" I’ve been to El Carbonero multiple times, and it’s consistently delicious! The tacos are among the best I've ever had—and I'm quite picky about my tacos. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, the outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying the Florida sun while tasting incredible food. I had to wait a bit longer during my last visit, but the great food made up for it. I know I’ll return for more tasty treats soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic Salvadoran cuisine in a charming outdoor setting! The ambiance was welcoming, with bright colors and a nice breeze. I had the fried yucca and tacos, both of which were delicious! The flavors were authentic and made me feel like I was at a family fiesta back home. The only downside was the timing of service; I felt it could have been faster. Regardless, it’s a perfect spot to enjoy good food with friends. I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Carbonero was so enjoyable! They have a wide variety of authentic dishes, but I especially loved their tacos, which are always cooked fresh and taste incredible. The garden ambiance makes it an excellent place to relax while enjoying a meal. The only thing I’d point out is that during dinner time, the service can be a bit slower due to the rush, but it’s worth the wait. I plan to bring family and friends here! A must-try restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to try El Carbonero after hearing rave reviews, and I’m glad I did! The outdoor seating creates a lovely ambiance, and the menu is full of authentic Salvadoran and Mexican options. I had the pupusas and my friend ordered the carne asada tacos - both were fantastic! The staff was friendly, but it was slightly busy, which caused my drink refills to lag. Overall, the welcoming vibe and the incredible food make it a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who grew up enjoying Salvadoran food, I can say that El Carbonero truly captures the authentic tastes I cherish. I had their traditional pupusas filled to the brim, complemented by homemade salsa and a side of coleslaw. They have nailed the flavor combination and texture! The service was friendly, but I did experience a bit of a wait. However, I appreciated the staff's dedication to creating an enjoyable environment for diners, complete with excellent recommendations. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hit the jackpot when I found El Carbonero! It has the authenticity of a family-run spot and my experience was excellent! The tacos made with fresh corn tortillas and filled with mouth-watering grilled meats are delightful. I especially loved the fried plantains as a side dish! The atmosphere is an inviting outdoor setting with twinkling lights that add charm. On my visit, I had a slight delay for the food, which made me anxious, but the sincere apologies from the staff put me at ease. I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys Salvadoran cuisine to check this place out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Carbonero was mixed. I have heard great things about this place from friends but found myself a bit underwhelmed. The ambiance is quite nice with outdoor seating that makes it cozy. However, the service I received could have been better; I often felt ignored by the staff, and my food took longer than expected. The tacos were decent, but they didn’t blow me away. I might give it another chance considering the positive reviews I’ve heard, but I’m hesitant after my last meal. " (*Curated Review*)
