Ayer pensé que habia dejado mi billetera en El Carriel de Simpsonville y la dueña muy cordial como todos se tomó su tiempo en mirar conmigo la camara en asegurarme que yo me la habia llevado para byscarla en otro lado. Su amabilidad como todas las meseras dice mucho. El Carriel siempre el mejor. Muchas gracias y Dios los siga bendiciendo.

I have always enjoyed visiting Greenville and it's fantastic Colombian restaurants. El Carriel has over and over exceeded my expectations for well over 5 years now. The food is as authentic as it gets. The portions are HUGE. The servers are tan amable. The panadería has yet to disappoint me with their selection. Must try are buñuelos, as well as pan de bono. The arroz con pollo is great. The almuerzo Colombiano is authentic and full of sabor autentico. The weekend pollo asado is like walking into a kokorico in the 1980's Bogota. The selection of jugos is next level. The coolers and products are always on point in their diversity and relevance. Absolutely worth a visit and some light grocery shopping, even if it's for a little mekateo and some authentic ingredients shopping..

Hopefully they're going to be as delicious as they look like they were. This place is busy, busy, busy. That is a complete reason that I actually pulled into the parking lot and I was so shocked at how many cars were there in such a small place. Everybody was having a great time and really enjoying the food. Place had a nice feeling inside about it as well as it looked clean and well presented.

I realized quickly I was probably going to need to dig deep for my South Florida Spanglish. Thankfully I remember the verbs and words to get me what I wanted. All my hair appointments in Miami paid off. We ordered four beef empanadas. The menu does say there's potatoes in them, but the issue was more there was barely any meat and mostly potato. It wasn't quite what we were expecting. The actual empanada had a pretty thick crust as well which was different. We also got 2 pastillitos with guava, and two with guava and cheese. Those are money!!! We will absolutely be back for those. You can order online, and if you can't speak any kind of Spanish or speak very little I suggest ordering that way. I will probably do that myself next time. The lady who helped me was kind by not making me feel even more insecure over my basic Spanish speaking. Very much appreciated.

Really appreciated the salsa bar and the variety of toppings provided in it. We got the sunrise burrito, which was delicious, as well as the San Diego burrito. I got Carne with the San Diego, but I would probably see if I could sub it for a different meat next time, and would potentially recommend others to do the same. The meat was very tough, to the point of having to spit some of it out cause it wasn't breaking down with ample chewing. Now I don't think this is a reflection of them, nor is this meant to be a "bad review", it genuinely could've just been a one off bad cut of meat they got stuck with or were unaware of. That's really my only critique though! Overall, this place was an awesome find and I'd love to try more of their menu items in the future!

Listen up, hospital and Dunean Mill peeps!…read more We are in the process of buying a home in th nearby area, and while in the neighborhood decided to try out this spot for lunch today. Behind the unassuming facade lies a terrific Mexican restaurant. The staff were very cheerful and friendly, and the dining room is well laid out. The server informed me they sometimes do live music and this coming Saturday they'll be hosting karaoke night. The food here is FRESH! The customary chips and salsa were great, the light red kind with just the right amount of bite. My order today was the typical "Speedy Gonzalez" that you'll see at most Mexican restaurants. I will say the beef taco was quite good, and I usually gloss over regular tacos at a place like this one. But the tortilla was fresh and crispy, and was quite nice. The enchilada along side was good in the same way. Also worth mentioning is their lunch combos come with the drink included, which was very nice. Speaking of drinks, they do have a full service bar and while it was a bit too early for margaritas, we were told they make a good one. I can't wait to call this neighborhood home, and this Mexican restaurant will be our little spot from now on. 5/5 would recommend!

This bean dip was missing something, I'm not completely sure what, but salt and pepper helped. The green and pumpkin-based creamy salsas had the right flavors but were a bit watered down. The red salsa I tried (see photo) was dead-on delish, and the tomatillo was fantastic, with vibrancy and depth; IMO no Mexican food chain does tomatillo salsa better than Papas. - The Huevos Divorciados was a dish I'd had before but never at this chain. This one was mediocre and uninspired. Nice runny yolks would improve it considerably. - To me, if you're not serving esquite with fresh corn, you should just leave it off the menu. No matter how much you try to dress up canned corn, it gives "grade-school cafeteria" vibes. - Service was friendly and attentive - high marks here!

Only complaint is the cups for salsa are too small. Service is very fast. Be ready to eat when you order 'cause the food will be out in minutes. Good beer selection. But the Margaritas are the star. Several flavors to choose from. You can't go wrong with the house Margarita. The ambiance is Mexican family restaurant. There are booths in the bar if you'd rather be away from kids. Plenty of free parking.
