Carlita's Cantina

Love this place; very reasonably priced food/large portion sizes, extremely good selection of gluten free options and staff who are knowledgeable about them, and great specials with fresh ingredients. The beer selection is also awesome with lots of local pours, and you can even buy fresh local meat which is a nice touch. Usually pretty busy but we’ve never had an issue getting a table: Nice to see such a lively crowd in So Ro.

Went looking for a small locally owed restaurant, and found this wonderful little place. Wasn't sure what to order so asked them for suggestions with a few provisions. No corn and couldn't be spicy. They do have gluten free and vegetarian options here. I ended up getting a quesadilla with chorizo and a salad. The quesadilla was filled nicely, plenty of Vermont cheddar cheese, roasted plablano peppers and chorizo (see photo). They also include a side of sour cream. You could eat it easily without it dripping all over. I had enough for two meals. Yum! Made to order. The salad was so fresh. Made with spring mix of lettuce, lightly pickled red cabbage, diced red onions and tomatoes. Served with a tangy dressing. So good! Again so full, that I had enough for a second serving. Make sure to mix it up to appreciate the flavor combinations. Overall. A great place. Just wish they had a place sit outside and eat. I ate in my car. (They do have large cut blocks of granite??, that you can use as a seat.) Definitely recommend if you like Mexican cuisine. Bring a blanket or chairs and enjoy the view along with the excellent food.
