Service was excellent. Food came out quickly. The food was on the other end pretty blend. The ground beef tacos could use more flavor. Prices are fair.

We have been going to Carambas since 1996. We moved down from New York & thankful found a Mexican Restaurant that knew how to cook good Food. Best Chalupas, Rellanos & grand children love the chix strips & gravy with fries. They have a wonderful menu. Wheelchair accessibility: My husband has bad Parkinsons & they help him get in & out soo easily.

I have been searching for a good Mexican food place in Midland, and I think I finally found it with this place. Its not overpriced like other things you find in Midland, and the food is amazing and close to authentic as you could get for a place in the states. Definitely try this place, skip the other ones because this is the only place you need to go to.

The service was great! The food used to be really good here. On this visit, however, our food was barely warm. The server warned of hot plates, though. I have never had this problem here before. Neither has my husband. We were both very disappointed. I ordered a sopapila after dinner, and it was overcooked. I couldnt finish it. This visit was a disaster.

The food here isnt horrible, it use to be much better though. We used to come here a long time ago but when we moved out of Midland, we just havent been back in a while. We decided to go here again just the other day and we were mildly disappointed at just how average the food was. It used to have more flavor and more zap to it. Im not sure exactly what changed, but it doesnt taste the same as it used to. Also, they used to have much much much better tortillas, now they just taste like some bought in Mission tortillas or something.

What happened ? Carambas used to have the best fajitas in town. They used to be sizzling on the platter, large slices, a large potion just the best. That s why we were looking forward to last night after being away for a time. Last night s fajitas were little more than room temp, tough, well done, skimpy little pieces of mostly gristle TOTALLY disappointed. Did you change ownership or chefs in the last 12-18 months ? You lost my business last night along with any compliments/referrals which I used to freely and frequently pass on. SO SAD.

Very quiet, nice place to eat. The service was excellent but the food was just okay. If you cannot handle spicy, this is the place for you. Nothing we ordered was even a little spicy sadly (which we like). If you want to order an alcoholic beverage, you are also out of luck. No alcohol of any kind is served here.

Visited tonight and although the food was good the owner and manager poorly handled an issue. We waited over an hour for a sopapilla and even paid our ticket in advance. The server said she asked the owner to come speak to us and she refused. We decided to leave without our paid desserts. The wait for a fried tortilla basically was ridiculous without explanation. All the way from Kentucky, this Midland Texas stop was a disappointment in customer satisfaction. Although... Brittany was am amazing server!! She deserves a raise for dealing with this poor owner

We are visiting from out of town and went there because of positive reviews. Couldnt wait to order a Margarita, guess what, they do not serve any alcoholic beverages, I had a Sprite, UGH! Bummer. If I had known we would have gone elsewhere. They have been in business 30 years with no liquor license. They have lost millions in revenue, not to say how many people do not return because of no alcohol. Food was average at best. Sorry, nice place but we would never eat there again. Service was fine but who eats Mexican food without a couple Margaritas.

Fake Mexican food. Rice no flavor beans very greasy and watery. Ordered fajitas and food was ready right away I know it was not prepared to order why list as fine dining Mexican? To be honest Rosas Cafe has better Fajitas, queso and guacamole don t waste money no I do not work for Rosas and you can go to Monterey or Chitos or even taco villa and get better and more authentic Mexican food you are quick to reply to bad comments but your food is HORRIBLE what place serves white rice as Spanish rice??
