    Drink & Appetizer portions were very very small. Our drinks (martinis and margarita) were half full, literally 3 to 4 sips and they were gone ,,,unfortunately the price reflected a full cocktail. We got the octopus chorizo special appetizer but it was like a 'hash' tiny little pieces mixed together-very little flesh from the octopus, mostly fat and corn- terrible ,,, and it was $21. On a positive note, the dinners were fresh and very good. Living n the area it would've been nice to have a local Mexican hotspot but for us, this is not it. The couple we were with had been there before trying to give it a second chance, to no avail.

    I always have an excellent experience at Caracara. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the best margaritas! The guacamole made at the table is just wonderful.

    Loved dining at CaraCara! The table side guac is 10/10 and the chicken tacos are a must. The sangria and margarita were also very good. The service is great and wait staff very friendly and attentive.
