"Food was Amazing!!! The waitress was great, we inquired about the delicious Guacamole and she brought us a recipe card. We were glad to have made our reservation through Opentable because there was a half hour to an hour wait with one. We will definitely be returning."

"Overall food was very good. Guacamole a little too salty for our taste, Sangria was made with a burgundy wine..a bit to sour for my taste, could be a bit sweeter. Fish tacos were delicious and the stuffed chicken with the creme sauce was very good. Sorry we didn't save room for dessert."

"The food and service is excellent which is why i would recommend this restaurant to others, however, I wish I could say the same for the restaurant itself. I thought the noise level was way too high...I couldn't wait to get out and have some peace and quiet. I also don't like the row seating for parties of two. I felt like I was dining with the people next to me....anyone on either side of you will hear your conversation. It's a shame because even though I loved the food I probably won't go back because of that."

"There's a reason my hubby and I keep going back here.. It's the food, the service, the warm welcome, ALL OF IT! Caracara finds ways time after time to keep WOWING us with their perfect food, service and just outstandingness of it all in every way. I highly recommend that you go here, you will not be disappointed. Try the specials, get the tableside guacamole, and leave room for dessert!!"

"Adult oriented mexican restaurant-went there the first time after it just opened- this was our second trip and
they seem to have worked out the kinks!- Alejandro our waiter was excellent and was very helpful when placing our order and was also able to recommend a tequila based on my description! if you are happy with the fajitas at fridays- this place may not be for you-it is higher end and more authentic- i will go back!"

"Really nice upscale Mexican restaurant. We brought friends who are cautious of Mexican cuisine and they really enjoyed the food. My husband became a fan of guacamole."
