Our Story

Built on Family. Run with Heart.

Carajillo is named after the drink: a shot of espresso and a pour of Licor 43, bold, warm and a little indulgent. We built the restaurant to feel the same way.

We're a family-owned kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas, steps from Fremont Street. We season every dish from scratch and portion it like we mean it. The salsa shows up in our reviews again and again.

The owners treat every table like family, first-time visitors and Tuesday regulars alike. You'll feel it when you walk in.

The recipes come from home kitchens. The salsa is made fresh, the birria is slow-cooked, and the team behind the bar knows the regulars by name.
