"Caro's is a genuine taquería, not just another chain Tex-Mex restaurant. It's a local family-owned spot that I've been visiting since it first opened. Having spent considerable time in Mexico, I can attest that the spices and flavors here are truly authentic. If you've been misled by places like Taco Bell or overpriced eateries near cruise ship ports in Mexico, thinking they represent Mexican cuisine, then feel free to stick with those Americanized franchise Tex-Mex options."

Our fajitas were good. My enchiladas were of a low quality. I didn’t eat them. Pricey for what you get compared to other Mexican restaurants. The staff was friendly and professional View menu

The best steak tacos I've ever had, without a doubt! The steak is incredibly flavorful! This is authentic Mexican cuisine at its finest—complete with thin, crispy homemade tortilla chips! The salsa verde is amazing! The service was fast and friendly; from ordering to having our food delivered to the table took no more than 5 minutes. Prices are very reasonable too! I highly recommend this place!

This was my first time in Caro's. The staff was very polite, a gentle helped me to order and answered all my questions about the menu. I had the taco plate. Omg it was amazing! There is a wide meat selection as well as a broad menu selection. I would recommend everyone to go check it out you will not be sorry, if anything you will be back for more food and bringing your friends. Thank you Mrs. Mari for suggesting I try it. I am now in love!

"This place really helped me adjust. I later learned that people gravitate towards certain bars, and I found my favorites, especially those with live music like Birchmere, Black Cat, 9:30 Club, Lincoln, Capital One Arena, and even the now-closed O'Shaughnessy's and Rock & Roll Hotel. One of my most memorable experiences was running into Rory Sheridan on one of my first visits. He was launching his DC music campaign back then and was part of Loud Boyz. We chatted a few times, and I even caught up with some old classmates. Another highlight was when I heard about a “reunion” night before Thanksgiving, and I decided to crash it. There were moments where people could be unkind or I felt out of place, but I was given some guidance on where I would fit in better, without the unnecessary drama. Being in Old Town, I was familiar with nearby schools like West Potomac, Mount Vernon, and Bishop Ireton. During my visits, I would often take an Alexandria cab or use Metro Access, being discreet about my disability since I felt embarrassed at times. Being a regular meant navigating the tourist scene, and there were people who seemed territorial about the place, but I ended up doing quite well when I sold my house. Good times continued with events like watching RG3 play for the Redskins or meetups organized by JT. I enjoyed New Year’s celebrations and weekend outings. I also frequented other establishments like Flying Fish before it closed, and O'Shaughnessy's before I decided to stop drinking. This is a sports bar located near a bicycle shop, close to the Ben & Jerry's I used to work at, along with many other walkable bars for bar hopping, like Union Street Pub and Fish Market. It can be a great place to have fun, but with the good comes some downsides. Overall, I felt well-hosted and respected here, despite some things I was not initially aware of or didn’t want to uncover."
