What to Order at Carlitos

The menu runs from appetizers and bowls through burritos, chicken dishes, chimichangas, enchiladas and fajitas, with a kids menu and desserts. Reviewers point to the fajitas, and one order stands out: the Carlitos Hawaiian, shrimp and jalapeño wrapped in bacon over chicken, beef and shrimp fajitas, served in half a pineapple. Others praise the birria tacos, the guacamole, the large queso, the Texas rice, which is arroz con pollo topped with steak and shrimp, and the Verde and Bandera burritos. Chips and salsa come to the table free.

Margaritas and the Bar

Carlitos has craft margaritas, including 24-ounce pours, and a full bar. A couple of reviewers found the pour light or the margarita a little salty, so ask how it is made if you have a preference.

The restaurant accepts reservations through a form on its website, or call (843) 715-0145. Portions are generous, and takeout is an option if you would rather eat back at the rental.
