Overview & Highlights

Welcome to Tacos Carlitos, a taco haven nestled at 5500 Buckeystown Pike in Frederick, Maryland. This delightful eatery is not just another taco joint; it’s a culinary adventure waiting to be explored. With a menu brimming with authentic Mexican flavors, Tacos Carlitos takes pride in its homemade offerings and meticulous preparation.

When you step inside, you are greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of freshly prepared dishes. The star of the show is undoubtedly their Carlito's Bowls, featuring the tantalizing Camarones Bowl with garlic shrimp and the flavorful Pescado Bowl, each priced at just $10.89. For those looking to keep things light and fresh, the Carlito's Salad options, including the Camarones Salad and Pescado Salad, make the perfect choice.

But don’t just take my word for it! Customers have raved about the sope al pastor, a heavenly creation marked by perfectly marinated meat and a homemade corn base. As one happy reviewer noted, “The red salsa is also great, hot but not Thai hot.” It’s these little touches that elevate the entire experience at Tacos Carlitos.

Another gem on the menu, the tacos de birria with consome, has left many reminiscing about their last authentic bite.

I'm a sope groupie, but so few places make it right. This is sope al pastor. Meat is marinated to perfection. The corn sope is homemade and delicious. The red salsa is also great, hot but not Thai hot. Not sure what others are getting, but it is in a mall, so their customer base may order thinking taco bell. For those of you unsure, get a sope. It's a strength on the menu.

Definitely a hidden gem in Frederick mall (Francis Scott key). The last time I had tacos de birria with consome, this well prepared and flavored from scratch, was many years ago. Sometimes a big menu causes confusion, but everything in the menu is variate and well prepared, there's no plate I would take out of the equation. Now this place is called Cielito lindo.

We had Tacos Carlitos cater our wedding, and they were incredible! The food was absolutely delicious—every guest raved about the tacos, and the flavors were spot on. They offered a variety of options, and each one was better than the last. The team was not only professional but also made the entire process seamless. From setup to service, everything was handled with care and efficiency. They were a joy to work with, which made our special day even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for amazing food and top-notch service for any event, I highly recommend Tacos Carlitos! They made our wedding unforgettable.
