El Paisano Mexican Restaurant in Carbondale, IL Review – Facebook
We had quesabirria, avocado fresca, steak with chili verde. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, probably one of the better guacs that we had.

Went in and sat at the bar although there was plenty of seating. Staff was very welcoming and the bartender was very nice and helpful. We ordered watermelon margaritas, and they did not disappoint! I asked the bartender what she recommended and she didn’t hesitate to let us know what her favorite dish was… And her second choice.. we ordered both, and they were so delicious! Big thank you to the bartender for making out date night a little extra special.. 10/10 recommend

We were here for an event party and they provided a buffet dinner here. It was good, authentic Mexican food with a good selection, basically a fajita bar. The best part though were the margaritas…3 sizes with different flavors to choose from, served in chilled glasses. Tried the regular and the peach. Both very good. If we’re ever back in town, we will seriously consider coming back here as we always prefer local establishments over any chain, any day.

Have been here about 4-5 times. First couple times had good service and food. Went one day for taco Tuesday. Can only get one kind of taco and it has to be in multiples of 3. I ordered the chorizo and my gf ordered the al pastor. They both looked and tasted the same. I told them I wanted chorizo and they said it was. They took them back and gave me al pastor again.
The last time (and I mean last time) I went, the al la playa had potatoes mixed with the rice. Black burnt pieces ( wasn’t grilled chicken). It really looked like someones leftovers and i could not finish it. The tortillas they gave me already had pieces of chicken left over from the last person that didn’t eat them.

This is hands-down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of authentic charm. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome—always friendly, attentive, and quick with refills.
The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is bursting with fresh flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The tacos were packed with tender, juicy meat, the enchiladas had just the right kick, and the guacamole tasted like it was made seconds before hitting the table.
What I love most is the consistency—you can tell they put real care into every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is unbeatable. Whether you’re here for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a night out with friends, this place hits the mark every single time.
If you’re craving authentic Mexican food with amazing service and atmosphere, look no further. This restaurant is a gem—I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Went here for the first time on Monday. All we have to say is wow. Both of our meals were fantastic. The large horchata was so massive that I needed help finishing it. The chips and salsa were very good too. The service was very very friendly. And last but not least, the atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant. My partner said the steak street tacos were the best they’ve ever had. My fajita quesadilla was also excellent, and I was INCREDIBLY impressed it didn’t fall apart. Every quesadilla I get from somewhere ends up falling apart lol, but not El Paisano’s! Couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our anniversary. Will definitely be back.

It was our first time here. Ive been reading rave reviews of this place on a FB resteraunt review group page. I ordered the Mexican enchalada meal and Bill had two hard shell tacos and a tostada meal with chili toriados. We also had guacamole with our chips and salsa and i had a horchata. Everything was fantastic. The service was just the absolute best. We had a great conversation with our waiter. Bill stood up and started walking out after lunch and had an episode, falling to the floor incoherently, for several minutes and then I went to retrieve his wheelchair. The staff was so patient and understanding and helped him finally get into his chair and then came out and helped me again by getting him in the car. They didnt have to do that. They were so kind. We will be back again for more great food!
Update: We come back often. His favorite is the fajitas which come with the lettuce and guacamole beans and rice. My favorite is the Pollo Azteca which is this perfectly seasoned chicken breast on queso with shrimp on top, beans and rice. Of course you can’t forget the jalapeño tornados with their perfect peppery spiciness!
