| - Driven by this place numbers of times, but got to experience it yesterday. The sign touts that they make their own tortillas and are the best. I was looking forward to trying this place, and although I'm not willing to write it off (as I like to try things twice before doing so), I can't say that I was really impressed.
I ordered a chicken burrito with green enchilada sauce inside the burrito as a combo. The burrito itself kind of reminded me of the Patio frozen burritos my dad would have in the freezer as a kid. Now, I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but there was certainly no wow factor for me. The burrito filling's texture was that of the frozen burrito, although the chicken was very tender and the tortilla was, of course, better than frozen.
As far as the best tortilla I've had? Far from it.
The salsa was the highlight of Carolina's. Very flavorful and I just wanted to put it on everything!
Beans and rice were the usual tasting filler sides.
The atmosphere of this place was very entertaining. You have to speedily grab a table while you can, as this place is packed! Reminiscent of a cafeteria, but just a little dirtier. I didn't mind in the slightest, and I think it added to the "charm."
With Phoenix being a very big place, I'm sure there's better Mexican to be found.
