Carbajal’s Mexican Food

I went to eat here with a friend and my baby. The waitress was a bit confabulated. My friend ordered two carne Asada tacos with rice and beans. I ordered a green chile burrito enchilada style. The waitress only asked us both if we wanted rice and beans, no other questions. She brought our food out and my friends tacos were hard tacos and my burrito was not enchilada style. My friend did not want hard tacos in the first place, so the server brought out soft tortillas so he can transfer the meat himself, however, she did take my burrito back and made it enchilada style. The food was horrible, the meat was hard and the green sauce had so much pepper. My friend couldn’t eat the second taco and told the server he was not satisfied with the food. The owner came to the table and said that most people know how to order their tacos hard or soft. She mentioned that all the meat is fresh and she has been around for 25 years. So my friend told her then we will not come back. She said «then do not come back». She refused to even discount his one taco or do anything to make it right! I would suggest to anyone, do not waist your money or time at this restaurant! There is better places even for less money and better quality. As we were walking out the waitress tells me to «smile pretty». I got the last laugh when she picked up the credit card slip with no tip!

So came in on a Saturday night thinking they were open until 10, came in at 850, was instructed at the door they were closed by a fenale whom seemed familiar with this establishment, I said crazy to be done by 8, she said no 9, I said we still have 10 minutes, the people she was with agreed. Super bummed and annoyed

Just a small restaurant in a strip mall in east Mesa but it is worth a try. The owners are from Deming New Mexico and they feature Hatch green chili’s in their recipes. My wife and I tried the Mexican shrimp cocktail and Carbajal burro and both were tasty. Prices are decent and the burro was huge!

Sara S and Alex S. I’ve read your reviews and highly disagree. Perhaps your taste buds have expired? Carbajal’s is top notch, family owned, and is fairly priced. Especially when considering the location is somewhat discreet and easy to miss. The food here is some of the best I’ve had, and I’ve had em’ all. I won’t name any specifically, because that’d be counterproductive. Hostesses are more than friendly. Great atmosphere and décor. It’s great being able to walk right in and sit down. A hidden gem on Main St. Can’t beat it. located in Sun Valley Plaza East of Power, just West of Sossoman North side of the street, for those who wish to find it… as you should, because you won’t be disappointed. Sara K and Alex K don’t know what they’re talking about. So check it out and add your review afterwards.

Horrible horrible. Over priced. Disgusting. Will never go back. Salsa was nasty. And so was the food. Do not eat here.

My wife and I walked in on a Thursday night… sat at the bar and ordered beers and food… asked to change the tv to the NFL network and they were more than happy to oblige! Had the machaca chimi and the wife, cheese enchilada and taco. All was delicious! Bartender offered a free sample of their house margarita (as they make their own mix…)… unexpected, and delicious! We will be back for more!

This place is mediocre at best. Perhaps I am weird when I expect a Mexican restaurant to serve spicy food. The food was bland and the server was too busy texting to refills beverage or bring my bill.

Very good authentic Mexican food. Chips were thin and crispy… my relleno was perfect, and carne aside taco was perfect, just forgot to make it authentic and remove the lettuce and tomato and only have cilantro onion and cheese. Waitress was very pleasant.

Pretty decent food check it out if you aren’t really sure where to eat in the area. The Chimi I had was fried just right and had a good flavor profile.

I was sad when the Baseline location of Carbajal’s closed, but thanks to Unilocal,we found out that Carbajal’s moved from Baseline to Main St.
Carbajal’s does not have real fried ice cream — at least, not any more if they did. I just ate there and their ice cream is rolled in corn flakes. It’s still delicious though. Too bad, I was looking forward to trying it.
Carbajal’s recipe is simplicity. They sell all the usuals, including mid-​sized chimichangas, tacos, quesadillas, etc. The average plate sells for about $ 8. I always get the ground beef chimichanga with green sauce, sour cream, and guacamole. It is straightforward, but one of the best I’ve had in town. Their sauce is fantastic. They serve fresh chips and salsa while you wait (and throughout the meal), and they do serve alcohol.
The restaurant is small — about 8 tables, plus 4 comfortable booths. When we went there, they were accommodating a group of nearly 15 people, so mid-​to-​large groups are certainly do-​able. Carbajal’s plays horribly low-​budget Tejano music videos on their multiple HDTV’s, which I found entertaining, if not at least laughable.
I will most certainly go again and again, and I recommend Carbajal’s Mexican Food to ANYONE who enjoys Mexican food in general.
