Carlos is a bibliophilic, absent-minded professor. He loves reading books so much, that he does this while doing other things at the same time. Reading books distracts him from what is happening around him, like he did not react to Lalo eating the food he is carrying, or on Carlino getting injured by a watermelon.
It was later shown in "Going Overboard" that Carlos had a secret interest of skateboarding and it was revealed that he was very good at it. He first got into it in college when he found out it was the most efficient method of getting around campus. It was also revealed that this is how he fell in love with Frida.
Since childhood he has sibling rivalry with Maria. Episodes "Cursed!" and "A Very Casagrandes Christmas" show that despite being an adult, he's still a momma's boy, because when he argues with Maria, he tattle tells on her to Rosa.
