Tips For Ordering
Here are a few things we have learned from ordering at Carolinas over the years. These tips will help you get the best experience.
- Ask for extra salsa on the side. It is free and very good.
- The lunch specials (before 3 PM) are about two dollars cheaper.
- If you want a larger portion, order the “wet” burrito. It comes with sauce on top.
- Check if the daily special is written on the whiteboard near the register.
One thing to note is that prices can shift slightly depending on the location. Some Carolinas stores are franchise owned, so they set thier own rates. The prices above are accurate for the main branch on Central Avenue as of this month.
We recomend calling ahead for large catering orders. The staff can prepare party trays, but they need at least 24 hours notice. The price for a taco party pack (feeds 10) is around $45.00.
So next time you are hungry, you already know what to expect. Pull up to the counter, say your order, and hand over the exact change. No fumbling, no confusion. Just good food at a fair price.
