I had a really disappointing experience at Tacos Los Carnales. I came specifically for the fish tacos, ordered at the register, paid, and then waited about 30 minutes for my food. After waiting that long, one of the cooks finally came over and told me they didn't have all the ingredients to make the fish tacos. It was frustrating because they had already taken my order and my payment, yet no one bothered to tell me until I had been waiting for half an hour. On top of that, getting a refund was a hassle and took longer than it should have. Good service starts with basic communication. If you're out of something, let customers know before charging them and making them wait. Unfortunately, this experience was a waste of time and very poorly handled. I won't be returning. The rating should really be 0 stars. read more

Food is good and fresh. The asada burritos are my go too but everything is good. You can order at the window for there or to go.

Delicious food , especially the asada fries . Service : friendly & Fast Really recommend this place it's a nice chill place read more

Honestly, I had two bad experiences here and I don't plan on returning or recommending this place. The first time we came, we ordered fish tacos and paid for it. After waiting for about thirty minutes, only because we checked in our order, we were informed they had ran out of the breading to make the fish tacos. Although they did give a refund, it was upsetting that they made us wait for no reason. Our second experience, we asked for two orders of fish tacos with the sides which cost $8.99 and the cashier (rude lady) charged us $13.99 for two orders of breaded fish. We tried to correct her and she stated we were wrong. We decided to wait for our order of fish tacos and came to find out that she had placed an order of breaded fish. When we pointed it out, instead of correcting the order, they made the tacos out of the breaded fish. At that point, I had lost my appetite. Worst thing is that when we asked for a refund for the overcharge, they gave us a hard time and the cashier demanded "patience" as if we had made the mistake. Poor costumer service and the food is not worth coming back for.. read more

My co-workers and I tried this place and we did not expect to like the carne asada fries as much as we did! This place is now becoming one of our work staples, but the parking is pretty challenging to get in and out of, especially during busy hours. read more

This is a food truck parked in the small parking lot of a restaurant. I had tripa tacos - you can tell them how to cook it (soft or crispy). I asked for crispy, and I would have preferred it crispier than how it came out. You can add cilantro, onions, salsa from the table - there's no deterrent for flies . They have several outdoor tables to sit on. read more

I recently went to go buy a roasted chicken Friday evening because it looks so good Came up to like 23 bucks with rice and beans. Didn't expect my stomach to be hurting me for three days straight. Then I realize it's a Pretty Busy St., Vernon a lot of buses and cars pass by, and they do not cover any of the chickens, so imagine all the dirt that's going on it for sure. I got a bad bacteria. They should really look into covering the chicken because to be honest with you. I would never go back respectfully read more

I'm so sad because this used to be one of my favorite burrito spots, and now I remember why I stopped coming here. Customer service was good Restaurant was clean, but there was a bunch of pigeons close to the salsa bar. The reason why I'm giving a 3 star rating is because time and time again I have come and ordered a burrito de asada with everything add on sour cream but I never get the sour cream. I get charged for the sour cream. However, they always fail to add it. Our food was on the saltier side today, too, so It wasn't enjoyable. I spent approximately $19 on a burrito and mulita and we left unsatisfied sadly read more

Food is amazing. Taste and service in point. Ambiance is chill asf. Line and cars always around the block. They know how to flavor right.

My favorite dish is the Asada Fries definitely my go to! The workers there are super nice and attentive, and are pretty good with answering their phone in a timely matter. The restaurant is pretty chill place to eat at, the only thing is that they only have outdoor seating so if you come on a chilly day a sweater is a must! Also, their parking lot is on the smaller end so keep that in mind. But overall pretty delicious food for a good price. read more

EAT YOUR HEART OUT KING TACO! GREAT NACHOS, BUT RUDE WOMAN TAKING ORDERS & THE PARKING IS TERRIBLE!! My boyfriend brought me to this place 5/6/21 pretty late (10:00pm) and ordered us food, and y'all, to get in there was hell. There is one way in and one way out! When you're reversing to get out, you're going into a busy street that doesn't give a care to wait (typical LA Bs) but beside that, honestly the worst part to it was the lady taking orders. She has a really bad attitude and it definitely made me want to leave. This was my first time here and who the heck wants to deal with a literal sourpuss. We went ahead and ignored the sourpuss and ordered. we ordered 1 Quesadilla, 1 large pina Fresca, 1 sope, and 1 box of nachos. Be sure to check your bags and don't forget your drinks like us, HAHA. We had to go back for the drink, and it was a disaster with parking the second time around. Food: The quesadilla was 10/10! Tastes like my grandma made it! Soooo filling and the flavors were totally there. sope: 10/10. Pretty big and super flavorful! Pina drink: 10/10 who doesn't like pineapple! (Just don't forget it because it's a bit expensive) Nachos: 10/10! They were amazing! They don't have beans (I need beans with nachos!) but the rest was amazing and still made it as a 10 meal. The asada is AMAZING, the other toppings tasted fresh, and I swear the cheese is crack. Way better thank king taco! Next time I will totally add beans, but as I said, the meal was still great. Besides some rocky customer service, I loved it here. Black people, white people, Puerto Rican's, Mexicans, and all of the above is eating here. It really is that good and I will definitely be back to try more things! They're also pretty affordable. All of our food was 20.00! Also, they stay open late! WINNING! read more

My high school friends invited me to los carnales restaurant. They recommended the asada fries. The food has amazing flavor!

Its tucked away behind the old location. Its a truck right in the back. The service was Fast and friendly. Young women took my order and sent it out. I judge all my taquerias based off 2 proteins and the salsas. The salsa are all good. The heat levels are not crazy, they are super enjoyable. Salsa Verde and Aguacate are drinkable :D The red salsa is bomb too and it comes inside your burrito if you want it how they prepare it. I ordered 1 chorizo taco 10/10. Single tortilla and chorizo was shhmmaackin. The Asada Burrito was hot and yummy too 10/10. Asada had bits of fat :D. The inside of burrito had warm rice, beans, melted cheese , Red Salsa, Onion, Cilantro and of course the asada. The perfect blend. Cant wait to be in the area again. Ill be coming back. read more

While I was there, another customer complained his fries were cold and I can only assume he was right. When I got home, my burrito was wrapped like crap and the Asada meat was 1/3 just fat. Best part was the salsa bar with grilled onions. read more

I love this place I was a new customer and I was truly amazed at everything thing they sell. Their amazing seasoned meat goes well with anything ! I loved this spot ! For sure going again soon. read more

Service: Quick and easy. Staff was friendly and prompt with taking the order and giving us our food. Service is out of a food truck and meat is grilled in front. Parking: Tough to find a spot. Cars were parked haphazardly wherever there was a bit of space. Annoying, but speaks to how high in demand this place is. Ambiance: Not really a place you want to sit. Music was obnoxiously loud. Lots of male clientele and we were a small group of women. Didn't feel the safest, but we got our food quickly and left. Food: Aguas Frescas ( orange) was large, delicious, and refreshing. Tacos (chicken) were good. But they didn't look appetizing. I personally don't like shredded chicken (lower quality cuts of meat), I like grilled and diced chicken (usually breast meat) in my tacos. But I got the shredded. Disappointing, but I still ate them and they tasted all right dressed up with onion, lime, and salsa. Salsa: Red (spicy), green (mild), and avocado salsa. This was the jewel to me. I love having lots of salsa options. They really saved the day for me. Overall: This place has great food. I just ordered the wrong thing. And that was on me for not asking how the chicken was prepared. I would definitely return though. read more

I've only ever ordered asada fries from here and pastor tacos a couple of times. I can't ever get enough of their asada fries. Their asada and pastor meat is perfect. There is a cook outside grilling fresh meat all day. Literally the only downside is parking. The lot is tiny and full depending on what time of day you're there. read more

This location is OPEN! I went to volunteer @ the LA Regional Food Bank down the street. On the way there I noticed them firing up the outdoor BBQ Grill around 9 am. I told myself that if it looked official on my way back home then I would stop for Lunch. Boy! Am I glad I did. All I needed to see was the perfectly golden brown chicken grilling to know I was going to eat well. This is authentic as it gets. I had to get the Orange soda with my Meal! The chicken was so flavorful and moist with a crispy skin. Combine that with the homemade salsa and tortillas! It was heaven. I will stop here every time I am in the area of Vernon. This is a hidden gem within this great city. read more

Another bad experience. I really wish i would not get hungry while out and about. If i wasnt so lazy i would just cook my own meals. I stopped by this place that i had passed several times and they have about 50 whole chickens an a huge grill and it looks and smells really good but of course, my picky pallette regretted it. 15 bucks down the drain. Well, not true. I did force myself to eat (i was so hungry) the two tacos. I ordered 2 tripas tacos and always say too overcook them and the guy agreed. I also ordered a carne asada burrito. He asked if i wanted everything in it. And i said "what is everything?". He said rice, beans, cilantro, onions, and salsa. Okay, right off the bat i said no rice and salsa on the side. All good....no nention of cheese, whew, cuz i hate cheese. Especially, in my burritos! I started with the tacos while on the road again. I open up the plate and see that the tripas are no where near overcooked. Almost undercooked but i choked them down due to hunger pangs. Then i get home still hungry so i cut off a piece of the burrito. . ..take a big bite....yuck!!!! CHEESE!!! WTF????? ENTIRE BURRITO IN THE TRASH Now im eating crackers and leftover rice that i made myself. Extremely disappointed. ...again read more

Very nice customer service and friendly staff. read more

From paying 21$ for 2 asada fries to now 24$ plus I get charged for paying debit or credit for less quantity! Going to look somewhere else.

Some of the best Horchata I've ever had. Great portions, affordable, and just overall really good food. Parking is a nightmare and it's cash only, but other than that great taco spot. read more

This place use to be pretty bomb. But lately their quality has slipped. The asada meat was real tasty but now it's pretty bland. And when I went yesterday their salsa bar was a mess and looked like rain water fell all over it. There were no lemons and the salsas looked real watery. Common sense should tell you to bring the salsa bar inside if it's raining. I'm disappointed, this place use to be really good. read more

What I saw today was very disappointing! The cashier was making Orchata with water from the sink, she didn't use purified water which personally I think its disgusting!

Cheap, affordable, and delicious Mexican food! Don't go to del taco next door. Come support this local business because the food is bomb! I ordered 3 tacos with a medium horchata - all for $5.26. The horchata was very authentic and refreshing. The tacos had a lot of flavor. Seatings available. Cash only but there's an ATM inside. read more

I was very hungry and excited about this place since it was being hyped up. Ordered 3 plates of chorizo and asada tacos and 4 horchatas for me and my family to try out. To discover a bee in my chorizo taco how very disappointing for our first and last time there. Made a call to see if I could get a refund on the plate and was treated poorly a rude lady answered the phone and denied my claim. Refused to find a compromise and kept saying she never received the photo. Never coming back to this place read more

I normally love this place, always fulfills my expectations. However, these past 3 times I've gone during this covid-19 quarantine and I've been really disappointed with the size variation of the burritos. My husband and I both ordered the same burrito and mine was exactly 3.5" bigger than his. Im not sure how you can make two different sizes of burritos on one order vary so much. 2nd time again we were craving burritos, I love their Lengua burrito which of course there's an up charge. Which I don't mind since it's always the best! But my burrito had very little meat(lengua). It might as well have been a rice, bean and cheese burrito. Third time I decided to change my order to Asada fries as to avoid being disappointed and I wasn't! They were the best asada fried ever!!! So when in doubt get ASADA FRIES! They grill the meat outside and it's perfectly cooked. My husband on the other hand wanted to give them one last chance and ordered a burrito and again, he was very dissatisfied. I suggested he go let them know about it maybe they'll fix it since we are regulars. But that was a Fail he came out even more upset than before. He said the man he told, said if we got a bigger sized burrito than the one we got we were lucky.He said that they always make the same sized burrito for everyone. and that he couldn't do anything to fix the problem since it wasn't a problem. My husband decided to just walk away and go buy himself another burrito at this mom and pop street taco spot on central and 42nd place. Which was huge! For $1 less! Adding pictures of size of burrito. You tell me if this is regular for you guys. My burritos when I order here are alway huge!!! Guess I'm lucky?? ‍ read more
