This is the second location for Don Carbon Express in Middle Tennessee. What a great addition to Hendersonville. I've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Don Carbon as there are a couple of great Taquerias in town but the lines are long (a good sign) so there's demand in town for another Taqueria. This is a walk up counter so no long lines of cards circling the building like at other places. Not a criticism, that's just how they operate. When you walk in there is a large empty space and a few tables on the wall which indicates that this is primarily a take out place. I opted to eat in. It's pretty warm inside the restaurant so it was a bit uncomfortable but it didn't' detract from the delicious food. There are a large variety of typical options such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. They have the typical meat options of carne asada, carnitas,chicken, beef tongue and a few others. You can add onion, jalapeno, cilantro, etc. as garnishes. Served in two soft corn tortillas I ordered tacos de carnitas with onion and no cilantro (vile weed!) and refried beans as a side. They only have canned soda and Jariotos fruit flavored soda in bottles. They also have some type of fountain fruit punch. No fountain drinks so if you need a refill it's going to cost 1/4 the total meal cost. They also have small bags of tortilla chips and a freshly prepared salsa bar with typical options. They Salsa Picante from peppers is fabulous and the Salsa Pincante de Tomatillo has a nice kick. Nice little touch with the salsa bar. My tacos were excellent. They were served with grilled onion and a grilled jalapeno which were very tasty. They were served with a few slices of radish and pickled carrot in true Taqueria style. The food was prepared quickly and my carnitas (crispy) were juicy and flavorful. The refried beans were pretty typical. The were served warm and the queso melted sufficiently to enhance the flavor. Overall, the service was excellent but the "dining room" does not lend itself to comfort. The food however was outstanding. This will definitely be a "comebacker" for me. Thoroughly enjoyed it

2nd time coming here, first time was OK. But tonight I got $40 worth of food i actually couldn't eat. It was wet,sloppy and burnt all at the same time. Idk what happened but it was pretty close to closing time however I don't think that should effect the food quality to this level of actual slop.
