What Brittany Anderson likes about El Carambas:
My go-to for Mexican food in town. Wish I’d tried it sooner. The shredded chicken that’s an option for most dishes (burrito, taco, tostada, etc) is fantastic. The lettuce and tomato toppings are vibrant and fresh. Also a fan of the house salsa and tortilla chips (not over-salted like a lot of other places). Fwiw I’ve only ordered take out and delivery; never eaten inside. View all feedback.
