Carlos O’Kelly’s, 4825 Hwy. 52 North, Rochester, MN 55901

While this Carlos O’Kelly’s is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking, it is nothing more than a chain store.  It was clean.  The food was just OK.

The tortilla chips were very good.  They were thin and crisp and clearly fresh, or at least they seemed to be fresh.  We tried to order guacamole to go with the chips, but they couldn’t make any without onions in it which means it is pre-made somewhere else.

The options are plentiful.  This is a Tex-Mex restaurant.  It has everything that you would expect from such a restaurant.

Two neat options where their braille menu and their all vegetarian menus.  You just need to ask.

What I ordered was supposed to be spicy hot.  I was most of the way through when I remembered that fact.  It all tasted OK, but just OK.  Nothing was incredible.  It all tasted very chain restaurant, which is what it was.

If you want to try this place, go for it.  If you are trying to decide between this place and somewhere else, I would try somewhere else.  Unless you want to play it safe.  Carlos O’Kelly’s is a safe choice.
