Food was fresh and exemplary. However, the number of flies in the facility was overwhelming. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Loved the decor! Will visit again but would love to have less flies. read more

WAY TOO LONG waiting in the drive thru. Watching girls stand in the corner on their cell phones. Traveling through and need to hit the road. This is ridiculous- I e even had time to write this review as I wait. Hope the food is at least good. If it is I'll correct review- but so far not impressed. read more

Super good food , quick service , great ambiance. They even have aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata !! I recommend

Presentation is kool and can't go wrong with country music comin outta the speakers. Girls could smile a bit more. The food is good but the tortillas while the square look is kool, could be warmed up on the carbon. That would give it a unique taste and satisfy customers more than just microwaved. One other thing I encountered was that if you order a baked potato, you have to wait for about 1/2 hour cuz supposedly they make it as you order. The chicken was very tasty and soft. I would choose this chicken over that vegetable oil soggy Popeyes and KFC!! read more

These people are racist af!! I've been here a couple times because I'm a truck driver and they are located next to a truck stop. The first time I went I got sick as heck and felt they did something to my food. The second time I went my plate was so small they literally gave me 2 wings and leg and the Mexican customer that ordered the same thing had a huge plate. These people should not operate a business in America. read more

Oh my goodness!!!!! The fit bowl with half chicken and half steak strips was amazing!!! I didn't realised the fit bowl had quinoa and kale which made the bowl even better. Definitely coming back whenever I am back in town. read more

The wait was long. But I ordered a burger and my husband a chicken combo. The burger was delicious! The combo was delicious. The wait was long at the window. Other then that it was good. read more

Today was probably one of the worst meals from here in a long time. Chicken was dry cold and old tasting. I got too far away on the highway to return it. ( Note to self, check to go food, prior to leaving)! read more

Probably won't be returning Ordered a combo to go (been coming here for years) asked for an extra hot sauce and was told I'd have to pay for it. Which is mind blowing because if I were to dine in they give you the entire bottle. $1 extra hot sauce is insane. With my appetite ruined due to lack Of customer service or thereof. I went back inside to return the food. Both MANAGEMENT who's name is Esmeralda and two other employees tried to refuse my refund stating "there's nothing wrong with my food" After back and forth exchange and advising them I'd rather not make a scene just give me my money back they returned it to my card. With the audacity to say they'll do it but it'll be the last time. My response was NO WORRIES I WONT BE COMING BACK read more

expensive and disgusting. wings seem like they were in fridge for day and they just put the buffalo on it. NASTY NASTY NASTY

they told me 50 minute wait time for a number 1 its the second time it happens I feel like they dont care but i guess never showing up again read more

Please clean your grill, my fingers were black from touching each piece of chicken. It tasted disgusting. Gave my food to the dogs, going somewhere else. Not what I'm used to from this location. Hope it's just a bump on the road & there's improvement because I do love your food. read more

Whenever I review a business I like to look at 4 things: 1) Food 2) Mood 3) Consistency 4) Service Don Carbón absolutely knocks it out of the park on 3 of these things. 1) Food: Their food is amazing. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I have yet to have a bad thing on the menu and the chicken and charro beans are one of my absolute favorite, go to meals. The value for your dollar is definitely there. 5 stars. 2) Mood: The restaurants have been so well thought out that you can tell they were professionally designed and attention was given to detail. Each of the restaurants is unique and yet they all still have the same, great vibe. The bathrooms are always clean and it the entire restaurant always has high health department scores. 5 stars. 3) Consistency: Every single time I go, I know what I'm going to get. The food is on point, it maintains a very high standard. 5 stars. 4) Service: This is their absolute worst attribute. How could you have such a near perfect restaurant that has amazing food, great design and consistently puts out great food and then throw it all away by NOT TRAINING YOUR EMPLOYEES TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER?? It's terrible. It's bad. If you look at the majority of negative reviews, it's because the service is horrible. I've lived in El Paso my entire life so I understand that some employees are not going to have great English, but this seems to be the rule versus the exception at just about every location. Not speaking great English doesn't make you bad, but it's tiring for a lot of customers (as the reviews state time and time again) -- For having so many locations located near IH-10 it's just irresponsible to have people who don't have strong bilingual skills answering the phone or serving customers. In addition, it's like the employees want to not help you. I order from Don Carbón at least once a week and the other day I didn't get 1 of my 12 pieces of chicken in my box. TOO BAD. The sign says, "after you leave, we can't do anything about wrong orders". What kind of place puts the onus on the customer to count TWELVE PIECES OF CHICKEN while picking up food from the drive-thru?? Come on people. I call to mention it and get a "so sorry, we'll make sure it doesn't happen again". I literally spend thousands of dollars a year with this place and getting a "too bad, you should've double checked" is infuriating. Same with asking for a receipt for a Togo order over the phone. I have to mention "can I please get a receipt" every single time, which the reply is "oh we always do that". Yet when I don't mention it, I don't get a receipt. It's almost comical because it happens every. single. time. Lastly - expediting orders. They have a drive-thru which is virtually worthless unless it's empty and you've called in your order. An average order of chicken takes between 10-15 minutes to fill and instead of moving customers up to different spots to wait, they just have someone sitting a the window for 10 minutes. It's such an easy solution yet no one seems to care. Will I come back?? ABSOLUTELY. The food is stellar. The cost is great for feeding the family and employees. It's healthy. It's El Paso. Check this place out, but just know the staff is mostly rude and mostly incompetent. read more

First time I ordered from this place. Food was absolutely delicious!! I ordered AGAIN the very next day. Food is five star, very tasty and well cooked. Why I didn't give it five stars is only due to one thing. Tortillas, ask a Mexican I k no ow that tortillas have to be on the plancha or on a burner so that they have some stability and hold together. It also gives them a little flavor. The tortillas here seemed to be steamed, as soon as I pick one up, fell apart both times. Both times I gave them to my dog. Guys, fix the tortilla issue and you're GOLDEN!!! read more

Staff was kind. Ordered a chicken plate that came with beans and macaroni salad. Not your traditional Mac salad. This had peas and corn. I did not care for it. The chicken was a okay, a little too salty for me. The beans were spicy, but good. My husband had a chicken quesadilla and he seemed to have really enjoyed it. I thought the upside down chicken logo was a mistake. It was not. Square corn tortillas ... I think more effort should go into the food. This place is missing the mark on so many levels. read more

Coming thru Anthony I decided to stop and eat and order Beef Fajitas, what a disappointment with the quality of their Meat, SHOE LEATHER MEAT IS WHAT I GOT !!! THat meat is hard to chew I thought this was BUFFALO MEAT !!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I COME TO THIS $30,00 dllrs down the drain, HORRIBLE FOOD!!!!!!!!!! read more

Portions are big and the food has flavor. A tiny bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Staff at the Anthony, Texas location are awesome!

I am a truck driver that walked across the street to check this fast food Mexican restaurant out. I walked in and saw the Iced Tea dispenser, and almost walked out, like I have done many times before. I considered the alternatives, and decided to stay, and drink water. I ordered the beef fajitas, which came with two sides. Then the order taker asked if I wanted a fountain drink. I said just water. I wish she would have asked If I wanted sour cream or guacamole, as I would have happily paid more for that. Immediately a server walked to my seat and delivered the salsa and tortillas. I had 4 corn tortillas which were small and square. They were served the perfect temperature, hot. That was impressive. Very cheery waitress as well. Only a minute or two later the fajitas arrived. It wasn't the same as fajitas in a fine Mexican restaurant, but close enough. (No sizzle.). The food was plentiful and good. Overall it was a very good experience. I thought the price was reasonable. They really need to dump that fake Iced Tea dispenser and make their own. I will come back. read more

Good service that were all nice the food was great but the chicken was a little dry cute little kids area it was really clean

Horrible service; not one but twice been in this establishment, they quote 20-30 minutes and both times I spent over an hour waiting for my food. I ended up getting a refund cause my food never came out I will never return to this Don Carbon location. read more

Yep. This place works, especially the steak strips. I loves my meat. And the staff is on point. No issues. read more

I'll start by saying the I love Don Carbon. I visited the Anthony location during lunch and it was a bit busy. The food took a while but when it finally came out, my chicken was COLD too the touch, not even warm. My wife checked her order and said it wasn't cold like mine but not much hotter. I am not one to send food back and then eat what they bring in return. I don't trust any kitchen so I asked for a refund. The girl said she couldn't refund me my money because I touched the food. I looked at her cause I thought she was joking. I stated, "How else am I supposed to eat?" I asked for the manager who refunded the amount back to my card. My wife doesn't like to make waves so she ate hers but only picked at the chicken. This is not the first time I've had a similar experience at this location. I will return to Don Carbon but never again to this location. In my opinion they either served us the previous days leftovers or just cooked a big batch early and had it sitting out. Nothing worse than cold or reheated chicken. The only reason I'm writing this review is for the poor customer service. They seemed bothered that I didn't want to eat the COLD chicken they served. Really is a shame because it's so close to the house. read more

I've driven through El Paso many times and have seen the lines at Don Carbon. I thought it must be good with such long lines. I too had to sarcastically enjoy the wait. I waited for utter disappointment. Square corn tortillas that were cold, dry, and falling apart. Macaroni salad very very wet, almost slimy with ZERO flavor. The only thing good was the rice, but it was dry. I waited almost 25 minutes for a 4 piece, rice, beans, and tortillas. Only 1 person in front of me. Not worth the price or the wait. read more

Cant say enough about this smaller drive thru gem up in Anthony off I-10 Great price, huge quantity and amazing quality. Beef fajitas are my go to, but they have many other sides and deserts. I probably go back 1-2x per week, even during c-19, but they never disappoint! Great attitude and service. Good work to all their team! read more

Wow, food was really delicious and fresh. Our host Johana and her crew were really friendly and attentive. This is my first time having dinner, and I will come back. By the way the restaurant and bathroom was spotless. read more

If you're tired of fast food, this is the place to go. Their specialty is mesquite grilled chicken, but you can order a burger and fries, too. The chicken is grilled wonderfully and has that nice char on the outside coated with spices, but the inside is so juicy. It comes with corn tortillas, hot chile sauce, pickled onions and salsa on the side so you can customize your taco. The portions are very generous and two people can easily split a combo. I ordered a baked potato and a salad. The salad was crispy and fresh, I only added lime even though they brought me a whole container of ranch dressing. I love that they have Beyond Beef burgers as well as Angus beef. They have bowls and wraps which are delicious and perfect for eating out when your trying to eat better and healthier. If you're eating the chicken, I recommend coming in. It will be difficult to enjoy the tacos on the road. The place is very clean, the employees are very friendly and it even has a play area for the kids. Highly recommend. It can get pricy if everyone orders their own combo, so I recommend sharing. read more

Stopped in here with my wife and mother while traveling. The chicken was delicious and I recommend this place for their food. However, I wanted to give a special thanks to Esmeralda Galvez who help me when my credit card sent me a text message showing duplicate transactions. Even though she understands English, she does not speak English, but did not let language stand in the way of making me feel like a valued customer who felt his concerns were heard. We eventually got across what most likely happened, what I could do after the holiday weekend, and the contact info in case there was any issue. Her nonverbal communication skills were excellent. You have a new loyal customer whenever I travel your way again. read more

Solid flavor! Clean and upbeat environment. Simple menu choices that are good. They could have a few other options for sides. Be careful of the green peppers. It's random on the heat intensity. The first 2 bites were great on one and then the next bite was instant fire. I had the 3 piece chicken with dark meat only. It was great. Lots of flavor and cooked through tender chicken pieces. The Mac salad was ok. It could use some type of extra flavor so it's not just a draw from the flavor of the rest of the food. The Charro beans were good and simple. Their Flan is good too. I'll give them a revisit next time I come through. read more

Love their lemon pepper chicken. I wish they would put the sandwich sauces on the bun not on their lettuce.

Great tasting food. Order the chicken which had great flavor. The beans were flavored with fatty portions of meat and were the best part of the meal. This is the kind of spot you go to a couple times a week and never be disappointed. read more

Not worth stopping. The square tortillas were cold and the chicken flavor was not all that like the reviews mentioned.

Maybe one of the cleanest restaurants I've seen, and found it to be an interesting experience walking through their "sanitizer tunnel" upon entry. As first-time visitors, we were happy with the customer service, and found our 3-piece chicken combo meal very tasty. We didn't leave hungry, and there were plenty leftovers for a snack/lunch the following day. read more
