    Still great Dec 17 Best new restaurant in Adelaide! Great…read moreview, bad food? Not here! This cool South American eatery is perched on the end of the Glenelg Marina where Sammies used to be. Located to offer outdoor diners an ocean view whilst still providing shelter from the elements, El Carbon has service and food to match. Even the indoor dining area is cool and fresh. I have eaten here three times and loved every visit. Great coffee, nice wine and a great variety of food. The place is owner managed and the food is authentic South American using fresh local produce. For example, the fresh oysters were accompanied by an amazing salza and the scallops were fresh not prefrozen . There are great vegetables, seafood and meat dishes.

    My husband and I dined at El Carbon at Glenelg on 2 Feb 2019 to celebrate his birthday. We hadn't…read moremade a booking because we hadn't decided where we would go beforehand. The ocean views convinced us to be seated at this eatery and we were promptly shown to our table. It was reasonably crowded, but not too loud. Unfortunately we waited a very long time for a waiter to take our order, which they apologised for without our having to complain about it. They offered not to charge us for our first round of drinks as a way to compensate for this, which did offset this rather long wait. We ordered two entrees (garlic bread and the baked Cambert cheese) to share, both of which arrived reasonably soon after ordered and both were really good. I especially liked the Cambert cheese. For our mains, we ordered the Carnivore platter. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 45 minutes for this to be brought to our table. While the steak was really well prepared, the chicken was a let-down and seemed to have been prepared long before the steak. The chorizo sausages were honest and good as was the sweet potato chips. All and all not a bad meal for the price, but the wait time just too long to be excused. The staff was friendly, but I think they were just overwhelmed. I understand that restaurateurs want to limit the staff they employ to maximise profit, but if people don't go back to a venue because they waited too long for their food, this strategy will backfire when the business ultimately closes its doors. On the weekend, I suggest they employ more staff. Next time we will go one of the other restaurants on the Marina strip at Glenelg and see if their service time is better than El Carbon's.

    I've never dated a Mexican but I've dated and used to also be married to a Salvadoran, in total 10…read moreyears, not to mention since my childhood been friends with many people from central/south america, eaten the food and also know how to cook it. So I like to think I know my way around Latin American cuisines!! Now people can question if this is authentic or not and let me tell you that each Salvadoran family I knew would cook the same dish (lets say Tamales) a slightly different way, doesn't make it wrong! The elements of Arriba Grills dishes are that of Latin American, no question about that. Actually biting in to the chicken burrito I ordered reminded me a lot of the typical dishes my ex mother in law would make. Chicken with rice, salsa, black beans, avocado, lettuce etc. The servings are huge! Still, I devoured my half of the nachos in record time and then polished off my half of the burrito. I do feel like some elements were slightly lacking, salt is needed I think to enhance some of the flavours, perhaps they are taking the 'health' concept too far? Lol unlikely but damn I do love me some salt! The salsa is just so fresh and I loved the hint of coriander. No jar stuff here! I'd definitely come back again, beats Subway hands down, that shit is nasty!!! On an odd note one of the staff members went to say something to me as I was leaving but then changed his mind and said not to worry about it.......yeah well now I'm in deep frustration and thought as to what he wanted to say lol!

    Oh yeah, this is one f*cking awesome food truck!…read more Today I sampled both the southern-style chicken and slaw bun with pickles, onion rings and ranch, as well as the Texas pulled pork and slaw bun with BBQ corn and BB pickles. (both $9) In a word? YUM-AZING. To top it off, they have *cherry* Dr. Pepper in the fridge. These guys literally cannot get any damn better! The truck shows up in various spots around the CBD for lunchtime, so check their FB page for where they're going to be on a given day. They usually announce it the night before, along with the menu items they'll be serving.

There's usually only 2 or 3 choices served each time the Van is on the road. You get to choose from some of the following tasty treats: Toasted Rueben, Texas Pulled Pork Roll, Pastrami on Rye, Cajun Prawn Po Boy, Beef Debris Po Boy, Philly Cheese Steak, Southern Fried Chicken Bun or even a Salad and of course the always present Deep Fried Pickles The home made Slaw is an excellent add on the great tasting meats used and even a BBQ Corn Cob that comes with the Pulled Pork Roll adds an extra something. The flavours are just great and at a decent price. To top it all off the owner/staff in the Van are great, going out of their way to remember their regulars. a real nice touch.

    Getting forked and being trucked with some of the finest Food Vans in Adelaide is soon going to…read morebecome a favourite past time of many. Concept - 20 food vans get together and offer up food over lunch time in Vic Square Implementation - It was more than just a gathering of trucks. It was the vibe of the thing, it was Mabo, it was trucking brilliant. Never have I seen so many high quality food vans in the one location all with line ups of Adelaidians waiting for some grub or a thirst quencher. From Raw Thirst to Burger Theory, La Cantina to Fair Espresso, Four Seeds and TacoCat and boys on bikes Smoothie Revolution and Veggie Velo there was something for everyone at this event and probably why half of Adelaide was in attendance. Tips to make the most of being forked? - Get there early or late (lines were long from 12:30pm-2:30pm) - If you don't like lines, shut the truck up and wait your turn. Fork is awesome. - Pace yourself and get a tasting of more than one thing - Enjoy lounging about in deck chairs or BYO picnic rug and make an arvo of it. Fork On The Road takes advantage of the following of 1 or 2 famous food vans and spreading the love to many - recognising we can all live and eat as one in Adelaide. Follow their twitter @ForkOnTheRoad and BookFace them to find out details about the next one on the 21st December!
