We love the Social Cantina in Carmel. It feels like vacation every time we visit there. I want to…read morehighlight our most recent visit when our family of 12 celebrated Father's Day. The restaurant easily accommodated us is a separate area that was near the restaurants and a long booth bench on pine side. Perfect for our four five and under. Our server Hannah was cheerful and knowledgeable and was an asset to our celebration. Our food and drinks were delicious. We got the margarita tower (twice). It is delicious and definitely a statement (And the bartender certainly has a great sense of humor)! We all had delicious food. I tried the Korean chicken bowl as a salad (I love that you can order rice or lettuce for the bowls). I tried avocado with ahi tuna appetizer and could easily make that a meal. If you think Asian/Mexican fusion is not a thing, think again. We will be back to the Carmel location as well as the Indy location. Sit indoors, sit outdoors and enjoy a great experience either with a larger party or family party or just a couple of you

We've been curious about social cantina ever since it opened. I took my mom here for a Mother's Day…read morelunch without a reservation. I was shocked when it was barely busy. Our server was a nice girl, but extremely slow service. We had to ask for everything--straws, more water, more chips. She checked in on us maybe twice during our whole meal and didn't deliver our food. Food was pretty mediocre and had little to no seasoning. I'm still not 100% sure that the Margarita actually had alcohol in it as it was incredibly weak. The chips and dip flight is pretty cool in theory, but the queso and guac are the only dips that I would get. Everything else is just...meh. Your run of the mill Mexican joint at the corner will have better food and service than here. I would probably go somewhere else unless you're just looking for a cool vibe.

Good food overall. Seemingly random operating hours and closures. We stopped in for an easy…read moredinner knowing they close "early" by 7pm. But they weren't even open at 5 pm. No signs up either. Just a locked up door. Had the campechanos burrito. Side of chips, guac, and queso were expensive. The esquite was terrible - definitely don't recommend that. It was frozen bland corn with lots of mayo. FYI- Will surcharge for credit card use.

The "Df" in the name of this restaurant vexed me every time I saw it. Was it a sound? A typo? Then…read moreI visited Gil Tacos and thought I should actually look into it. It turns out Df is supposed to be D.F., capital D and capital F, as in Distrito Federal, the former name of Mexico City. So "Estilo D.F." means Mexico City-style. I've been trying to get Yelp to change the "Df" to "D.F." in the restaurant name, to no avail. So I had to write this little preface to appease the editor in me, and so that other people, who might also be wondering what Df means, knows what it means and how it's supposed to be spelled. Tacos! Gil Tacos specializes in tacos. They have a lot of tacos on their menu. This is the place to get those hardcore Mexican tacos, like lengua, tripe and cabeza. I am a softcore Mexican, so I opted for carnitas, al pastor and choriqueso. I got them Mexico City-style, which is with some diced onion and cilantro. The choriqueso was my favorite, and had a nice blob of cheese in it. The two pork tacos were a wee bit grisly and dry. Twice, I had to go up to the counter where the salsa was and douse my tacos in green chile salsa. The dry meat doesn't bother me as much as the gristle. I don't like fishing around in my mouth to pick out cartiledge. Salsa and chiles and things are at the front where you pick up your food. It's a communal thing. When you get your food, you can add salsa. That reminds me: You order at the counter, and they call your number. There's no table service. We also got a carne asada burrito, which I was told was excellent. Maybe I'll get a burrito the next time I visit, or a torta. But I had to get the tacos, because the word "tacos" is in this restaurant's name! How could I not? They have horchata and jamaica, and soft drinks in bottles and cans (like Mexican Coke). They also have beer in bottles.

I enjoyed the vibes and artwork here, though the music was quiet and basically just background noise. What really did it for us was our server/bartender. I ordered two tacos & two skinny margaritas. The marg's should have been $4 or $5 dollars according to the waiter KAYLEN which I asked him about prior to ordering. Upon receiving the check, it came out to $18 for both margaritas. When we asked him about it he replied, "It's not my job to correct y'all." When my friend asked him his name he lied and said it was John. After we left we called to express how disappointed we were with his service and the manager said we don't have a "John" at this location. I'll never come back to this location or this franchise based on this experience. I can get over a cold taco when the service is good, but Kaylen ruined it for everyone. It was a weak margarita and weak service on his part when I explicitly asked him if the daily deals were still happening and he replied "yes" just to charge us full price. Never again.

It's a staple on the menu and the only vegan option-this is so disappointing to come here to be told they are out. Please, if this is a popular item then order enough.

¡Delicioso! Wow, loved my salad here! I chose the Ensalada…read moreMargarita with Chicken. The chicken is Tinga style, shredded and seasoned. They gave me a generous portion, the protein amount made it well worth the $12. The salad was a bed of leafy lettuce for extra nutrition and topped with cherry tomatoes, pickled onions (key ingredient), queso fresco, one scoop of guac (only complaint-not enough for the size of the salad), pepitas and a citrus vinaigrette on the side. The dressing is delicious! It all was delicious!! I would get it again in a heartbeat but also would want to try others things in the menu as well. My friend got the Chicken in Chipotle bowl. She loved it as well. The portion did not look as large, but it was $12.50. This comes with rice and black beans with adobo chunked chicken and other toppings including a scoop of guac and the delicious pickled onions. Very happy with our choice of La Margarita inside of the Sun King Brewery. Check them out for sure!

I also opted for additional toppings - lettuce, sour cream and shredded cheese (Soy gringa!). While the Dasher was at the store, they advised me that the restaurant said it will take a little longer than expected and he apologized on their behalf. I'm not sure if it's customary for them to include chips and salsa with every order, but that was a pleasant surprise. My additional toppings were not added to the tacos but came served on the side. The portion sizes were generous for the lettuce, cheese and sour cream. The tacos themselves were flavorful with generous portions of tender meat, and everything tasted fresh. I demolished the rice and beans first. They were really good as well. I will gladly order for them again in the future.

The sopes looked good, with a mountain of fresh lettuce, but the meats were inedible. At 5:00 pm on a Saturday, I would have expected the food to be fresh for the dinner crowd, but it was not. The clerk was aloof, we had to ask for sauce to try and add some flavor to the sopes. Dirty dishes overfilled tubs near the trash. What an unappetizing mess. Won't be back.

The restaurant itself is nice and has a beautiful interior and an outdoor patio. Booking was easy, parking wasn't bad either. We were seated quickly, and our server brought menus and water. After that, she completely disappeared. We waited for 30 mins and I walked up to the front desk to check if someone could help us. New guy came to our table and took our order, then 2 mins later the original server came, asking if we were ready to get food... Ever since then every interaction felt awkward. No apology, nothing like "sorry we dropped the ball, here's 10% off your check". The food was pretty good - seafood paella was huge and delicious, hence, an extra star. Seems like a repeating issue at this location, so I hope management makes improvements.
