    Chicken Taco al Carbon
    Danielle R.

    We came here because the birria tacos looked really good. We usually go to another fast food place for street tacos when we are out running errands but decided to try this for a change. We did not get what we originally planned to get because of the price. For one birria taco she said it would be $6. That's not a combo meal or anything, one small taco. We decided to not get that and get a couple of chicken tacos. I personally felt the taco was very dry and the corn tortillas were bland and lacking flavor. I personally wouldn't come here again for that type of meal. However, they do have deals and coupons and I would consider the other types of food.

    Paid extra for Chicken breast. There is not one pice of Chicken here.  The shift Manager blamed the "cook"

    Apparently this location no longer has pico de gallo. I paid extra for chicken breast and literally got zero checked in my burrito.. I got It door dashed. When I called the "shift manager" said the cook didn't know how to read the order. In my opinion it's not the cooks fault it's the management,

    Bugs on floor, stale chips. I will never eat at this location again. I ate my food before I saw the bug. Not good!

    The new chicken tostadas are pretty good. The shell is fresh and can be eaten if you desire. On this day, all the chicken was lean and the dressing is one of the better ones in the fast food world. Coupon makes it 6 bucks.

    I was hesitant but desperate and was upbeat when I saw a manager there at 322 on 7/15/20 but what I ordered and what I got. Are wrong. Omg and if that was double chicken? No way. Let's see the big difference in calories and nutrition. Hint: when taking an order..... PAY ATTENTION.

    Grilled to perfection!! Delicious!!!

For this occasion we ordered: Bone in ribeye: 4/5- the 20oz steak was perfectly cooked with a charred flavor, but I personally think it's missing butter and some rosemary.

However, the deduction comes in the way the salmon was cut. For sure if the Salmon were thinly slice vs chucks, I would've gave this dish a higher score. Cutting it in chucks had this mushy texture Ceviche 5/5- this ceviche was delicious. Right amount of seasoning, and with that hint of coconut it complimented the fish and shrimp to perfection As for the service, definitely could've used some improvement.

Parking was a breeze, and since there were three of us (including one never-full teenager ), we went for the Mexi-Q Platter and added an extra birria taco so everyone could try one. It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe. We sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather--it was the perfect setting for such a fun and tasty meal! An easily awarded and well deserved

I liked that sauce so much that I'd consider going back just to try it on some of their other bbq. I didn't like the brisket birria taco as much because it was way too salty for me. The mac and cheese was also just okay. It had so much sauce that it was too thick and unpleasant to eat. The vibe was good though. They have seating inside and outside. I love that they had the misters running to keep the outdoor seating cool. The staff was also very nice.

Great sign as I'm sure it was even busier later after 2 pm when their Taco Tuesday starts. Parking was plentiful about a block away behind the buildings in the parking lot. There's also a parking structure nearby. As soon as we sat someone came out with chips and salsa. I was pleased to see they have a happy hour menu daily until 6 pm. I ordered the Joyride Margarita and shrimp ceviche from the HH menu. Margarita was good, you could taste the alcohol and the tajin rim was tasty. The ceviche was great with a good amount of shrimp and avocado, very flavorful. Both were great considering they were only $6 each. For entrees we ordered the SoCal Burrito and the Beast Burrito. The SoCal Burrito was really good, and there was a lot of big shrimps. The al pastor was a bit salty as was the carne asada in the Beast Burrito but it wasn't too bad. We also ordered one crispy fish taco which was good and came with a heaping scoop of guacamole. I really enjoyed the side salad that comes with the burritos! It had huge corn nuts which was a nice surprise. All in all their menu could be a tad larger (I was hoping for burrito bowls or a fish burrito) but their food is pretty tasty. Our server was very nice and checked in on us just the right amount of times, offering more chips and salsa as soon as we needed it. Parking is easy and there is a lot of outdoor seating, which we needed since we had our dog with us. We'll definitely be back!
