One of the classic, retro Tex-Mex venues and one of my favorites. I believe there are now other locations but for me, the 76th Street location has its own charm and this is where I come.
Don Carlos exceeded my expectations in every way! The restaurant ambiance was inviting, the menu offered a diverse array of delicious options, and the service was impeccable. From start to finish, it was a delightful dining experience. I can't wait to return and savor more of their fantastic dishes!
We eat there about twice a week. The service is always good and the food is hot and fresh. Can't beat 3 Enchiladas for $9.95. You choice carnitas(my favorite) shredded chicken or ground beef. They have hands down the best chips and salsa. You get free queso at lunch till 3pm. Definitely worth the trip to the Eastside.
The food was not the greatest but they made up for it with a fantastic service and a great atmosphere.
This post was long overdue because Don Carlos is one of my longtime favorite Mexican Restaurants located where I grew up. The food is usually on point and the margaritas are so good! I had the grilled beef fajitadilla with rice and beans. Friends had the flautas, grilled fajitas, fish tacos, menudo and nachos. We ate well!
This restaurant holds many food memories. It’s the place you go to before or after church, shopping, studying and simply showing up for life. It’s the perfect friend hangout. Our group has our special table and the staff knows many of us. One sees politicians, families, business people and locals dining on Mexican goodies.

The Service is great. Food and atmosphere could be a little better. All the employees and wait staff are very friendly.
So this was a recommendation from hubby as he recently had gone on a business meeting there. I had the Coronado, 2 cheese enchiladas with Chile con queso on top which it was missing just got queso on top, everything was delicious and I normally try something that I would not cook at home but this time I wanted to try someone else's chili con queso. Well maybe next time.
Went on a Saturday Afternoon about 12... We had a table of at least 14 people. The servers where attentive and split the bills correctly.. Which was a pleasant surprise.. The food came out at the same time and was pretty good. Will go back..
