Don Carbon – Square Tortillas!!!

Overall Bites:

Value: Amazing. All this food for only $10!!!

Taste: Taste- potato baked to perfection, not undercooked. Charro beans were not too salty which is good and has a spicy kick to it which I love. Steak, like dad homemade it. Tortillas are squared! How unique. Salsa roja was not too hot just the right amount. Added some to my charros.

Presentation: Very well done. Only place I’ve seen with square tortillas.

Vibe: Cashier needs to smile.

Accessibility: Super easy place to find right off of I-10.

Time of Visit: Lunch, 3:45pm

Don Carbon, yes, C-A-R-B-O-N. I didn’t misspell that. What a clever name! I went around 3ish on a Thursday. They were moderately busy and I stayed for roughly 45 minutes. By this time the restaurant had died down but the drive thru was insane! At one point there were 6 cars waiting. That should tell you how good this place is. I enjoyed that the employees take pride in their restaurant. They grabbed some brooms and made sure the outside was just as presentable as the inside. My only complaint, because this is a review after all, is that the cashier needed to smile.

Let me just say, DELICIOUS! The steak was tender and juicy, not too salty, the charros (beans for those of you not in the know) had the right amount of onions, and the baked potato was baked to perfection! I personally hate when parts of the ‘baked’ potato are still raw. And the portion size…O-M-G! I couldn’t finish the plate by myself. It was like a mini parrillada (spanish for a grilled dish). It was well presented with cute little dixie cups with the salsa and they had SQUARE tortillas! Very unique and very eye catching. All of this for only $10! Most of us could feed two with this plate.

You can’t go wrong with Don Carbon! Ciao for now!
