My whole family really loves Los Carnales. I'm surprised I haven't written about them yet. It's our 3 year old son's first choice when we were deciding where to go. He loves the chips with the green salsa, and he has good taste - it's very flavorful. The inside is just super cute and festive. It is small and cozy, but one of our favorite spots. We also love the waitresses. We do get take out often as well, but despite our introvert personalities we prefer to go there. We try different things on the menu, but we always start with the Choriqueso. It's so hard to find a good chorizo queso that isn't all grease with cheap cheese. This ends up being the little guy's meal. I also love the Ensalada de la Casa with shrimp. Lately we've been loving the Quesadilla Mexicanas with steak or shrimp. They are really generous portions as well. The menu has both Mexican and American style on the favorites, which I really appreciate. Not only is it good for those used to one style, but it also offers great variety if you just want something different. I'm sorry it took almost a year for me to applaud this place. Mexican is our favorite but I have struggled to find a good place, despite glowing reviews. The food looks fantastic but then the protein is completely bland. Not Los Carnales!! They know what they're doing.

The food was excellent. Started the meal with guacamole and chips. Fresh and perfectly prepared. I had the chicken soup for my main course. The soup was absolutely filled with chicken. Seasoned perfectly. The server was pleasant and helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody. It is nice to support local business.

Food was awesome and the portions were great, even enough for leftovers. Our server was friendly and service was perfect, we didn't wait long at all. Will definitely come back!

All the food we've gotten from here has been excellent. I highly recommend the al pastor tacos/burritos. The chips for the nacho appetizer taste homemade. The inside of the restaurant is colorful and spacious.

My food had mold growing on it and they keep deleting my review. This place is disgusting. This picture clearly shows two green mold spots on the tres leches. The health department is getting called. I ordered from them on 12/27/23. I also have videos but I cannot upload them.

Food was delicious and authentic Mexican. The service was super fast despite the restaurant being full. I found this place by accident but definitely can't wait to visit. Their tortas and quesabirrias are my favorite. Plus they have so many drink options. The decoration was cute and festive for the Dia de Los Muertos holiday coming up. Will be back again!

Since new ownership they’ve gone overboard with hidden fees - 3.5% credit card and a paper bag fee. It’s not the same value it used to
