text: Went to Carambas for dinner This was our first time and we went on the recommendation of friendsnnFirst impressions When we walked in about a dozen tables were occupied The restaurant was VERY clean Lots of tables no kitsch decor and an orderpick up at the counter type set up nnThe lady at the counter was friendly and took our order w no problems We asked about ordering chips they are listed on the online menu and the lady said they were included and gave us a couple of bowls of chips along w our drink cupsnnThey have a salsa bar with several different salsas available Medium smooth hot sauce medium chunky hot fire roasted and pico de gallonnThe fire roasted salsa and the medium smooth were good but nothing special The chips however were well past their prime stalennWe ordered a combo plate hard beef tacos combo plate red chile burrito and a bean and cheese burritonnThe food came fast and hot That is about the only good things I can say The red chile burro had a lot of meat and grease but no flavor The red chile it self was very thin and watery The rice was bland The beans had the flavor of being fresh out of a can The tacos were also packed w meat once again without flavor The same bland rice and beans accompanied the tacosnnMy son ate about of the bean and cheese burrito and did not want to take the rest home and I did not blame him He is pretty easy to please when it comes to a bean and cheese burritos and he did not like the beans eithernnMaybe if we would have had one of their margaritas or cheap beer that many people rave about we would have liked it morennI would rate almost any of berto places above Caramba when it comes the the flavor of the food I would rather have traveled down Bell Road to MixtecannMy advice if you want fresh tasty fast Mexican food Go to the nearest CarolinasnnIm giving stars the restaurant was spotless and the iced tea was fresh and very good
