Carlitos Cuban Food

After an outdoor set of plays in the nearby Sahara Commercial Center, I headed here to have Thai food. It turns out that I arrived at the Thai restaurant during their one hour daily closing time. Too bad--well not really!!! I went next door to Carlitos Cuban restaurant after a quick check on Yelp. I am so glad I did.It is a cafeteria style restaurant. There is a row of pans with different Cuban foods and the price for each. There are two prices--one just for the main item, and one for a dinner plate. I looked at a few pans until I got ot the ropa vieja which I've had before. I got the dinner platter which gave me a choice of white or yellow rice (I chose yellow) and one side--I chose the tostones. I also got a diet Coke. The meal is packed in Styrofoam and you check out at the end of the line.I took my tray and soda and found plenty of places to sit. There's an area where you get napkins and plastic ware. I tried the ropa vieja and it was wonderful. Rich spices in the shredded beef along with some vegetables. The yellow rice also had pieces of corn. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal.I decided to get some pastry to bring home for dessert. I ordered the tres leches cake. That was the only language barrier. The woman asked a man behind me what I wanted. I told him. He told her what I said and she understood. It sounded the same when we both said it!! I brought the cake home and I could have inhaled it. I need to check more restaurants on the East side of town where we have many ethnic restaurants that I tend to overlook living on the West side.Since I'm in the Commercial Center once a month, I'll be back, and I'll also return when the Thai restaurant is not closed.Gracias, senorita!

One of my offices is in this area and decided to dine here for lunch. I wanted an Empanada. Service was ok. I asked a question about a dish, and she couldn't explain it to me and had to ask someone else who seemed to be off to help. Go to the counter and select the items you want. I had some roasted pork and beef empanada. The Empanada was good in flavor, but the pork was awful. It lacked flavor, and it was just soaked in liquid. It did come with skin that was flavorful. The bakery side of the restaurant also looked delicious.

Very authentic cuban food as a true cuban i approve, you can build your own plate and it's fast! Definitely is the type of home cooked cuban food.I ordered Yellow rice Ropa vieja & yuca w/ mojo. Their pork ribs are usually veryyy good, i definitely recommend the ribs you won't regret it ! All their deserts are SO good as well. My favorite home food fast food place !

Another cheap ways place in Vegas that you should try. It's a Cuban place that offers a variety of dishes like chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. They also had various desserts. Prices are unbeatable, or meal ranged from $8.5 dollars the chicken asado, rice, beans, and a side to $14 for the ropa vieja plate. There portion sizes were generous, the rice/beans was tasty. I found the chicken a little dry and the beef a little too greasy. The Cuban sandwich was excellent. Meat was juicy and bread crunchy. The place needs to be cleaned a little. If you are looking for a nice cheap meal. Try it out

So lucky to have found this restaurant. It's very casual and loved the cafeteria style. I had the stuffed beef potatoes, ropa vieja plate with the yellow rice that has pork. SO GOOD! The plantains (3) were good too had to order an extra side order of plantains. So happy I found this delicious fast food alternative.

Well, I came back here because last time it was delicious. I do not know what happened between my last visit and now but the quality has gone down. I have been craving a Cuban and so I ordered online to get one. First off, I showed up and told them I had a to go order that I already paid for. The counter girls seemed very confused and then grabbed the bag with my name in the counter. Instead of handing it to me they told me to wait a minute. Then they had to make a phone call and then ultimately they finally released my food. When I got back I saw that they had given plantain chips instead of the fires that were supposed to be there but that's not a big deal. The issue then came that the pork is now pulverized and the ham was a slice of deli meat. It was cold and dry. 2 pickles on the whole thing. This was polar opposite of the sandwich I got last time, you can see the photos. I have no idea what happened or if they had some off day but I am very disappointed with the trend of quality from here. I guess I lost my good Cuban sandwich place. On the search for a new one, sorry Carlitos.

We hired Carlitos Restaurant for a couple of our events and they NEVER disappoint. Early arrival, organized, guest were happy and food delicious. Thank you Carlitos Restaurant team for making our events a success!!

Yum‼‼‼‼‼‼Absolutely love Cuban food. Carlitos is clean and prices are reasonable. Food was fresh. So yummy. Portion sizes were perfect. Customer service is excellent. They have a weekend buffet available. We decided to just get individual plates.

After ordering from here on UberEats many times, we finally made a trip to the restaurant. It was an excellent experience from walking in to dinning and even placing a to go order. The food was definitely authentic Cuban. I felt that I was back in Miami.

Amazing experience! A culinary adventure!! From the rice to pork to desserts all mouth watering. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was super clean and felt like home.
