Carolina's Mexican Cuisine

Great new restaurant for North Dallas. They just opened this one as well as one off Parker and 75. I have only been to the Rosemeade and George Bush location so far. When you walk in there is a nice hostess area and we were warmly greeted and after waiting just a moment for them to finish clearing a table, we were seated in the main dining area. There is a large covered patio in the back that looked like it would be a good place to sit had it not been quite to hot outside. Our waitress was nice and we were surprised to see a wall of beer taps. I rarity in Mexican food places and good to know about but I was in the mood for a margarita so I ordered a frozen margarita. It was good, nothing too amazing, but for me frozen margaritas usually only have two classes good and bad and this was good. I really liked their chips.

It was good, nothing too amazing, but for me frozen margaritas usually only have two classes good and bad and this was good. I really liked their chips. They are a little bit thicker than some restaurants which I liked. They came with a red salsa that reminded me a lot of Chuy's. We ordered the Ceviche with shrimp to start and it had a very refreshing crisp flavor. Then, I got an order of enchiladas which were very good. Lots and lots of chicken and the tortilla wrapping seemed to have a little more flavor than usual enchiladas. I would say at Carolina's you have more of a need to pick the sauce on the enchiladas that you like the most because it was very flavorful. I think at some Mexican restaurant all the enchiladas sadly taste far too similar despite difference in sauce and type. For dessert, which I really wasn't expecting to order, the Tres Leches cake for recommended so we tried it and were really glad we did. It was very good, and not only good for a Mexican restaurant (which I feel like Mexican restaurants sometimes are lacking in the dessert department) but good overall. All in, a good place and convenient location off 190 and Rosemeade. We will definitely go back and want to try it out for beers on the patio sometime soon. less
