile sauce. I wouldn’t come back for the burrito.

Stopped by today on way to the airport. About 10 minutes past McCarren but so worth the detour. A must visit if you love Santa Maria Tri-​tip. The best I’ve ever had.
It’s this wonderful mix-​up of Mexican and dry rub Q. Full bar, the kind of chips and salsa you crave later and on open kitchen where it happens.
We had the tri-​tip sandwich with comes a great slaw and beans. Huge value. But, the star is the beef and the chicken my wife had. Super moist and almost (haha) as good as my sammie! Which was packed with meat.
Rumor has it the best breakfast burritos in town come from here so next trip I’m driving and stopping here on the way out.
I love finding these local spots. Truly good well made fresh food.
Nice!!!

Stopped in for a breakfast burrito. I love them here. Sometimes I get them smothered, sometimes not. I love the crunchy potatoes in them.
They’ve added Santa Maria style barbecue. I didn’t try any of that. Note: Santa Maria style barbecue is not barbecue. It’s really a style of grilling. It popularized the tri-​tip roast. Hopefully, we’ll give it a shot on my next visit to Vegas.
Great newer location with plenty of seating.

We had a crew of 7 at lunch, it wasn’t too busy when we arrived but by the time we left it was packed.
Nice size restaurant, it was our first time in so it was a little confusing, they made us pay first, some of us went to sit while we poured our own drinks. By the time everyone got to the table our food was being served. They got a couple of our orders wrong, which they gladly fixed but it was difficult at times to get a waitress. Over all we liked the food. Chips were yummy with the seasoning. I got a carne adovada taco, I didn’t like it the meat didn’t have much flavor and even though it was in sauce it was dry. But the Shrimp Taco was the complete opposite, so good, I will get that again. I had to get a Cinnamon Sugar Sopapilla, made me smile, fluffy, warm, fresh. Shrimp tacos and sopapillas FTW!
I will return, the BBQ side should be open and I’ll get to sample that as well. Hopefully they fix their glitches and thrive in their new location.

you know a place is good when the restaurant is in a slow plaza and theres hella cars only in front of the restaurant. this is Carlitos. I’m glad i found this place because it is now my favorite mexican restaurant. very inexpensive and a big bang for your buck.
make sure to make it a meal for only 3 bucks more. comes with your choice of pinto, refried or black beans, rice and their bomb ass sopapilla! make sure to drizzle that with honey. enchiladas is my favorite so far with the pork verde. chips, salsa, and guac is a very good appetizer.
thanks for existing! ill be back soon. very soon.

Good burritos and sauces. I went during the week to try their Chili Relleno special and I would NOT recommend it. Stick with the burritos and sauces. Other members of my family love this place though.

This is Las Vegas’s most amazing southwest inspired restaurant ever. I rarely eat in, but this new location has such a nice ambience that I just had to dine in. The place was busy, looks like they have a solid customer base. They also have great staff with amazing customer service. You feel like you’re one of the regulars. The menu here will keep you coming back for breakfast, lunch and supper. Their breakfast burritos are huge and delicious. Their sopapillas are flaky and addictive. I absolutely love their Green Chile Stew and their Posole with Pork. Filled with Flavor and spicy!

Carlitos for the win!!! I can’t remember having a better burrito maybe ever in my life.
The crazy part is Ive been eating here for 5 years and never reviewed this place before.
Carlitos is always great food. Like The type if food that after you eat it leaves a smile on your face because it was so good and was exactly what you had pictured in your brain when ordering.
My biggest problem when eating here is that I cant eat more. The burritos are huge.
The fajitas on fridays are probably the best I’ve had in Vegas as well.
Now lets talk about the new location.
Awesome! So much bigger and a great lay out. And on a personal level so much better for me because its like a block from my house.
They have a nice bar and looks like 6 beers on tap to choose from and a few bottles as well. Looks like they have a few wines too.
I obviously recommend giving this place a shot of you haven’t.

I love the new location. Plenty of room, new and clean interior, new furniture. Real plates (though funky metal things). Same food, better surroundings. It can get better!

This place is back and better than ever. Their new location is beautiful and the food quality is excellent.
My go-​to item is the Breakfast Burrito with no meat (eggs, cheese, red sauce and hash browns). The hash browns make a huge difference. Most places give you potatoes, but there is something about the crunch in Carlito’s breakfast burrito that keeps me coming back.

Wow, since moving to the new location things have gone seriously downhill! The $ 3 awesome margaritas are now $ 4, made with cheap tequila and a smaller glass. I would always get the same thing because I loved them, 2 cheese enchiladas and a pork tamale, now it seemed like there was 1 slice of cheese in each, and the tamale which usually has a thin layer of maza and lots of yummy pork now has a ½ inch and bare minimum meat. Plus we waited over 30 minutes for our food! Table next to us, ½ of them never did get their food and ended up leaving. The cashier clearly had worked s register long, maybe that’s because he was also the bartender and the drink server so you also had to stand there for 15 minutes while he ran around! Extremely sad, I used to love and rave about this place, but I won’t be back now :(

Went from 5 stars to 2 since they moved. I told everyone they need to go to this hole in the wall place for great authentic Mexican food and excellent $ 3 margaritas. We just went to the new location and were sadly disappointed. Tamale now mostly masa. Burrito with very little meat. We always got same things. Cost $ 23. Same meal now $ 43. Margaritas more expensive and not very tasty. Very tart with lower grade Tequila. Bigger is not always better.

The customer service was amazing! I went to the take out side! This girl, that took my order, was amazing! I liked her service more than the food! I got the small nachos, and ordered a burrito for my husband. Wow, so much toppings on my nachos, you have to eat it with a fork! It had that old fashion Mexican food taste. The chips were fried in house! It was really good. My husband really liked his burrito as well. I could see us coming back in the future! Specially right before a movie at the Galaxy Theater, this place is in the same shopping center, behind Joe’s Crab Shack! My GPS, had me doing circles!

My friend and I both got diarrhea after eating breakfast here.

Serious customer service issues since relocating. Whether or not the food is good, doesn’t give you the right to be rude. This is the second time I’ve called (two different days) to place a pickup order, and she answers the phone and puts me on eternal hold. I can hear a whole-​lot-​of-​nothing going on in the background before I give up and hang up. So when I come in and u ask me if I called in and I tell u «I tried.» don’t play dumb like the phone isn’t working because your boss is standing right there. Yeah you’ve been getting calls, but you don’t tend to them.
Hire some more staff, because the ones you have are obviously overwhelmed.

The red and green chiles here have always been my favorites. Bursts of flavor with a little kick! Love it! What I love even more is their new location! Bigger and better! Live music on the weekday I went! There’s a full service bar too.

– NEW LOCATION! Strip mall on Sunset Rd/​Green Valley Pkwy, Joe’s Crab Shack is your visual cue on Sunset.
– Carlito’s Burritos shares dining area space with their new bbq restaurant Live Fire Q (debuting this month)
– Fast/​Casual style restaurant To Go or Dine In orders
–here’s the drill–
To Go — place your orders with cashier on Carlito’s Burritos side of the restaurant
Dining In — step on over to the dining area side shared with Live Fire Q and place your order with the cashier at the bar. You’ll be assigned a number and you orders will be brought out to you.
I didnt see any menu boards, so grab one of the paper menus at the register.
–Food–
– New Mexican Cuisine
– Portions are HUGE. Served in deep dish tin pie plates if you are dining in.
– Prices super reasonable! Even better, you get 5% off on every purchase if you are part of the Frequent Diner Rewards Program. So sign up for it,
Lately I go for the tamales, smothered in green chile sauce and cheese! Mmmmm. Stuffed Sopapillas stuffed with tender carne adovada (NM style pork) is REALLY good too.
– Take advantage of spending an additional $ 3 more for choice of 2 sides and a sopapilla! That fry bread dough is magical! Have it drizzled with honey, or sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, order it as a dessert (Sopapilla Dulce) with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
– Breakfast is served all day! Breakfast burritos are the bomb here too! So are the meat burritos. The regular size is plenty enough. Double meat size (+$ 2) ones are ginormous! And dont forget to smother those too!
Oh and once their Live Fire Q restaurant is up and running, they’ll be serving up Santa Maria style bbq daily. No more waiting for the weekends.
Also new is the computerized soda fountain. It’s touch screen and has many different soda drinks and options for flavors.
–Ambiance/​Service–
Feels more festive. More spacious for sure. More busy too. But CB crew can handle it! Eileen is awesome and so is Ashley. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
– Summary –
Already was a fan, and this new spot they moved into made me a bigger fan. Cant wait till they fire up the grill!

All I can say is delicious !! Can’t wait to come back and try different items. Pork burrito was the best prom burrito I have ever had and the chili verde also

I’m came for the soft grand opening of the new location for Carlito’s Burrito.
The spot is a lot bigger than the old location, so that’s good.
Based upon the reviews, I had to try the smothered Green Chile Verde Pork burrito.
I came to the conclusion that there has to be something else people are eating that makes this place rave because this just tastes meh! to me. It really is spicy and the pork is cooked well, but there is no depth to this burrito. I also felt the it had an excessive amount of salt, which probably drowned lot of the natural flavor.
I may go back to try another item on the menu, but this one didn’t work out for me.

Went to the new location this morning and was pleased with the new spot… I chose the steak n egg quesadilla hoping for a smaller portion than the normal huge burritos they serve… I was happy with the heat of the green chiles and just right portion of proteins too…
Slightly awkward layout right now but I’m sure once they get all settled in the logistics of ordering on the LIVE FIRE Q side will make sense…
Good thing I don’t live closer because I’d for sure be eating here more often!

We are always on the lookout for green chile smothered burritos. We had been here a few years ago, and being back on this side of town we had to try it out again to see if it was as good as we remembered it.
YES! It absolutely is, and it actually seemed a bit better. On Sundays they have buy one breakfast burrito, get one free. I believe that it is for just their breakfast ones… which they sell all day. I got the bacon with green chile, and smothered in green chile. My husband got the chorizo the same way. The woman at the counter was not really the most friendly, either that or she was super busy. I could not really tell. There was us, and she had just put the phone down. No smile. As a matter of fact, the only thing she asked was ‘red or green’…meaning the sauce. We sat and waited while they were made. We took these to go, and had to endure the smell of them on the drive home.
These things were huge. So big that we saved some (okay, most in my case) of it for later in the day. There was so much filling of eggs, hashbrowns and meat. Nicely smothered in a spicy sauce. These were exactly what we were craving. If you are looking for a big, super filling breakfast burrito then look no further. You can get it smothered for $ 1 extra in either red or green sauce.

My husband and I absolutely love this place. My husband is from New Mexico and couldn’t get here fast enough once we learned of this place. I was excited as well since I learned to appreciate the Hatch chile on visits to New Mexico.
This little restaurant is packed pretty much all the time which isn’t shocking if you’ve had the food. The people that work here start to remember you and that is refreshing in an anonymous town like Las Vegas. One Saturday I arrived after the rib special was sold out and the woman working here remembered me the next week and made sure I got one of the specials.
The food is the real attraction though. My favorite thing here is the Saturday night special which is Red Chile Adovada ribs with green chile cheddar mashed potatoes and calabacitas. I love to pair this with the $ 3 margarita. Seriously, the margarita is $ 3 and it packs some punch. We also love the Frito Pie which is big enough for two. If you’re familiar with Green Chile Stew then you should try it here because it won’t disappoint. It packs the heat that Green Chile Stew should have.

Went in to order food to go last night. Placed my order and after about 15 minutes I could see what I thought were my 2 stuffed sopapillas being placed under the heating lamp. So, I decided to watch and wait… for 10 minutes.
Then the waitress bagged up our food and passed it off to me. I mentioned something to the waitress about the food being under the heat lamp for 10 minutes and she just walked away. I was gonna raise hell but after waiting for 25 minutes I wasn’t going to have them remake it because they were so freaking slow in the first place and I don’t like the idea of spit in my food.
I drive home, a total of 3 minutes, and found cold, gluey, gross sopapillas with congealed, greasy cheese and a complete lack of green chile. Disgusting!
Never, ever, ever again.

+1 Green chile everywhere, on everything!
+1 Menu has Frito Pie and Indian Fry Bread
+1 Sunday special is BOGO breakfast burritos
+1 they serve beer and margaritas too
This place deserves a second location, it’s that good… and that busy! The food is stick-​to-​your-​ribs good, so definitely come on a cheat day. There’s cheese on everything, and gigantic portions, so you’re not getting out of here under a thousand calories.
Menu has a good amount of variety but my favorite is the stuffed sopapilla (pork verde please!) topped with the green chile. The Santa Fe Slider is a fairly unique offering, consisting of a slider-​size burger patty folded into a tortilla and topped with green chile relish, spicy mayo, and cheese.
