" This restaurant has secured a sweet spot in my heart. The tacos are fresh and authentic, full of flavor, and served quickly. I also love grabbing some homemade salsa from their grocery store to take home. Customer service is usually great, but I've had one bad experience where the staff seemed overwhelmed. But the delicious food makes it all worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Don Carlos was a pleasant experience. The food was fresh, with fantastic flavors, but unfortunately, the service was lackluster at times. The atmosphere was very casual, which I appreciated, but it felt like the staff needed better organization. All in all, a nice place for a casual meal, especially for their tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Don Carlos but found it to be average. The food was ok, nothing extraordinary. The service also felt a bit lackluster, and we waited a while for our food. Perhaps I expected too much, but it didn’t live up to the hype. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Don Carlos with high hopes given the rave reviews, and while the setup is charming, the food didn't fully meet my expectations. The tacos were tasty but a bit on the salty side for my palate. The service was decent, but I felt a lack of attention from the staff. I hope my next visit will be better, as I’ve heard so many great things about their carne asada! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I decided to check out Don Carlos! The flavors are vibrant and truly satisfying; every bite of the tacos was an absolute delight. The place had a friendly vibe, and my only complaint was that it got a bit crowded during our visit. Service was still decent, and I loved enjoying delicious food with my friends. I will surely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was initially drawn to Don Carlos for the variety on their menu. I ordered a mix of tacos and a burrito, and while the flavors were solid, they just didn’t pack the punch I anticipated. The service was decent, but I felt a bit overlooked. I enjoyed the rustic decor and overall vibe. I'll likely return, hoping to find some gems on the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought Don Carlos was overrated after my visit. The tacos were okay, but I couldn't taste the freshness I expected. Also, the service was lacking, and I felt ignored at times. However, the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, and the prices are good. I might give them another chance because I've seen so many positive reviews. " (*Curated Review*)
