    Strawberry Raspado (order something else)
    Marc B.

    The strawberry raspado was not good! Solid chunks of ice (not shaved) with a strawberry jelly sauce-like substance. Also, the raspado leaked all over the table... even when I wasn't touching the cup. Maybe other raspado flavors are good, but I wouldn't try it based upon this one. Their sign out front advertises Raspados, but maybe it should hype something else. From the other reviews, the food seems to be good.

    Some of the best chilaquiles I've had in SanFer. The rice and beans are on point too.

    What happened to Don Carlitos?! Well, I found out they've been under new management since the start of this new year. It's too bad because this used to be my lunch and snack spot since it's so close to my office. The food hasn't changed much, but the people certainly have. I hope that the business owners here wise up and recognize that customer service is everything. Today I ordered a small bionico (fruit medley with yogurt, granola, and honey). I asked them to hold the raisins, strawberries, and melon because what I really wanted was more papaya in my bionico. I tell them it's okay if they pair the papaya up with banana and apples. I just wanted to substitute the papaya for the other fruits that I wasn't getting. When I pick up my order, I see it's toppling with banana. I ask the cashier if it has mostly papaya like I asked and she says it does. She gives me attitude at the same time (it was mild, but I caught it). I paid $5.75 for this thing. I get to my office and me being suspicious about the quantities, I divide the fruit into three bowls to compare measurements between the apple, banana, and papaya. I'm furious at this point because the bionico was mostly banana even though I had checked about this once when I ordered and again when I picked my order up. I called the establishment to speak with the owner who I know, or knew. The lady tells me it's under new management and she sounds annoyed by me. She tells me that the papaya wasn't ripe so they didn't add much. I proceeded to tell her that she and her workers need to be honest and upfront with their customers because paying almost $6 for banana is not ok. She deflected any responsibility and said maybe next time she can give me a discount. It bothered me quite a bit that she didn't apologize. I know this was a small order, but the encounter with the staff is what makes me not want to return.

    Watery esquite, tastes bad, customer service is very bad :(

    They have good tortas but bad customer service, the lady taking my order was very rude :( Also I ordered an esquite but i got a very soupy esquite that tastes very acidic and nothing like an esquite. I am sad. :(

    Don Carlitos is a great little restaurant found among all the discotheques, bridal, and pawn shops that make up the San Fernando Mall. They offer great tortas (my favorites being the chorizo and the supertorta), aguas frescas (sandia's the best!), raspados, and my favorite snack of all time, bionicos (fresh fruit with cream, honey, nuts, granola, and raisins). This is a great place to go for a quick lunch, smoothie, or for other snacks which remind me of the great food I had in Guadalajara. Don Carlitos is now one of my regular stops and I'm very fortunate that this place is in San Fernando.

    Diablotos and strawberry raspados being enjoyed

The menu is very overwhelming, so I asked if they had matcha since I honestly couldn't find it on the menu. They have three kinds, original, strawberry or banana. I ended up grabbing a strawberry matcha with almond milk (.75) strawberry purée ($1) cold foam ($1) if I would have known of all these up charges I would have just stuck with a basic matcha. But I must admit my $8.43 drink was actually worth it, the matcha had that bitter taste and the purée/cold foam tasted homemade. Service was great, I told them it was my first time here which it was; hence me being overwhelmed and the barista offered me a free cookie, I got the chocolate chip. They have a variety of drinks, smoothies, coffees, boba and teas. Some pastries (no gluten free) but they did have some vegan options. They also serve sandwiches, wraps and salads. I also saw a mini fridge with to go items as well. Inside had seating with two small tables outside. Small parking lot, but street parking near residential area.
