Caramba’s Spanish Inn has been a beloved fixture in Midland for decades—arguably the oldest Mexican restaurant in town—nestled at 3116 West Front Street right next to McCoy’s Building Supply. Tucked into the Midkiff‑Wall corridor among neighbors like JumBurrito, Dairy Queen, and Rio Grande Pollos Asados, its unassuming façade gives way to a warm, homey dining room that feels more like stepping into a friend’s kitchen than a restaurant. Whether you’re slipping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a family dinner, the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service make every visit feel like coming home.
The menu at Caramba’s reads like a love letter to traditional, homestyle Mexican cooking. Start with their crispy chalupas or hearty chile rellenos for an appetizer, then move on to timeless favorites like sizzling fajitas and tender steak tacos. Enchiladas come smothered in a rich, savory sauce, while gorditas are piled high with flavorful fillings that showcase fresh ingredients and bold spices. Whether you’re craving queso‑laden nachos or seeking the comforting warmth of a plate of enchiladas verde, Caramba’s offers generous portions that satisfy both your appetite and your nostalgia for authentic Mexican flavors.
Caramba’s Spanish Inn keeps its doors open Monday through Friday in two convenient sittings—11 AM to 2 PM for lunch and 5 PM to 9 PM for dinner—and stays closed on weekends, giving the staff a well‑earned rest after serving up so many smiles during the week. With prices in the $10–20 range, it’s an affordable stop for a flavorful meal that won’t break the bank. Ready for a taste of Midland history?
