I actually found out about this place from Yelp, after having a craving for some tacos. Sure, I could have gone to Taco Bell, but we all know that it’s just not the same! After trying the tacos here, I probably won’t ever go to Taco Bell again. The tacos at Tacos al Carbon are inexpensive, and taste so good. There are a lot of different varieties of meat you can choose from, such as shredded beef, shredded chicken, ground beef, spicy pork, and carne asada (to name a few). I personally enjoyed the shredded beef and shredded chicken tacos – in a soft taco shell. It was topped with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, and the flavors in the meats made the tacos even more flavorful. I also had the rice and beans, which with 3 tacos is a good lunch just for $6.99.
My husband ordered hard shell tacos with carne asada meat, and ordered some guacamole. The guacamole tasted fresh, although it could have been more flavorful. As for the chips, they taste different from any tortilla chip that I’ve ever had, and could have been better. But overall, the food was pretty good. Also, if you’ve never tried the Mexican drink horchata, try it here! Horchata is a rice drink with cinnamon flavors, although it is made differently in different countries. I always enjoy this drink because I find it refreshing, and it just made my entire meal authentic and delicious.
The cool thing about this place is that it’s open 24 hours, and you can either eat inside (which is quite small) or take out in their taco truck across the parking lot!
