3.5-ish For starters, the name of this restaurant (according…read moreto its own sign) is Taqueria Carnales, not Carnales Taqueria (as listed on Yelp). Anyway, this is a place for people who enjoy highly flavored and spicy food. Seriously, ask them to go easy on the jalapenos if you aren't up for spicy. I ordered everything as is for my first visit for takeout and enjoyed it but it was on the edge of too spicy for me, (chicken grande burrito) without actually crossing the line.Very much crossed the line with the shrimp tacos, imo. I ordered the following: Menudo Soup (made from cow's stomach); Shrimp Tacos and a Chicken Burrito Grande. The estimated prep time was 15 minutes and the food was ready on time. It's a cute, small restaurant that is very clean. While you could choose to dine in, I didn't see anyone eating there and it appears that most of their business is carryout. Upon arriving home, I found that the Menudo Soup had spilled inside the plastic bag. Not too big a deal. The other entrees were packed in styrofoam containers. The burrito was wrapped in paper and foil. My mom had the Menudo Soup and said it was good. She had one of the three shrimp tacos and said it was okay but that she wouldn't crave them. The avocado slices looked very fresh. My mom loves spicy food but she commented that the soup and tacos were very spicy. As for my chicken burrito, it was unexpectedly spicy in a mostly good way. The burrito was stuffed with everything inside - guacamole, rice, chicken, refried beans (very little), cheese and jalapeno peppers. It was a delicious combo but I would have preferred the individual ingredients to be separate. The biggest problem, however, was that the foil wrap made it difficult to cut into the burrito without also cutting into the foil. I think it's more of a "me" issue that might not bother anyone else. Overall, I would order from this restaurant again. The quality is definitely way above Taco Bell, but it's not quite fast food even though it's next to a Subway. Also, I asked if their refried beans were made with lard and I was assured they were vegetarian. If I hadn't seen so many positive reviews on Yelp, I wouldn't have known to check out this spot, but would encourage you to try it too for high quality, authentic Mexican cuisine! EDIT/UPDATE: I tried one of the shrimp tacos that my mom left in the fridge. OMG, it was super spicy to the point of giving me hiccups. Plus, the spiciness seemed to come from a creamy cheese sauce added to the shrimp tacos after they were cooked. I can understand why my mom wouldn't crave them and I would never order them myself. Based on your personal preference for spiciness, let this give you an idea of the level of spiciness that could be added to your food unless you request your dish to be less spicy. Recommend with caveat re spiciness.

3.25-ish I hadn't ordered or eaten here in roughly two years…read moreand decided to give it another try. I had worked from home (at the library) and hadn't eaten all day, so I was game for pretty much anything. The ambiance at this restaurant is very festive and traditional Mexican. However, it is a very small restaurant from what I could tell - unless there's a hidden area that I didn't see. Around 5:15pm, however, I was seated in a small booth. My server greeted me promptly to give me a menu (which was undeniably sticky) and to take a drink order. I was ready for a small margarita by now. Another staff member brought me chips and salsa in the meantime. The margarita was underwhelming but the chips and salsa were amazing! I don't like greasy tortilla chips and these were absolutely perfect. The salsa was also spot on in its flavor- not too mild or spicy but with the right amount of zest. After verifying that the refried beans were vegetarian and not made with lard, I ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla Remello with a side of guacamole. When my order was placed in front of me, I asked my server if this was the correct entree', as it appeared to be more of a fajita style dish. I pointed out that I didn't see any refried beans and that there wasn't a side of guacamole. He told me the refried beans were inside the quesadilla and that he'd forgotten the side of guacamole. Okay, no problem... except that the refried beans were very sparse. The side of guacamole, when it arrived, looked decent but didn't taste as good as it looked... maybe too much lemon? (Plus, it was an upcharge of $6.00, when I just wanted a small side.) While the menu description stated that there would be onions and peppers with tomatoes. I wasn't envisioning the amount that was stuffed within the quesadilla. Basically, I searched out the shrimp and left most of the onions, peppers and tomatoes. There was also little cheese, which is something I usually enjoy in quesadillas. Some people might love this dish but I was expecting more cheese, fewer peppers, onions and large slices of sauteed tomatoes, with refried beans on the side rather than inside the quesadilla. Plus, even if the beans were inside, I expected more of them. The only way I can best describe it is as a burrito type of fold filled with fajita-like fillings, with a small bit of refried beans smeared on the fajita-like shell. Just not satisfying if you like refried beans. Or maybe I'm accustomed to inauthentic quesadillas?! I'm not sure but it wasn't what I expected. Overall, the restaurant has a pleasantly festive ambiance with decent service, but the food wasn't what I had expected... though it wasn't bad. I would ask more questions if I were to return. I recommend giving it a shot if you're in the Bedford area.

It was my first time here although I was really…read morelooking forward to it based on the recommendation of someone in our group who had previously dined here. Upon entering the restaurant, I was a bit disappointed because it somehow didn't have a warm welcoming ambiance to me. I could see where it could have a cool vibe in warmer weather as there is an outdoor patio and garage doors that can open up the front of the restaurant. As it was December, it was just a basic restaurant without a lot of frills. The outside actually looked more inviting than the inside. I found my party and we had several tables pushed together to accommodate the seven of us. So far, everything is okay as we perused the menu, which offered a variety of selections- including build your own salads and tacos. There were also a number of tacos and bowls. Each entree also provides the number of calories. I ordered a fire southwest chicken bowl which came with rice, black beans, corn, lettuce, white meat chicken, pico de gallo, cheese and a southwest flavored creamy dressing. (See the picture of the bowl below.) I also ordered a side of guacamole which came in a small plastic container that seemed as if it had been setting for a while- didn't seem freshly scooped. The bowl wasn't anything horrible but definitely nothing I'll crave. I couldn't find the chicken at first because it was buried under other layers of ingredients. I didn't eat the rice because it didn't seem to be flavored. The portion was pretty generous. However, it came in a cardboard bowl with plastic silverware- which struck me as odd because it's not a fast food restaurant. We ordered from a server who waited on our table and entrees were brought out to us. Just seemed that washable bowls and silverware would have been more appropriate. Also, don't think about ordering coffee or herbal tea as it's not available. At least water was served in a glass. I think it matters what one orders as to how this restaurant is rated. One person at our table ordered a plate of nachos and the portion was both huge and looked delicious. A couple of people ordered tacos that they found too spicy. One person mentioned it to our server and it was promptly replaced. The person who had been there before ordered two make your own tacos and enjoyed them. I think it's best to order any sauces on the side to determine how spicy and whether or not it's something you like. I had ordered my bowl exactly as it came and was stuck with the seasoned sauce that wasn't too spicy but wasn't really a match for my taste preferences. I think if I ever found myself back at Condado that I would build my own entree and order sauce on the side- and that's my recommendation for anyone else new to this restaurant. I would try it again but wouldn't make a point of running back. I did note that the restaurant passed its health inspection with a score of 100%, which is commendable, so my rating is simply based on my personal experience.

The hot sauce is yummy, complex and REALLY hot! Warning, they don't sell individual tamales, so you'll have to commit to at least 6. Which in my opinion, is a good problem to have. The location is a little odd at first, but there is some great people watching as the Ashland / Bancroft intersection sees a lot of traffic. It's located right next to the brand spanking new Dollar General store, and across the street from that dodgy gas station. 5 stars for a taco truck in the hood? You betcha.
