What kind of barbecue joint doesn't have any barbecue sauce?! This one.
Menu is limited but I guess the meats are good- the tri tip at least was relatively thick cut, pink in the center, and nicely seasoned in the Santa Maria style. It's good, splurge for the half-pound. However, the sandwich consists entirely of meat and dry bread. You can pay to add green chiles and/or cheese (in keeping with the NM theme of the Carlitos menu), but there is no sauce available at all, not even by request. Cashier was super apologetic about this and mumbled something about it being the chef's choice? If this is done for the sake of authenticity, then a Santa Maria style salsa should be an option instead. As served, the sandwich itself tastes incomplete- good, but plain.
Sides of (ranch style?) beans and a vinegar-based coleslaw were otherwise fresh and amply portioned.
