Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe

Note: I already enjoy Carlos O Kelly 's restaurants, so I 'm comparing this location to other Carlos locations. If you 've never eaten Carlos, you should know that: A this is an inspired Mexican restaurant which means that they may not have all of the Mexican dishes you 're expecting, and B you can view their entire menu online to save you disappointment if you had a specific Mexican dish in mind that you wanted. I am a huge Carlos O Kelly 's fan, but I 've never been to this location before. It 's a gorgeous location. The interior is clearly modern and taken care of. There 's a gorgeous red/black theme to it, and it has a classy feeling to it. Unlike a lot of Carlos restaurants which seem t...

What a disappointment! In Wichita, KS this was one of my favorite places, mostly for their queso guac, salsa. For 4 months I've been ready for some of the afore mentioned goodies, but I will not return to Lincoln's Carlos. First of all, when we arrive, there were several ahead of us. For a good 10 min we waited with no host in sight. There were empty tables it wasn't very busy. I finally asked the people ahead of us if they had even seen a host, they said no. We finally got to our table, our waiter brought the usual chips salsa. The chips were WAY too salty. I tried to make them eatable by scraping off as much as I could (pic). We ordered queso guac right off the bat b/c it looked like thing...

The Applebee 's of Mexican cuisine. The food was no bueno-I had chicken tacos and the boy had a combination plate. His was greasy and there was nothing fresh about it, but I blame him for making a poor decision (I mean, if you order a combination of fried foods, don 't be surprised if they 're greasy). My chicken tacos though.....making a mediocre taco should not be a challenge for a Mexican restaurant. This taco 's tortilla (flour) was thick and grilled, and the ?chicken (I swear it looked felt and tasted like chopped up hot dogs) filling was doused in a queso sauce which I can 't imagine contained much actual cheese. The margarita was way too sweet for my taste. And I 'm not sure there was...

Margaritas are watered down and taste awful even after asking for a new margarita and then a shot of tequila to try to remedy it...still a horrible taste. Food followed up to be the same...bland taste; no flavor at all. My husband doesn't even like hot sauce but had to use it on his beans to get any flavor. Definitely would not recommended this place to anyone. Taco Bell is fifty times better than this so called Mexican joint. Save your money...go elsewhere. I would give it zero stars if it were an option.

I love this place and try to go there whenever we go to Lincoln. Their unique brand on Mexican is a welcome change from the typical. Staff were all wearing masks and there were hand sanitizing stations placed in several places and there was no issue with social distancing.
