Carlos' Place was a tavern and cafe on the east end of Newkirk. This is probably one of the "lunchrooms" mentioned by Jack Rittehouse in his 1946 travel guide "A Guide Book to Highway 66".

There used to be a Shamrock gas station just east of Carlos' Place, but it is quietly falling in upon itself. What's left is the small dark ruins in the middle of this photo.
