Love this place! Everything is good!
Every time we go, I try something different and always leave with a happy belly.
The vibe is chill. The people are chill. And just because bar is in the name doesn't mean you have to order alcohol, it's for foodies!! (*the watermelon margarita is delicious though♡)
Yes, get the papas, I'm obsessed.
Thank you Bar Carlo for always serving up delicious!!♡♡
Brunch, Brunch, Brunch!!!
I only have had breakfast/brunch here.
Bar Carlo is big, open, bright and beautiful to hang out in, good for meeting up with a medium-sized group. Parking is decent, on-street.
When I've been there, there was only one server but she was awesome, friendly and attentive.
The menu has lots of interesting Mexican-style brunch options but you can also get basic American eggs/pancakes-type stuff. Everything is hot, high-quality and very well-prepared in general. Your plate comes out looking very appetizing and the portions are perfect for me (medium/large appetite).
One interesting thing is the menu is low-key very veg/vegan/gf friendly. They have some meat stuff that looked great but the menu is not meat-centric. Most dishes are default without meat and you can add it if you want. I have no eating restrictions (I eat anything) but it just so happened that what I ordered was meatless and gluten free and was still amazing.
I didn't get any alcohol when I was there, but the coffee was excellent and bottomless (self-serve).
Also, if you are a fan of interesting hot sauce, make sure and ask for some of the house-made hot sauce on the side of whatever you get. It is INCREDIBLE and unique and goes great on potatoes or tortillas or whatever.
Finally a shout-out to their rice (which seemed exceptional) and, weirdly, the eggs. I order eggs over hard, which many kitchens seem to not understand but this kitchen does them perfect!
Way better than I expected. I thought this was a dive bar for four years but it turns out to be a great Mexican restaurant with an empty bar. People watching on Foster St is never a bore.
