Excellent Restaurant – My husband and I had our anniversary dinner at Carlos Bistro the other night. It was pouring down rain and Carlos met us at our car with an umbrella. He is so kind and really cares about his customers. The food and service was excellent. We drive from north Colorado Springs to eat at this restaurant. Highly recommended!!!

BEST of the Springs ! – There are no words to express how pleasantly surprised my husband and I were with our experience. Our food was out of this world and Carlos was so welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. We look forward to many, many return trips. Spectacular!

Is 5 the Highest rating I can give? – Carlos himself greeted us outside the door with a warm welcome. Inside, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We started off with Calamari, and after moving here from the California coast, I can safely say this is the best I have EVER had. I had one of the filets and it was tender enough to cut with a fork and melted in your mouth. My wife had the fish special of the night and was equally impressed. I would compare this with "Spago" in Vegas in terms of food qualtiy (hope that doesn'... read more

Not a biker Bar.... Fine Cuisine – My husband and I have a new favorite when it comes to occasional fine dining or taking clients out for dinner. I find places like the Peppertree nice, but the wait staff is a little stuffy and the tables too close together. We used to go to Denver for special occasions. Carlos Bistro has changed all that. Highly recommended.

Our new favorite restaurant! – I have to say that I will totally disagree with the reviewer who gave this restaurant a 3 star rating--not because of the food (which the reviewer seemed to like a lot!) but because the didn't like the atmosphere. Okay, so it might not be located at the fanciest part of town but it is totally worth the drive, the location, everything for the food and the overall atmosphere! We were greeted by Carlos who immediately had great wine recommendations. The calamari ranked at the top of all the places... read more

Not Quite the Whole Package – I read the reviews and heard numerous opinions, so my expectations were perhaps too high when I stepped into Carlos Bistro. Rumors of this previously being a biker bar are easy to understand when you drive up to this restaurant. There isn't a whole lot to it. At least, on the outside. A LOT of effort has gone into dressing up the inside, but the architecture is pretty rigid and does not lend itself much to such efforts. The flow of the layout and the table settings are awkward. The service is co... read more

Carlos has the best service, atmosphere, and scotch whisky in Colorado Springs. It's hard to image food this good in a roadhouse off highway 24 on the way to Manitou Springs!

Best Filet in town! Most attentive and congenial owner. Great service. – Our favorite restaurant!!! The service alone is worth the highest rating we could give it. The wait staff are friendly and attentive and make dining a pleasure. The food is excellent with a wonderful selection. My personal favorite is the filet which is served two different ways - both superb. The cut of meat is so good that you can cut it with a fork and it melts in your mouth. Should you save room for desert, you can't do better than Carlos' bread pud... read more
