They make everything to order - so you will have to wait for a bit. I believe it was about 15 minutes before my order came up. I got it to go. There is a small dining area if you decide you want to eat in. Pro Tip: Don't try and eat this in the car. And make sure you get a lot of napkins - and a fork. The thing was so large it fell apart and I needed to stop and find a plastic fork to eat it with. Overall, pretty tasty - the burrito was a little heavy on the potatoes - I would have liked more Chorizo - and more heat. Overall, tasty and filling! Paid with Apple Pay. #DonChema

The store is primarily a small Latin themed market-deli; cooked food items are limited but those available are above average or at least spot on.

It was relatively dead at lunchtime, which made me…read morethink about the freshness and quality of the food - But that was quickly dispelled when we met our server and got our food! Their menu is great, such a nice assortment of soooo many things I absolutely LOVE, but our server told me how amazing the taco assortment and the smash burger was that we got one of each, with me getting the smash burger. Our food came out rather quickly and was amazing, fresh, tasty, and PERFECTLY PREPARED!!! My smash burger was excellent! Exactly what a smash burger should be. I asked for jalapeños to be added to it and they added fresh sliced jalapeños which nicely enhanced the flavor. I typically don't eat the fries that come as a side dish, but these were so darn amazing that I ate them all! They were perfectly double-fried for crispness, yet were fresh, hot, perfectly salted, and sooo tasty! Our experience, the food, the quality, and the service was very nice. I will definitely return!

First time eating here. The food was tasty, but it was way overpriced, and the restaurant's online…read moreordering site was very misleading. The menu describes the tostadas as "crispy corn tortillas topped with refried beans, shredded chicken, fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream, and queso fresco." What I received looked nothing like the description or photo--just two very small tostadas with shredded chicken and cabbage (see my photo). No avocado, tomatoes, sour cream, or queso fresco. The online photos also made it appear that the pupusas and steak tacos came as two per order, but that wasn't what we received. In total, we paid $45.97 for two small tostadas, three pupusas, and one carne asada taco. For the portions we received, the price was shocking. When I called to ask about the discrepancies, the employee told me, "Then don't order food here," and then hung up on me. If you decide to eat here anyway, don't use the restaurant's preferred online ordering site. DoorDash pickup prices appeared to match the advertised menu, while the restaurant's own online ordering site did not. The food tasted good, but the misleading online menu and rude customer service completely ruined the experience.

At our catered event, the team came prepared in their food truck to feed an army. Polite and solicitous, each item in every order was cooked to golden brown perfection.

Whether traditional gluten-free corn masa, or fluffy fortified flour, every empanada was perfectly filled and expertly prepared. No raw soft spots, split casings or burns and char!

Carbonero looks fresh, modern and appealing on the exterior. The inside is decent. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was busy with all tables taken with a short wait to be seated. A complimentary small portion of tortilla chips with red salsa is served. There's also squirt bottles with red and green salsa you can request. Be careful, these salsas are watery. For an appetizer, we ordered the Chicharrones De Casa. JP remarked that these were the best chicharrones he's had in NoVA/DC. JP ordered the Nopales Con Huevos (Cactus with eggs). This was a very good dish. I ordered the Pollo in Crema (Chicken in Cream). While it as attractively presented, I felt a bit like Clara Peller in the 1980s Wendy's commercial asking "Where's the Beef?" In my case, it was, where's the cream? My spouse schooled me by telling me I was used to Mexican Pollo in Crema, but that other Latino cuisines serve their pollo in crema without cream. Well, alrighty then. In any event, the generous chicken serving and its accompanying mushrooms were a bit salty. The rice on the plate was okay. This dish also came with French fries and an undressed salad. In addition, I ordered a queso (cheese) pupusa. The pupusa came with a little cup of crema (which is a lot like crème fraiche). The pupusa was stuffed with unmelted queso fresco and was okay. Lastly, I ordered a Tamal De Elote (sweet corn tamale). It was very good, flavorful and moist. Service was friendly and fine. Overall, all things considered, the food was fine as well.

They did bring us our ceviche order, which tasted great. But it felt pointless. I was over it and ready to go have dinner somewhere else. All said - after an hour and a half, we got 1 ceviche, 4 drinks and 2 cokes for $95 and a new reservation at a different restaurant. Not sure I'll go back.

OVERALL: hidden gem with authentic and delicious food!!…read more FOOD: we came across this restaurant because we were looking for latin food. We got 3 pupusas (revueltas which is a mixture of pork and cheese I believe, and loroco which is a plant and cheese) and the grilled shrimp platter. Great portions. I also had the horchata. It was non traditional in that I could taste a hot chocolate mixture but it was still good. SERVICE: you order and pay at the cashier then seat yourself. Plastic utensils are off to the side by the wall but you can request proper silverware. We were attended to quickly. VENUE: the restaurant is pretty big with ample seating for different group sizes. It's decorated with beautiful latin American arrangements. It's a mom and pop business it seems with more of a diner atmosphere which makes it homey.
