We were craving some chicken and got recommended by a friend to try out Pollos Al Carbon. We didn't know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised with what we got. Our meal was packed full and piping hot even after driving 20 minutes. You could smell the spices from the aroma of the chicken, and it had really great flavor. The meat itself was juicy and tender with the skin holding tons of flavor from the seasoning. Our order lasted two meals, which is a steal for how much it costs! Not to mention their fast and friendly service! We will definitely be back again for their chicken and are all excited to try some other items on their menu next time as well. read more

Stopped by this restaurant today, may 5th to try their chicken. What a surprise! Moist, flavorful, perfect seasoning and accompanied with chili toreado, fabulous salsas grilled onions and warm tortillas. WWE have traveled to Mexico for the last 30 years and had pollo asado many times, this chicken outclassed any we have had in Mexico. read more

Absolutely amazing service and food. Always top notch service love their food and go back all the time

The best! I can't believe I slept on this place for so long. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the chilaquiles rellenos and the machaca plate, and both were so good! Everything was full of flavor and clearly made with lots of love and care. I highly recommend this spot! We will be returning soon! read more

We were craving Mexican food a little late and this was the only place opened after 9 pm. We felt a little bad for going 45 minutes before they closed but as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the sweetest young lady. Their menu is a little big and she was so patient with us and she explained everything we had questions about. Her customer service heightened our experience here, she was amazing! We ordered a California burrito, the pollo asada fries, the steak ranchero and grabbed some of their chicken tacos. After taking our initial bite I had to run and grab my phone to get pics because it was so delicious I knew we're about to dig in! The food was AMAZING!!! So authentic and fresh. We tried a little bit of each other's food and we were all evenly impressed with the flavors. The chicken is clearly marinated and grilled on a rotisserie. The tortillas were fresh and we could tell they were homemade and the salsas were out of this world!! I couldn't believe how hard they worked on our meal even right before they were closing. They have a new repeat customer because I will definitely be back! read more

Al Carbon Pollos Asados Estilo Sinaloa! I was delighted to discover Al Carbon's chicken. My husband and I enjoy Carbon flavor,The chicken is flavorful, grilled perfectly the restaurant is worth the investment, and the customer service is satisfactory , however the cashier also serves as the waitress, which can lead to errors. To ensure accuracy, request the order to be repeated. I opted to dine in but was given take-out, and my flour tortillas were overlooked. The food was lukewarm, suggesting it may not have been freshly cooked in the carbon. The wait time was excessively long , It's a small restaurant and feels somewhat cramped place is clean. We thoroughly enjoyed everything! I would have given a 5 Star! customer service could have been better and food. Needs to be served hot and fresh.Most likely we will come back. read more

First time in, I ordered the whole chicken, a chicken burrito, and fries. The chicken was clearly marinated and fire grilled -- you could taste it. Juicy, fresh, and seasoned right. They throw in grilled onions and peppers with it. I don't touch the peppers, but the onions were legit. Fries came out fresh, hot, crispy, and salted just right -- not greasy or overdone. Burrito was big, packed with meat, avocado, and some salsa. No fillers. They're not trying to stretch it with rice and beans -- it's mostly meat, and I respect that. It was good enough that everyone at the house liked it, so I went back the same day for more -- grabbed two more burritos and another whole chicken. When I walked in, the guy greeted me by name, told me I'd already spent over $100, and signed me up for their frequent buyer deal. That kind of customer service sticks. They've got a good drink selection and the inside has a mural of Sinaloa that's a cool touch. Whole chicken's only $20. For the quality, it's worth it. This spot's officially in my rotation when I'm in town. read more

Best chicken I've tried in town so far! The beans with chorizo were out of this world!! The inside was nice and clean for dine in or take out orders. I'll definitely be back. Can't wait to bring the wife! read more

I had a really disappointing experience today. 4/17. I called ahead and came in around 7:55 pm. I waited about 25 minutes by the fridge area, and at least two waitresses saw me but didn't acknowledge me. One of them, a thicker lady, made eye contact with me but then continued helping customers who arrived after me. There was also a waitress (thin, light brown hair with a nose piercing) who appeared to step outside to smoke with the cook and then come back in to serve food, which didn't feel sanitary, What makes this more frustrating is that I come here often because the owner is AMAZING, and the staff usually recognizes me as a regular. That's why this experience stood out so much. I ended up leaving hungry and disappointed. I'm leaving this review hoping someone reaches out, because I do like this place and would like to continue supporting it but the service today really missed the mark. read more

I like to call this FUNCTIONAL MEXICAN FOOD, it's not the best by far but it's okay. I came in to grab a Machaca burrito on a Sunday afternoon and it was meh. The meat was decent, but I've had much better. The wait time was super long and I think they forgot my order for a while. They only had one lady taking orders for the whole place, they had her going to tables and running the register, poor lady. It sucked that nobody backed her up as she gave good service! The place was pretty clean but it's very small and feels a little cramped. It's not a good place for big groups, my party was large and we had to sit in individual groups of 4-5. Not the best experience. The specialty here is chicken but it seemed like all the meat was a bit too dry. This restaurant offers, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tortas, and off course CHICKEN meals. Think Pollo Loco chicken meals with sides like beans, mac, etc. I didn't spot a drink fountain, it seems like they only have bottled drinks. I got a Dasani water bottle and burrito and everything came out to about $14. read more

Don't come on a Sunday looking for chicken cuz they won't have any. Came at 3pm and they were sold out. Be sure to call ahead and reserve your chicken because they can only cook 6 at a time. Cherry on top was the fact that they sold chicken to the family that sat down after us. Service is just bad! read more

5-STAR!! Sometimes you gotta travel further to find certain items of menus that are only served on certain days, but this place serves Fresh plates Everyday! From hand made tamales to chilaquiles rellenos (which I think were BOMB!) this place has it all. The walls are decorated with artwork, some cool pictures straight from Sinaloa, Mexico. Casual eat-in seating is comfortable and you know it's gonna be good food when the servers are super friendly. Overall, it's a fantastic place, Definitely recommend to those trying to find something different. (But seriously, TRY THE CHILAQUILES!!) read more

Not worth $15. I've been ordering their sopa Azteca since I've first tried it and they've unfortunately downsized the amount for their take out order. They've downsized the container to this now and its still not well served. To make matters worse my order today barely even had chicken and veggies. This will Unfortunately be my last time ordering this item. read more

A late lunch. I ordered a simple taco pollo asado from this little gem in a small strip mall. I was expecting ... nothing much. A little surprised at the cost of a single taco to take the edge off before my dinner in a few hours ... but ... that f'in taco rocked. Here is the deal. Pollos Al Carbon is what a taco shop focused on pollo/chicken should be. They give a damn. The chicken is marinated in a citrus baja-style marinade reminiscent of what El Pollo Loco used to serve (30+ years ago). Flavorful with an impressive smokey charcoal essence. That first bite of the taco told me one thing ... they care about doing it right. What I was served for my price of a taco was: 1) chips and a bean dip that was cheesy and beany (is that a word?); 2) a pollo asado taco made from a good quality corn tortilla filled with chicken, guacamole, onions, greens ... nothing like an anemic street taco. Francisco and crew: Bueno. Gracias. Good Job. Mike / Miguel read more

Hi all, this place is new in our neighborhood, and we gave it a try. The decor here is spectacular. The tables and floor is all in the style of a dirty pour paint job. The colors are vibrant and go very well together. The atmosphere is uplifting. Our server came over smiling and ready to take our order. We both ordered soup. ALBONDIGAS- (chicken meat balls, Corn, potato, green beans, Mexican squash, carrots, served with rice, green beans, cilantro, onions and limes). $14.99 I had SOPA AZTECA (chicken, mexican squash, carrots, panela cheese, avocado & cilantro) $14.99 We both enjoyed our food. We were very surprised at how big the bowls were. The actual bowls were old school clay and very beautiful. The waitress was something else... let me tell you. When she wasn't checking on us, she was cleaning. We witnessed her flipping chairs and wiping the whole chair down, wiping walls, cleaning glass, and also sweeping the floor. The only part that bothered me was when she was doing it next to our table... I kinda have a phobia with that... but that's my issue. Just an FYI, there is no red meat here. We will definitely be coming back again, thank you! read more

Location was dirty. Food was mid 6/10 they have one employee working. Our order was wrong the girl that was there took the order incorrectly and then left. We placed an order for one bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans as the side. We got the plate they served it with fries and rice inside the burrito how do you make a bean and cheese incorrectly. Will not be returning here tik tok making it seem like it's great and it's really not read more

Excellent chicken dinner! Similar to El Pollo Loco, but 1000 times BETTER! Don't miss this place! Prices are GOOD, food is AMAZING! Ordered the 1 chicken family style meal; it came with 3 sides, tortillas and Salsa. Every bite was delicious! Ordered flan for dessert and it was also very good- not too sweet! Next time we'll try their quest birria tacos! read more

WTF is going on in this place?! The girl at the register is not that bright. The wait times was horrible. There were people standing against the wall behind us for 30 minutes waiting for one burrito. Made the dining experience bad. Our foot about 45 minutes from the time we ordered and it was only three of us. Will not go there again and the food was sub-par. No idea where the good reviews come from but I'm assuming it's family and friends. read more

Amazing Saturday went to eat here after a trip to.the casino and wow is all I can say. The chicken had so much flavor, macaroni salad good, and the charo beans good. Nothing bad here and the price was great. Very nice employees. read more

The food was amazing delicious!! Customer service was outstanding. And the place is clean .

We had a great experience here! The owner personally came to our table, introduced himself and walked us through the dishes. Even sharing where their ingredients came from, which made everything even more special. I ordered the chilachiles rellenos divorciados and they came with a deep fried corn tamale. My first time trying it and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken gorditas were another standout. The masa was very light and not heavy at all, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The consomé was served separately and had a rich savory flavor that paired perfectly with all the dishes. When we first sat down, they brought out chips and frijoles puercos instead of the usual salsa, which was a fun and tasty surprise. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The ambiance was warm and welcoming with a relaxed vibe. They also have a couple of TVS to watch while you eat. Overall we will definitely come again! read more

This place has some of the most delicious food we've had out here in this area. The SOPA Azteca is my favorite but my husband and son love the chilaquiles.

Everything is served on clay plates or with the mugs that remind me of restaurants in Mexico. Love it! read more
