Are you sure that you walk into Carlo's Cafe your comments, do not sound sincere. I was born in Cuba and grew up in Miami. I have been in Charlotte for at least 2yrs in those years I have tried many ethnic restaurants. This been food from my own back ground and I do cook it at home..... They have a "Great Restaurant" a "Great Staff". The owners are a Italian back ground male and a CUBAN female....their food has been a great addition to Charlotte's hum-drum boring affair... even if they are a mire 15 min. from Uptown we take that much time going across Charlotte's Traffic. In fact in Miami's many Cuban Restaurants their flare for taste and menu would separate them from the many THOUSAND's of Cuban Food establishments.
I would tell you to try them again......I believe everyone deserves a second chance.
Pros: Great Cuban Food, Ambience, Parking, Service with a Smille & willing to help & serve..
Cons: If I had to mention one is for them to be closer.. (than 15min.) but my Doctor is happy about it...
