Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe

I hadn't been to a Carlos O'Kelly's in probably 25 years, but found myself in the 13th street location the other day. The good:*Waiter was nice, responsive, no issues*The food tasted good, chips were fresh*They still have Atomic Salsa!*The prices were decent, didn't feel violated after I got the billThe bad:*The host (with a face tattoo.....) seemed annoyed that he was, well, hosting. We were there right after opening at 11AM, and he took us all the way to the back, and set us DIRECTLY next to someone, when the entire area was empty. Except for these other people. Restaurants - STOP DOING THIS. Put a space between people whenever possible. *The beer glasses had a strong odor of cleaning chemicals. I guess I'm glad they're clean, but it's very off-putting. Maybe not rinsed well enough?*The street tacos were comically small and had shredded cheese on them. They were good, I suppose, and I didn't expect authenticity, but cheese? Come on. All in all about what I expected. Doubt I will be back, if nothing else because of the Clorox beer glasses.

We have been going to Carlos for years. We have been there through the ups and downs. We go to this location at least twice a month and the west location about the same. The service is always good the servers are friendly and efficient. The issue always seems to be the hostesses. They are not very friendly or inviting borderline rude. The west location doesn't seem to have this issue. The food was good as usual and came out fast and hot. The restaurant itself is nice with outdoor seating during the warmer weather. The place is big enough for larger parties but I don't know if the staffing here can handle a party much larger than 8.

A very straightforward American mex restaurant!This location had great and attentive staff which I appreciated!Suiza con pollo: the sauce was the best part for sure. The chicken were diced and didn't match the rest of the plate, and was probably the weakest part.It comes with two sides so that was really nice!A good visit, but I would probably order something else.

I'm hard to give a 5 start rating. The food was excellent and the service very good and friendly. Will definitely visit again. My wife and I shared the taco salad with fajita chicken and I added an a la carte crispy, ground beef taco.

Okay near the little airport, they have a bunch of Mexican and Tex-Mex inspired cuisine. Took a steak quesadilla to go, which was good, and also a fajita cheese crisp with no veggies for kids, they thought it was ok. Decent size and I think everyone enjoyed grabbing the snack, a bag of chips and salsa included!

We had such a great time. The service and food were amazing!!! We were there Thursday night at 6:30pm and jillian was our server and she was so fast, friendly and made this experience truly one of the best dining experiences I've had. 10/10 would recommend!

We haven't been to a Carlos O'Kelly's in years Ours closed down, so when we saw this one in Wichita when we stayed in town we had to go. Food and cocktails were excellent. Our server went above and beyond and was awsome! Would definitely go back.

We were in town and went for a late lunch, my significant other got the fajitas while I got street tacos. I had a medical emergency and the waiter was genuinely concerned, extremely helpful and went above and beyond for me. Add in the manager that helped navigate for me and helped me isolate another new allergen, priceless! I hope they know just how amazing they are! And the food was pretty good too!!! I would definitely come back! (Sadly we are just passing through)

The food, the hostess and waitress were outstanding. Our food was nice and hot and delicious. We would go back again.

The cheese and onion enchiladas are delicious! My 8 year old daughter ordered a taco with rice and beans. She can't wait to go back again. She loved the strawberry lemonade also. The decor is so cool. We love the different colors all painted on the same wall. Our service was friendly and fast.
