The food was not quite what we expected we got nachos to share they were the best part of the meal however they are more authentic than what we are use to We both ordered a taco expecting it to be small as it is a share item .. neither of us enjoyed them at all I had the grilled chicken one and it tasted very fishy hubby had the grilled beef and could barely chew it as it was very much like a jerky ! ( his words ) I gave my hubby the rest of my chicken one as he is a garbage bin for food and even he didn't like it so it was left 1/2 un eaten Unfortunately this will not be a revisited place for us it just wasn't our flavour !!

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!

Let out your battle cry! This meal is not for the faint hearted and is about as manly as a BBQ can…read moreget. It only happens annually in the Garden of Unearthly Delights (February - March every year). So, if you have not tried it this year, get on down to the Garden quick smart before you miss out! Pigs on Fire originally started as a small set up a couple of years ago in the Garden. I remember when it was first set up you could smell the wafting smoke and BBQ pork throughout the whole park! It drew people to it. Like a cartoon, people floated in the air sniffing until they found the source of the hypnotic delicious smells. Now this BBQ is big and has it's own seating area and bar set up around it. It is an attraction in itself. The BBQ is set up Traditionally Dutch with large iron grills chained together in levels above a camp style fire. The fire looks to be lit with red gum for smokey flavour (but I could be wrong about the type of wood). The most entertaining part of the BBQ is watching the Chef's tilt, swirl and swing the BBQ grill over the fire to ensure that it stays lit and for even smoke distribution. Kind of like a BBQ swing. Also, I found it amusing the amount of gentlemen standing, watching and nodding at each other. As if to say, "Now that is how you BBQ!" As for the pork, well, if I could give it 10 stars I would. It is just something to be experienced. If you like smokey, salty and sweet porky flavours this is for you. I ordered the BBQ meats special. Like usual, I just want to try everything. So, out came a massive plate of meat! For me, a little girl, I was intimidated by my dinner! The only veggies on my plate was some lovely pickled onions and a piece of green cos lettuce (for colour I guess). My plate featured a sausage (with caraway, mustard seeds and beautiful seasoning), roast pork, pulled pork, seasoned crackling skin, and bread. Although this was a meat fest, it was a dreamy meat fest! Oh my, the crackling was the best I have ever tried; I could just eat a plate of it. Other options for those not wanting the mountain of meat, includes a pulled pork roll or a serving of roast pork/sausage, with smoked cauliflower, carrots and a creamy pearl barley side (kind of like a risotto). What I like about this BBQ is that it is a show as well as a meal. You can set yourself up at a table, enjoy amazing food and watch the boys cook it.

He isn't shy about getting them out for the public to enjoy either. He also loves to experiment (as do I). Mr Darcy loves inventing new flavours and toppings for his balls. Recent additions include the BallPit, with 3 pork balls squashed inside a fresh white roll with chorizo sauce and guac for $10, or the $8 Veggie with sweet potato and goats cheese topped with beetroot sauce and a mint & pea dressing. That's ball droppingly good value. I never knew I could say "ball" so many times in a review or during a food order, but as David (food truck owner) says "you can't say it without smiling." You will have a ball, or three, and then wonder how you're going to get more balls in the future. Don't worry though, Mr Darcy has you sorted.
