| - I had an excellent meal at Carrburritos tonight. I stopped by several weeks ago and did not realize until I got inside that it was the grand opening. My impression of the place that night was not the best, but I also knew that opening night is always a tough one in the restaurant business. People are nervous, things are still being figured out, etc. So I knew I had to come back a few weeks later to get a better idea of how things are.
I'm very happy to say that Carrburritos will be a place I return to and recommend to friends. I am generally not a huge fan of quick service Mexican restaurants for the following reasons:
1) Same old boring menus.
2) Food is bland.
3) Food is not kept at proper temepratures, resulting in food that is not only bland but lukewarm,
4) Iceberg lettuce everywhere.
Fortunately, these issues do NOT exist at Carrburritos, if my meal tonight is any indication. The only exception is that I saw some "Mexican Rice' that looked bland and lukewarm. Aside from that, everything looked fresh and tasty.
I ordered two crispy corn shell tacos- one filled with roasted veggies, the other filled with chorizo sausage. I also ordered chips and a side of queso sauce, which is a new item on the menu. At the suggestion of the line cook, I got sour cream on the chorizo taco and cheese on the roasted veggie taco. Or it may have been the other way around. I was too busy devouring them to remember! :) Both of the tacos were outstanding. The chorizo was delicious and very spicy. The roasted veggies were bursting with flavor, very fresh and vibrant. There are a variety of other choices of fillings, which can be ordered for any of the other items- burritos, quesadillas, etc.
The chips were fresh, crispy and very tasty, and the queso dip was so good that I unabashedly ate it all with a fork after my dipping was done. I would have poured some onto the tacos but again, I was too busy devouring them to have thought about that. Next time!
Oh, and the tacos were served with plenty of lettuce and tomatoes- it almost looked like I was getting a salad when they served them to me- and guess what? NO ICEBERG LETTUCE! YEEE HAA!!
I also chose the spicy Habanero salsa to go with my tacos, but I really didn't need it, since the tacos already had plenty of flavors and textures.But the salsa ws good. It was VERY good.
So to go back to my list of things I dislike about quick service Mexican restaurants, let me say that the food here is very fresh, the flavors pop, the menu is creative, and the absence of the iceberg lettuce warmed my heart.
They also have a full bar here. I'm not a drinker, but if you are, I think you'll be quite satisfied.
Carrburritos is a welcome addition to Davidson and if they maintain the quality of food and service that I experienced tonight, they will be around for a good long time. Welcome, Carrburritos!
