    Loved dining at CaraCara! The table side guac is 10/10 and the chicken tacos are a must. The sangria and margarita were also very good. The service is great and wait staff very friendly and attentive.

    Our waiter was very attentive & totally on. Table side guacamole was delicious & he even made some without the cilantro for one of our guests who doesn’t like cilantro. If you like spicy drinks, I definitely recommend the Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita. So good. Their versions of Fajitas were liked by all & the Tacos Camarones was tasty.

    My experience at caracara was very nice. We had the guacamole for starters. We also had  Tacos De Camarones, Quesadilla, and  Nachos De La Casa with shrimp. For drinks we had frozen sangria, espresso martini, and margaritas. Everything was great. The waitress was extremely kind and pleasant. My friend did not like her first entree so the waitress took it back nicely and gave a recommendation that turned out to be good. Overall the service was great and the food was good. Everyone was nice and checked on us throughout our dinner. Definitely recommend.
