"Wow : O ...I'm actually surprised to see two negative ratings about Carlos', but I guess even the old favorites I have around town can be off on certain days? Carlos' is located in an older, but quaint little building off the Old Seward Highway in South Anchorage. The front door cracks me up everytime I go inside or out since it's positioned right in front of a stucco pillar that you'll walk smack dab into if you're not paying attention. To me, that's just part of the rustic charm of the old place. The owners are almost always on site and they, as well as the staff, are incredibly friendly! They are johnny on the spot to refill your chip basket or salsa containers as soon as they run low. Since I like more cilantro than they put in the salsa, they always bring me a small dish of fresh chopped cilantro. :o) .... Some of our favorites are the combo platter, the Senorita Supreme, the chimicangas, the spinach enchiladas, etc.. Also, I have to give major kudos to the owner who is quite a pillar of the Anchorage community. He cares a lot about his restaurant, but he also cares a great deal about the city he lives in. Update from my 2009 review: August 26, 2015 (because I haven't been on Yelp in eons)... Wow, Carlos has started to decline since my rave review before. I'm not sure if it's more competition or what, but it's sad that an old neighborhood joint like this seems to have seen its better day. Maybe they changed cooks? Maybe they're too busy with their other business ventures? I'm not really sure. What I am sure of though is that for me, it went from a great place to eat at to mediocre at best. Bummer. :0("
