Ceviche made to order “al gusto” (Spanish for as you like), is fresh seafood infused with lime juice, cucumbers, diced tomatoes, onions and Serrano peppers, all prepared just the way you like it.

Additionally, various items on the menu are offered to be prepared al gusto (as you like).

Enjoy a favorite wine in the lounge or dining room, or step outside into the private patio. The Rosemeade location patio includes a waterfall and lush palm trees. Live music is featured on Thursdays through Saturdays at both locations.

Come as you are after soccer games, for a night out with the family, girls’ night out or business lunch. Carolina’s is an every occasion place. As Carolina always says, “Mi casa es su casa.”

Eclectic, stylish, contemporary, casual Mexican food cafe with a large bustling main dining room, warm, dimly lit cocktail lounge area, and tropical garden patio. The design is a mix of classic iconic mid-century design elements, that one would expect to find in a funky, hip Mexico City taqueria and primitive wood elements reminiscent of a luxurious beach resort. Utilitarian yellow fiberglass shell chairs sit unexpectedly with rustic stained cypress wood banquettes.

The lounge area is defined by rough sewn wood trellis, dappled light, and Mexican stone fountain. Angled walls clad with wide horizontal planks of cypress wood separate the entry lounge from the main dining room. A bold wood clad tower centered in the space opens late night via hinged panels to reveal a DJ booth. Windows at the end of the space look onto a large covered patio with wood screen walls, an outside bar, fireplace, lounge seating and dining tables.

The restaurant was designed by Paul B. Jankowski, architect and Jan M. Martin, interior designer of Z e r o 3, Incorporated, Dallas, Texas. Their other restaurant work includes Mercury Grill, Loft 610, Taco Mundo, Mi Cocina, Taco Diner.
