Best WLM Reviews

Delicious as always. Great ambiance, very good service, great food, and the mariachi playing in the background. What else can I ask for? I have been coming to Tacos al Carbón for more than 20 years, and it was and is a bastion of Mexican food in San Jose. I couldn't decide between Carne Asada and Seafood. So I had an Azteca Plate and had a side of a Filete de Pescado Empanizado (Breaded Fish Fillet). It was memorable! Can't say enough of how much I like this place. Absolutely recommended.
Came here with my family and is very authentic. They have a large selection of Mexican dishes and the vibe is amazing if you come at night for live music, sports or just for a good time!
We ordered the enchiladas michoacanas which were amazing, we also got a pina colada, steak plate and parrillada. I really recommend!
Came on a Saturday and it was decently busy. I was greeted by an amicable staff member next to a really big screen TV. The chicken enchiladas is were great and the chorizo was on point. Establishment was clean, lots of parking in the plaza parking lot.
Went there with my family. Place was dirty. Order a margarita and it was watered down so I ask for it to be remade the second was worse it the cup was even dirty with some red stuff. Rice and beans that came with my plate were cold and guacamole was brown. My plate came with steak it was so small the nopal was bigger. Steak was sour and tasted like fish. The rest of the food was terrible as well I don’t have enough space for everything. The waiter never came to ask if we needed anything and not because it was busy (there were only 3 other tables being served). It was just a bad experience don’t waste your time and money at this place.
YES YES YES !!! I've been too wayy to many Mexican restaurants. This one is it!!! Great food, awesome music ????, and best in house drinks ???? 10/10 would recommend. Prices are very reasonable here as well
I liked the service here.. the waitress was attentive to my table and very helpful. The plate I ordered was the "mariachi" which was shrimp rolled in bacon and filled with cheese and jalapeño. I might check this place out again just to see what else they have on their menu..
Came back for a 2nd try
Almost gave a 5 star.
Waitress(Betty) was awesome lady very polite ,very attentive and professional
Big difference from the managent before.
Food came out quick and nice temperature
The only thing that blew it for me was the carnitas???????? very dry , seemed from days passed and like pieces that no one wants, just wasn't satisfied at all especially for $16.95. ????????????????
We intended to go there for drinks and the Choriqueso. To our delight, it came with freshly made corn tortillas which were amazing ????
