This place is a MUST try. The service is always great. Seated immediately with waters, chips (delicious), salsa and white bean dip. Today our server was Chasity, who was so kind and pleasant. The tacos were fabulous – their chef’s plate the food with elegance. Soooo delicious. Nice environment. We will be back! Thank you el Carbon staff!!!!

I dined at Publlico and Angel gave me a ticket for $10 off to dine with you. The service was impeccable! I was dining alone but at least 4 servers checked in with me as the restaurant got more crowded. The food was amazing. I loved the bean dip with the chips and my entire meal was presented so beautifully. Everything was fresh and delicious. I am visiting Scottsdale and staying at the WorldMark timeshare. I have told them to add you to their list of local eateries to let other guests know to visit El Carbon.

Found this while looking for a good fish taco restaurant for my mother-in-law. What an awesome find for us. She had her fish and I had a hankering for enchiladas. She loved the ahi ahi special and my chicken enchiladas were one of the best I have ever had. They allowed me to have all three sauces on the three enchiladas, which was the best tasting combo. See pic. They also sat us in a table location we wanted but it was in front of a door. They simply said no problem we will just lock this door and direct people to the front. This, among the great service is why I gave them the highest rating.

This place was amazing! Hidden little spot in the quiet areas of Scottsdale. Lots of parking, to begin with. We were greeted nicely and got a table so quick even though we didn’t have a reservation. My husband tried the Oaxaca old fashioned, I had a sip and it tasted good, to me an old fashioned has to have a single cube or is not an old fashioned but flavor wise was good. I had THE BEST tasting food ever. I asked our server for a recommendation and she recommended the “cochinita pibil” and it was DELICIOUS! I wish I could eat more of that. It’s so good, the flavors are all there and the meat was so tender! The pickled onions and guacamole in the side were a great addition and the corn tortillas tasted so fresh. My husband had a “Al pastor bowl” and it tasted really good too. I think you can’t go wrong with anything here. Next time visiting Scottsdale we will be back and recommend it! Also, bathroom were very clean and aesthetically pleasing. One little thing, the restaurant felt a little warm but I do understand that Arizona is just hot.

Restaurant week, great opportunity for my friend and I to try a new place for MX food. I made Opentable Saturday 6:15 dinner reservations for 2. Upon arrival, we saw a nice patio seating area, when entering, the atmosphere was pleasant. The place was occupied with several small tables and booths. No hostess, it just starting to get busy as they were getting a party of 12 settled in which the hostess was helping. Finally we were seated. Stephanie our server introduced herself, very nice. She gave us some time to decide on our drinks. As I notice she was the only server taking orders. We got her attention as I wanted to put our order for cocktails and food in before the table of 12 did. We ordered off the “restaurant week” menu plus margaritas. We were given chips, salsa and a bean dip. The margaritas were excellent. We ordered another round, by now our guacamole appetizer came. I noticed a table of 5 came in followed by another table of 8. By this time Stephanie was all over the place. Our dishes were not being cleared by the young men working there. My friend’s sides came for his fajitas, then waited for some time before his beef fajitas were delivered. In the meantime I’m putting our empty margarita glasses, guacamole bowl and extra plates on the empty table next to our because no on is clearing dishes. My friend did not want to start until my chicken fajitas came. We waited and waited and saw the table of 12 were getting food along with people getting take out. It got to the point I hailed down the hostess to please check on my chicken fajitas. Finally my sides and dish were delivered. I even notice that the table next to us with 2 women were thoroughly getting annoyed for the lack of attention. We ate and at this time, I requested boxes to take my leftovers home and that we were ready for desert. At this point Stephanie is really running around servicing the 12 and 8 table. My friend and I waited and waited literally 20 mi. until I flagged down Stephanie and told her I wanted our desserts to go and our bill. We got the bill but again had to wait and 15 minutes for the desserts. The women next to us we complaining to us about the lack of service.
On the up side, the guacamole was very good, chunks of avocado and a nice touch warming up the chips. Salsa could have been spicier, and I did ask for their hottest sauce they had on the side and that was excellent. Margaritas were excellent. Both chicken and beef chicken fajitas plus all the sides were excellent. Our take home desserts were just thrown into boxes at this point, 4 churros no ice cream. The brownie in the box with a container of ice cream. Though my friend did say the brownie was really good.
So what started out as a very enjoyable dinner that we were looking forward to, ended up leaving me extreme annoyed at the lack of service. I have my doubts to revisit just for that reason.
Atmosphere: nice, simple, indoor and patio seating. Service: poor (lack of servers). Food: very good.

Delectable authentic Mexican. High quality food and wonderful service. I’ve been eating Mexican food my whole life, and this is an outstanding restaurant! The chicken enchiladas were amazing, and I tried all 3 sauces. Verde was the best, but all tasty. The steak in the fajitas was high quality and perfectly seasoned. Can’t wait to come back.

Came to El Carbòn since we were in the area, and absolutely loved it. Would definitely make the 40 minute drive to eat here again.
As you sit down they bring you chips, salsa and bean dip. Their salsa and bean dip was incredible. We ordered a traditional margarita and the carne asada tacos from their happy hour menu. We also ordered the carne asada quesadilla off the traditional menu. The food came out very hot and you can tell the carne asada was high quality and fresh.
The bartender was also serving all the tables. Although he was extremely busy with the bar and tables he insured we were happy with our food and drinks that came out.
I have already recommended this place to friends in the Scottsdale area. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!
