★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Botts · Nov 2025

If it wasn't for my wife's strange obsession with their queso & chicken fingers with honey mustard, we would be unlikely to visit a Carlos O'Kelly's. There are lots of better options.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shawn Fay · Oct 2025

Had a wonderful experience here. Chris was a very efficient & friendly server. Very attentive. You need more like her. Mindy & rest of the staff was very helpful & friendly also. The food was affordable & delicious! It was ready faster than any restaurant I've been to recently. I definitely recommend this place!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kristi Allen · Feb 2024

It was a late lunch early dinner for us. You walk in and seat yourself. We sat for a while while they decided who was going to take the table. I did what Mom always said and ate dessert first. Raspberry Cheesecake Empanadas. I had them leave off the sprinkles. Yum. My table had a taco salad, chimichanga and two enchiladas. Chicken enchiladas one diablo sauce which was ok on creamy sauce one which appeared to have some melted cheese on it but definitely not creamy. None the less all tasted ok. Their soda/pops were very large glasses. It was very quiet and an enjoyable space. Restrooms clean.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Carrie Cummings · Oct 2025

Our appetizer was served with our meal. It took a little while to get our drink order and food ordered. I had the fajita cheese crisp as an appetizer it was ok. My chicken pacado (spelling??) Was ok. I got fries (bland unseasoned) and traditional rice, it look as if it was scrapped off the bottom of a pot that had been cooking all day. It completely killed my appetite. The waitress and manager were both kind and took the food off our bill and discounted our meal as well. Service was slow but acceptable, food quality has gone down hill. But I appreciate that my concern was addressed.

★★★★★ 5.0 Anna Courtney · Oct 2025

My waitress was super nice. She was very attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out hot and delicious. Loved the chips and queso were my fave. Will be back
