Carlos Mexican Kitchen in Little Falls is hands down the best Mexican restaurant around — no contest. From the moment the food hits the table, you know everything is made fresh, authentic, and with serious care. The dishes are bursting with flavor and come in generous portions, so you never leave hungry.
The salsa dips alone are worth the visit— bold, vibrant, and completely addictive. And the corn quesadilla is to die for. Perfectly prepared, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you find yourself craving again the next day.
What makes this place truly special is how the food transports you straight to a local home in the heart of Mexico. It’s warm, authentic, and full of soul. Nothing feels commercial or rushed — just real Mexican cooking done right.
Also a huge plus: there are several great vegetarian options, which are just as thoughtfully prepared and delicious.
If you love authentic Mexican food, incredible salsa, and meals that feel homemade in the best possible way, Carlos Mexican Kitchen is an absolute must.

Always wanted to try this little place. We’ve driven past it for a couple of years. We went for dinner tonight (Sunday). It’s small (maybe 8 tables) , clean and appointed with the Mexican flag on the wall, and colorful table covers and a tv playing Mexican music videos on repeat. Looks promising. We were the only diners. There was a young child playing very very loud video games in the dining room as well. No one came to seat us. I went into the back room/kitchen to let them know we would like dinner. A young woman seated us, then brought menus – standard Mexican fare. We asked if the volume of the video game could be turned down. She tried to shed the child into the kitchen, but let him stand in the doorway. We were literally drowning in little kid video noise. We waited and waited for our order to be taken, had to again go find the server to take our order…
We ordered birria tacos for an appetizer, enchiladas verde and a chicken mole.
She brought some chips (homemade) and salsa- it was fine. The 4 birria tacos were freshly made and tasty. The entrees came and they too were very good. The verde was spicy and fresh. I got 2 beef and 2 chicken enchiladas . The mole came with 2 chicken legs smothered, a tiny cup of unseasoned puréed beans and rice. Homemade tortillas on the side. The tortilla’s were fresh but not light or especially flavorful. Meanwhile we are still listening to little kid video game music. Time to go- the server is totally absent. Went again into the back to request the check. There was no physical check- she just said $46. We paid cash and left. The child actually followed us outside playing his video game music. It was a bust. Not worth a second visit. Food was good but the service was really disappointing. The atmosphere was basically Chuck E. Cheese. So disappointing.

Carlos’s Mexican Food in Little Falls, NJ, is not a bad restaurant. That might sound like faint praise, and it is. But in a world of soggy quesadillas and menu items that taste like they were photocopied from a 1997 Taco Bell ad, “not bad” counts for something.
At this squat outpost on Newark Pompton Turnpike—wedged between a tattoo parlor and the ghost of mom-and-pop shops past—Carlos serves up Mexican-American comfort food with the kind of cheerful indifference that’s as comforting as it is mildly maddening.
Let’s start with the good news: the chips are fresh, the salsa is bright (though suspiciously heavy on the tomato paste), and the staff couldn’t be more friendly if they handed out hugs with every horchata. There’s a warmth here that can’t be faked. It’s the kind of place where every burrito comes with a smile and a “How you doin’, hon?”—which, in Jersey, is practically a Michelin star.
The menu is a novella-length declaration of culinary neutrality. You’ll find tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas—the whole gang. The Chicken Mole Enchiladas arrive bathed in a sauce so dark and mysterious, it deserves its own Dateline special. Unfortunately, the mole’s complexity doesn’t extend beyond “sweet with a side of cloying.” The balance, like a tipsy waiter, is off.
Carnitas, that glorious confetti of pork, should sing. Here, it mumbles. And while the rice and beans are generous, they feel like the culinary equivalent of a shrug. “Here,” they seem to say. “We tried.”
And yet… you’ll probably come back.
Maybe it’s the Margarita mix with just enough tequila to make you forgive the sins of under-seasoning. Maybe it’s the flan, which, against all odds, is creamy, eggy, and delightful—like a surprise ending in a predictable movie.
Carlos’s is the kind of place that isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. Or even rotate the tires. But it doesn’t need to. It’s a neighborhood standby, the kind of place that shows up on your doorstep when your fridge is empty, your mood is low, and your cravings are predictable.
Would I drive an hour for it? No. Would I cross the street? Absolutely. Especially if someone else is picking up the tab.
3 stars — because comfort, even when bland, sometimes earns its own kind of praise.

Great authentic Mexican restaurant. My favorite is the shrimp à la Mexicans with rice and refried beans. Shrimp are usually a nice size and seem to be fresh. Love that the sauce is freshly made. My family usually orders the chicken quesadilla, shrimp or pork burrito, tamales de carnitas just to list a few. This is truly a weekly go to spot for us.

FINALLY!! A place away from home. This is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. Guerrero to be exact. All this food is so delicious. We travel across the country coast to coast every month and when we say this is AUTHENTIC we mean it. All is well portioned and so delicious . We are based in California and will definitely have this restaurant saved up in our GO TO places in NJ I give this place a 10

The food was good and the service was very friendly and fast. The person who ordered tamales said they were delicious and my chimichanga with barbacoa was good, but the two choices of sauce were not my favorite. I opted for verde rather than mole, but it’s a little sour for my usual taste. After the fact I realized that maybe I should have asked if they had a red sauce and maybe he only suggested his favorites. Still, overall the food was very good.

Great food.
Just be careful that when you order chimichanga that it will be drowned in sauce like the one in the photo. If not just order a fried burrito, or a chimichanga with no sauce.
When we ordered the chimichanga at a later date with no sauce it looked so good that we ate the whole thing before taking the picture.
Delicious!
