“ The chips and salsa are fresh and tasty. The place also gives you side of refried beans for your chips. We had the elote which we found to be tasty overall but would be better with less mayo. Seabass was delicious and comes with generous portions of vegetables and rice. The chili relleno with carne asada was also full of flavor, but it is not spicy at all. ”

“ Absolutely lovely restaurant! I work in the area and we have team lunch every Wednesday. Walked past it a few times since it opened, Im so glad we decided to give it a try. Warm and clean atmosphere the moment we entered, cute decorations and green plants all around the space, a beautiful, well stocked bar, you can tell they put thought into the interior design, which I totally adore. Service is excellent, lunch price is great. Complimentary chips were very tasty and crispy. Ordered a carnitas bowl, it was the best Ive had in a long time. Braised pork, smoked corn, guacamole, cilantro rice, everything was so fresh and flavorful! Me and my coworkers are so happy with El Carbon we will definitely be back! Cant wait to do happy hour and try their margaritas p ”

“ This place is the best! The food is amazing, the staff is unbelievably friendly and accommodating. They actually ask you if you want to ENJOY your drink and Appetizers for awhile and then put in the main in a few minutes. Who does that......no one!!! The place is SUPER clean and FOOD is VERY FRESH!! Music, is light and relaxing. Okay, Gainey Ranchers, McCormick Ranchers, and ALL passing through OR starving and looking for a GREAT FOOD FIX and SUPER NICE staff, this is IT!!! I eat alone a lot and no problems there come to this great, welcoming place! Lots of parking too! ”

“ We made a last minute decision to eat out and this restaurant turned out to be our choice. And it turned out to be just perfect for us. When we were ordering, we told our waiter, Taylor, that we like our dishes to be spiced up. His recommendations were right on par with what we wanted. We ended up ordering Blacken Salmon and Guaymas Shrimp. He also surprised us with some spicy dip for our chips. If the food did not arrive a bit early, we probably would have killed our appetite with chips and this particular dip apparently called sesame, chili diablo. When the food arrived, we are in for a surprise as the it included some sort of spicy rice along with good grilled collection of vegetables. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and the atmosphere and the hospitality. The food may be a bit pricey but it was well worth it for us. We were in and out within 1hr 15 minutes. ”

“ Visiting the area found this gem by luck. On this evening, restaurant was shortstaffed, but Mr. T Jacob were both multitasking running their butts off, so it was a nonissue. The complementary chips were warm provided dips very tasty. Ordered a carnitas bowl chicken enchiladas could not believe how quickly our food was served. Every bite was delicious as shown in the photos, very sizable portions. Also ordered their version of a spicy margherita which had just the right amount of heat. Overall, a very nice meal pleasant experience. Will certainly stop again on our next visit to Scottsdale. ”

“ We were pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious the food is. Jacob Kain were very attentive and nice, and the restaurant was very clean with a nice atmosphere. Very shocking at how affordable it was to eat such great food. Well definitely will be back, and well bring friends family! ”

“ The owner Danny treated us like good friends. Taylor our waiter was helpful and knowledgeable. We love the flavor that comes from the wood stoves. ”

“ There is a lot to like about this place. The decor is neat, clean, and inviting. The staff are friendly, attentive, and fun. I had a chicken chimichanga. It came with guacamole, sour cream, and Mexican salad. My food came quickly and was delicious. Definitely a great place to enjoy a wonderful meal! ”
