I recently came back to Carambas for lunch. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla, Caramba Nachos, green chile burrito, bean and cheese kids meal with rice and beans, and horchatas.
The bill came out to 44 bucks with a tip. Not bad for the amount of food we were given. Unfortunately, the kids meal didn't come with a drink which is a bit of a rip off but what are you going to do let your child die of thirst in the desert?
Hit up the salsa bar while waiting for our order. They have about 6 or 8 salsas you can try out for free. They were all decent but lacking heat and spices in my book.
Food came out and it was pretty good. The carne asada quesadilla was probably the best. So huge it came on a pizza pie tray. Would have been nice to have some sour cream and guac with it.
The nachos were probably the low point of all the food. Shredded meat and nacho cheese sauce drowned any prayer of biting into a crunchy tortilla chip.
The green chile burrito had a good flavor but would have been better if the shredded beef was cubed and cooked down to a nice tender green chile like chunk the the rest of the green chile world would recognize. The shredded beef was tough and needed to absorb more chile flavor.
All and all this place deserves a 3 as it is okay. While I wouldn't strongly recommend it to others it is far better than a one star review.
