I think I remember a Dairy Queen in this building some years ago, followed by a series of businesses that never made it. I'm hoping Carlito's sticks around because they serve tasty Cuban food at a great value. They don't accept credit cards, so bring cash.
It's cafeteria-style and a great alternative to fast food when you're short on time and looking to spend around $5 on lunch. The patio seating out front had a good crowd at lunch time. I didn't see any written menu available, so I just selected from the prepared options on display. When it comes to Cuban food, I really only eat black beans, white rice, fried plantains, and guava pastries. They have the traditional espresso machine behind the counter, so I'll be back for some sweet Cuban coffee.
